[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Dear Nrusimha BhakthAs :

 

Today was the fifth day of the KshEthrAdanam .

It was the half way point of this KshEthrAdanam .

adiyEn arrived at Sri Matamand prostrated before

asmath AchAryan .

 

adiyEn requested His niyamanam to have adiyEn's Father's

SathamAna Uthsavam to be conducted at Sri Matam under His

adhyaksham . Asmath AchAryan consented graciously to the prArTanA .

He suggested to the Sannidhi Cook Swamy to prepare JilEbhi for

the next day for MalOlan's preethi as a special sweet besides

AkkAra Vadisil .

 

Paanaka AarAdhanam sessions of the evening

**************************************************************

adiyEn stayed for the Evening Paanaka AarAdhanam and was blessed to hear

the Sri Nrusimha AshtOtthara Satha Naama SthOrthram , which starts with :

 

SrI NrusimhO MahAsimhO DhivyasimhO MahABala:

UgrasimhO MahAdEva UpEndhrascchAgni-lOchana:

 

and concludes with :

 

JwAlAahOBila-MaalOla krODa Kaaranja BhArgava:

YogAnandha: ChathravaDa: PaavanA NavamUrthaya:

 

The evening AarAdhanam is strong on PrabhandhAnusandhAnams

in front of MalOlan and His dhivya PadhukA SEvakar .

 

It was wondeerful to hear the SEVEN Taniyans and the entire PallANDu of

PeriyAzhwAr next .

 

The PoocchUttal Pasurams were invoked inviting MalOlan ( Uruvam Azhagiya Nambi)

to adorn SeNpakam , Mallikai , Paadhiri , Senkazhuneer , Punnai , Kurukkatthi

,

IruvAtchi and Karumuhai flowers on His beautiful , wavy tresses .

 

The Kaappidal Paasurams followed . The concerned Mother seeks protection for

Her infant child through Kaappidal Paasurams . Mother YasOdha out of fear of

any harm coming the way of Her darling child and reminds Him , the Omniscient

that it was " andhiyam pozhuthAhum AzhahanE ! KaappiDa VaarAy " . She goes on to

address Her precious child as " VaLLalE ! Jn~AnacchudarE ! ParamanE ! " and

confides that she is afraid of Him playing in the four way junctions at the

sandhyA Kaalam

and reasons with Him : " anjuvan Nee angu niRkka AzhaahanE ! Kaappida VaarAy "

..

 

This was followed by the most moving " SenniyOngu " Paasurams of PeriyAzhwAr " ,

where the AzhwAr from SrivilliputthUr celebrates his soubhAgyam :

 

YemmanA ! Yenn Kula dhaivamE ! Yennudai NaayakanE !

NinnuLEnAip-peRRa nanmai ivvulahinil yaar peRuvAr ?

 

Tadavarait-thOL ChakkarapANi ! SaarngaviRc-chEvakanE !

mannadangamazhuvalamkaikkoNDa Iraama Nambhee !

 

Thiruppolintha sEvadi yenn-senniyin mEl poRitthAi

yenRenRum Unn VaachakamE uruppolintha naavinEnanai

Unakku urittthAkkinayE ! Ini YengE pOhinrathE !

 

ThiruppANar's aanandha anubhavam flowed next as " AmalanAdhipirAn "

DolaikkaNNan and Sri RanganAthan inside the Silver Mantapam rsponded with

alacrity to the inspired vision of ThiruppANar :

 

IyaanA , ANiaranganAr aravinaNai-misai-mEya MaayanAr

seyyavAi IyyO ! Yennaic-chinthai kavarnathathuvE !

 

KoNDalvaNnanaik-KOvalanAi VeNNai

uNDa Vaayan , yennuLLam kavarnthAnai

ANDarkOnn ANiyarangan Yenn-amudhinaik-

kaNDa KaNNkaL MaRRonRinaik-kaaNAvE

 

Next resonated the AchArya Bhakthi-laden Paasurams of Madhura Kavi: " KaNNinuNN

siRuthAmpu "

adyEn lingered over the section with the special message to all of us as

error-prone chEtanams

and the redemptive , infinite grace of our Kula Pathi , Swamy NammAzhwAr :

 

payanRAhilum PaangalarAhilum

seyal nanRAhat-thriutthip-paNikoLvAn

--- KuruhUr Nambhee !

 

The three sets (decads) of ThiruvAimozhi Paasurams followed :

 

(1) ANaivathu AravaNai mEl ( TVM: 2.8)

(2) Aazhiyezha Sankham Villumezha ---(TVM : 7.4)

(3) OhRaayiramAy ulahEzhu aLikkum ---( TVM : 9.3)

 

Swamy KumAra Varadhar's PiLlai AndhAthi's twenty paasurams

broke out like flood waters escaping a dam and drenching us

with the blissful anubhavam of AchArya Bhakthi next.

 

The prayer here is :

 

Kaavala ! ThUppul KulattharasE ! Yemmaik-KaattharuLE !

mARAtha ThUppul MaalE ! MaRavEn ini Ninn PaadhamE !

 

SaaRRumuRai , Vaaazhi ThirunAmams , NigamAntha Desikan

MangaLam , Sri AadhivaNN SaThakOpa YathIndhra MahA Desikan

MangaLam followed and all of these concluded with the recitation of

the Tanyan of Prakrutham Srimath Azhagiya Singar .

 

This evening prior to adiyEn's Father's SathamAna Uthsavm concluded thus

in this joyous way . adiyEn retired for the night's rest to prepare for the

eventful

day to follow .
