“Bow
your head,” instructs the father to the kid. He may be an agnAni
(Ignorant soul) or a staunch Srivaishnavite the blessing of the lord
is equal to all. The archaka places the divine feet of emperuman, the
Sri SaTakOpam on top of all our heads. Why is the divine feet called
as Sri SaTakOpam/Sri satAri? It is to honour the very close devotee
of emperuman, prapanna jana koodasthar, Sri Nammazhvar who longed for
the divine feet of emperuman and sung beautiful paasurams about the
divine lord. The divine prabhandams/paasurams of azhvar (when we say
just azhvar it refers only to nammazhvar in sampradayam) always
reserves a special position in the mind of all Srivaishnavas. He is
the azhvar, who plays a major role in our guru paramparai.
MAmunikal
in his upadesa ratina mAlai says, “namperumal nammAzhvar nanjeeyer
nampillai enbar avar avar thamettraththAl anbudaiyOr sARRu
thirunAmangal tAnendru nannenjE eththadhanai sollu nee endru” –50
[Due to their special greatness namperumal, nammAzhvar, nanjeeyer and
nampillai have been adorned with great love, with the corresponding
names]
What
is special about nammAzhvar?
Azhvar
himself answers this question in his very first paasuram in
thiruvAimozhi – “mayarvaru madhinalam arulinan” [I have been
blessed with unblemished bhakthi and jnana by the lord out of his
mere grace, nirheduka krupai]. So is azhvar not great if emperuman
himself choose azhvar among the infinite number of souls to bestow
his krupai on him? Azhvar was blessed with deep bhakthi and ultimate
knowledge (jnanam kanindha bhakthi) that led azhvar to rise through
steps of parabhakthi, parajnana, and finally reach the ultimate step
of paramabhakthi. So it is foolishness for nAyinEn (the lowest of
the lowest soul) to try to talk the greatness of azhvar. But the
lord cherishes hearing about his devotee even if it is in broken
language filled with ignorance (‘elaiya pun kavidhaiyELum
empirArkku eniyavArE’) . Didn’t the lord question
kambanAttAzhvar if he has sung about azhvar (nam satakoparai
padineerO?) and make him sing the “satakOpar andhAdhi”? It is
the belief of our poorvacharyas that even if we utter the name
“vakulAbharanan” emperuman starts smelling us considering us to
be a close associate/disciple of swamy nammazhvar.
With
whatever has been told till now you all may have jumped to the
concrete conclusion that this posting is going to be purely about the
greatness of Swamy Nammazhvar. But No, adiyen is now going to go one
step higher and talk about a personality who is regarded with greater
esteem even more than nammazhvar himself in our sampradayam.
Who
is that?
He is
none other than the great disciple of nammazhvar, Sri Madurakavi
Azhvar. Again you may all ask me “What is so great about
Madurakavi azhvar? He has sung only 10 paasurams that too not about
the lord”
That
is exactly his greatness. Madurakavi azhvar didn’t sing even a
single paasuram about the lord but sung only about his perumal, swamy
nammazhvar. Anjaneyar tore his chest and showed perumal and piratti
residing inside his heart. Madurakavi azhvar placed nammazhvar
inside his heart and sang, “devu maRRariyEn” In Periya
thiruvandhAdhi nammazhvar challenged the supreme lord, “yan periyan
nee periyai enbhadhanai yAr arivar” It is said that only due to
this paasuram, the prabhandam obtained its name. Azhvar says, “Lets
see who among us is great. You have placed the worlds inside you but
I have kept you inside my heart so now tell me who is great!” or
otherwise,”yAn periyan-nee periyai enbhadhanai yAr arivar” “Iam
great- who knows about your greatness?” If azhvar attained his
greatness by placing emperuman inside his heart then doesn’t
madurakavi azhvar who placed azhvar inside his heart reserves a
higher position?
In
kAnchipuram, nammazhvar is beautifully seated with his right hand
indicating his heart. Elders say that it is the indication as sung
by azhvar in the first paasuram of thiruvaimozhi, “thozhudhu ezhu
en mananE” instructing his mind to fall to the divine feet of
“amarargal adhipathi” devAdhirajan. But do you all know that
madurakavigal is seen in the same posture in one another divya desam?
Where?
Thiruvallikeni
kandEnE!
Thiruvarangath amudhanar in his divine ramanuja
nootrandhAdhi celebrates the existence of all the divya desa
emperuman inside Swamy emperuman’s heart and that swamy happily
residing inside his heart,
“eruppidam
vaikundam vEnkatam mAlirunchOlai ennum poruppidam mAyanukkenbar
nallOr avaithannodum vandhiruppidam mAyan erAmAnusan vandhiruppidam
endhanedhayaththullE thanakkinburavE” (106)
Similarly,
emperuman placed the worlds inside him, nammazhvar placed emperuman
inside him whereas madurakavigal placed nammazhvar inside his heart
and due to the grace on all of us shows where he has hided azhvar
inturn emperuman and all the worlds by indicating towards his heart
in thiruvallikeni (madurakavigal-moolavar). Emperuman cherishes his
existence inside his devotee’s heart (nammazhvar/ramanuja), whereas
nammazhvar/ramanuja cherish living in the hearts of their disciples’
madurakavigal/amudhanar. In our sampradayam “madhurakavi bhavam”
reserves great importance as the acharya is the one who uplifts us
from this samsAram to the divine abode of emperuman. So more than
the emperuman acharyas shower more grace on us and come to our rescue
in the high priority period. Even though elder in age and born in
a high caste madurakavi azhvar’s acharya nishtai is beyond words.
That is why his prabhandam has been given a very special postion
equal to the “nama:” padam in thirumanthram. The same nishtai
was expressed by ananthAzhvan towards swamy emperumAnAr.
MAmunikal
in his arthi prabhandam says, “manniya seer mAran kalai vunavAgap
peRRom; madurakavi sol padiyE nilaiyAga peRRom” So it is highly
essential for each and every Srivaishnava to follow the footsteps of
madurakavi Azhvar.
Earlier
we saw that our elders attribute the existence of nammazhvar in
kanchi with right hand indicating his heart to show that the first
paasuram of thiruvaimozhi being a mangalasasanam to devaperumal.
Then what does madurakavi azhvar’s special posture in
thiruvallikeni indicates? Why is this not seen in the other divya
desams? We will try to find the reasons in the next posting. Till
then let us all place madurakavi azhvar into our hearts and remain in
peace.
In
the previous posting we saw that in thiruvallikeni, the divine abode
of parthasarathi emperuman, Sri Madurakavi Azhvar is found in a
special posture with his right hand indicating to his heart. Let us
now try to analyze a little bit and try to find the probable reasons
for this divine happening.
We
all know that madhurakavi azhvar is the only azhvar who didn’t sing
about any divya desa emperuman but instead choose to sing only about
his acharyan, Swamy Nammazhvar with great enthusiasm. Though his
intent was to sing about his acharyan to all our amazement
madhurakavi azhvar’s “Kanninun ciruthAmbhu” starts with the
following line: “Kanninun ciruthAmbhinAl kattunna panniya
perumAyan” This is a reference to Krishna who did the leelai of
udharabhandanam and made yesodha to tie him with a rope with number
of knots. So confusion arises, towards whom did madhurakavi azhvar
have actual bhakthi and about whom he wanted to sing in his
prabhandam? There is no doubt that madhurakavi azhvar believed his
acharya as god (“devu mattrariyEn”) but he deliberately starts
his prabhandam with the divine episode of Krishna leela to make his
acharya happy. Lakshmana didn’t have a special attachment towards
bharata (he even had a lot of hard feelings for the way Seetha rama
were sent to forest due to kaikEyi’s plot considering bharata to be
part of the plot) but still he talked about bharata while walking
along with Sri Rama on the banks of godavari because he knew very
well that Rama cherished talking about bharata and his greatness.
Similarly here madhurakavi azhvar starts talking about Krishna and
specifically the udharabhandana leela to make his master happy.
Swamy
Nammazhvar in his divine prabhandam “Thiruvaimozhi” started
talking about the paratvam of emperuman. He sang the first padhigam,
then he did a small lecture to all those around in the second
padhigam. When he wanted to sing the third he was reminded about the
sowlabhyam of emperuman so he started singing “paththudai
adiyavarkku eliyavan…” and nammazhvar totally lost himself and
reached a divine state of comma for about six months. Then slowly
azhvar regained his equanimity and continued to sing “paththudai
adiyavarkku eliyavan pirargallukku ariya viththagan malarmagal
virumbum nam arumperal
adigal maththuru kadaivennai kalavinil uravidaiyAppundu eththirum!
UralinOdu enainthirundhEngiya elivE” So the Krishna with the mark
of udharabhandanam is very close to nammazhvar’s heart and hence
that Krishna fills azhvar’s heart but madhurakavi azhvar’s heart
is totally filled with Azhvar. So when madhurakavi azhvar indicates
to his heart it is like asking all of us to have the darshan of
Parthasarathi inside nammazhvar’s heart inside madhurakavi azhvar’s
heart. How do you say that it is only parthasarathi emperuman inside
azhvar’s heart?
Wait
till the next posting to know about the same.
Deep
inside the heart of madhurakavi azhvar stays that emperuman who for
the benefit of all of us today gives darshan in thiruvallikeni, Sri
Parthasarathi emperuman, giving the same darshan to one and all as
cherished by swamy Nammazhvar. Let see some points to substantiate
our view.
First
point- every year on Aadi thiruvonam, jheshtAbhishEkam is done to Sri
Parthasarathi emperuman. On this divine day, Thirumanjanam (divine
bath) is done to emperuman’s svayam thirumeni (after the kavacham,
protective cover over the divine body of emperuman, is removed).
After the divine bath the blessed souls who get the bhakyam to be
present in the temple on that day are allowed to have a close darshan
of the emperuman’s thirumeni. During the darshan the archakas show
us two divine happenings that speak for the sowlabhyam portrayed by
the paramatma. One the udharabhandanam, the mark on the lord’s hip
due to the rope tied by yesodha as a punishment for the mischief
(stealing of butter) done by kutti kannan in gokulam and the second
one that makes all of us who have a special concern to our dear lord
cry, that is the marks on the thirumugam and the divine thiruvadi due
to the arrows of bheeshma that the lord accepted on behalf of arjuna
during the bharata yuddham. The very same lord who did naughty
leelas in gokulam and was scolded with love by yesodha and the other
gopikas later took a strong position in front of the chariot of
arjuna to establish dharma in this world and totally remove adharma.
To show the same to the world today Sri Parthasarathi emperuman, who
is the paratattvam filled with a lot of sowlabhyam gives darshan to
even ignorant souls without any differentiation. Both yesodha and
arjuna had bhakthi towards the lord and hence the lord went to any
extent to overcome their sorrow. So only the bhakthi in our hearts
matter it is not our level of education or wealth. In many divya
desams jhestabhishekam is witnessed only by the archakas but
parthasarathi showers his grace equally on one and all and makes
everyone enjoy, feel and cherish divinity. Let us now come to our
point. How is this related to our subject now?
So we
find the marks of udharabhandanam in the thirumeni of parthasarathi
showing that he is none other than the kutti kannan who resides in
all our minds playing all astonishing leelas at gokulam. Nammazhvar
was a great jnani. He was able to talk in length about the paratvam
of emperuman but what happened when he thought about emperuman’s
sowlabhyam- he lost himself and descended into the state of divine
coma (“paththudai adiyavarkku eliyavan….”). The darshan adiyen
has explained above actually puts each one of us (depending on
individuals anubhavam) to the same state. The darshan of
Parthasarathi’s svayam thirumeni is special and is surprising
(“AscharyamAna sevai”) but probably it is not that sweet
(“bhOkyam”) for the devotees of parthasarathi. Why?
Parthasarathi throughout the year adorns himself with various
thirukolams that makes all our eyes blessed and always stays in our
minds. But on this day it is a darshan for our hearts and not just
the eyes. The lord who stays in the nithya mandalam always hearing
the sama gAnam amidst the caring and loving nithya sooris came down
to this world as Krishna to uplift all of us. He didn’t mind being
punished by a gopi (“edakkai valakkai teriyAdha edaichchi”) nor
did he mind being hit by bheeshma for our benefit. But have we ever
shed atleast a little tears at his feet with bhakthi for what all he
has undergone? How can we just see his wound marks and say it is a
great darshan? What amount of pain the lord has undergone for us
shouldn’t we atleast feel a little for the same? This darshan is
not just for visualizing and enjoying but also to literally drain our
hearts so that even that hard heart sheds a little tears.
Parthasarathi is an embodiment of both beauty (who doesn’t enjoy
the beauty of kannan?) and jnAnam (he is the geethAcharyan).
JheshtAbhisheka sevai is to initiate our thought process in order to
lift us from the level of ignorant souls to souls filled with “jnanam
kanindha bhakthi” so that we all finally land in the divine abode
of emperuman and attain the mokshAnandam. Don’t forget that “mAm
ekam sharanam vraja….. mokshaishyAmi” is the words of this very
lord. The moolavar stills gives darshan with the divine panchajanyam
in one hand and the varada mudra (showing his divine feet) on the
other. So whomever falls to the feet of parthasarathi are surely
assured to reach his divine abode.
[Sorry
Bhakthas- whenever adiyen starts talking about parthasarathi adiyen
is unable to control myself. So now let us proceed back to the
subject]
Coming to the udharabhandana episode, all of you
know the story of Krishna being tied by yesodha with the rope with
number of knots. Each time she tried there was a shortage (two
angulams, jnana and bhakthi say our acharyas). After trying for
sometime yesodha got tired and retired with pain. Not being able to
see the sad state of his mother kutti kannan made himself to be tied
by the rope that is what madhurakavi azhvar says as “kattunna
panniya perumAyan”. So it is now clear that the ‘perumAyan’
told by madhurakavi azhvar is none other than “paththudaiadiyavarkku
eliyavan..” praised by Swamy Nammazhvar and he is none other than
our dear Parthasarathi giving divine darshan in thiruvallikeni.
While
it is a painful darshan for devotees it is a darshan that shows that
emperuman is still trying his level best to uplift souls atleast by
dissolving hard hearts with his sad story. Nowadays it is a trend in
politics to win election due to sympathy votes probably that was
learnt by them only from our dear parthasarathi. But we are all
strong enough not to give up even on seeing him with full of wounds
accepted for the sake of devotees (‘vudalenakku vurugumAlO!’).
Should adiyen admire emperuman’s krupai as amazing or our strength
to be so hard as amazing!
We
will see more in the next posting
Continuing
with the divine anubhavam of swamy Nammazhvar, azhvar adds more
adjectives to “paththudai adiyavarkku eliyavan” as “malarmagal
virumbhum nam arumperaladigal”
Who is that? Peyazhvar answers this question,
“
endhai oruvalli thAmaraiyAl ondriya seer mArban
thiruvallikeni yAn sendru”
In
both the paasurams ‘malarmagal’
and ‘thAmaraiyAl’
refer to Sridevi. Emperuman is sriyapathi. Sridevi nAchiyar with
great love towards the lord (virumbhum) seated herself on the lord’s
divine chest (ondriya). So it is been clearly proved that the
bhakthavatsalan talked about by nammazhvar is none other than our
dear parthasarathi with the mark of udharabhandayam on the hip and
Sridevi nAchiyar on his chest.
Nammazhvar
has requested and cried for the divine darshan of lord Krishna as the
geethacharyan, Parthasarathi in many places. Let us see one such
example now.
“teerpAraiyAm
eni enganum nAdudum! Annaimeer!
OrpAl
evvaNNudal uttra nal nOyidhu tErinOm
PorpAguthAn
seidhu andraivarai vel viththa * mAyatErp
PAganArkku
eval sindhai tuzhAi disaikkindradE”
The above paasuram clearly shows that parankusa
nAyaki (swamy nammazhvar) has lost his heart to that divine
charioteer who did all amazing things and made the pancha pAndavas
victorious in the bharatha war. Is there necessity for any other
proof to substantiate the love and devotion azhvar had towards our
dear Parthasarathi? But in the vyakhyanam to the above paasuram it
has been stated that azhvar here refers to the vibhavAvathAra
Krishnan. First of all, emperuman took archavatArams only for those
who have missed the opportunity to have darshan during the
vibhavAvatArams. So there is no difference between the vibhava lord
and the lord in archai. Secondly, if we think a little deeper then
we will actually feel sorry for nammazhvar who was unfortunate. Why
because he took avatara just after the krishnAvatAram and hence
missed the darshan and after crying to have the darshan of the lord
he ascended to the divine abode even before parthasarathi came down
to thiruvallikeni from thirumalai. So azhvar missed both the
darshans being born in the intermediate period and hence was unable
to enjoy the divya leelas of kannan both in vibhavam and in archai.
In Periya thiruvandhAdhi, azhvar challenged emperuman stating “yAn
periyan nee periyai enbhadhanai yAr arivAr”. Since azhvar had got
emperuman into his heart he considered himself great but actual
‘periyan’ is we all who are blessed to have the divine darshan of
Parthasarathi and his leelas today. Aren’t we blessed to have the
divine darshan of madhurakavi azhvar indicating to his heart where we
find nammazhvar who had placed our dear Parthasarathi inside and the
very same Parthasarathi in archai doing all sorts of leelas in front
of us simultaneously? What a wonderful darshan he gives us all in
various thirukOlams ‘DinE DinE navam navam’ ‘nam kannai vittru
agandridAdu kaliyan Anai AnaiyE”
madhurakavi
azhvar started his prabhandam undoubtedly with the mangalAsAsanams to
our dear Parthasarathi being close to his acharyan Nammazhvar’s
heart but that was not his motto. madhurakavi azhvar considered only
his acharya as his god and hence surely he wanted to show that his
acharya had a stand higher than even parthasarathi. That is due to
his acharya nishtai that is celebrated by all Srivaishnavas
(emperuman himself) even today as ‘Madurakavi bhAvam’. In the
8th
paasuram madhurakavi azhvar says,
“arul
kondAdum adiyavar enbura
arulinAn
avvarumaraiyin porul
arulkondu
Ayiram enthamizh pAdinAn
arulkandeer
evvulaginil mikkadE”
Here
madhurakavi azhvar once again talks about our dear Geethacharyan.
Emperuman Sri Parthasarathi due to his bhakthavatsalyam for the joy
of all his devotees gave the essence of all the Vedas in a single
bhagavat geetha with 700 slokas. Though it is a concise one it is in
Sanskrit and not that easy for all to understand and practice. So
azhvar due to his ultimate grace on one and all sang the 1000 sweet
and lucid tamil paasurams so that everyone can understand, cherish
and get benefited. What a divine grace!
A
comparison arises only when two people are related in some manner.
Here madhurakavi azhvar compares the grace of Nammazhvar to that of
our dear Parthasarathi to show that the grace of his acharya is even
greater than the lord who his acharya considers to be full of grace.
That is acharya nishtai. There is a legend in our sampradayam where
erumbiappa, one of the ashtadiggajas of Swamy manavala mAmunikal once
carried mAmunikal’s thiruvArAdhana perumal in one hand and swamy
mAmunikal’s divine padhuka in the other. Swamy mAmunikal on seeing
this criticized the act to be insulting emperuman. But at that time
erumbiappa replied, “My perumal (acharya pAdhukai) is never lesser
in greatness to your perumal (emperuman)” Such was the acharya
bhakthi of our poorvacharyas. Such high devotion towards the acharya
was initiated by madhurakavi azhvar but it is not that he didn’t
realize the greatness of emperuman close to his acharya’s heart
that is why though we say his prabhandam is fully about Swamy
Nammazhvar we are able to spot two instances where madhurakavi azhvar
has sung about our dear Parthasarathi who was surely inside
madhurakavi azhvar’s heart though indirectly (madhurakavi azhvar’s
heart-Nammazhvar; Nammazhvar’s heart-Parthasarathi emperuman so
Parthasarathi also stays inside madhurakavi azhvar’s heart) So from
the above it is very clear why madhurakavi azhvar gives special
darshan in thiruvallikeni alone indicating to his heart. It is just
to make us all amazed by seeing the very same emperuman once
visualized by nammazhvar in his heart straight in front of us in
archa roopam.
Next
posting will be the concluding posting.
This
being the concluding posting of this series it is adiyen’s humble
request to all bhagavatas to please consider this as adiyen’s
personal anubhavam and no insult or nothing against the poorvacharya
anubhavams/vyakhyanams is intended. It is adiyen’s involvement
towards Parthasarathi and thiruvallikeni divya desam that had made
adiyen write such a series. There may be many places not acceptable
to many but still let this be considered as just one other anubhavam
of an ignorant soul blabbering something (“neesanEn niraiondrumilEn
en kan pAsam vaiththa paramsudar jOdhikkE” “elaiya pun
kavidhaiyElum empirArkku eniyavArE”). Right or wrong adiyen is
sure that this series will be enjoyable to both Parthasarathi
emperuman and all his devotees. What else to say other than his
divine grace (nirheduka krupai) that had made the lowest of the
lowest jeevatma like adiyen to write a few words about emperuman and
his greatness.
We
will conclude this series just spotting one great occasion to add to
our anubhavam. In the previous posting we saw that madhurakavi
azhvar had indirectly did mangalasasanams to our dear Parthasarathi.
Do you know how sArathi honours madhurakavi azhvar for the same? It
is only on the avarthAra dinam of madhurakavi azhvar, chittiraiyil
chittirai does parathasarathi start his grand yearly brahmotsavam.
It is like sArathi celebrating the divine avataram of madhurakavi
azhvar to show the greatness of an acharya to this world for 10 days.
And on top of all this on that day parthasarathi gives divine
darshan to madhurakavi azhvar in the ‘pinna kalai vAhanam’ as
kutti kannan with a flute in hand. Just for all your information
there is one another similar happening in thiruvallikeni when
Narasimhan/Azhagiya singan during his brahmotsavam honours periazhvar
(on Ani swathi). Periazhvar did mangalasasanams to narasimhan in his
very first prabhandam thiruppallAndu as “andhiyam pOdhil
ariyuruvAgi ariyai azhiththavanai pandhanai teera pallAndu
pallAyiraththAndendru pAdudhumE”.
[Blessed were the souls who witnessed the divine
sevai of periazhvar on a small yanai vahanam doing mangalAsAsanams to
azhagiya singan on top of garudan this year.]
There
is no end to adiyen’s anubhavams with parthasarathi/thiruvallikeni
but a great fear in adiyen’s mind keeps on asking me to put a stop
to writing more and more. Will not “evil eyes” fall on my dear
parthasarathi? So due to that fear of kandrishti adiyen is concluding
for now. Adiyen’s humble request to all the bhagavatas to do
mangalAsAsanams to thiruvallikeni and all emperumans over there
including all the azhvars and acharyas under the divine service of
the lord in archa roopam. Adiyen’s fear increases due to the
recent disheartening incidents in thirumala. Thirumalai by itself
is considered very sacred by our poorvacharyas “malaiyE
thiruvudambu” swamy emperumAnAr hesitated even to put his feet on
the thirumalai though he himself was seshAvataram. But that divine
place is in a very sad state today. AnanthAzhvan, was a very close
disciple of emperumanar who practiced madurakavi bhavam to the
maximum extent. That is why people in his lineage still call
themselves as ‘madurakavi dasan’. AnanthAzhvan considered the
kainkaryam allotted to him by his acharya as more important even to
the bhagavat sevai. He considered even the ants in thirumalai to be
some nithya soori. Kulasekara perumal wanted a birth atleast as a
step in thirumalai “padiyAi kidandhu vun pavalavAi kAnbEnE”
“emperumAN pon malai mEl edEnum AvEnE” We even today call the
divine step near the emperuman sannadhi only as “kulasekaran padi”
Amidst all these greatness how come such atrocities are going on in
thirumalai? How are we Srivaishnavas still keeping quiet taking care
of just our personal needs? Will we keep quiet if our father is in
danger, if his place is blasted with bombs? Unfortunate vandalism has
struck that divine place held so close to the hearts of azhvars and
acharyas. In thiruvaimozhi, azhvar choose only thirumalai padhigam
to deliver the dvayArtham to all (“ozhivil kAlamellam” and
“vulagamunda peruvAyA”). The same thiruvenkatamudaiyan came down
to thiruvallikeni as venkata Krishnan to explain the charama
slokArtham to one and all not just by words but also with his divine
darshan (his thirumeni talks the divine rahasyam). Emperuman came
down for all our welfare but hope the virus of scandalling of
emperuman’s property doesn’t descend not only to thiruvallikeni
but also to any other divya desam.
Let
us all join together and sing mangalAsAsanam especially to
thirumalai/thiruvenkatamudaiyan (undergoing such pain today),
thiruvallikeni/Parthasarathi and to all the emperumans at all the
divya desams. May the lords stay amidst the crowd of devotees who
love and care for the lord. May commercialization and selfishness
not enter the divya desams and Srivaishnava community and spoil the
divine atmosphere.
