SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya nama: Dearest all, Kulasekara PerumAL sang such wonderful verses on Lord Sri Ranganathan in the last decad. His intense longing for seeing, and enjoying the Lord of Srirangam was explicit in the verses. He not only stops with Bhagavad Vishayam. Now He longs to associate himself with the BhAgawathAs; and declares his explicit love and reverence for the bhAgawathas. thEttarumthiRal thEninaiththen Nnaranganaitthiru maadhuvaazh vaattamilvana maalaimaarvanai vaazhththimaalkoLsin^ thaiyaraay aattamEvi yalanthazhaiththayar veythummeyyadi yaar_kaLtham eettamkaNdidak koodumElathu kaaNumkaNpaya NnaavathE 2.1 The sweetest and dearest Lord, who is to be attained only with the effort from chEthanan; The One who grants all that is good to His devotees who enjoy His dhivya mangaLa vigraham and His kalyANa guNams; who is Parama bhOgyam like the tasty honey; who always resides in Srirangam (having nithya vaasam); who has such a strong divine chest with the most beautiful Vanamaali and where His divine consort resides eternally; - Such most wonderful Lord Sri Ranganathan is sung and praised with all mangalaasaasanams by the ardent devotees of the Lord of Srirangam. Thse bhAgwathas love Him so deeply and dance singing His glories. They get exhausted and their mouths keep uttering His divine names continuously forgetting their own selves completely. Such truthful devotees, bhAgawathas ? if only I am blessed to see this glorious congregations of these bhAgawathas, then that is the fruit for having these eyes, I would say. The Lord declares that His devotees are the most dearest to Him; They are His life breath; teshaam jnaani nitya-yukta eka-bhaktir visisyate priyo hi jnanino 'tyartham aham sa ca mama priyah [Bh. Gita 7.17] Of these, the one who is in full knowledge and who is always engaged in pure devotional service is the best. For I am very dear to him, and he is dear to Me. Nammaazhwaar, Thirumangai AzhwAr, ThoNdaradippodi AzhwAr and other AzhwArs / Acharyas have sung in praise of bhAgwathas and have categorically expressed and conveyed that serving bhAgwathas is more pleasing to the Lord than serving Him. In fact the kaashtai (ultimate) of the kainkaryam is BhAgawatha kaimkaryam. Since Acharya is the most dearest to Bhagawaan, serving one?s acharyan is also termed BhAgawatha kaimkaryam.
