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.

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. 

Let us enjoy these verses now.. in this decad
