Srimathe ramanujaya Namaha
Dear Sri Padmanabhan swamy,
Thanks for the nice piece of
anubhavam.
Why Thiruvallikeni? was
your question.
1) If it has to be explained with practical
reasoning. Thiruvallikeni is a divya desam which is in the heart of a
major city. So there is a high probability for even a person who has
little knowledge about temple and perumal to utter this name (or atleast in a
modified form as triplicane). To be frank in today's sad state even those
who call themselves srivaishnavas are not aware of dd's like Thirukurungudi,
Thirumoozhikalam etc so where is the chance of other lowkikas to utter such
names.
2) Consider adiyen as a normal lady. Then, it
is well known to all, that girls (especially after marriage) have a special
affection towards their parent's place. They may have it always but they
tend to show it more explicitly after marriage. So you may call it a
"porandhAththu paRRu" So adiyen wants to hear the name "Thiruvallikeni" from the
mouths of one and all and be filled with joy. When it is the case for a
girl who has come from some village not well known what to say about adiyen who
has come from a DD that too adorned by our dear kaliyan as "oppavarillA
mAdhargal vAzhum mAda mAmayilai thiruvallikeni" Is there anything wrong
in adiyen being filled with sAtvika ahankaram?
3) Considering all jeevatmas to be stri prAyargal
and emperuman alone to be the purushOtaman we are all wedded to emperuman
through our acharya. Though all jeevatmas have a similarity in
jnanam still we are all different and hence we have different tastes not
only in lowkika vishayams but also in choosing our Ishta deivam (Here adiyen is
not talking about choosing different devatas but difference in abimanams of
different bhagavatas with different divya desa emperumans). Have you ever
questioned thondaradipodi azhvar why he sung only about thiruarangam? Kulasekara
perumal says, "kondAnai allA ariyA kulamagal pOl" (adiyen was fortunate to chant
perumal thirumozhi today, the day in which our dear chakravarthi thirumagan
would have undergone jhestAbhishEkam along with his family "bharadhanum tambi
chatrukkananum elakkumanOdu maidhiliyum" in thiruvallikeni). So a wife
prefers to hear the praise of her husband and her husband's place even though
she knows that there are other places that exists equal to or even greater
than that place.
You may question if only Thiruvallikeni is
emperuman's divya stAnam? "porul allAdha ennai porulAki adimai konda"
edam aduvE andrO? Emperuman blessed adiyen with a birth over there and
made adiyen enjoy all his divya darisanams and of all things though our
acharyan's place is vanamamalai it was parthasarathi's wish to celebrate
adiyen's samasrayanam only under his divine feet in thiruvallikeni. To add more
after a few years of separation parthasarathi has decided finally to get
adiyongal back to thiruvallikeni. We pray to all bhagavatas to bless us
with all your mangalasasanams for us to shift our residence to
thiruvallikeni for ever. So how much ever times adiyen utters the name
"Thiruvallikeni" it remains "appodaikku appOdu ArA amudhu" in
adiyen's mouth. For whatever thiruvallikeni and parthasarathi has given
adiyen "talaiallAl kaimArilEnE"
Note: Take the case of a prime minister. In his
office he will be amidst tight security even his wife has to get
permission from the security persons to meet him but while at home he may
be close and affectionate with his family members without any
pressure taking atmost care of them with love. Which will the wife
prefer her husband with so many people always around him and he being always
busy or he peacefully enjoying with her and the other family members? According
to adiyen thiruvallikeni is like the home of emperuman where he enjoys along
with all his family members (his bhakthas) and other divya desams are his
offices (he is a big business magnet with number of offices to capture maximum
profit-jeevatmas)
All mistakes due to adiyen's
ignorance may please be pardoned.
