Dear srEvaishNavites,
Now that voting has commenced, it is my
fundamental duty to campaign for 'thirukkuRungudi'.
en-nenjinAl nOkkik
kANEr
1. First Going by
Our Philosophy:
Unlike GEthAchAryan of thiruvallikkEANi,
thirukkuRungudi nambi is a rank srEvaishNavite. How? He is a devotee of sri
em-perumAnAr and hence, sri vaishNava nambi. Our basic tenet is to be devotee of
devotees and since vaishNava nambi is a devotee of our devotee -going by
nam-AzhWar's and kaliyan's directions- I think thirukkuRungudi vaishNava nambi
should be ranking top in our list.
2. Going by the
beauty and Perfection: As mentioned in AchArya Hrdhayam, the
immaculate and immense beauty is not on just the features, but is comprehesive.
What does AchArya Hrdhyam say highlighting this
divya-dEsam:
"vaishNava
vAmanathil niRaindha nEla mEaniyin ruchi janaka
vibhava lAvanyam pUrNam" sUthram
162;
The beauty of the Lord attracts the souls
and pushes Him into eternal bliss and helps him in attaining salvation. The
beatuy in this divya-dEsam has attracted both thirumangai mannan and swAmi
nam-AzhwAr undoubtedly.
The blue thirumEani, the ornaments, the
conch and the disc, the four shoulders all fill in the mind of AzhwAr.
"nEla mEanium, nAngum
thOLgaLum en nenjam niRaindhanavEA" 5-5-7 of
thiru-voi-mozhi.
"selginRadhu en
nenjamEa" My heart goes for Him. The Lotus eys, the thirumaru in the
chest, the nectar-fruit mouth,the bow, thaNdu, vAL,the garland,the silk
robes,the throat, long eyebrows,the beautiful nose, the slim
mid-portion-siRRidai and finally
"niRaindha sOdhi
veLLam sUzhndha" The fifth thriu-voi-mozhi of fifth
ten.
Thus, the features and the whole beauty
makes AzhwAr attracted towards Him. If for some people, tbe features are good,
the macro beauty does not match. If the macro beauty is good, the micro is not
pretty. In nambi's case, the beauty is all pervading, the beauty is macro and
micro, the beauty and perfection to the core -niRaindha sodhi
veLLam.
3. Going by the
Impact of the beauty: What is the impact of this beauty? It has made
parAnkusa nAyaki to cross from the threshold of a woman's fortitude and patience
and come out and seek for Him. The mother and women all scold her. She
says
" see from my angle. Step into my shoes.
YOu see from my heart" then you will understand my position. "en nenjinAl nOkkik kAnEr".then you will not be angry at
me. Just by going and standing in front they were scolding her. "munninRAi enRu thozhi
mArgaLum annaiyarum munidhir" The blemishless thirukkuRungudi nambi -vazhuvil kErthi- has attracted AzhwAr.
Thus, the beauty has rocked AzhwAr out of
his composure made him talk in the feminine-prEamathil peN
pEachu- and knocked him out of the inner circle of the decency and
fences. This is retributed by the womanhood around. The justification by the
AzhwAr is " You kindly see the beauty. See these from my angle"
4.Going by the
pAsuram-s: this divya-dEsam not only gives us a desired srEvaishNavic
devotee in nambi, but also makes us a srEvaishNavite. How, those who comprehend
and understand this "enganEYO" thiru-voi-mozhi 5-5 are considered as
srEvaishNavites.
"aRiyak kaRRu
vaLLArgal vaittaNavar Azh kadal sUzh gnAlathuLLEA"
5-5-11.
