GodhAm udhArAm
sthuma: ( Let us eulogize the Generous GodhA )
Dear
BhakthAs of GodhA PirAtti :
The detailed anubhavam of Godha Sthuthi is
archived at :
under Desikan SthOthrams link
.
In this short series , we shall
highlight some specail words and passages
from
the individual slOkams
of GodhA Sthuthi of Swamy Desikan .
adiyEn invites you all to join in the
Mutthangi Kaimkaryam on Aadi Pooram
day ( Aug 8) and the
NaachiyAr Thirumozhi
Dance drama on Aug 3 at
SrivilliputthUr
.
The Mutthangi for Sri RangamannAr and
GarudAmsar , PeriyAzhwAr are
being readied and it will take few
weeks beyond Aug 8 to complete those
Mutthangis . It is intricate work and
there are not enough experts to rush
all the three Mutthangis at the same
time so that they can all be ready on Aug 8.
We have therefore chosen to focus on
completion of the Mutthangi for
ANDAL first so that we can realize our
wish to make the samarpaNam to
ANDAL on Her birthday .
Prayer to HH The 26th Pattam Azhagiya
Singar

SriranganAtha YathIndhra MahA Desikan
is revered as an avathAram of ANDAL of
SrivilliputthUr . Let us recite His

GodhA Sthuthi :

This
Azhagiya Singar (26th Pattam )is the son of HH the 25th Pattam
Azhagiya
Singar , the GarudAmsar ( PeriyAzhwAr )
.
Godha
Sthuthi Metres
****************************
The first
27 slOkams are set in Vasantha Tilakaa metre
and the
last two are set in Maalini metre . This sthuthi is thus
like a
garland ( Maalai ) strung from the flowers that blossomed
in the
Vasantha Ruthu (Spring season ) and stays as a
Tilakam
on the
forehead of Lord RanganAtha .
GodhA Sthuthi SlOkam

**********************************
At the very
outset , Swamy Desikan performs SaraNAgathy at
the sacred feet of GodhA as one , who
has no other means
( Godhaam
ananya SaraNa; SaraNam PrapadhyE ) . Swamy Desikan
celebrates GodhA as another avathAram
of Periya PirAtti based on
Her kalyANa guNam of KaaruNyam ( KaruNayA anyAm
KamalAm iva ).
Swamy recognizes Her also
as the
embodiment of the virtue of patience
and equates
Her on that basis with BhUmi Devi ( SaakshAth KshamAm )
.
Swamy Desikan gives two
more particulars about His SaraNya dhaivam,
ANDAL :
1. She is like the boon
granting Kalpaka creeper in the garden ( Kulam ) of
PeriyAzhwAr ( SrI VishNuchittha Kulanandhana Kalpavalli )
.
2. This Kalpaka creeper
can not stand by itself . It embraces therefore
a Harichandana Vruksham
found next to it in the garden of PeriyAzhwAr .
adiyEn surrenders to that
KalpakA creeper embracing Lord RanganAtha
( Sri RangarAja Harichandhana yOga dhrusyAm , Sri
VishNuchittha
kula
Nandhana kalpavallem GodhAm ananya SaraNa: SaraNam PrapadhyE )
.
