archAvathAram
The Almighty tucks Himself into the
confines of the ArchA veil. Seldom He pierces the veil of the archAvathAram. The
fact that He supports all the jEvAthmAs, He is the omni-potent, the omni-present
is all the more surprising that the Lord descends into the archAvathAram for our
sake. For our upliftment, for our accessibility.
This is what Sri piLLai lOkachAryAr
clearly summarises in the final sUthram of thathvathrayam Eswarap
praharaNam
"swas-swAmi bhAvathai
mARADi kONdu,agjaraip pOlEyum, asaktharaip pOlEyum,a-svathanthraraip pOlEyum,
irukkach seidhEayum, abAra kAruNya paravasanAik koNdu sarvAbEkshidhangaLaiyum
kodutharuLum"
Reversing the role of
supremacy, the Lord resides inside the archAvathAram like an ignorant , like one
who cannot do anything, like one who does not have independance-depending on us.
However, Out of Grace He bestows us all our requirements/
requests."
What a great
magnanimity.
In spite of being restricting Himself into
the archA veil the Lord has in fact, out of boundless mercy and magnanimity has
lifted and pierced the archA veil many a times. Let us go through a few
instances.
When nam-perumAL was on the routine rounds
in the precints of the kOil, the srEvaishNavites who had gathered to discuss His
kalyANa guNangaL dispersed as nam-perumAL approached. The Almighty immediately
declared that if His routine is going to dissolve the expreiences among the
devotees, His procession would stand cancelled.
Sri thiruvENkatamudaiyAn on blessing Sri
gOvindha-swAmy -an ardent devotee- observed lingering attachment, on the
latter's part, worldly pleasures. Hence, He ordained gOvindhaswAmy to
happily fulfill all the pleasures in this world and He shall reach Him
thereafter.
The sacrifices of Sri pEAr aruLaLan of sri
rAmAnujA for the sake of dharisanam is well known. His six divine sermon-ARu vArthai-was the guiding beacon to our
udayavar.
The action of yathOthakArE perumAL is
incomprehnsible in the sense that He rolled out His bed and walked behind Sri
thirumazhisaip pirAN back and forth and got the divine name of 'sonna vaNNam seidha perumAL'
In which class can all these deeds of the
archA Lord who generally does not berak the archA wall- piercing the veil, be
categorised but under the Head -Magnanimity.
