SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest all, Let us continue to enjoy AzhwArs wonderful verses on Thiruvenkatamudiayaan. BhakthAmrutham viswa janAnumodhanam sarvArthatham Sri Satakopa Vaangmayam sahasra SaakOpanishadh samAgamam namAmyaham Draavida Vedha Saagaram Meaning ): adiyEn salutes the ocean of Tamizh Vedam , which is of the form of Sri SaThakOpan's vaak (speech/aruLiccheyalkaL). These are linked to the thousand upanishads and includes in them all the deep meanings (Taathparyams)of Tatthva-Hitha-PurushArthams and artha Panchakam. They are nectar to the minds of the devotees of Sriman NaarAyaNan and they enjoy it with relish as aparyAthAmrutham [insatiable amirtham]. Today?s ThiruvEnkatam verse is: NammAzhwAr?s Thiruvaaymozhi 3.3.2 enthai thanthai thanthai thanthaikkum munthai, vaanavar vaanavar kOnodum, sinthupoo makizum thiruvENG kadatthu, antha milpugazk kaarezil aNNalE. 3.3.2 2. ThiruvEnkadamudaiyaan is the Most Grandest Swami and is the father of my father?s all forefathers?.(when counted to all my past generations); The richest wealth of my kulam is He, who is of blue hued cloudy colour. NitysUris[Anantha, Garuda,Vishvaksenar et al are paying their obeisance to ThiruvEnkatamudaiyaan by offering flowers at His Feet. Traidtions record that when Ramanuja was narrating or reciting this vrese, he had tears rolling down his cheeks and disciplies wondered at the anubhavam of Sribhashyakarar. When enquired, Swami lamented that the flowers at Thirumala are scattered on the ground being wasted ? sindhoo poo? Ananthan PiLLai ?one of his dicplines immediatelt got Acharyan ThiruvULLam and wished to perform nandhavana kaimkaryam at Thirumala and offer flower garlands to Thirumalai Srinivasan. He was called by EmperumAnAr as AaaN PiLLai. Thus, Anandaanpillai being the title given by Emperumanar to his disciple Thirumalai Ananthazhwan when he spontaneously volunteered to take up kainkaryam in Tirumalai. Though nammAzhwAr acknowledges the theory of moksha as enunciated in Upanishads, he lays greater emphasis on the theological concept of moksha as eternal divine service [bhagavath kaimkarya]. This view is predominantly expressed throughout Thiruvaymozhi of NammAzhwAr and also in other prabandhams. piLLan paoints out [for this ten verses] that such a service [kaimkarya] is to be rendered not only at all times; but at all places and in all states. This type of kaimkarya or moksha is the Ultimate Goal [Parama purushartha], because it is made available to jeevathman by the Supreme Lord only in the state of moksha. NammAzhwAr goes to the extent of saying that he would never seek at any time any other thing than the ever lasting divine service.
