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.
