kuRungudikkEA ennai vuithidumin


nambi is nam-AzhwAr: It is well known that sri vadivazhagia nambi is swAmi 
nam-AzhwAr. Like emperumAnar who became a manifestation of sri parthasarathy, 
magizh-mARan as per the promise of nambi is indeed but nambi and of course it 
is well known that sri emperumAnAr is -mARan adi paNindhu vindhavan .

nam-pAduvAn: The rich cultural heritage including nam-pAduvan,kaisika purANam 
are few more feathers in the crown of nambi.

nature: The nature's beauty cannot be described or narrated. The whole area 
around thirukkuRungudi would be scorching with heat. Reach thirukkuRungudi, the 
clouds would be hanging low and playing with each other. A closer scrutiny 
of"thavaLa iLam piRai" and "akkum puliyin" thiru-mozhi-s,9-5 and 9-6, 
respectively, throughout will reveal this fact more distinctly.

thirumangai mannan's eternal abode: Like AndAL who wanted Herself packed off to 
Lord krishNA- madhuraip purathu ennai vuithidumin, yamunaikk karaikkennai 
vuithidumin, pANdi vadathennai vuithidumin and so on, thirumangai AzhwAr who is 
supposed to have relished and cherished all the divya-dEsam-s longs for 
thirukkuRungudi and desires for this.

Thiru-mozhi 9-5 is replete with his pleas.

'kOla maNi nEr kozhikkum,. kuRungudikkEa ennai vuithidumin"
'kollai vaLar ilai mullai, pulgu kuRungudikkEa ennai vuithidumin'
and so on and so forth.

The final pAsuram is heart rending. 

"thiru-mA-magaLaip peRRum en nenjam kOil koNda" Even after having 
thiru-mA-magaL the great patta magishi, the Lord of thirukkuRungudi resides in 
my heart.
and ultimately kaliyan reaches thirukkuRungudi as his eternal abode.

thirukkuRungudi better than vaikuntham: NO Exaggeration. Edu vyAkyAnam for the 
11th pAsuram of 5-5 :
aRiyak kaRRu vallArgaL : 'aRindhu kaRkaiyAvadhu" sRi vaikuNdathilEA nithya 
sUrigaL naduvEa irukkiRa iruppilum kAttil,guNAdhikyam vuLLadhu ennumidathia 
aRindhu abhyasikka vallargaL'

" What is learning about thirukkuRungudi properly?: To realise that being in 
thirukkuRungudi is better than being in srEvaikuNtam in the company of 
nithya-sUri-s as the auspicious qualities sparkle in thirukkuRungudi. 

guNAdhikyam-saulabhyAdhigaL -arumpadhavurai.

Conclusion: One can go on like this talking about nambi of thirukkuRungudi. 
Smt. SumithrA varadaRajan triggered these thoughts in my mind when she talked 
of divya-dEsam-s as offices of the Lord. Further, there was a feeling that many 
people do not know much about this divya-dEsam. Hence, this gave me an 
opportunity to run through the great vyAkyAnam-s about the great divya-dEsam 
and about the great vadivazhagia nambi. 
no offence meant.
Thank YOu,
Hence,
kUthan imayavar kOne, muRRuLagALi ninRa
