Namaha Srimad Vara Vara MunayE

namaha In the kali yuga, bhoomi piratti took avatara as godha devi, daughter of Sri vishnuchittar, periazhvar. Bhoomi piratti took avatara under a tulasi plant in the garden of Sri Vishnuchittar at Srivilliputtur. Sri Parthasarathi emperuman, delivered
the bhagavat geetha to arjuna amidst the warfield and explained the upAya
svaroopam to the world. Sri
BharatAzhvan showed the upEya svaroopam.
Sri Andal nAchiyar without much difficulty explained both these in simple
words in her thiruppAvai. She
started her prabhandam with “nArAyananE namakkE parai tharuvAn” and ended with
“vunakkE nAm AtseivOm maRRainam kAmangal mARRU” Sri Krishna in his vibhavAvatara tried
to uplift the jeevatmas with his great words, the bhagavat geetha but failed to
do the same since even arjuna couldn’t remember the same after sometime. So he was forced to take another
archAvatara as thiruvEnkatamudaiyan to establish the same arthas through
abhinayams (dance posture). We see
today that multimedia presentations and visual graphics spread message more
easily than just theoretical writings.
The same was done by thiruvEnkatamudaiyan. He landed to thirumalai, a place common
to both the nithya sooris and mannulagavAsis (people of this world) and showed
his feet with his right hand (“mAm Ekam charanam vraja”). Again we people liked his beauty and
taking all sorts of boons from him but didn’t understand the inner meaning of
his posture. Then emperuman thought
“Oh! During the bharata yuddha when arjuna wanted to see the vishvaroopa
darisanam I first gave him the divya chakshus (divine eyes) and then only was he
able to rightly see me. Similarly I
have to do something to these mandha jeevatmas to realize the importance of my
posture” What did emperuman do? He decided to come even down only for
the sake of these mandha jeevatmas who feel lazy even to climb the seven
hills. He came to brindAranya
kshetram (brindavanam of archa Krishna) as Krishna. Since he came down by venkatam he is
called venkata Krishnan. Here he
did two extra things. First he gave
darshan with just 2 hands indicating that he was so easily accessible since he
also has only 2 hands like all of us.
Then he held a conch in his right hand. For what? Blowing it like in bharata
yuddha? No since no duriyOdhana or party is going to come to his sannadhi
now. This sanghu is to give jnanam
to innocent people like druva.
Druva was a 7-year kid he did great penance to see the lord. Emperuman came in front of him due to
acharya krupai (Narada was druva’s acharya). But the kid didn’t even know to do
stotra to the lord. So emperuman
touched the cheek of the child with his sankam and gave him the divya
jnanam. We are all kids in front of
the lord like druva who don’t even know to say a single stotra. If we like druva pray, “Oh! Lord adiyen
is so small (innocent/jnana heenan) that adiyen doesn’t even know to sing a
stotra in front of you” emperuman will touch us with the sankam with love and
immediately show his other hand that instructs us to fall to his feet. If we fall to his feet then the adisesha
under emperuman’s feet will show us that our ultimate goal is only
kainkaryam.
So emperuman from thiruvenkatam landed
in thiruvallikeni as Venkatakrishnan showing both his jnana poorthi and beauty
as a warrior (paratva, sowlabhyangal).
Will bhoomi piratti who cried in her nAchiyar thirumozhi to put her under
the divine feet of thiruvenkatamudaiyan “Venkatavarkkennai vidhikkiRReyE” and
did a great mArghazhi nOmbu (“vil peru vizhavu”) to attain krishnAnubhavam miss
the opportunity to enjoy Venkatakrishnan? No, that is why she also took a
archAvataram and landed here as the consort of Parthasarathi emperuman. The divine truth is that in the
vibhavAvatara, Krishna gave importance to Sridevi and neeladevi nAchiyars as
seen earlier but now in archai thirukkalyAnam of Parthasarathi is only with
godha devi (Bhoomi piratti).
Another important aspect in thiruvallikeni is that unlike thirumalai
rukmani piratti gives darshan right at the side of the moolavar here. So we get the purushakAram of piratti
always. So in this temple we can
straightly go to parthasarthi sannadhi without any
hesitation. Since adiyen is enjoying the divine
darshan of Sri rukmani sametha Sri Venkatakrishnan and Sri Andal sametha Sri
Parthasarathi emperuman daily that too in a place named brindAranyan
(brindAvanam) where even today we are able to visualize a number of cows
enjoying with Krishna adiyen added this archAvatara anubhavam in this
series. Though our concentration
from here on will be only on the vibhavAvatara godhA piratti (pattarbiran
kOdhai) who gave the two divine prabhandams ThiruppAvai and Nachiyar thirumozhi
both to establish two important aspects of Srivaishnava
siddhAntham. Azhvar emperumAnAr Jeeyer thiruvadigalE
