Dear All,

A walk along the beach with a nice treat of cold moon light and gentle breeze 
is something anyone would like. Thirumangai Azhwar did not like this ambienece. 
Instead, he felt the other way. He felt that the moon light was like fire. The 
breeze was something that was actually fuelling this impact with its force on 
the beach side. This was the expereince of Parakala Nayaki in the absence of 
her lover, Nambi. She felt that she was not blessed by Nambi, and hence 
requested everyone to carry and put her in Thirukkurungudi, where she believed 
she could get Moksham. Here is the beautiful pasuram of Thirumangai Azhwar in 
Periya Thirumozhi,

thavaLa iLampiRai thuLLumunNnNIrth thaNmalarth theNnRalO daNnRiloNnRith 
thuvaLa,eNn Nnenchagam chOravIrum choozhpaNni nNaaLthuyi laadhiruppENn, 
ivaLumOr peNkodi yeNnRiraNGgaar eNnNnala mainNdhumuNn koNdupONna kuvaLai 
malarnNiRa vaNNarmaNnNnu kuRuNGgudik kEyeNnNnai yuyththidumiNn

Azhwar proudly says that he knows completely about this Perumal. If we look at 
this fact, we would not be surprised. The reason is very simple. Vedanta tried 
by itself to completely talk about Nambi, and hence failed. Where as Azhwar was 
able to completely talk about Nambi because Azhwar did not make an attempt, 
instead Nambi made Azhwar to talk about Him. Azhwar called Nambi by the name 
Perarulalan. He says that Nambi had so much of vAtsalyam that He decided to 
live permenantly in Azhwar?s heart. Nambi?s heart in turn is adorned by 
Thirumagal (Thayar). 

ceRRavaNn theNnNnilaNG kaimalaNGgath thEvar_pi raaNnthiru maamagaLaip 
peRRum,eNn nNenchagam kOyilkoNda pEraru LaaLaNn perumaipEchak kaRRavaNn, 
kaamaru chIrkkaliyaNn kaNNagath thummaNnath thumagalaak koRRavaNn, muRRula 
kaaLinNiNnRa kuRuNGgudik kEyeNnNnai uyththidumiNn

In the next 10 pasurams, Azhwar refers to Shivan here. The unique speciality of 
Kaliyan is the combined anubhavam of archai, vibhavam, puranam and Divya Desam 
itself. Here is the first pasuram in this pathigam,

akkum puliyiNn adhaLum udaiyaar avaroruvar, pakkam nNiRka nNiNnRa paNbar 
oor_pOlum thakka maraththiNn thaazhchiNnai yERi, thaayvaayil kokkiNn piLLai 
veLLiRa vuNNum kuRuNGgudiyE



He calls Shivan as Pakkam Nindrar. Shivan requested Perumal during Vamana 
avataram to give him a place beside Him after getting sanctified by the Hari 
Padha Theertham. Vamanan lived in this place in a small hut. That is why this 
place is called Thirukkurungudi and also as Siddhashramam in sanskrit.

Azhwar refers to the relationship of protector and protected in this pasuram. 
Even the crane here is protecting its child. That is the beauty of Divya Desam. 
From the lives in Divya Desam we can make out that the One who is here as Nambi 
will protect all of us.

If we can recite the above 10 pasurams starting from akkum puliyum even with 
out any attempt to worship or know about Nambi, still all our sins will get 
burnt by Nambi. Azhwar claims that he has sung these pasurams just in line with 
vedanta. 

In summary, we have seen that Nambi is the one and only Perumal who has got 
direct sambandham with ?Parankusa-Parakal-Yativarar. Because of His Grace, 
NamPaduvan, a bhakta born in lower caste got Moksham. Today happens to be 
Kaisika Ekadasi. He is also the only archai Perumal to house all HIs states of 
existance. 

This Nambi was the One who listened to ghAnam of Araiyars by hiding behind the 
shade of avarai kodi,

?valar araiayr thiru munbhu avarai pandhal nizhalil nindru van ghAnam ketta 
Perumal?

Araiyars used ot live in a street called BahshyakAra street. In the present 
days, araiyars from Srivilliputtur visit Thirukkurungudi.

?solai suzh Nambikku mangalam, andar konum aranum adivaravum Nambikku mangalam, 
Krungudi nindra Nambiku mangalam? 

aDiyEn requests all the BhAgavatAs to visit Nambi whenever possible. Words are 
not enough to describe His beauty. Beauty is very comprehendable by just the 
darshan.  Unlike Badri, where we cant get in the stage of 'mutramoothu kol 
thunai and thandukAlAl oondri oondri, we all can visit Then Badri (South Badri, 
Thirukkurungudi) at any stage of life.

 

aDiyEn apologises for any errors in this series.

aDiyEn rAmAnuja dAsan,

ramanan
