Dear All,

Pranams!

With the Grace of Acharyan HH Kaliyan Vanamamalai Ramanuja Jeeyar Swami, aDiyEn 
attempts to write on a beautiful Divya Desa Peruamal.

SriyaPathi is the One who cannot be completely matched by anyone else in all 
His Kalyana gunams. He is the origin and end of all the creation. He is very 
different from us, etc?..

Azhwar?s Srisookthis (Tamizh Vedam) and the Vedas talk about all the above 
attributes and also His five states of existance. We have worshipped many 
Archavatara Perumals. Though He has shown His qualties of Sowlabyam and 
Sousheelyam in His avatarams, He never fails to prove His Swamitvam in His 
archa form. Swami Koorathazhwan has beautifully highlighted this fact in his 
Varadaraja Stavam. Following is what he says to Devadhirajan,

? Oh Varada, you know what? Your intention of showing your sowlabyam in playing 
with us is well known by us with the fact that you descended from SriVaikuntam 
to Hasthigiri. You have forgotten about something that clearly proves your 
Swamitvam. You forgot to leave your Kreetam (crown) in SriVaikuntam. The 
darshan of your Kreetam clearly proves that you are the Swamy of this enitre 
Universe.?

Rangathan is the master of all the Divya Desams. Hence all the Perumals report 
to Him every day. He also is the commander in our Sampradayam, as He took Swami 
Ramanujar at the right time from Thirukkaachhi. ThiruVenkatamudayan is the One 
who stands in between our place and the place of Nityasuris to enable both the 
kind of bhaktas to have His darshan. Hence, His place is also not solely for us.

This Perumal did not choose a place as Ranaganathan did for His bhOgam. He did 
not want to stand on a hill to enable special access for us, who are caught in 
samsara. This Perumal is not known by a vibhavam or archai alone. He is known 
by combining both in His name. 

More than anything else, this Perumal is very similar to us in one aspect. He 
is also in samsara like us, and like many of us, He has left His home town 
(SriVaikuntam) and migrated to a city. Unlike other Perumals, this Perumal 
stands with just two shoulders to make us feel more comfortable (sowlabyam to 
hide even His Swamitvam for souls in samsara).

Who is this Perumal? What is His vaibhavam? What is the name of the Divya 
Desam? What is the special connection to our Azhwar and Acharya Goshti?

Let us enjoy the answers to these questions in this series ?Samsaric Perumal?

aDiyEn,

ramanan
