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
