Dear BhakthAs :

For few months now , both Dr.Murali Rangaswamy
and myself have been releasing one slOkam a day 
of the powerful kaavyam of Swamy Desikan
eulogizing the PaadhukAs of SrI RanganAtha ,
which are Swamy NammAzhwAr .

We have to cover the rest of the 89 slOkams 
before Purattasi SravaNam  this year to reach
Kaimkarya Poorthy stage .

Those BhakthAs interested in recieving these 
postings on the Paadhukais of Lord RanganAtha ,
the SRI RANGA SRI  are requested to contact me .

There is an excellent a web site created by
SrI Achutharaman of Bangalore especially for 
SrI RanganAtha PaadhukA Sahasram . Please let me 
know if you need the URL for those web pages 
containing the postings on the 480 of the 1008 slOkams 
sofar . 

SrI MadhavakkaNNan of Singapore has also housed 
these postings in Swamy Desikan Home pages maintained 
by him and SrI AchutharAman . 

May the auspicious dhvani of the Lord's Padhukais
sound in your homes !

NamO SrI RanganAthAya 
Daasan , V.Sadagopan

> 1) Anubhavam of UthtamUr  Swamy : This type of chithrA poetry 
> is known as " PaadhAnuloma prathilOmam " . This is also a kind of 
> yamakam. If one considers this slOkam to be made of four quadrants,
> the first two quadrants  have a mirror image effect ; so does the 
> third and the fourth quadrant .The first quadrant " 
> RaamapadhagathAbhAsA " is an exact mirror image 
> of "saabhAdhagadhapAmarA". If we start reading   from right to left , 
> we get exactly the first quadrant. The same situation prevails with 
> the third and the fourth quadrant. There is coherent meaning conveyed 
> thru the two quarants of the first and second pAdhams as mirror image 
> inspite of the clever structuring  of the individual paadhAs.
> For developing the meaning , the verse has to be split in to the 
> following prose order : " Raama paadha gathA , bhasA , Saa paadhA, 
> aagatha paamara, gath upa , ananjakAsahyaa, hi, aasa , kaanchana 
> paadhukA". 
>  
> 1) Meaning according to UtthamUr  Swamy' : The golden paadhukAs that 
> reached RaamA's feet have movement marked by their brilliant lustre; 
> through that lustre, they protect the DevAs from any illness or 
> calamities and are foes to those, who are   disrespectful to them . 
> They are indeed the reasons for the protection of the Raajya Lakshmi 
> of the kingdom of Raghus, when Raama was away for fourteen years.
>  
> 2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:The golden Paadhukais of Lord 
> RanganAthan have (1) Aasritha soulabhyam with the Lord and therefore 
> arrived in BhU Lokam from Brahma Lokam with the Lord (2) have power 
> to remove all aathma vyAdhis and external enemies/bhAhya Chathrus (3) 
> have power to burn even Sooryan through its tEjas. Thus they have 
> Soulabhyam , Daya and tEjas like their Lord . That empowered 
> them to rule over AyOdhya as the representative of their Lord during 
> His exile .
>  
> 3) The PaadhukAs have attained RaamA's sacred feet ( Raama paadha 
> gatha). They  arrived at SrIrangam with SrIranga VimAnam from 
> BrahmA's abode of Sathya lOkam ( Kaath upAnanja ). This story is well 
> known ( BhAthA aasa hi ) from SrIranga MahAthmyam   The PaadhukAs 
> have the tejas that will even burn the Sooryan ( Kaa asahyA ) . Kaa 
> means Brahma , Sooryan and the Lord as well .They remove the diseases 
> of the mind of the DevAs ( agadhapA= gadham+ pa+a;Gadham is illness ; 
> Paa means to protect and "a" means does not have  ) . The ones who 
> have protection from illness are the DevAs due to the anugraham of 
> the paadhukAs . Linked together , " agadhapA: amarA :" results. These 
> illnesses are : ahankAra , MamakArams as Aathma vyAdhis.
