SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesikamahadesikaya namah: Dearest Srivaishnavas, Let us continue to enjoy PeyAzhwAr?s wonderful anubhavams on ThiruvEnkatam. Today?s and concluding verse on ThiruvEnkatam is the 89th verse. mudintha pozuthil kuRavaaNar, Enam padinthuzusaal painthinaikaL vittha, - thadinthezuntha vEyngazaipOy viNthiRakkum vEngadamE, mElorun^aaL theenguzalvaay vaitthaan silambu. 89 A wonderful verse again! The old gypsy folks residing in ThiruvEnkatam mountain, who are in their evening of their lives; being unable to perform their daily routine of planting seeds, growing them and harvesting etc.. and hence do not do full justice to their work and try doing slowly or nothing at all. The boars loitering there in the forests of ThiruvEnkatam walk, run, loiter and tear open with their horns, these fields and even cut these bamboo trees and branches? And then the cut bamboo branches also start to grow and touch the skies on top of this ThiruvEnkatam mountain where the little KaNNan [Kutti KaNNan] who has played so beautifully the bamboo (flute) in His mouth. A little vague it appears? First it says: old folks are tired and are not bale to grow the seeds. The boars with their strengths run and go on rampage and break, cut all the trees and plants.. Next line it says, in spite of that, though the field is kind of ploughed, bamboos cut and destroyed by these boars, the bamboos started to grow on this mountain and touch the skies. What does it imply? Poorvars say: It is like a jeevan being unable to perform the ceaseless meditation and dhyAnam i.e. the bhakti yoga thourgh Karma, jnAna yoga and hence declares his helplessness [aakinchanyam] and raises his hand to ThiruvEnkatamudaiyaan performing a small [but grandest] deed of Saranagathi [when it is able]. The boars (meaning Varaaha who had promised that he would personally come and take care of those who have performed Saranagathi and take them to His abode] help the gypsies and cuts and crushes the karma vaasanaas ; destroys the same and thereby everything is clean. What does it mean to mention- again it started to grow. This is none other than Utthara kruthyaaa. What to do after performance of Saranagathi? One should not just say: I have performed Prapatti [Saranagathi] and hence I should not do any thing else- no Sandhuyavandhanam, no kaimkaryam, no nithya karma, no naimittika karma etc.. All should again grow to the same extent with a different heights (of Bhagavath preethyarttham, and for all His pleasure and that would touch Him (the skies). This is what is implied here. Let us reflect upon the assurance given by Sri Varaaha Swamin to BhUmi PiraaTTi. [for saving us] sthithE manasi ?.. cha maamajam (1) tathastham ? nayAmi paramAm gathim (2) Oh Bhumi Devi! The entire universe is my body (sarIram ). I do not have births or deaths. When my bhakthAs with mahA visvAsam surrender to me, while they are still in a state of tranquil mind and healthy body and reflect about Me as as SarvAdharan (root cause of all), NiyanthA (one who commands from within) sarva sEshi ( the ultimate ), aasrayaNeeyan (one who is fit to be worshipped), Sarva VyApthan (all- pervasive ) and Nithya sannihithan ( One who is always near ), THEN I think of them at their last moments, when they are totally unconscious like a log or a stone and lead them by archirAdhi maargam to My parama padham and bless them to have nithya kaimkarya bhAgyam to Me there . This is the mountain ThiruvEnkatam where the Kutti KaNNan who had played flute in His mouth so divinely resides. PeriyAzhwAr enjoys His playing of flute: Siruviral Thadavi parimaRa SenkaN Koda Seyyavai Koppulippa KuRuvayirppuruvam koodilippa Govindan Kuzhal kondu oodhinapodhu Paravaiyin KanangaL koodu thurandhu vandhu soozhndhu padukadu kidappa Karavaiyin kanaNgaL Kal paRappittu KavizhndhiraNgi Seviyattagillave. When Govindan strokes and distributes through His small lovely fingers over His flute and plays music, (how? - SenkaN koda Seyyavai Koppulippa- The Lotus eyes strain and the Lotus coral lips blow the air- How great it will be to witness those Beautiful lotus eyes and the( Kuvindha) Coral lips! - kuravayirppuruvam Koodilippa - the little sweaty eye brows slightly narrow down as if they are trying to touch each other due to the effort he takes for playing the flute) When such a lovely divine music flows from the Almighty Himeself, the Birds leave their nests and approach the Lord to come near Him (to listen) and lie dead so that no disturbance is caused even by their wings; and the Cows and Calves (some of them are half way eating the grass- some of them had already eaten but didn?t chew; some just lowered to eat the grass but freezed and all of them thus stopped in the middle in order not to let their eating or munching sound disrupt them to hear the Divine music- The cows and calves did not, no, COULD NOT even shake their ears, it appears. (Seviyaatagillave!) That completes PeiyAzhwAr anubhavam of Thiruvenkatam and let us now move to mazhisai vandha jyOthi in the next post AzhwAr ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNam SrI PadmAvathI SamEtha Sri Srinivasa ParabrahmaNE Namah: Regards Namo Narayana dAsan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
