Subject: [SriRangaSri] "pandanai Theera
Pallandu " - Thirupallandu
Dear Srivaishnavas
Adiyen like to share a few of the gems of
"Thirupallandu" by Perialwar . As we all know that as Perialwar was
coming back from the King's court (Pandava) after winning the Vedha
saras about establishing the fact the Sriman Narayanan is the
"parathvam" , Sriman Narayanan wanted to see His disciple's winning moments
and hence appeared before Alwar in Garuda seva.
Here comes the Gem of the situation , Alwar on
seeing it instead of requesting any mundane things, and also Alwar did not
even ask for Moksham or any well being for him, But Alwar started wishing
Perumal "Pallandu Pallandu" which no one can even think of it. Hencedue
to this great love Sri Vishnusittar got the name of Perialwar -"Pongum
Parivale Perran Perialwar ennumPer " - Upadesa Rathinamalai.
In this verse of 10 pAsurams Alwar gathers all of
us to pray Pallandu to SrimanNarayanan. In one o fthe pAsurams Alwar
prayed
Andhiyam Podhil AriUruvAgi Ariye Azhithavanyi
Pandanai theera Pallandu Pallanduenru
Palladuthume"
In this Alwar was praying Pallandu for
SriNarasimha Avatharam.
If you see the Avatharam of SriRama and
SriKrishna they faced thier opnnents in the battle filed in their Adult age .
SriRama faced Ravana at the age of 38 and SriKrishna faced Kamsa at the age of
12 (correct me if I am wrong), but for Narasimha it was on the same date when
He took the avatharam. Alwar saw Narasimha as new born baby and got afraid how
He can face such a mighty opponent.
As a normal thing every new born baby will
be having a shivering(anukkam) for some time, and by nature it will be over
within few minutes and if its not then its a serious concern towards childs
health. So Alwar is more worried about Childs health and hence sung the
"Pandanai theera" meaning to remove anukkam for the Kid..
Now the question is After praying for His well
being why Alwar had to sing "palas sthuthi" as the last pAsuram
"pAllanduenra pavithiranai paramethiye" .
As we all know Alwar never expects any thing back
from Him then why is the palas thuthi?
All the above points are form the Upanyasam of
SriMA VenkataKrishnan swamy on the ThiruPallandu last month. Swamy is giving
his final part on 4th Nov 2001 on the Vedic Bridge at 6.00 pm Pacific (9 pm
