======================================================== Sri: Dear Devotees, Beautiful and emotional discourse by Sri U. Ve. V Krishnan Swami started this morning, you may also join the replay at 9 PM EST. Kanninun Siruthambu Series Starting Today USA 2004 Visit: http://www.vedics.net/tours/vk2004tour/index.html In reponse to a question posed by a devotee: ========================================================== Subject: Difference between acArya abhimAnam and bhagavat abhimAnam Dear bhAgavatAs, Ten alwars took birth to sing in praise of Sriman nArAyana. Madhurakavi alwar and Andal were for bhAgavata/acArya abhimAnam. Again, IrAmAnusa nUtrandAdi is also on bhAgavata/acArya abhimAnam. You would note a difference between the other prabandhams and the two on acArya namely kanninuN sirutAmbu and IrAmAnusa nUtrandAdi. When we surrender before bhagavAn, there is a doubt in our mind whether he would accept us or not. However great he was bharata saraNAgati did not fructify. However mean he was, guha saraNAgati was fruitful. We cannot decide whether we would be treated as bharata or guha. It is totally dependant on HIS wish. All the alwars who were longing for his communion lamented for years without his darsan. So where are we before them? This thought arises due to the unquestionable svAtantryam of bhagavAn. Pillai lOkacArya in SV bhUshanam says, to overcome this one has to resort to acArya abhimAnam. This assures us of the result. Now the difference between saraNAgati and acArya abhimAnam is evident in the divine songs of alwars. It is only the songs in kanninuN sirutAmbu and IrAmAnusa nUtrandAdi which have a unique characteristic. All the songs in these two divya prabandhams end with "E" which reveals a certainty. For instance in KNS tAmbu nAvukkE, tirivanE, nanmaiyE, nambiyE,....kANminE. In I NUtrandAdi - nAmangalE, pEriyalvE, iyalvutannE,....inpuraVe, angAlpaduttE, pUmannavE etc. Why is this feature predominant in these two only. This also due to the meter they have sung in. The letter "E" in tamil stands for certainty (avadhAraNam). The poets of these two only are certain and confident of the results. Not the others. This stands as a testimony of acArya abhimanams supremacy over saraNAgati. There is one other feature. All the verbs used for anugraham or reaching alwar, in KNStAmbu are in past tense. inbameidinEn,mEvinEn, pAthi arulinAn, nenjuL niruttinAn. Other alwars mostly use future tense representing a request- arulAi, kANa vArAi.. etc. They are yet to see the result.BhagavAn always keeps them guessing. But for madhurakavi alwar,before he could request he got the result without any waiting period.
