Dear Sri Ramachandra BhakthAs
:
adiyEn's Best wishes for a
Happy , Healthy and
Kaimkaryam-filled New Year of
PaarTiva to you ,
Your Family & Friends !
PaarTiva
Year is the 19th year in the Jupiter's cycle of 60 Years
.
The Next year in this cycle
is Viyaya .
The Name
PaarTiva ( masculine gender ) is derived from PruTvee
,
the Earth ( Medhini ,
Vasundhara , Sarvam Sahaa , BhUmi DEvi) .
PaarTiva means relating to Earth or the Lord of the Earth .
Thus , PaarTiva
SrEshtA means the best
among Kings : Chakravarthy Thirumahan ,
Lord Raamachandra is that
PaarTiva SrEshtan . PaarTiva
Suthaa refers to
the King's daughter :
Janaka Maha RAjA's
Daughter , SithA Piratti
.
When we think of the new year
, PaarTiva , both Lord Raamachandra and
His Divine Consort Jaanaki
fill our minds .The SlOkams of Swamy ParAsara
Bhattar's Sri GuNa Rathna
Kosam ( http://www.malolan.org) {slOkams (
50 & 51) }
and his
Sri Rangaraja
Sthavam , SthOthram flash before our minds . Swamy ParAsara
Bhattar visualizes Sri
RanganAyaki as Jaanaki MaathA and Uthsavar vigraham
of Lord RanganAtha as SrI
Ramachandra . Moola BhEram at Srirangam is
traditionally accepted as
DaamOdhara KrishNan .
Swamy Desikan has saluted
Lord RanganAthan as Sriranga PruTveesan
( = Ranga
PaarTivan ) in number of Paadhukaa Sahasra SlOkams . This
adds extra support to the
view proposed here that the new PaarTiva
Year
is tightly coupled to Lord
RanganAtha as RaamAvathAran & Sri RanganAyaki
as
Jaanaki MaathA ( Sri Ranga PruTveeswari ) . Swamy ParAsara Bhattar
concedes in the 51st SlOkam
of Sri GuNa Rathna Kosam that he belongs
to the Jaanaki GhOshti and
that the Lord Sriranga PaarTivan is related to
him thru Jaanaki Maathaa
.
Let us conclude this tribute
to this Divine Couple during this Sri Raama Navami
uthsava season through
two slOkams , one from Swamy ParAsara Bhattar and
the other from Sri Kutti
SaasthrigaL VamsatthAr :

PadhmA-DhAthree karAbhyAM
parichitha scharaNam RangarAjam bhajEham
(Meaning ) : I meditate on
the Lord of Srirangam reclining on his most enjoyable
soft bed of AdhisEsha with
His eyes closed in YoganidhrA pose . He is keeping His
right hand under His head and
His left hand near His hip . He rests under the PraNavAkAra VimAnam of the Srirangam
Temple encircled by seven courtyards. His feet are being gently
pressed by SrI and BhU
Devis during His yoganidhrA at His temple situated in
the central region of KaavEri
delta.
Lord RanganAthA's Temple in
Pomona , N.Y.observes all Uthsavams and anushtAnams
as at
Srirangam temple
including the use of PanchAngam computed by JyOsyar ,
Kutti SaasthrigaL , whose family has been Sriranga
PanchAnga GaNitha MirAsu
for the past 115 years.
adiyEn adds their vamsatthAr's SaraNAgathy to
the Srirangam Dhivya
Dampathis :
