Dear Sri Nrusimha BhakthAs
:
Let us reflect on the 8th
Paasuram of Kaliyan on Ahobila
KshEthra Naathan , Sri
Lakshmi Narsimhan :
Naatthazhumbha
Naanmuhanaum Isanum-Aay muRayAl
yEttha angOr AaLariyAi iruntha AmmAn idam
kaayttha vaahai neRRu
olippak-kall athar vEynkazhai pOy
tEyttha
theeyAl ViNN sivakkum SingavEL KunRamE
(Meaning and comments
)
*********************************
The transformations in Brahma
Devan , Indhran
and all the other DevAs
after HiraNya samhAram
are described here
.The stage is set for
PrahlAdha Sthuthi of the Lord
and the embrace of the Lord by
MahA Lkshmi
to make Him
Lasksmi Narasimhan (MaalOlan) .
"
Naanmukhanum IsanumAi muRayAl naat-tazhumbha yEttha "
********************************************************************************
When HiraNyan got the
boons of "indestructibility " from Brahma Devan ,
he terrorized the world
and its beings ; BrahmA and Siva transfromed
themselves into human forms
to praise HiraNyan for fear of their lives ;
some times , they praised
HiraNyan in their own forms . They forgot
who their real Lord was
. Brahma was afraid of the HiraNyan that he
had created . Brahma slipped
from the worship of the Lord prescribed
in SaasthrAs and lost his
satthu and Svaroopa Jn~Anam . This went on
for a considerable time ,
when HiraNyan strutted around hailing his
supermacy and invincibility
.
When NrusimhAvathAram took
place and they ( BrahmAdhi DEvAs)
had the darsana
soubhAgyam of the adhbhutha Kesari ( wonderous form
as Naram kalantha singam) ,
Brahma , Siva and
other celestials snapped back
into the true awareness
of their status of
eternal SeshabhUthars to
the Sarva Seshi , the Lord .
Their dormant and
temporarily immobilized
Svaroopa Jn~Anam blossomed
forth
to its full dimensions . They
regained
their satthu
(aay) and engaged in
the
sthuthi of their Lord (yEttha)
at a level much higher than
that before . Their tongues developed welts
(tazhumpu) from the repeated utterance of
the Lord's
thousand names .
Brahma , Siva , Indhran and
the thirty three crores of DevAs , MahA Lakshmi
and the Baala bhakthan ,
PrahlAdhan had the paramAnandham of the Lord's sevai
seated on HiraNyan's throne
( angu ohr AaLariyAi IRUNDHA AMMAAN
) .
The Lord at Ahobilam was
in the seated pose (VeeRRirundha ThirukkOlam) .
This then is the seated
Jwaala Narasimha Moorthy uthsavar that we have
the bhAgyam
of worshipping inside PrahlAdha Varadhan Sannidhi
today
and at other sannidhis ,
where He is blessing us in Iruntha THirukkOlam .
The nine sannidhis of Sri
Narasimha avatAra Moorthy can be enjoyed at
the Ahobila Matam home

the nine Nrusimha Sannidhis at Ahobila
KshEthram ( JwAlA ,
Ahobila , MaalOla , KrODa , Kaarancha ,
BhArgava , YogAnandha ,
ChatravaDa and Paavana Narasimhans)
can be accessed at the
archives in the series entitled " A SanyAsi
ascends to the Throne "
by adiyEn :
This posting
covers the spreading of the resplendent JyOthi
from
JwAlA Narasimhan to
reside at nine sannidhis around
the JwAlA Sthambham .
The shtuthi by Lord SivA
( Ahirbhudhnyan) came out in the form of
Mantra Raaja Padha
SthOthram . Sri Muralidharan Rangaswamy has written
an excellent article on
the sacred Manthra Raaja Padha SthOthram , which you
can
access at
:
Sri Rangaswamy has
written another informative article on the mahimai
of the Sudarsanam in the
upper right hand of the Lord ( Naarasimha Vapu:
SrimAn Kesava:
PurushOtthama:) , which became the adamantine nail
that bypassed BrahmA's
boons and destroyed HiraNyan :

Lines of Kaliyan's 8th Paasuram on AhObila NaaTan

" Kaayttha vaahai neRRu
olippa kall athar vEynkazhai pOy
tEyttha
theeyAl viNN sivakkum SingavEL KUnRamE "
AzhwAr says that this is
the SingavEL KunRam , where even today
one has to climb the
hills with difficulty due to its challenging terrain
.
Here , the dry bamboo
plants rub against one another as a result of
the strong winds at
Ahobilam and generate forest fires that reach sky high
.
The dried up fruits
hanging on the many Vaahai trees burst open
in the encompassing fire
and shoot out their seeds noisily all around .
The fire spreading from
the dense bamboo bushes reminds one of
the fire that shot up to
the skies during the time of destruction of
HiraNyan by Lord
Narasimhan .
"ViNN sivakkum " sandhyA
Kaalams must be wonderful to experience
at the Ahobilam hills
(SingavEL KunRam) as described by Thirumangai
Mannan many
hundreds
of years ago .
