Arul Maa Kadal of Thiru SiRu
Puliyoor Dhivya Desam ********************************************************************
In the previous Paasuram ,
Kaliyan appealed to one and
all to cast aside Veda-BhAhya
Mathams like Jainam and
those Mathams which straddle
between Vedam and outside
Vedam such as
Saiva-Paasupatham as well as Veda Mathams
that stress on the worship of
DevathAntharams ( Devathais
other than Sriman Narayana )
.
In this Paasuram , Kaliyan
asks us to uplift ourselves with
single-minded aarAdhanam of
Sriman NarayaNan , who is
the Para Devathai to all
other silluNDi dEvathais . Latter are
all under the control of
Sriman Narayanan and have been
empowered to perform
their duties by Him in their assigned
positions
.
In this beautiful Paasuram ,
Kaliyan points out that he practises
what he preaches . He says
that he does not know as upAyam for
his Moksham anything other
than the sacred feet of the Lord
residing at SiRu PuliyUr in
the archA form with the name of
AruL Maa
Kadal. He
states that coming to this dhivya dEsam
and worshipping Chala Sayana
PerumAL would not only destroy
all of our sins but also
stabilize our Kaimkarya Sri . That is what I did
says Thirumangai in this
Paasuram :
Parayum vinai thozhuthu
uymmin neer PaNiyum siRu thoNDar
aRayum
punal oru paal vayal oru paal pozhil oru paal
siRai vaNDu inam aRayum Siru
PuliyUr chalasayanatthu
uRayum
IRai adi allathu onRu iRayum aRiyEn
(Meaning ) : Oh AasthikAs !
Worship Him and be redeemed
( Thozhuthu uyymin neer ) !
Your sins
will disappear ( Vinai
PaRayum ) . Approach Him as
His servants and prostrate before
Him ( siRu thoNDeer PaNiyum )
! Seek refuge in Him . Here at
SiRu PuliyUr , there is the
abundance of water in the form of
floods ;
there are fertile
, green rice paddy fileds on one side ;
there are
rich , green groves on another side . Every where ,
the honey bees roam with
their wings spread performing
Hari Naama Sankeerthanam .
Here rests Chala Sayana PerumAl
for ever . Adiyen worships
Him here and adiyEn does not know
of any upAyam other than His
sacred feet for my rakshaNam .
Special Notes
:
********************
"SiRu ThoNDu " that Kaliyan
refers to in this Paasuram
is what ANDAL seeks
as " KuRREval " in Her ThiruppAvai
Paasuram(29) :
" yeRRaikkum yEzhEzh
piRavikkum unn tannOdu uRROmE
aavOm ; UnakkE nAmm
aatccheyvOm ; - - -Nee yengaL
kURREVAL koLLAmal pOhAthu ;
maRRai namm Kaamangal
mARRu
".
Seeking KuRREVal ( kuRu+yEval
= EmperumAnAl yEvappatta
kaariyangaLai Avan
ThiruvuLLam mahizha seythal) , ANDAL
reminds the Lord of the
indissoluble Master-Servant relationship
between the Lord and the
Jeevan . ANDAL reminds the Lord that it is
SvaymprayOjana
, ParamaikAnthi Kaimkaryam ( Kaimkaryam for
Kaimkaryam's sake without
anticipating any rewards from those
who know of no god other
than the Lord Sriman Narayna as their God ) .
This Kaimkaryam is
"PoRRAmaRai adiyE pORRum Kaimkaryam ".
This Kaimkaryam is Bhagavath
abhimatha Kaimkaryam . That which
is desired by the Lord and
commanded by Him . Swamy NammAzhwAr
refers to this kaimkaryam by
us as SeshabhUthars ( servants ) of the Lord
as " ozhivil
KaalamellAm udanAy manni " seyya vENDiya KuRREval.
This is the Kaimkaryam done
by those , who experience EmperumAn
as " uNNUm sORu , Paruhu neer
". This is Sarva dEsa , Sarva Kaala ,
Sarva avasthaa kaimkaryam .
it is not of the bargaining kind :
dEhi mE , dhadhAmi
tE "
( Grant me
this , I will give You that).
Kaliyan instructs us to
approach the Srimanthou CharaNou
( Thiruppolintha Thiruvadi)
and perform the KuRREval and
seek rakshaNam from SamsAric
afflictions and have all of our
sins destroyed ( siRu
thoNDeer , PaNiyum
. Thozhuthu uymmin !
vinai paRayum )
.
