SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesikamahadesikaya namah: Dearest Srivaishnavas, Let us continue to enjoy the next AzhwAr?s -BhoothatthAzhwAr?s- wonderful anubhavams on ThiruvEnkatam. Next and today?s verse on ThiruvEnkatam is 33rd verse. thuNinthathu sinthai thuzaayalangal, angam aNinthavanpE ruLLatthup palgaal, - paNinthathuvum vEypiRangu saaral viRalvENG kadavanaiyE, vaaythiRangaL sollum vagai. 33 my mind has firmly caught hold of the divine names of the most fragrant thuLasi garland adorned Lord and been contemplating and meditating only Him very many times; It has been attempting and trying to do that; My body prostrates performing saashtAnga praNAmams at the strongest and Supreme Lord of ThiruvEnkatam where tall bamboos tress have grown densely; my mouth has bravely and wisely chosen to utter His glorious deeds and attributes of Him again and again. AzhwAr mentions that his manas, vaak and kaayam (mind, speech and action) all three align themselves to pay his obeisance to the Lord ThiruvEnkatamudaiyaan. Unless the three factors synchronise, and act in tandem, then there will be no straight forward actions and there will be conflicts within our own self. AndAl also mentions the same in thooyOmaay vandu, thoomalar thoovi thozhdhu, Vaayinaal paadi, manatthinaal sindhikka? here also three namely mind, body and action are referred to. In Thiruppavai 5th verse, she refers to the above line: [From SrI SatakOpan Swamin?s article on this PAsuram of Thiruppavai:] ThUmalar thoovi thozhuthu , VaayinAL paadi, ManathinAl chinthikka": Suddha pushpAnjali as at Thirumalai is Thoomalar Thoovuthal ; Among the flowers , Utthama pushpam is the one grown by one in one's own garden (nandhavanam )for the Lord like periyAzhwAr and ThoNDaradippodi); madhyama pushpam is one grown in common ground; the adhama pushpam is one , which are collected through yaachakam from others.TuLasi Pushpa samarpanam and manthra Pushpa samarpaNam are very dear to our Lord's heart. Hence ANDAL recommends them here .After PushpAnjali, the naama sankIrthanam (VaayinAL paadi) has to be conducted. Bhagavath guna dhyAna Chinthanai (dhyAnam) follows next. AmbharIsha chakravarthy's dhyAnam of KrishNan (Sa vai Mana: KrishNa:) is the way to follow . ManathinAl chinthikka, pOya Pizhayum , puhu taruvAn ninRanavum theeyinil thUsAhum CHEPPU": If we offer pushpAnjali with a suddha manas, sing the glory of His naamAs and meditate on Him, all of our accumulated sins as well as the ones accrued after Saranagathi will be burnt to ashes like the bale of cotton thrown into a blazing fire.
