SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest Srivaishnavas, After the divine BhootthAzhwAr?s anubhavams, let us begin to enjoy PEyAzhwAr?s- wonderful anubhavams on ThiruvEnkatam. maaRpaal manamsuzippa mangaiyar_thOL kaivittu, nooRpaal manamvaikka noyvithaam, naaRpaala vEthatthaan vEngadatthaan viNNOr mudithOyum, paathatthaan paatham paNinthu. 14 The Lord of ThiruvEnkatam- the Sowseelyan- one who resides there on his own for our sake; the One who is described, mentioned by and is the essence of all four Vedas; The Feet of this greatest Lord- where the crowns of Nithyasuris are placed with respect [when they prostrate at His Feet]. My mind that gets involved, immersed and gets attracted to the beauty of these two Lotus Feet of Lord ThiruvEnkatamudaiyaan due to which the mind is now easily staying away from the desire to hug the shoulders of beautiful women and get more liking to learn and adhere to Vedanthic saasthrAs thereby get closer to the Lord?s Lotus Feet. A wonderful verse from pEyAzhwAr. PeyAzhwAr is the third of the Mudhal AzhwArs. He was born in Mylapore (Maada Maamayilai) inside a red lotus flower blooming in the well at AdhikEsava PerumAL Koil as the amsam of the Lord's Sword (Nandhakam). This AzhwAr was PerumAL-obsessed (pitthan )and hence was called pEy AzhwAr. Just like PeriyAzhwAr, he was able to have the direct sevai of PerumAL effortlessly through his Parama Bhakthi. He performed mangaLAsAsanam for PerumAL, ThAyAr and PerumAL's weapons at ThirukkOvalUr just as PeriyAzhwAr did at Then Mathurai. pEy AzhwAr is considered as an AchAryan for Thirumazhisai AzhwAr in our sampradhAyam. we have to remember three gems of spiritual experience of God in pEy AzhwAr's prabhandham : (1) The Supreme Lord is Sriman NaarAyaNan possessing Sri Devi in His divine heart (2) He is the most beautiful and satisfying Being and (3) He is the most tender healer of of all sorrows and abolisher of sins and fear of samsAram as well as granter of Moksham . In the very first verse of AzhwAr moonRaam ThiruvanthAthi- pEyAzhwAr describes with exultation the great joy of the seeing the Lord with Sri Devi and His dhivya aayudhams (weapons): thirukkaNdEn ponmEni kaNdEn, thikazum arukkan aNin^iRamum kaNdEn, - serukkiLarum ponnaazi kaNdEn puri sangam kaikkaNdEn, ennaazi vaNNanpaal inRu. 1 Today is a great day .I secured the privilege of seeing the Lord's Form (ThirumEni), by His grace. I saw MahA Lakshmi; I saw Her on a pure gold body of the Lord;His effulgence was like that of the Sun;I saw the enemy-destroying, fiery, but beautiful chakram (in one hand);I saw also the bent Conch (Paanchajanyam) in the other hand. All of these I saw in my dear Ocean-hued Lord, Sriman NaarAyanan (from SrI Satakopan Swami?s write up) AzhwAr ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNam SrI PadmAvathI SamEtha Sri Srinivasa ParabrahmaNE Namah: Regards Namo Narayana dAsan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
