SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest Srivaishnavas, Let us continue to enjoy Pey AzhwAr anubhavam on ThiruvEnkatam. Next verse is the 32nd of MoonRaam ThiruvanthAthi: paaRkadalum vEngadamum paampum panivisumbum, nooRkadalum nuNNula thaamaraimEl, - paaRpat tirunthaar manamum idamaakak koNdaan, kurunthosittha gOpaa lakan. 32 AzhwAr says: Thus, the places where the Lord chooses to stay in Divya Desams has got no limits at all. That is His dayA. GopAlan- go pAlakan- The One who protects the cows (the jeevathmas)- went crawling through the Kurundha trees [along with the mortar- when he was toed down to it by YasodhA] and broke the trees; - That Gopala resides in The Milky ocean; ThiruvEnkatam; The Paramapadham that is the coolest place- the refuge- for those who are burning in the scorching heat of samsaaram. Also He resides in the huge vast ocean like vedanthas and saasthrAs; and also in the hearts of the Rishis or Sages who always in their loyus hearts, meditate on His Lotus Feet [knowing fully well and understanding the unparalleled Supremacy of His Lordship from the ocean like Vedanthas and saasthrAs] He resides in their hearts mercifully forever. Padma kOsa pratheekasagum hrudhayam? The lotus like heart. The heart is like an inverted lotus flower- Acharyas have said. Sri Krishna Himself says: thEshAm jnAni nithyayuktha yEka bhakthir viSishyathE | priyO hi jnAninO(S)thyarTham aham sa cha mama priya: || GitA 6.17 Among the four types, the wise men, the fourth type, jnAni is the best, because he is always attached to Me and is single minded in his devotion to Me. The jnAni mediates on Me while in this world; and then attains Me. The four types of men are (as mentioned in earlier verse of GitA 16th verse 7th chapter) aartthi, arthaarthi, jignAsu and jnAni. First is the one who wishes to get rid of their sorrows; They wish to regain their lost wealth; Second type are those who wish to acquire new wealth; Thirdly, those who want to realize the real, pure nature of their soul or jeevathma?s glories. This state is Kaivalyam. Fourth is the type of jnAnis. Those who know Me and My greatness; desire to attain Me alone as the Highest Object of attainment. The jnAni is devoted only to Me; He is desirous of Me, I am the only Means and the Goal for jnAnis. He is the best of men. I am extremely dear to such a man. Even I, who am omniscient, omnipotent, can not express how much I am dear to such a wise man- jnAni. In the same way, he is also extremely dear to Me- says Krishna. Chathurmukha ShaNmukha Pancha mukha ? Four faced Brahma, Murugan, Rudran et al come to ThiruvEnkatam and place their heads at His Lotus Feet. They wished to adorn their heads with the most precious gem stone for their heads; they found that the most valuable and precious One is the Lotus Feet of Srinivasan. akila deivatha mouLi maNi- He is the gem stone for every demi god?s for their heads. Saranagatha vathsala saara nidhE- He shows His vaathslayam for Saranagathars- Those who have surrendered. Like the cow showing towards its calf; Paripaalayamaam vrushasailapathE:- Oh ThiruvEnkatamudaiyaan! Save me; Remove the anishtam [hurdles] from me and grant me that we desire for; He is the God of all Devas; All Nithyasuris, demi gods come to ThiruvEnkatam to pay their obeisance. Swamy EmperumAnAr Says: anaalOchitha asEsha visEsha lOka SaraNyan; He is the SaraNyan for ALL- without any partiality or bias; He is the One merciful towards everyone. Here in this verse AzhwAr enlists all five forms of Lord being referred to- namely, Param, vyooham, vibhavam, Haardha and archA. Param- pani visumbhu- Paramapadham Vyooham- PaarKadal- Milky ocean archA- ThiruvEnkatam; Haardham- Heart ? antharyaami roopam Vibhavam- Gopalakan. pEyAzhwAr ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNam Sri PadmavathI samEtha Sri Srinivasa ParabrahmaNE namah: Regards Namo Narayana dAsan __________________________________ Discover Yahoo!
