If we are blessed with the divine thiruvadi of manavAla mAmunikal in this world we are sure to be blessed with the divine hands of amAnavan on our heads later. **The jeeva then receives the divine body blessed by bhagavan out of his sankalpa (a mental creation); **Then the jeeva lands in the divya desa where there is no power for time (the time never rules in the divine abode of the lord); **He first undergoes a holy bath; **He is grandly embellished; **Slowly he reaches the divya vimAna; **He crosses the divine entrance; **He is welcomed by divine angels (apsara srees); **He gradually smells the holiness; **He now smells the lord; **He then moves towards the aprAkrutha (that which is away from nature) gopura; **Now he enters the world of divinity; **He comes in contact with the nithya sooris; **His journey continues in the divine way (Raja mArga); **He attains the enthralling beauty (brahma tEjas); **Now comes the divine gopura; **He enters the divine abode of the lord; **He proceeds towards the maha mandapam; **He has the darshan of the sacred jeevas always in service to the divine lord; **Now he is blessed with the final treat, the divine darshan of the lord along with his consorts; **With folding arms praising the lord He approaches emperuman; (To be continued) LokacharyAya guravE Krishna pAdasya soonavE I SamsAra bhOgi sandhasta jeevajeevAtavE namaha II vAzhi vulagAsiriyan vAzhiavan mannukulam vAzhi mudumpai ennum mAnagaram-vAzhi manan soozhindha pErinbha malgu migu nallAr enansoozh indhirukkum eruppu" Azhvar emperumAnAr Jeeyer thiruvadigalE sharaNam Adiyen ramanuja dAsee Sumithra Varadarjan [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
