This being the concluding posting of this series it is adiyen's humble request
to all bhagavatas to please consider this as adiyen's personal anubhavam and no
insult or nothing against the poorvacharya anubhavams/vyakhyanams is intended.
It is adiyen's involvement towards Parthasarathi and thiruvallikeni divya desam
that had made adiyen write such a series. There may be many places not
acceptable to many but still let this be considered as just one other anubhavam
of an ignorant soul blabbering something ("neesanEn niraiondrumilEn en kan
pAsam vaiththa paramsudar jOdhikkE" "elaiya pun kavidhaiyElum empirArkku
eniyavArE"). Right or wrong adiyen is sure that this series will be enjoyable
to both Parthasarathi emperuman and all his devotees. What else to say other
than his divine grace (nirheduka krupai) that had made the lowest of the lowest
jeevatma like adiyen to write a few words about emperuman and his greatness.
We will conclude this series just spotting one great occasion to add to our
anubhavam. In the previous posting we saw that MA had indirectly did
mangalasasanams to our dear Parthasarathi. Do you know how sArathi honours MA
for the same? It is only on the avarthAra dinam of MA, chittiraiyil chittirai
does parathasarathi start his grand yearly brahmotsavam. It is like sArathi
celebrating the divine avataram of MA to show the greatness of an acharya to
this world for 10 days. And on top of all this on that day parthasarathi gives
divine darshan to MA in the 'pinna kalai vAhanam' as kutti kannan with a flute
in hand. Just for all your information there is one another similar happening
in thiruvallikeni when Narasimhan/Azhagiya singan during his brahmotsavam
honours periazhvar (on Ani swathi). Periazhvar did mangalasasanams to
narasimhan in his very first prabhandam thiruppallAndu as "andhiyam pOdhil
ariyuruvAgi ariyai azhiththavanai pandhanai teera pallAndu
pallAyiraththAndendru pAdudhumE".
[Blessed were the souls who witnessed the divine sevai of periazhvar on a small
yanai vahanam doing mangalAsAsanams to azhagiya singan on top of garudan this
year.]
There is no end to adiyen's anubhavams with parthasarathi/thiruvallikeni but a
great fear in adiyen's mind keeps on asking me to put a stop to writing more
and more. Will not "evil eyes" fall on my dear parthasarathi? So due to that
fear of kandrishti adiyen is concluding for now. Adiyen's humble request to all
the bhagavatas to do mangalAsAsanams to thiruvallikeni and all emperumans over
there including all the azhvars and acharyas under the divine service of the
lord in archa roopam. Adiyen's fear increases due to the recent disheartening
incidents in thirumala. Thirumalai by itself is considered very sacred by our
poorvacharyas "malaiyE thiruvudambu" swamy emperumAnAr hesitated even to put
his feet on the thirumalai though he himself was seshAvataram. But that divine
place is in a very sad state today. AnanthAzhvan, was a very close disciple of
emperumanar who practiced madurakavi bhavam to the maximum extent. That is why
people in his lineage still call themselves as 'madurakavi dasan'. AnanthAzhvan
considered the kainkaryam allotted to him by his acharya as more important even
to the bhagavat sevai. He considered even the ants in thirumalai to be some
nithya soori. Kulasekara perumal wanted a birth atleast as a step in thirumalai
"padiyAi kidandhu vun pavalavAi kAnbEnE" "emperumAN pon malai mEl edEnum AvEnE"
We even today call the divine step near the emperuman sannadhi only as
"kulasekaran padi" Amidst all these greatness how come such atrocities are
going on in thirumalai? How are we Srivaishnavas still keeping quiet taking
care of just our personal needs? Will we keep quiet if our father is in danger,
if his place is blasted with bombs? Unfortunate vandalism has struck that
divine place held so close to the hearts of azhvars and acharyas. In
thiruvaimozhi, azhvar choose only thirumalai padhigam to deliver the dvayArtham
to all ("ozhivil kAlamellam" and "vulagamunda peruvAyA"). The same
thiruvenkatamudaiyan came down to thiruvallikeni as venkata Krishnan to explain
the charama slokArtham to one and all not just by words but also with his
divine darshan (his thirumeni talks the divine rahasyam). Emperuman came down
for all our welfare but hope the virus of scandalling of emperuman's property
doesn't descend not only to thiruvallikeni but also to any other divya desam.
Let us all join together and sing mangalAsAsanam especially to
thirumalai/thiruvenkatamudaiyan (undergoing such pain today),
thiruvallikeni/Parthasarathi and to all the emperumans at all the divya desams.
May the lords stay amidst the crowd of devotees who love and care for the lord.
May commercialization and selfishness not enter the divya desams and Srivaishna
community and spoil the divine atmosphere.
