Sri Parthasarathi thunai

Srimad Vara Vara MunayE Namaha

Sri vAnAchala mahA munayE Namaha



"Srivatsachinha misrEbhO namavukthi madheemahi,

yadhuktayas trayeekantE yAnthi mangaLasootrathAm"



"Sri parasara bhattAryA: SrirangEsa purOhita:

srivatsAngitha sudhas sriman sreyasE mEstu bhooyasE"



Let us first see what the six prime qualities of bhagavan signify:



1.. Jnanam - That which shows/illuminates everything around and also self.
2.. balam- Strength behind facing/holding all the worlds on his shoulders.
3.. Ishvaryam- wealth of independence, ruling over everything
4.. veeryam- Though being the upAdAna kArana (supporting cause for creation) no 
change occurs in his svaroopa. Remains unchanged.
5.. shakthi- Being the upAdAna kArana behind srushti. Having a special power 
"agatidagatinAsAmarthiyam" (executing everything not possible by anyone else).
6.. tEjas- Self dependent. Doesn't need anyone's help at the same time always 
successful in his attempts.


The main difference between the puranas and the azhvars is that the puranas 
tell about the bhagavan and his leelas and stop with it but never show us the 
bhagavan actually whereas the azhvars never stop with talking about emperuman 
they lift us to the level of visualizing him. Do the azhvars grant us any divya 
chakshus? Yes the nalayira divya prabhandam of the azhvars itself act as the 
divine eye through which we will be able to have the sAkshAtkAram of emperuman. 
While talking about Krishna and Rama we may feel bad that we weren't blessed to 
be born as a gopi or an ayodhya vasee. So immediately azhvar will tell us don't 
worry I will show you that rama and Krishna today. "Where?" we screamed with 
amazement. Azhvar will say, "Thiruvallikeni kandEnE". Not only kannan or raman 
even if you want to see vasudeva, sankarshana, pradyumna and anirudhdha 
moorthis there is only one place in this leela vibhoothi (should adiyen call it 
as leela vibhoothi or is it bhoolaka vaikundam!).



Many of you may pounce at me and say how is that possible? We have heard that 
Paravasudevan exists in Srivaikundam and the vyuha moorthis are found in 
thiruparkadal. Though both paramapadam and thiruparkadal are part of the 
108-divya desams to be visited by a Srivaishnavite we have heard our elders 
saying time and again that only 106 can be visited by us with this bootha vudal 
(existing body). 



Whatever is told is of course right but Thiruvallikeni is such a divya desam 
where we have the anubhavam of param, vyuham, vibhavam and archai. Moolavar 
venkatakrishnan is none other than the paravAsudevan himself along with his 
divine consort rukmini. His moustache shows his purushOtama lakshana to us. No 
other perumal in any other divya desam has moustache. In the same sannadhi we 
can have the divine darshan of sankarshana moorthi as balaramar. Vyuha 
sankarshanar incarnated as vibhava balaramar who is seen in archai in 
thiruvallikeni. Names may change due to age, place and time but the personality 
and his divine qualities remain unchanged. Vyuha pradyumnar incarnated as the 
son of Krishna in krishnAvatara and now stays along with his father in 
thiruvallikeni. Vyuha anirudhdhar incarnated as krishnA's grand son in 
krishnAvatara who is also seen in archai near his father in the same sannadhi. 
What an amazing place thiruvallikeni is? No other divya desam has so many 
greatnesses combined together. 



Only thing we can say about thiruvallikeni is "yathO vAchO nivarthanthE 
apprApya manasA saha" Neither can we finish talking about the qualities of 
bhagavan nor can we finish talking the greatness of his divya desam.
