SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest all, Let us continue to enjoy the divine verses of AzhwArs on ThiruvEnkatamudayaan. Today?s verse: NammAzhwAr Thiruvaymozi 10.5.6. In this EXCELLENT DECAD [10.5] PASURAMS, NammAzhwAr advises BhakthAs of Emperumaan. NammAzhwAr?s advice which had started off in 1.2, veedumin muRRavum, ends in this decad. 6. mEyaan vENkatam* kaayaamalar vaNNan* pEyaar mulai uNda* vaayaan maadhavanE* Bhagawaan has got lovely blue hued ThirumEni (Divine Body). He has got the cute red mouth that sucked the life of demonic pUthanai along with her poisonous breast milk (who had come to kill the infant KaNNan). He is Sri LakshmI Nathan, (Maadhavan) and is gracefully present at ThiruvENkatam, as SrInivaasan.. The first verse in this ten is the most wonderful. I can not resist posting here: 1. kaNNan kazhaliNai* naNNum manamudaiyeer!* eNNum thirunaamam* thiNNam naaraNamE! Sri SatakOpa swears on all that he holds holy that the Narayana mantra is the one for us, if we wish to meditate on the Lord's lotus feet. Oh BhAgawathAs, who has always the thoughts of reaching the Lotus Feet of KaNNan (Parama sowlabhyan- who stooped down to our level and took KrishNAvataar)! You all need to think and meditate only on His name Narayanan.. Nothing else. This is firm and definite. Take it for granted.(NampiLLai greatly talks about this pAsuram: If one spoils an angam or a swaram on other manthrams, there is even a punishment to become brahmaraakshasa. Such fears are not here. It is a simple name and that is Narayana padham. Here AzhwAr says: eNNum thirunaamam.. He did not say eNNum manthram.. Since it is only Thirunaamam, there is no niyamam. Any time and every time- Narayana Narayana. Like a baby utters and blabbers the mother?s name and mother loves it so much. (Special anecdote: After NammAzhwAr departed from this earthly world, MadhurakaviAzhwAr was blessed with a Golden vigraham of NammAzhwAr which he consecrated and performed ThiruvarAdhanA and uthsavams in his honour. He was impressed by nammAzhwAr's works so much that he wanted to stage NammAzhwAr's works in front of other scholars. the sangam poets objected to such claims and praises. NammazhwAr who had no connection with Sangam Madhurakavi, it seems was saddened by this protest and was remorse. NammAzhwar, appeared as an old Brahmin and consoled him saying " Do not worry about these petty issues; You just place this pAsuram of "kaNNan kazhaliNai..." on a kind of wooden boat (sangap palagai) and disappeared. Madhurakavi did the same and the boat -it is told -capsized throwing out all the jealous, haughty poets while it retained only the leaf containing "kaNNan kazhaliNai.."- Such a POWERFUL PASURAM IS THIS! Each of these jealous poets wrote independently one Tamil poem on the glory of our Great NammAzhwAr, which finally turned out to be same one which all others wrote: What a mystery! What an AzhwAr! What a disciple! The verse is as follows: sEmang kurugaiyo seyyathirup pARkadalO nAmam paraangusamo naaraNamo ? thAman thuLavO vaguLamO thOLiraNdO nAngum uLavO peruma umakku" . Are you, (the Kurugaiyoor Piraan) Or Sriman Narayana Himself.)? AzhwAr ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNam Regards Namo narayana dAsan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
