Dear All,
Pranams!
Due to the Grace of HH Sri Kaliyan Vanamamalai Ramanuja Jeeyar Swami, aDiyEn
started to write on Azhagiya Manavala Perumal Nayanar's sutram in Acharya
Hridayam sometime back. Since aDiyEn was not subscribed to Ramanuja list that
time. Hence aDiyEn is taking the liberty of forwading those postings now to
keep in the loop.
--------------------------------------------------
Out of 108 Divya Desams, 3 are considered to be very important in our
sampradAyam. They are Koil, Thirumalai and PerumAl Koil. One interesting and
common trend in all these three Divya Desams is the kaimkaryams done by great
BhaktAs and the great souls who followed each one of them. This has been told
by NayanAr in his AchArya Hridayam as:
'Pushpa, ThyAGA, BhOga Mandapangalil Panippoovum, Alavattamum, Veenaiyam
KaiyumAna Antharangarai Mudi Mannavarum, VaidigOttamarum, MahAmuniyum
anuvartita kramam'
Thirumalai is known as Pushpa mandapam. KAnchi is known as ThyAga mandapam and
Srirangam is known as BhOga mandapam. Following is the order of the Divya
Desams, the BhaktAs who performed kaimkaryam and the great souls who followed
each of them.

Pushpa Kurumbarutha Nambi Pushpa Kaimkaryam ThondamAn

BhOga ThiruppAnAzhwar Singing
LokaSAranga muni
There is one common feature among the people who did kaimkaryam and the people
who followed them.
The people who followed the BhaktAs were born in either Kshtria kulam or
Brahmin kulam, where as the people who performed kaimkaryams were born in so
called lower class of the society. People who followed the BhaktAs exactly
followed NammAzhwar's pasuram in the NedumArku adimai seydhu pathikam of
ThiruvAymozhi.
There is an interesting aspect about why these Divya Desams are called like
this and what is the reason for the king and two Brahmins to follow those great
BhaktAs.
aDiyEn plans to write about these aspects based on what aDiyEn has heard from
upanyAsams from present day scholars in our sampradAyam.
Any mistake committed here is purely aDiyEn's and not anyone else's. You all
are most welcome to correct and suggest changes.
aDiyEn,
ramanan
