AchAryan: AchAryan
is one, who, out of immense grace imparts true knowledge to the
SishyA-educates him with the secrets of Thriumandhram with the specific intent
of removing Sishyan from samSAram and makes him apt to receive the grace of The
Almighty. Does not Madhurakavi AzhwAr mention ?..payan
anRAgilum-pAngallanAgilum-seyal nanRAgath thiruthip paNi koLvAn?
He also declares in this prabhandham kaNNInun SiruthAmbu ..?dhEAvu mathARiyEan kurugUr nimbi? proclaiming the
faith one has to have in one?s AchAryan and demonstrates this by practice.
While other AzhwAr-s talk of the Lord when He is appearing and fear the
samsAram at other times. Sri Madhurakavi is always stable and steady due to his
steadfast devotion towards his AchAryan. This is clearly mentioned in
SrEvachana BhUshaNam 408:?
vuNda pOdhu oru vArthayum, vuNNAdha pOdhu oru
vArthaiyum solluvAr pathu pear vuNdiRea; avargaLaik koNdanRu ivvartham
aRudhiyiduvahdu; The real philosophy has to be determined not based on the fluctuating
words of ten AzhwAr-s who talk in a happy tone when the Lord appears and talks
grief when He is away. 409-?avargaLaich SirithiruppAr oruvar
vuNdiREa; avar pAsuram koNdu ivvartham
aRudhiyidak kadavOam? The real truth to be followed is to be determined from the one who is
steadfast and steady in his words.The one who followed swAmy Nam-AzhwAr as his
AchAryan and declared that he has got no other Lord than his
Acharyan. ? By his immense causeless mercy, the AchAryan has showered his blessings on me; Put me in the right path. Imparted me The real truth. Taught me the Thirumandhiram and removed me from the SamsAram. Led me to the divine feet of the Lord Almighty and put me into the domain of eternal kainkaryam.What a mammoth upakAram. MaHOpakAram? should be our thoughts regarding AchAryan.
