Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha  -Srimathe Nigamantha Mahadesijkaya Namaha - Srimathe Sri Lakshminarasimha Divya Paduka Sevaka Srivansatakopa Sri Narayana Yateendra Mahadesikaya Namaha

Nanmathi VAindha NallOrgalE,

Dasasya Vigyapanam. It may be recalled that Nrisimha appeared from the pillar the moment the asura king hit it. Was the instant Avathara to protect his boy devotee Prahladha or to tear to pieces his demonic father? Neither.When Prahladha was thrown into the sea, pushed down the hills, given poison, trampled by elephants, put into the raging fire, or attacked by fierce snakes, though the boy devotee was protected by Sriman Narayana's sankalpa, the Lord himself did not appear on the scene. But surely he manifested at the exact moment when Hiranyaksha smashed the pillar.Why? The reason (given by our elders) is The Lord appeared to keep up the word of His boy devotee who said The Lord is omnipresent (Engumulan Kannan). This one illustration is enough to prove Who the Supreme Being is. Again When Gajendra wailed in agony and called "Aadhimoolame" in a distress signal, Who  but Sriman Narayana rushed (dragging even his Vahana Garuda) to the rescue of that elephant king. Aadhimoolame is a term which does not specifically refer to any deity Vishnu, Siva, Brahma or Indra. Because the origin or the original source and cause (Adhimoolam) applied to Sri Maha Vishnu only ie., Sriman Narayana, He alone by virtue of His omnipotency in all respects spontaneously responded to the agonising call of his animal devotee who desired to offer a lotus flower in all sincerety in spite of the torure inflicted by the clutching crocodile. Other deities did not respond at all and were inwardly praising the Supreme Being who went to the rescue of that animal with such a great compassion. All our Acharyas and Azhwars repeatedly glorify the supremacy of Sriman Narayana by quoting these two episodes. Can there still be doubt in the minds of Bhagavathas? Dasan Devanathan

>Thanks for your foreword. Interestingly, today morning I tuned into Jaya TV
>and they were telecasting a upanyAsam of Srimadh Azhagiasingar. As if to
>clear our doubts , he clearly quoted the pAsuram "kAkkum iyalvinan kaNNa
>perumAn..", means , it is kaNNan who has the 'saviour character' by nature.
>So why to go to any other devathAs. Additionally he added, even within the
>avatArAs of Sriman nArAyaNan, the best saviour is Narasimhan. Not Rama,
>not Krishna. The reason is of course, it was only Narasimhan who destroyed
>the enemy (HiraNyakasibhu) of His devotee (PrahalAdha) immediately when the
>avathArA was made. Rama killed Ravana only at 37 years of age. Even
>Krishna, when He killed the sakaTAsuran, He was either 4 or 5 months old as
>told by Sri periyAzhwAr "nAlgaLOr nAlainthu thingaLaLavilE, thALai
>nimirtthuch chagadatthaich chADippOi..."

>While pondering over this the following pAsuram of ThiruvAimozhi and the
>explanation given by Sri Velukkudi Krishnan swami came into my mind.

> nAdi nAdi narasingA enRu
> vAdi vAdum ivvaNudalE"

>Continuation.

>Here, why the AzhwAr does not say " engum nAdi nAdi rAmA or KrishNa".
>Because for the same reason as stated above by Srimadh Azhagiasingar, it
>was only Narasimha who came to the help of His devotee immediately, true to
>word of the same AzhwAr in another pAsuram "... angu appozhudE avan veeya
>thOndRiya, en singappirAn perumai ArAyum seernaitthE".

>I hope no more clarification is required after these words from the Jeeyar
