From the Bhakti List Archives

Madhavakkannan V • December 22, 2002 


SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnavas,

With girl who joined them, they go the  next house to wake up another girl. 
“The day has begun. Let us go to Yamuna, perform ArAdhanam and enjoy 
Krishnan.
No response.
With such loud noise does it not reach you ears?
What is that loud noise?
The men and women from srivaikuntam have come in groups and talk in loud 
voices. Like the Anaichaathans (bids) talking.. Anaichaathaan is a bird 
known for the beauty of its eyes. [This also in interpreted to refer to the 
great Acharyas endowed with the beautiful eyes
of wisdom  ( jnAnak kaNN).
These Anaicchaathans are BhAradwAja pakshis – When Bharathan visited Rama at 
Chithra kootam, all ayOdhA residents came with him and they were treated as 
BhAgawathas by Sage BharadwAja. Thus, they became blessed to receive the 
thadhIyArAdhanai. Today, now that the same Lord is here as Krishnan, those 
ayOdhA vaasis are here as Anaichaathans.
The Parathvam comes in such simple accessible form as KaNNan, to hug and 
kiss all of us- the illiterate and simpletons of cowherd folks.
These Anaichaathans are shouting as to why only few girls have got up to see 
such greatest Lord in such Sowlabhya form? Why are others still sleeping? Is 
our loud lamenting not heard by them?

Do not brush aside that these are just birds. They talk in large numbers are 
hence you can not comprehend. Simialr to Veda paarayanam, Divya Prabandha 
paaraayaNam, Grantha chathushtayam, - all being recited at the same place 
and will be one great divine loud hymn.. like Keesu Kessu.. Also 
Srivaishnavas talk in Deva Bhashai which is like Keesu Keesu to our ears.

Okay. You are not hearing their loud noise. But canÂ’t you hear our yelling?- 
They get angry. Oh Pey penne.. Has some ghost caught you up and stopped you 
from joining BhAgawatha ghOshti?
StillÂ… No response.
They say: Can you not hear at elast the cowherd women churning the curd to 
extract butter? Such noise – does it not reach your ears? When they churn 
their ornaments make such musical tingling sounds? They look at the Beauty 
of KaNNan with their eyes, singing his glories and churn. DoesnÂ’t that song 
reach your ears?
You may be hundred times better than us with swaroopa jnAnam, Para jnAnam 
and Bhagavath anubhavam. But this is unfair? Are you having ahankaaram?
Krishnan should be woken up by us now.
Why now? YasodhA will be there- you may wonder. But donÂ’t you know? Already 
the butter churning sound is heard. KaNNan will be busy with those butter. 
When the women are there, ho can he go? Simple. He will knock the front door 
and enter through the back door to finish the butter.
She still does not get up.
She has tremendous Bhakti for KaNNan and love for Him. So they decide to 
talk about His greatness.
NARAYANAN MOORTHI KESAVANAI- Kaha iti Brahmano Nama, Eesoham Sarva Dehinaam 
/ Aavaam Tava Angeshu Sambuthou/ Tasmaath Kesave Naamavaan'. The Rudra 
himself admits that both himself and Brahma were born out of the limbs of 
Narayana. Hence, he is called Kesava.

Still she does not get up. They thought she had already gone to Yamuna. And 
hence someone looked through the window into her room. She was slowly 
opening her eyes. Everyone looks to see ger happy charming shining face. 
(dhEsamudiayaay- Ih shining one..thEjasvI)
Why is your face so glittering and beaming?
She says: I could not sleep for few hours- was excited at todayÂ’s Yamuna, 
and seeing KaNNan etc.. So, I kept walking up and down waiting for the dawn 
to come. I was thinking joyously of our ArAdhanam for KaNNan. Midnight 
passed. I dozed off. I am sorry, I have over slept and made you wait.

But your face glows because of your constant thinking of todayÂ’s ArAdhanam 
on KaNNan. We only talked all abusive words about you when you did not 
respond. We called you names. We seek forgiveness. BhAgawatha apachAram- 
even when someone (BhAgawatha) is not there, if we talk badly about him, it 
is still BhAgawatha apcharam. He (PerumAL- the Lord) gets angry with it. He 
punishes us when we commit BhAgawatha apacharam. Hence, please forgive us 
for calling you “pEy penne..”.

Oh not. I am pEY peNN only. Otherwise, would I have slept like this with so 
many of you- devotees of Lord Krishna waiting for me. I did not even respond 
for your pleas to get up. You all should forgive me.- thus spoke that 
thEjasvI friend.
And they proceed.
