Thiruvaaimozhi 5.2- Long live these srIvaishNavaas!
From the Bhakti List Archives
• April 16, 1998
SrI: Dearest Sisters and Brothers, In this decad of 5.2, AzhwAr gets excited at SrIvaishNavAs and greets all SrIvaishnavAs, BhakthAs of Emperumaan "pallaaNdu, PallaaNdu". There are two different kinds of introductions from AchAryAs. Emperumaanaar says: When AzhwAr uttered "onRum dEvum.." in 4.10, and established the Parathvam of Emperumaan, the srIvaishNavAs became more ardent bhakthAs of SrIman Narayana and became the object of enjoyment even for NityasUris. AzhwAr saw that and was so excited that he sang ThiruppallaaNdu for SrIvaishnavAs. The version of Alavandhaar is different and that is: To see AzhwAr's SrIvaishNava form, NityasUris came down to the earth. AzhwAr sang mangaLaasaasanam for NityasUris.- Like that Thirumalai Andaan narrated. Both are indeed great anubhavams and are most appropriate. Let us look at AzhwAr's ThiruppallaaNdu at SrIvaishnava bhAgawathAs. I can not resist writing the transliterated version of the first two pAsurams for their lovely words filled with excitement and happiness of AzhwAr. 1. poligha poligha poligha pOyiRRu valluyir saapam/ naliyum naraghamum nandha namanukku inghu yaadhonRum illai/ kaliyum kedum kaNdu koNmin kadal vaNNan bhUthangaL maNmEl/ maliyap pugundhu isai paadi aadi uzhidharak kaNdOm/ The BhagawathAs and devotees of Emperumaan, (the blue hued Ocean coloured Lord,) are the SrIvaishNavaas are now filled in this world, dancing and singing His glories and are seen everywhere by us. Hence, all our sins that can hamper the progress of AthmA have all gone away. The fearsome hell also is no more applicable for us; Hereafter, there is no work for yaman in this world. The dOsham for kaliyugham has also gone. You all will see for yourself. Long live! Long live Long Live! 2. kaNdOm kaNdOm kaNdOm kaNNukkuiniyana kaNdOm/ thoNdeer! Elleerum vaareer! Thozhudhu thozhudhu ninRaartthum/ vaNdaar thaNNanthuzhaayaan madhavan bHuthangaL maNmEl/ paNthaan paadi ninRu aadip paRandhu thirginRanarE/ We have seen these SrIvaishNavaas, who are most worthiest to be seen by our eyes. Oh ThoNdargaLE! (Servants of Sriman Narayana!-) all of you come here! All of you join with me to sing mangaLaasaasanam for BhAgawathAs. Let us prostrate at their feet again and again and arising out of that happiness, let us shout with great joy and enjoyment. (Ahaa ! Enna anubhavam!) The BhakthAs of Madhavan, (who wears the Most fragrant ThuLasi maalai), are dancing and singing his Glories. 3. Kaliyug is capable of corrupting everything and everyone's minds with dirt and ills; Such a kalyug will no more exist and the mood and nature of the Most Divine Krutha yugham is being brought by these SrIvaishNavaas with their existence and singing and dancing on Lord's Glories. Even NityaSUris are here to witness these SrIvaishNvaas' excitement and bhakti. Everywhere, SrIvaishNavam has spread and spanned (Very true! Even across the Net, it is being spread so widely; Look at the rich scenes and history of SrIrangam brought out so beautifully by Sri Sadagopan, and the excellent narration of Dayasathakam by Sri Krishnamachari,). 4. The other religions that were established at different places have all been won over and are being corrected by SrIvaishNavaas. They dance and sing Emperumaan's glories and are going everywhere to spread SrIvaishNavam. When these BhAgawathAs go around singing His Glories, at some places they settle down; at some places, they just stop by; some places they just pass by; They bend themselves, jump and dance with their legs going up the sky. 5. Oh Guys, who are involved with the servitude to Non-SrIvaishNavaas! I can see in front of my eyes what these SrIvaishnavaas are going to do to you all. I know what they are upto. With their eternal servitude to Sriman Narayanan, they are going to transform the entire kalyug. They are going to replace the nature of kalyug with that of krutham. They are going to destroy you even (means your vibharItha jnAnam); There is no doubt about it. Hence, if you are born as asurA or rAkshasA, beware! there is no escape for you all. 6. Since SrIvaishNvaas, the devotees of SrIman Narayana are spreading everywhere and are now here, there will be no more sorrows in this world. The diseases, enmity, hunger will all vanish. These bhAgawathAs are dancing and singing Emperumaan's glories are existing everywhere now. Oh ThondargalE! Concentrate your mind on these SrIvaishnavaas and follow their good path of devotion and pay obeisance to SarvEshwaran to get saved! 7. When DevathAs whom you have in your hearts protect you, they do not, by themselves have the inherent capacity of protection. They protect you all, only with the mercy and grace from Emperumaan KaNNapiraan (on Them). The example for that phenomenon is MarkaNdEya puraaNam. There can be no doubt about it in your mind. ("kaRuttha manam onRum vENdaa"). There is NO GOD SUPERIOR to KaNNan. Also, even when you perform the daily anushtaananghaL on other dEvathAs, they all reach Him since these dEvathAs are His sarIram only. Consider as if these daily anushtaanams are the Thiruvaaraadhanam to Emperumaan KaNNan and perform them to those dEvatAs. 8. Sriman Narayanan, The One who has Periya Piraatti and SrIvatsam in His chest, as the Chief of DevAs and other demi Gods, has appointed these dEvathAs to carry out various activities and duties. People, due to their past karmAs and puNya paapams accrued over the ages, have been praying to their respective dEvathAs and get protected. Emperumaan, the Chief of these DevathAs is being praised by SrIvaishnavaas now everywhere in this world. You also join them to become the servants of Emperumaan SrIman Narayanan. 9. This world is now filled with BhAgawathA and adiyaars. (BhAgawathAs, who sing in praise of His glories and Adiyaars, who are and always wish to be His servants like BharatAzhwAn and LakshmaNa muni respectively). Such SrIvaishnavaas pay obeisance to SrIman Narayanan. They recite the most purest vEdhas like Purusha sUkhtham etc., and are highly devoted to Emperumaan. They perform Thiruvaaraadhanam with dhUpam, dheepam, Sandal paste, flowers and Holy water. You also pay respects and obeisance to such SrI vaishNavaas and get saved! (here Emperumaanar says: AzhwAr asks us to join SrIvaishnavaas to pay obeisance to Emperumaan Sriman Narayanan. Alavandhhar says: AzhwAr asks us to become servants to SrIvaishNavaas to get saved- "mEvithozhudhu uyyumin"!- we should do both; Shouldn't we?) 10. In all these worlds, everywhere, including Sivan, BrahmA, Indran and other dEvAs, all have been paying obeisance to KaNNa Piraan's Most Beautiful Divya ManghaLa vigraham. If you also, like them, worship KaNNan, My Emperumaan, all ills of kalyug will get removed. 11. SrI SadagOpar has sung thousand pAsurams on Emperumaan, who has the brightest most beautiful Divine ThirumEni and who is also a Maayan, who showers His most merciful glances at His bhakthAs and removes completely the ills and sorrows of His devotees (arising out of kalyug nature). Out of those 1000, those who read these ten pasurams will have no vibharIta jnAnam in their minds. In the fifth pAsuram, AzhwAr says "kaRuttha manam vENdaa" means have no wrong concept or doubt in your minds. Here he implies the jIvAthman's servitude to Emperumaan who is PraNva poruL and its nature of being His property naturally. It refers to ananyaarha sEshathvam. When AzhwAr says "mEvitthozhudhu uyyumin" in the ninth pAsuram, he refers to nama: shabdham and when AzhwAr says concentrate your mind in the sixth, he refers to the Purushaartham - "Narayana" shabdham in ThiruashtAksharam. That is the reason AzhwAr says those who read these ten pAsurams, especially its meanings, will have no vibharIta jnAnam (it will cut asunder the dirt from the minds- "maasaRukkum") due to the excellent reference to Thirumanthram.
