Thiruvaaimozhi 3.7- I AM DAASAANU DAASAN OF HIS BHAKTHAS!
From the Bhakti List Archives
• March 5, 1998
SRI: Dearest Sisters and Brothers, When AzhwAr was feeling depressed at the sight of the materialists running amuck after material pursuits and after gratification of sensual desires, Emperumaan shows him His bhAgawathALs and makes the AzhwAr feel happy and excited with these many number of His devotees and parama bhAgawathALs. Immediately, AzhwAr gets thrilled and says "I am always the humble servant for these SrivaishNavAs and also the servant for their servants." He describes these servitude aspects in this Thiruvaaimozhi decad of 3.7. This is also addressed as "sathruknan padi" due to the servitude of sathruknAzhwAn who was always the Most obedient and Most humble servant of our BharathAzhwAn. 1. The Most unbounded and limitless lustre of light and the embodiment of jyOthi is My Emperumaan, who has the Most Beautiful Lotus eyes. The Lord, who is having His yOganithrA on AdhisEshan in ThiruppARkadal (Milk Ocean), is the invaluable, unmeasurable wealth of His bhAgawathAs. Such bhAgawathAs, IRRESPECTIVE OF WHICH VARANASHRAM OR WHICH TYPE OF BIRTH THEY HAVE, (Dear ones, Please note this! I repeat, please NOTE THIS!) are my masters and I am their servants for ALL MY BIRTHS. (The essence is those who get themselves soaked and immersed in Emperumaan’s Beauty and His Most Auspicious attributes (guNAs) ARE all my masters- AchAryAs.) 2. OppArilappan (the unparallelled Swami) is My KaNNan, who rules us always. He is the One who captures our hearts with His Divine Beauty of His holding the ChakrA gracefully. He is the Most Purest Emerald Stone, who shows Himself most gorgeously with His Four lovely shoulders. Those bhAgawathAs who pray with both their hands and worship such Emperumaan deeply are all my most revered Masters who enslave me in all my births. They are my Chiefs. 3. My Emperumaan, the One who is the Chief of everyone and every being, is the Only one who is worshipped by this world and the heavenly world (dEvAs). He, the One who wears the Most Fragrant tuLasi garland, has got the Most Graceful Divine chakrA in His hand. Those who are able to pay obeisance to Such Emperumaan and take refuge at His Feet are all "parama bhAgawathAs". And THOSE WHO TAKE REFUGE AT THESE BHAGAWATHAS and PAY RESPECTS AND OBEISANCE TO THEM are MY MASTERS. (Do you notice? AzhwAr says "He is the servant of servants of bhAgawathALs"). 4. Emperumaan shows Himself Most Gorgeously, Most Beautifully wearing His PeethAmbharam, wearing the Lovely Golden hAram (necklace) on His wide massive chest, wearing the ‘araijnAN’ in His waist and the matching Golden pooNool (upaveedham) across the body. The Golden crowned Lord Sriman Narayanan’s bhAgawathAs’ bhAgawathAs hace enslaved me totally. They are the only ones who are my masters in all of my births. 5. Emperumaan is the Chief of those GREATEST bhAgawathAls, NityasUris. He made dEvAs eat the nectar (amirtham) during those times. Those who talk always about the Greatness of Such Emperumaan and those bhakthA who always talk in praise of such BhAgawathAs are the only ones to protect and save us in this birth and all our future births as well. 6. KaNNapiraan, by His very nature, protects us and saves us. He has the Most Strongest Divine ChakrA weapon in His hand. He wears the Most fragrant, honey dripping, thuLasi maalai on His chest. He is like The Most Purest MANickkam. Those devotees (of His), who always keep Him in their hearts, and pay obeisance to Him, My Emperumaan, are all My Masters. They, without getting BORED with me, will always enslave me and save me NOT ONLY IN THIS BIRTH, ALSO ALL MY FUTURE BIRTHS. 7. My Emperumaan- My Father is the One who removes the disease of Births and Deaths for His bhakthAs and saves them from their future births with His Grace. He enables them also to serve Him and perform eternal kaimkaryam at Srivaikuntam. Such an "upakaaran" (Most helpful Lord) - Those who can praise His such Most Greatest qualities are all My savours. They alone are capable of saving me from these samsaaric ills. 8. Emperumaan is the Most Credible One. (RaamO dwirnaabhibhAshathE- Rama never talks twice. Satyavrathan- drutavrathan). Creator of all. One who has Periya Piraatti in His chest. He can NOT be understood and known even by dEvAs. Even if those who are suffering in Hell (narakam) utter His names and praise Him, they all are to be worshipped by me and my kulam (Group). (here, Narakam i.e. Hell are to be understood as OUR MATERIALISTIC WORLD- I remember once, Sri Mani (about a couple of years back, while discussing in this forum about Heaven and Hell,) also interpreted that hell may mean the present world of turbulent samsaaric lives and afflictions.). And they all are My Masters always. 9. There are Four varNAs among men which were distinguished based on their duties to be discharged. (like BrahmaNa, Kshathriya, Vaishya, Sudra). (There is also a big discussion in this Forum on this varNAshram - please browse the archives. ). If there is someone who belongs to the sect that is lower than these four sects (namely, the untouchable, "chaNdALa"- ThirumazhisaiAzhwAr, ThiruppANAzhwAr are reported to belong to this sect- We have read the events due to that and the attainment of their supremacies due to their devotion to the Lord - here again, there were HEAVY Discussions on these aspects in Bhakti archives!), and if that low caste person becomes the bhakthA of My Lord, HE IS MY DEIVAM (GOD) because their God is My NarayaNan. (AzhwAr is unequivocally telling us NOT TO LOOK AT THE BIRTH/CASTE/ or as to whether he is from Vangheepuram, or Srirangam, kancheepuram, vadagalai, thengalai, smArthA, vadamA, etc., etc., . As long as he is an ardent, sincere devotee of Sriman NarayaNan, He is to be considered even more respectfully than NarayaNan and NO BHAAGAWATHAPACHARAM SHALL BE COMMITTED.- An excellent verdict from none other the jnAni, Our Sweet NammAzhwAr - Let us try to practice this, sisters and brothers! and shed our prejudiced opinions!) 10. He retained the universe in His stomach. (How is that possible? It is because the universe in its entirety was measured by His just one step. If such is the case, It is very much possible to retain the universe in His stomach. ) Equally, He slept on the small leaf of the Banyan tree with the universe in His stomach. What can I talk about such Greatness of this opillAdha appan ("peerless"). (Nampillai purports that even yasOdhA’s kutti kaNNan, who drank her breastmilk, is NOT even equal to Him). Those who are the devotees and bhakthAs of such Great Emperumaan are my masters and I am their servant for all my births. 11. The duryOdhanAs, the Hundred GauravAs got their power to rule and were well settled. Even then, He, made them get destroyed to dust and showered His grace on His devotees, the Five pANdavAs. About such Emperumaan, the Nedumaal, Thirukkurugoor SadaGopan has sung 1000 pAsuam in praise of Him. Out of those 1000, those who read these TEN pAsurams (which talk about the Greatness of His bhakthAs) WILL NOT TAKE ANY MORE BIRTH AND BE SAVED FOREVER.
