Thirukannapuram and Munayadarayan Pongal

After seeing the sleeping beauty of Vishnu as Lord Ranganatha at Srirangam, Vibheeshna wanted to see the walking beauty of the Lord, upon which he was directed by the Lord to his “Keezh(akku) Veedu’ (Eastern Gateway of the Lord). It is believed that Lord Vishnu displayed his ‘walking beauty’ to Vibheeshana here on the new moon day. To mark this event, on every Amavasya day at 12noon, Lord SowriRajan is carried out of the Sanctum and walks to the Vibheeshna Sannidhi.

Periya Koil Nambi to Thiruvarangatthu AmudhanAr ” by Jagath Acharyar Swamy Ramanuja’s grace..

SREEE  Amongst the several revered disciples of Jagath Acharyar  Swamy Ramanujar Swami  AmudhanAr  earlier  known as Peria Koil Nambi  was  transformed    disciple of  JagathaAcharyar .  

.facebook_1492566300794

Nambi  appeared in “mungirkkudi” on  Panguni Hastham  day in  Srirangam which  coincides to be today March 22 2019. 

He became the most  dearest  disciple of Swamy Ramanuja .

 

.facebook_1492694384362

However , before becoming a disciple  of Swamy Ramanuja  ,  he was  the  Head Priest at Lord Sri Ranganathar   Temple, Srirangam .

 

   Filled with  pride  due to his position in the temple he had no   respect  towards Acharya  Swamy Raamanuja . 

wp-1490064813720.jpg

He used to get  upset  with Swamy’s  raising popularity .Out of ego he placed many obstacles in the routine of temple services  while  Swamy   followed during the temple administration.

.facebook_1492608939894

 Swami Ramanuja was upset with his approach that obstructed the services to Lordships .   Swami wished that   Nambi   must be  relocated  in any other service  in the temple for smooth functioning  . This will help in continuing the service to LORD  and  the smooth running of the affairs of the temple was ensured.

ramanujaaa However , Lord  Ranganathar had some other plans for Nambi   . He  appeared in  Swami Ramanuja’s dream and  commanded , that the temple priest  Periya Koil Nambi  was   serving him past several years and is dependent on  him . 

Hence , he must be taken care off  in all  reverence   .

.facebook_1492995023330Swami Ramanuja shared his dream with his  close disciple Kuresan and concluded that the Lord did not want him to dismiss Periya Koil Nambhi from the present  service ,  instead   Lord wanted Nambi to be engaged in some other kainkaryam close to him .

aaaaaaKuresan responded  to Acharyars request and felt  that the Lord wanted  Swamy Ramanuja to correct the flaws of Nambi and instead  engage him in Acharyar kaimkaryams .

IMG_20160410_132612Swamy Raamanuja suggested that Kuresan himself  should correct Nambi’s destructive ways and bring him back to the fold of Bhagavathas.  Kuresan accepted the suggestion of his Acharyan as commanded  and engaged the scholarly Periya Koil Nambi in discussions  daily inside the temple and slowly   changed  his attitude in pure  devotional service  .

3One day ,  Nambi’s mother passed away and   he  was performing her Charama kaimkaryam  in seclusion. This happened  due to  his  arrogant behavior. Many vaishnavas avoided to officiate the ceremonies which he had invited .

kkuu

This news reached Swamy  Ramanuja  . Swamy realized the desperate state  of Nambi  and suggested that Kuresan  must take part in the ceremony and bring  some change in him  .

In this important shraddha ceremony which is performed  on the eleventh day, the brahmin is considered as pretatma and fed sumptously.  To ensure that the pretatma leaves without any unfulfilled desire, it is customary to ask whether he is satisfied.  The kartha would be obliged to fulfill his desire so that the soul progresses without hindrance.  

” I am satisfied with the offerings given by the kartha  ( doer )

IMG_20160410_132119

However , when that stage arrived, Kuresan  remained silent  and did not reply the  expected word of  ……

“ThrupthAsma :” (  meaning he was satisfied) .

Nambi was deeply disturbed and  hence pleaded   …..

My  Master … Kuresaa

What  needs to be done to satisfy you swamin  ? 

Kooresan replied 

Swamin …. Kindly  hand over the temple keys for taking up kainkaryam … and Periakovil Nambi had to oblige.  Kooratazwan handed over the keys  to  Swamy Ramanujar. 

Acharyar advised  Kuresa and Mudaliandan to make the necessary corrections ensuring that all the festivals and upachaaras  are conducted with pomp and show .

Nambi was glad that the responsibility was handed over to a advanced devotee like Kuresar. Nambi   liked  Kuresar  unstinting devotion to LORD

kooresa

.facebook_1492955845441

.The daily rituals performed meticulously with utmost devotion  made Nambi change his attitude towards the devotees and especially Swamy Ramanuja

IMG_20160410_132035

Lord Ranganatha was very pleased with the turn of events.   . Looking at the change in behaviour of Nambi ,  Kuresan  requested  Nambi  to accompany him to Ashram  and both of them went to   Swamy Raamanuja’s  .  Nambi  surrendered to the lotus  feet of Swamy Ramanuja with repentance .

.facebook_1492741866882

Acharya Ramanuja was overjoyed at the transformation in Nambi  and recognized that extraordinary scholarship .

He   recommended that Kuresan become the Acharyan to Nambi instead of him.

SREE

The changed personality and his  sweetness of speech  earned him  the name of “AmudhanAr”  by Swamy Ramanuja himself .

11

From then on, Periya Koil Nambi came to be known as ” Thiruvarangatthu AmudhanAr “. He was also addressed with reverence as “PiLLai AmudhanAr”. AmudhanAr  coming very close to Swamy Ramanuja and his Acharyar Sri Kooresar was moved by the dayaa of  Swamy RaamAnuja and  with utmost devotion composed the 108 paasurams of Sri Raamanuja Noorrandhathi and recited in front of  Lord NamperumaL.

112

Lord Ranganatha commanded Swamy RamAnuja not to accompany Him on His Raaja Veedhis  procession . He also advised not to play any Naadaswaram ,   and stopped all  the musical instruments .He commanded the  Sri Vaishnavas to recite Raamanuja Noorrandhathi.

.facebook_1492741917637

From then on, Noorrandhathi is recited after Iyarppaa  Prabhandam at Perumal and Thayar sannidhis as per  the command of Lord  NamperumAL. Acharya Ramanuja obeyed the wish of Lord RanganAthA and included the recital of NooRRandhAthi at the end of Iyarppaa recitation, just as KaNNinuNN SiRutthAmpu is recited at the end of Mudal Aayiram.

ramanuja

Thus AmudhanAr is to AchArya RaamAnujA just as Madhura Kavi is to Swamy NammAzhwAr. The two prabhandhams by Madhura kavi and Thiruvarangatthu AmudhanAr are like Naayaka rathnams adorning the gem necklace.

ramanuja

In Sri In VaishNava sampradhAyam, AchAryan is recognized as the avathAra visesham of Sriman NaarAyaNan.Therefore, one worships one’s AchAryan in  form of  Perumal .

FB_IMG_1491578486175-1

In every one of his NooRRandhAthi paasurams, AmudhanAr placed the ThirunAmAm of Swamy RaamAnusar for our benefit.

iniyenn kuRai namakkemperumAnAr ThirunAmatthAl muni tanatha nooRRettu SAAVITHRI yennu nuNNporuLai kani tantha senjcholl KalithuraiyandhAthi paaDithanthAn punithan ThiruvarangatthamuthAhiya PuNNiyanE

(meaning We have nothing missing in our lives , now that we have the prapanna Gavathree — the 108 pasurams of RaamAnuja nooRRandhAthi celebrating our AchAryan’s sacred name in andhAthi, blessed by puNya moorthi , ThiruvarangatthamudanAr .

.facebook_1492134564331

Meditating on the deep meanings of this Prabhandham , we do not have any more wants in this world . We do not lack any thing.

This prabhandham is otherwise called as Prapanna Gayathri, i.e it is the gayathri manthra to all Prapannaas the ones who have surrendered . (Prapanna is a sanskrit word that means complete surrender/dedication.) to LORD lotus feet..

IMG_20190320_202803.jpg

A prapanna is one who has totally surrendered at the lotus  feet of Lord  Sriman Narayana.  Our most  revered  Acharyar  Swamy  Pillai Lokacharya lists the qualities of a prapanna in  his works .

ttty

A Prapanna  must not wish that harm should befall the one who has caused him anguish. He must feel sorry for the tormentor, for even if he forgives the tormentor, the Lord will not forgive one who has tormented His devotee.

swamy ramanuja at Tirumala

The prapanna must laugh at the one who hurts him, because the tormentor has not realised that no hindrance can be caused to the prapanna’s attainment of moksha. The prapanna also laughs at such people, because of their ignorance.

img-20161117-wa0032.jpg

They think that a prapanna cares about worldly problems, when actually such things do not bother him. Pillai Lokacharya further says that we should actually be grateful to those who harm our bodies and our material possessions.

 

 

A prapanna thinks of the body and of material wealth as enemies. So if a person harms any of these, he is actually harming the prapanna’s enemies! The prapanna is also grateful to those who harm him in this world, because they make him aware of his faults.

  A Prapanna woul be feeling  Look … “At a time when I have forgotten my flaws, here is someone who has reminded me of them. So I must be grateful to him ” . .

 

 

 Naalooraan was the one, at whose instigation, a Chola king blinded Kooratazhvan. But Kooratazhvan prayed to Lord Varadaraja that Naalooran too should be granted moksha. Kooratazhvan is an example of one who wanted someone who had harmed him also to be blessed. Such is the attitude of a prapanna.

 

 

            It is said , Once  amudanAr  while    penning  this prabandha  Swamy rAmAnuja came along  with his  disciples .

The lovely  pASura  ‘sezhundirai   pArkaDal’ was written and he was about to write the next one……. ‘iruppiDam vaihundam’. 

With great love seeing Acharyar ,  swamy  wrote the next three pASuras in presence  of Swamy  rAmAnujar  and  others.

 

 

His  AchArya  AzhwAn  said  these  three pASuras  would be chanted as SATTru  pASuras       (whereas  in other prabandhas only the last two are SATTru pASuras).

This practice is still followed.

 

 

  Elders advise to meditate on Swamy Ramanujas thirumeni mentally as all the Poorvacharyas are his personification .The  comparisions is made as follows .All the holy thirumeni is equated with revered Acharyas …..

Jai Jai Ramakrishna Hari “… The Lord’s Name is eternal ………………..rest all is ephemeral” Bhaktha Tukaram

To enable the assembled devotees who stand far away from the tree, the temple authorities have tied a red flag as an indication. When the breeze gently blows, the red flag moves which can be witnessed by everyone. The assembled devotees continuously sing the abhangs and as noon approaches, the fervor and intensity of the bhajans increases. Words cannot describe the sight. One has to personally witness this incident. We were there … to receive Our Bhaktha Tukaram’s blessings …What a journey it was ..

Sadhu Satsangh ki Jai ..

Bhaktha Tukaram ki Jai

Pillai Urangavilli Dasar the disciple of Swamy Ramanuja .. ..whose wisdom was blinded with deep love for the Supreme Lord.. a divine pastime

Please know that caste is of no importance..
It is the virtue that is most important and prized .
This is why I say ….
Even River Cauvery cannot clean me completely.

But this man’s touch can purify me.
That’s why I lean on him when I return from the river.
Villi, my child ….. please teach these people how to love.”

……….Song of GOVINDA………. Lord Krishna and the great devotee Santh Jayadevar

  
 Kendubilva is a small village near to  LORD  Jagannatha Kshetram Puri , and 25 kms to Bhuvaneshwar .    This is the holy place  where the great devotee  Jayadevar appeared .
.facebook_1532485090037.jpg110593582.jpg
                   The village became  more prominent and famous by the presence of  the great devotee Jayadevar  for his devotion to the Supreme  Lord .

 

          Jayadevar learnt all the Vedic scriptures at an young age .  He was   complete into devotional services .
Always immersed in Lord’s divine leela , he ignored  material wealth or associations.  When he came of marriageable age, his parents were searching for a bride  so as to bring him into family fold .
wp-1479001875249.jpeg
                             Jayadeva’s was  not keen in entering family life  . He  remained all  alone, always in  thoughts of the great  Lord Jagganatha  divine pastimes and avoided family commitments .
facebook_1548864647072.jpg
His parents pleaded him to get married  as they were getting old  .
Jayadevar did not agree  as he felt that it  would hinder his dedication to Lord Jagganatha 
Days rolled by.    
Jayadevar continued his devotional services  going places , His parents were getting old and  passed away.
001
Jayadevar was now all alone.
He moved away and resided near to the temple  and was performing  srimad bhagavath  parayanam.  
He  lived on Unchavrutti accepting what Lord Jaggantha sends him through his devotees  He was with niyama  performing his karmanustams and was steadfast in his activities.
But  Lord Jagganatha  had other ideas.
rain
Near to the village ,  there was another  devotee  by name Devasharma.
Devasharma prayed Lord  that if he  had a son he would offer him to Lord  to perform  devotional  services  in the temple of  Lord Jagannatha at Puri..
IMG_20181111_083611.jpg
  Lord , however  graced  him a  with girl child.
The bubbly  child was named Padmavathi.  She was trained in all household chores and devotional service from her childhood.    
  Padmavathi came of marriageable age.
He proceeded to  Sri Jagannathar temple  and prayed LORD  as to what he could do to fulfill the promise he made as he had a daughter who will not be allowed inside the temple for HIS service  .
jagannath-temple-puri-1
He  prayed Lord !!!  I dont know the way, how will you take this girl, he asked with tearful eyes.
Being tired he slept that night near the temple.
  Lord  appeared in his dream and said, “Oh Devasharma ..
We  appreciate your bhakthi,  and  will  definitely take your daughter for our  services  and will tell you the way how.
Me and my  devotee  are no different.
As you only wanted to perform the service  , well………., you can do the same to my  devotee  for a long long time.
jai jai jai
 Our adorable devotee  is Jayadevar who is living very near to  you .
Please approach him and accept him as your bridegroom.
Give Padmavathi in marriage to Jayadevar”.
Having heard this  Devasharma was quite pleased that his prayers are  fulfilled.
He returned to his village.
Looking at his daughter he said   …. my dear child .. padma …
 LORD  has given his blessings and mentioned the name of her husband.
 He proceeded  to the ashram of Jayadevar  and introduced himself  . He requested Jayadevar to accept his daughter as his wife .
jaai
 Jayadevar  a  sincere devotee   did not argue or answer him .  He  just left looking walking  towards temple .
Devasharma however did not feel bad  as he had faith in LORD’s   instructions .
He went home  called Padmavathi and told 
My dear  child “Padma……Please come with me now …. He went towards Jayadevar’s ashram and showed the ashram of  Jayadevar and said …
Look there ,  the effulgent face with divine look  who is walking towards the temple ..
..Yes  he is your husband henceforth .
Its Lord Jagganthar’s sankalpam that you be married to him  for a divine cause .
Serve him as you are serving the LORD himself . Its my final wish  my child …
jaya jaya jaya
Padmavathi obeyed her father’s instructions implicitly.
Normally Jayadevar would rise early everyday, have his  bath  from the nearby stream . He would  perform japa  and walk back to his Ashram .
Padma  would come  to his ashram  sweep the surroundings , water the plants , pluck flowers, clean the pooja vessels , clean the altar and leave the ashram before Jayadevar returns 
jaiiiio
Jayadevar after finishing his japa would return  and see everything in the ashram transformed .
Very much surprised , he believed some devotee is serving Lord .
The services continued  and a month passed by.  Jayadevar  liked  his ashram being  kept clean and neat and  being a brahmachari he appreciated this very much.
IMG_20150920_104943
He felt the need to inquire and find out all about this and once identified who it was he wanted to do something in return for the favor and if  she had any  desires  he wanted to bless her with that.
Thinking thus one day he arrived a bit early to his ashram and saw Padmavathi
DSC_0018
Jayadevar hardly had looked at her   He now inquired about her name and where she was from and what she wanted and the reason why she was serving this ashram.
His questions were without any preamble just like Dasaratha had asked Vishwamitra.
Padmavathi replied that she always wanted to do some service   to  Lord Jaggantahar  for a long long time and serving his devotee will make her LORD more  happy.
Janaki+Kund,+chitrakut
He then understood why such a question had been asked by him and why such an answer was received as probably the bhagawan‘s wish. He understood the divine motive of the Supreme Lord .  Jayadevar  went to Padmavathi’s father and requested his daughter to be given in marriage to him. Jayadevar’s coming was known to the brahmanan as he was sure that it was bhagawan’s sankalpam and it will definitely happen one day.
Marriage happened between Padmavathi and Jayadevar. They both performed LORD JAGGANATHA service ( Krishna seva)  together. The ashram now became a Griham.
Sadhu seva, Bhagavath kainkaryam was being done as this is the main activity of a Grihasta.
Jayadevar started to understand what Bhakthi fully was.
Now as the Bhakthi became  more like a rasam, Jayadevar started to like it very much and he started to appreciate Padmavathis kainkaryam, he also started to like the various rasams described by padmavathi and his bhakthi started to blossom tenfold.
While performing abhishekam, Jayadevar would pour all of the abhishekam ingredients  at once on top of the  deity  of  Lord  Krishna .
Watching this  Padmavathi would say   …
Swami …..“Why dont you  offer  the milk , water  slowly as Sri Krishna would become breathless with your action. 
Jayadevar would think, “Oh! Why did I not know this. He corrected himself and became more connected with deity worship…
While  performing archanas with flowers, padmavathi would tell  him not to put the flowers all over the  LORD and cover  instead   spread the fragrant  flowers  all around so that while doing the archana we could have the grace of the beauty of  our krishna and be able to see the  lotus feet  (thiruvadi )of the  Supreme Lord 
Thus, Jayadevar  started to like and understand the suggestions made by Padmavathi very much as he started learning the loving ways of performing kainkaryam to the bhagawan.
While adorning the dresses to the Lordships ( Vasthrams ) , Padmavathi would give some suggestions on how to tie the vastrams differently as she now said, ‘instead of the same blue black vastram, you can put the yellow one and the red one here on the top and see how nice it looks’.
. Jayadevar started to think, ‘oh thats a good idea, why did I not think of that before’.
He felt that Padmavathi was showing the way to him to bhakthi rasam and as Padmavathi started singing, Jayadevar, himself being a poet, his poetic instincts started to flower. Because of his poetic instincts, Krishna bhakthi and the  support from Padmavathi  his heart started to pour kavyams.
This Kayvam in the form of Gita slokas started flowing and he started to teach Padmavathi how to dance.
 The young couple were more of Prema Bhakthas.
Jayadevar considered Padmavathi not as his better half but as a Krishna dasi.
Padmavathi in turn feels herself as Jaya and Jayadevar as padma and they were like two sakhis for Sri Krishna.
Both of them dancing in front of Sri Krishna, their shringaram was like Bhakthi shringaram. Not like the worldly shringaram.
In all his Krishna leelas, Brindavanam prasidha leela, Kandithaa Varnanam leela is most prominent
Jayadevar thinks in his mind that Sri Krishna in order to pacify Radha rani  would request   to place  her lotus  feet on his head.
wp-1499673595244.
 Jayadevar  suddenly  doubts ….
He  thinks this is not correct as ‘Radhai (jeevatma) keeping her feet on the head of the paramatma’ is incorrect  .
Jayadevar is perplexed at this.
0099
This poem is not Jayadevar’s, its just coming on its own  from his divine thoughts .
Thus LORD  Krishna has put the seed in his thoughts 
Jayadevar  decides to write this,  but then he puts the pen down  confused . Thus he does many times not getting courage enough to write it.
IMG-20190207-WA0073-1.jpg
He never thought of Radha as a separate but rather as a Bhaktha, Gopikai and thats Bhaktars anyway.
For all the devotees ,  Lord Sri Krishna’s respect for their Bhakthi is also true .
But Jayadevar had a little hesitation.
Jayadevar thinking so decided that in this part, ‘I need to modify with some other phrase’. Thinking thus, he went to perform his usual Thaila Snanam (oil bath).
Padmavathi  who was  alone in the house ,  heard her name being called “Padma” and as she turned to see, she saw that he has already come back.
She  said …Swami you just left ..How is that you returned so quickly …
Jayadevar who was looking so effulgent  said,
I suddenly remembered a sentence, and hence  wanted to write in the poem  otherwise I would  forget it. That’s why i came so early.
facebook_1550155993588.jpg
Please bring that palm leaf’. He took the leaf and then in his beautiful handwriting started to write the  verse  he did not want to write initially.
smara-garala-khandanam
mama sirasi mandanam
dehi pada-pallavam udaram
 roughly translated means 
The beautiful flower blossoms of Your feet counteract the deadly poison of amorous love. They extinguish the terrifying fire of the pain of that love, which rages within My heart. Therefore, please be kind and allow Your feet to decorate My head.”
10551095_547511465355096_3417741649091939525_n.jpg
Then returning the palm leaf to padma and asking her to keep it back, he left.
 Jayadevar went back  and after completing his shower and  japa  came to see that what he had not wanted to write had already been written by some one already …
He was shocked and amazed to see the palm leaf which  had the verse he did not want to write …
He asked Padmavathi,   my  dear   please tell me  ‘Who wrote this verse ?
 She  expressed ignorance  and asked 
Swami ….Why?
He replied  …dear   ……What I did not want to write, somebody has  already written that …
Padmavathi asked,   
Swami  ‘Did you tell your  feelings  to anyone else or me anytime’.
Jayadevar said, ‘No! this should not be said, its  a divine secret .
So I had kept it in my heart only.’
 Padma replied,
wp-1504803027619.
Swami   ‘Whoever was in your heart only would have written this then’.
The moment he realized what Padma was saying, tears flowed like torrent 
Oh Krishna …. he wept  like a child …
He saw the palm leaf repeatedly ..the  handwriting and the words written were  like pearls and he touched them with his eyes.
Lord  had accepted his words for that sentence.
Not only that, the entire Gita Govindam was accepted.
He then looked at Padmavathi and said,
My dear  “Padmavathi,  you are blessed one! With tears he said ….
Am blessed to have a devotee as my life partner … 
Your  devotion  is  flawless   and that’s the reason  LORD appeared .
  Recollecting the divine incident  tears flowed down her face.
LORD  blessed the couple
Gita Govinda is  centered around  24 Ashtapadis (songs with 8 couplets).
 saturated with the flavour of the divine love of Krsna and Radha…
wp-1477825182532.jpeg
The Ashtapadis are about different moods  of  love between  Lord Krishna and Radha….
Some are almost  in form of hymns, listing  Lord Krishna’s achievements in his various incarnations ……..
Featured Image -- 27863
Some are glimpses into Krishna’s and  Radha’s minds at times of separation, anger or reconciliation and   
Some others are the words of messengers sent to each other, urging mercy and to swallow pride. 
GLORIES TO JAYADEVAR for giving us KRISHNA BHAKTHI …
 May my mind surrender to all the  great devotees of the Supreme LORD

” Thiruvaaimozhi pillai vaibhavam ” Parama guru of Lord Ranganathar…. …. Swamy Manavala Mamuni attributing everything to the lotus feet of his legendary Acharyar… ( Yendhai Thiruvaimozhi Pillai Inn arulaal..)”

The final (74) verse was an addition by Erumbiappa disciple of Swamy Mamuni that the fortunates heads who seek the holy feet (Sandals) of Sri Manavala Mamunigal are certain to be touched by Amanava at Srivaikuntam . This contact would cleanse the emancipated soul of the last traces of karma and render it pure to enter the land of Bliss.
