FROM THE DESK OF

Saama Vedam: Part 8

|| Sri Ranganaatha Mahimai ||

SakalOpanishad SvarUpan: Sri RanganAthan: part 12

In this posting belonging to the series on " Sri RanganAthO Jayathi " relating to the Construction of a Temple for Him at Pomona , NY , I will focus on the ways in which the Upanishads rush to salute Him . I will follow the path established by AchArya RaamAnujA and his successors on this matter.

Sriman NaarAyaNan of Srirangam : Sri RanganAthan *************************************************

AchArya RaamAnujA's darsanam is profound in many ways . Two of the key features of this darsanam are that (1) it harmonizes God's transcendence ( parathvam ) with His accessibility ( Soulabhyam ) and (2) it inculcates "the highest form of devotion without belittling the part of intellectualism and social duties in man's spiritual life " .

Sriman NaarAyaNA as Para VaasudEvan is readily accessible to us at His BhUlOka Vaikuntam on the island of Srirangam . The parathvam of His form at Sri Vaikuntam by the banks of the river VirajA comes together with the soulabhyam of His ArchA svarUpam at Srirangam ( nithya -LeelA VibhUthis ). This amalgamation of Parathvam and Soulabhyam at Srirangam is considered the central root ( aaNi vEr ) of our Sri VaishtAdvaithA tradition elaborated by our AzhwArs and developed further by Dankar , DramidAchAryA , Naathamuni, ALavanthAr , Periya Nambi and Acharya RaamAnujA and his succesors in the mold of Upanishadic and Vedic tradition . The Ubhaya Vedantha tradition flourishes today from that amalgamation .

The embodied Isvara Tattvam at Srirangam *****************************************

9

The epistemology , ontology , cosmology , theology and psychology of Sriman NaarAyaNA as the controller of all (SarvEsvarathvam ) , the principal of all ( sarvasEshithvam ) , the One worshipped by every religious act ( Sarva KarmAradhyathvam ) , the bestower of all fruits of such worship ( Sarva pala pradhathvam ) , the sustainer of all (SarvAdharathvam) , the cause of all effects (Sarva KaaryOthpAdhakthvam) is nowhere celebrated more than at Srirangam . It is no wonder that our AchAryAs , who were conversant with the nuances of Ubhaya VedAntham spent so much of their life time at Srirangam and worshipped Sri RanganAtha as the Jagadheesvaran.

Sri RaamAnujA & Aupanishada- Parama Purushan **********************************************

AchArya RaamAnujA recognized Sriman NaarAyaNA as the Aupanishada-Parama Purushan ( the supreme spirit revealed in the Upanishads ) . He is the same Parama Purushan celebrated by Sri GeethOpanishad in the chapter on PurushOtthama Yogam . This Supreme spirit of the Upanishads has been saluted by AchArya RaamAnujA as " Sruthi-sirasi Videepthan " ( the shining crown of the VedAs ). The nectar churned out of the milky ocean of Upanishads by BaadarAyaNA's Brahma sUthrams was intrepreted by AchAryA RaamAnujA to strengthen the citadel Of Sri VisidshtAdvaitham and fly high the flag of the supermacy of our Soulabhya Para VaasudEvan of Srirangam .

With great coherency and clarity , AchArya RaamAnujA commented on BaadarAyaNa sUtrAs in His Sri BhAshyam and elucidated " the philosophically CENTRAL affirmations of the Upanishads . As an easier text for us to understand, AchArya RaamAnujA gave us VedArtha SangrahA, whose central purpose was to gather into focus the teachings of Upanishads . Sudarsana Suri , the author of Srutha PrakAsikA , an elaboration of Sri Bhaashyam of AchArya RaamAnujA , states that the great AchAryaa extracted the nectar of VedaanthA , meaning Upanishads .With his effective and clear synthesis of the BhEda, BhedAbhEda and AbhEda sruthis , AchArya RaamAnujA was able to establish a coherent doctrine of Brahman . The essence of AchAryA's thesis that is endearing and assuring is that the Brahman of the Upanishads is the paratattvA (supreme Reality ) , parahitA ( the supreme way to redemption ) and and ParapurushArthA (the supreme goal ).

For AchArya RaamAnujA , " the ultimate spirit holds ALL things within Itself and abides as indweller in ALL things-- --- such is the final substance and the entire message of the Upanishads , according to RaamAnujA . For his way of thinking , the concept of Sriman NaarAyaNA , properly comprehended , embodies in itself this philosophy completely . Hence one may , as well , conclude that the WHOLE teaching of the Upanishads stands summed up in A SUPREME SYNTHESIS IN THE CONCEPT OF NAARAAYANAA " . Personal God and the Upanishidic Brahman ****************************************

Sri RamAnujA postualted a personal God and defined Brahman this way: " By the word Brahman is denoted the highest person , who is , by nature, devoid of all evil , and is possessed of hosts of auspicious qualities, which are innumerable and unsurpassable in excellence " . He accepted a world that is real distinctly different from the world of illusion of the advaitins . Regarding the means of attainment , AchArya RaamAnujA accepted Bhakthi and Prapatthi , " wherein the Lord is considered both as a means and the object of attainment . Only

10

he attains the Lord , whom he elects with grace " . This is the essence of Sri VisishtAdvitha Darsanam and Parama purusha prasAdham is central to it and the Samastha chidachidh vasthu sareeran as AkhilAthman blesses us to gain Moksham. These then arethe conclusions of AchArya RaamAnujA that we cherish as the distillation of the essence of the Upanishads on the Aupanishadic Parama Purushan reclining on His serpent bed at Srirangam .

The source Upanishads for Sri RaamAnujA's Works ***********************************************

The 15 upanishads quoted by AchArya RaamAnujA to develop his synthetic approach to reconcile the three categories of sruthis are:

Isa, Kena , Katha , Prasna , Mundaka , MaandUkya , AitarEya , TaittirIya , ChhandOgya , BrihadAraNyaka , KaushItakI , SvetAsvaatara , MahOpanishad , SubAlOpanishad and MahA NaarAyaNOpanishad

Sriman NaarAyaNA of MahA NaarAyaNOpanishad ***********************************************

I will conclude this posting with select manthrams of MahA NaarAyaNOPanishad .This Upanishad has moving revelatory passages on the identity of the ParamAthMan ( Paramapurushan ) . In the very first manthram , which has profound meanings , the role of the Lord of creation is saluted :

ambasya paarEbhuvanasya madhyE naakasya prushtE mahathO maheeyAn I SukrENa jyOthIgumshi samanupravishta : PrajApathisccharathi garbhE antha : II

( Meaning ) : " The Lord of Creation , who is present in the shoreless waters ,on the Earth and above the Heaven and who is greater than the great , having entered the shining intelligence of creatures in seed form, acts in foetus (which grows into the living being that is born)".

This Lord of Creation and the AntharyAmi Brahman is recognized in the next manthram as the source of power by which all Gods remain enjoying their respective powers ( Sarvam yasmin dEvA adhi visvE nishEdhu: ). The Upanishad goes onto declare that certainly has been true in the past and will be true in the future (TadhREva bhUtham tadhu bhavyamA ).

In section 12 , the 17th manthram of this Upanishad we come across the connection of the Lord to PraNavam :

yO vedAdhou svara: prOkthO VedAnthE cha prathishtitha : I tasya prakruthileenasya Ya; Para: sa MahEsvara : II

This manthram asserts that this Lord of Creation is the supreme Lord , who transcends the syllable OM , which is invoked at the commencement of the recital of the VedAs , which is well established in Upanishads and which is dissolved in the primal cause during contemplation .

The next few manthrams identify this supreme Lord as Sriman NaarAyaNA :

11

NaarAyaNam mahAj~nEyam visvAthmAnam parAyaNam

This Supreme Lord , Sriman NaarAyaNA is declared as the One , who is supremely worthy of being known by the Jeevans and recognized as the supreme goal .

The thundering statements that follow are :

NaarAyaNa: param Brahmma tattvam NaarAYaNa: Para: I NaarayaNa: parO jyOthirAthmA NaarayaNa : para :II NaarayaNa: parO dhyAthA dhyAnam NaarayaNa : para : I

( Meaning ) : NaarAyaNA is the supreme reality designated as Brahmman . NaarAyaNA is the loftiest of all principles. NaarAyaNA is the supreme effulgence described by Upanishads. NaarAyaNA is THE INFINITE SELF. He is the most outstanding mediator and meditation.

Yaccha kinjijagathyasmin dhrusyatE SrUyatEpi vaa I antharbahisccha tathsarvam vyApya NaarAyaNa: sthitha : II

( Meaning ) : Whatsoever that is comprehended through perception or known through hearing , all that is pervaded by NaarAyaNA within (indweller) and outside .

A CONCLUDING SALUTATION TO THE SAKALA UPANISHAD SVARUPAN ******************************************************************************

This Lord of Srirangam , who has been saluted as Mahath Yasa: (the great glory). He is the web and woof of creation saluted by the Upanishads . He reclines under PranvAkruthi VimAnam and glorifies the meaning of PraNavam ( PraNavArtha PrakAsakan ) . He is the para Vaasudevan of parama Padham . He is RangEsan . He has Srirangam as His temple by the side of KaavEri river and His other home is by the side of VirajA river in Sri Vaikuntam . That Sri RangasAyee is saluted by this famous slOkam :

KaavErI VirajAsEyam Vaikuntam Rangamandhiram Sa VaasudEvO RangEsa: Prathyaksham Paramam Padham I VimAnam PraNavAkAram Vedasrungam MahAdhbhutham SrirangasAyee BhagavAn PraNavArthaprakAsaka : II

It is this Sri RangasAyee saluted by Upanishads that Saint ThyagarAjA implored to come to him at Srirangam in his celebrated KaambhOji Raaga Krtihi : Oh RangasAyee !pilachitE-Oh yanuchu raa raadhAA ? ( Oh Rangasaayee ! When I implore You to come to me , why should You not respond ?) . Saint Thyagaraja composed the Sriranga Pancharathna krithis on this Lord reclining on Adhi SEshA at Srirangam . We will salute those 5 krithis in the next posting .

Swamy Adidevananda’s Translation:

Moreover, this psalmist deserves to be pitied by You, not for an excellence of poetical gifts,

but

17

for his great exertion in praising You. And exertion for the purpose is quite natural to me,

who

am dull-witted. Oh Lotus-eyed one! This toil of mine is nonetheless meaningful, for, I can

rest

on Your gracious compassion which will surely be excited by this task which is beyond my

capacity.

Commentary:

ALavandhAr introduces himself as “Yesha: sthOthaa” instead of saying aham sthOthaa. This

is

the Sanskrit protocol (MaryAdhai) to show respect for the humble poet attempting to

eulogize

the mighty Lord. Next, ALavandhAr moves away from the statement that he did not have the

fitness to praise the Lord compared to great ones like Brahmaa et al.

While admitting that unfitness as a reality, he states that he is more qualified than those

superior

intellects for a different reason. You will see my exertions and will take pity on the strivings

of

mine as a dim-witted being. Your intrinsic (SvabhAveeka) Dayaa guNam will propel you to

take

note of my dhainyam (helplessness). You will know that I do not have the skills and

cleverness

(saamarTyam) to be a superior poet to tackle the mighty task at hand. I will flounder around

in

my efforts and will be exhausted easily (sulabha Sramam). It would be easy for you to take

note

of my dhainyam. I will immediately become the object of Your Dayaa. I am a mandha

buddhi and do not have the tenacity and endurance like Brahma Devan to persist in my

sthuthi.

Therefore Your Dayaa should be the path for me to continue with my sthuthi. “Mama cha

ayam

udhyama: uchitha:” (This effort of mine is very appropriate for me also in the context of

Paasura Vaakyam: “Irukku vaay munikkaNangaL yEttha yaanum (mama cha) yEtthinEn”.

Your

anugraham will be the cause for my effort (anugraha hEthu). You will make it possible for

me to

complete my effort without obstacles (avignam). Like the prayer of VishNu PurANam (VP)

asking for the Lord to cast His lotus soft glances on him, ALavandhAr feels emboldened to

engage in the effort to eulogize the Lord: “avalOkana dhAnEnabhuyO maamm paalaya

Achyutha” (VP: 1.20.16). Being Nithya sooris with superior Jn~Anam, they praise you “tath

viprAsO vipanyavO jaagruvAmsas-samindhathE” /Rg Vedam1.2.7). At VishNu’s Parama

Padham (Yath VishNO; Paramam Padham), these mEdhAvis (Nithya Sooris) eulogize

effortlessly without tiring. As for myself, the Mandha Buddhi, I too eulogize You empowered

by

Your karuNaa KatAksham falling on me through your anugraham to this dheenan and

mandha

mathi.

Gained by Karma Yogi: Krishna Emphasises the Significance of Jnaana element in Karma Yoga: A

perfected Karma yogi attains knowledge of the self: Karma Yoga Triangle Explained: Karma Yogi Attains

Soon Supreme Peace: Cut Asunder the Doubt Regarding the Self by the Sword of Wisdom:]

“A yogi keeps his head in solitude (self) and his hands in society (work)”. “Activity is not merely for material result, but for inner fulfillment or growth. Yoga is thus a term used in

conjunction with karma to show the change from deficiency-motivation to growth-motivation. Kaamya

karma – nishkaama karma – naihkarmyam”.

“Krishna neither rationalises nor brings about any change in the circumstances facing Arjuna, but only changes the

outlook of Arjuna through the higher vision envisaged to him. This change is called right perception of things – a

congruence of wisdom and work”.

1. Introduction: 1. Before we present this essay on Gita‟s karma yoga triangle, it is, perhaps, necessary and

worthwhile to draw the attention of the reader to an observation of Krishna, at the very start chapter of chapter 4, after his exposition of karma yoga in chapters 2 and 3, presented in the

introduction to this study. The proper understanding of this observation will help the right appraisal and understanding of the subtle points in the Gita Sermon in general and of this essay in particular. Krishna‟s observation referred to implicitly admits that the original wisdom of the s’rutis has been distorted. That was the position even at that distant period.

So it can be inferred that the purpose of Krishna‟s unilateral assertion on the restatement of the original Vedanta tenets is to present the truth of the matter and to reconcile the seemingly contradictory statements of the s’rutis. This obviously means that we have to take

the Gita version wherever they seem to be contradictory to the generally interpreted and understood statements of the s’rutis. This is an important aspect and is not to be missed in the understanding and interpretations of the Gita Sermon. This explains why the Gita Sermon is most unequivocal and presented in the simplest language possible. “Every one who came upon something new had to claim its origin in the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Brahmasutra. And for this reason right interpretations of these scriptures became difficult.

Everyone indiscriminately imposes his own ideas and interpretations in these helpless scriptures…. The same has been the fate of the Gita. Whoever wants to have his say claims the support of these scriptures, and does everything in his power to impose his meanings on them…. Please bear in mind that the seers of Vedas and the Upanishads do not seek any

support for themselves, they say on their own whatever they have to say”. – (Osho – “Krishna – The man and His Philosophy”.): 2. Krishna‟s way of defining jnaana (referred to in the previous essay and discussed in detail

in essay 19) seems to indicate that what is meant by the term jnaana, as a means to

liberation (mukti), is knowledge in a special sense known as upaasana or devotion. It is not

mere intellectual understanding of the term jnaana, as defined, namely, as the

understanding of the difference and distinctness of kshetrajna or purusha (self) and kshetra

or prakriti (body) but to become what one knows. This is immensely more difficult and

would always remain unverified unless this perceived knowledge is lived too in active

life. By successfully cultivating the twenty values (virtues) enumerated in (13.7 – 11),

defined as jnaana, the saadhaka attains wisdom by virtue of eradication from his heart all

contrary values (ignorance), the cause of his ego, which causes – pride, anger, greed,

possessiveness and all kinds of misconceptions. He gradually understands that all learning

pertaining to the phenomenal world is partial, uncertain and relative. Supreme devotion to

the Deity is the only true, permanent and absolute knowledge. This is upaasana (bhakti).

What one knows to be really true has to emerge out of him as action. This is wisdom

(vijnaana). Thus karma yoga becomes a means of self – purification (aatma- s’uddhi) to

help further progress towards aatma – avalokana – the goal of self – realisation and

subsequent God – realisation. Hence Krishna immediately after explaining the first step

deals with karma yoga – the practical application of the first step.

DHARMA STHOTHRAM

Part 51

Samvatsara, Vyala

Bakthi or devotion is just offering our mind to Sriman Narayana. Through this, impurities in us as our actions, thoughts and words will be removed totally. Then all desires and aversions will not find any path to enter our minds to pollute. We will also be able to keep our mind in control automatically ,which will result in getting peace and intellectual capacity. The desire for sense objects can never be cured without contemplation of the self. The control of mind is needed for the condition of firm mindedness which could be possible only through our Bakthi . It can be said as steady mindedness itself is fruition of Bakthi. There are seven pre-requesites for Bakthi.or devotion. 1.Viveka- Discrimination -purification of body by taking only the sattvik natured good food. 2. Vimoka- Renouncing desires totally , and not worrying about the fruits of the actions done 3. Abhyasa- Practicing frequently in worship of Sriman Narayana with complete dedication. 4. Kriya- Working properly in accordance with the prescribed types norms and procedures. . 5. Kalyana- Auspiciousness of following truth, integrity, compassion, benevolence,ahimsa etc. 6. Navasota - Forgetting the past and being without worries of disappointment and

displeasure. 7. Anuddharsa - Stable situation of sthitha pragnan stage avoiding feelings of joy and sorrow. For such Bakthi easiest way is Divya Nama smaranam as found in Sri Vishnu Sahasranamam. Dharma sthothram has so far dealt with 90 namas in 50 parts.

The 91st nama is Samvatsara which means He who is the personification of the year. Samvatsara in Sanskrit denotes only the year.The Tamil Panchangam followed by all Hindus

26

starting from Chitrai is adopting names for every year which is 60 in number. This 60 samvatsarams is repeated in next cycle . It is said as Prabhava to Vyaya attributed to Brahma in first group,. Sarvajith to Parabhava is for Vishnu and the last 20 years Plavanka to Akshaya is for Siva. As Sriman Narayana lives in the heart of His bakthas preparing always to protect them throughout the year, and throughout the life, He is called as Samvathsara. Samvatsara uthsavam such as Pavithra utsavam, Brahmotsavam , Adhyayana utsavam, Parivettai or Thotta utsavam, Teppotsavam are being celebrated in all Vaishnava temples as found in this gathyam as " Nityotsava, pakshotsava, samvatsarotsava:"., .

Sriman Narayana is the lord of all, the source of all, and all beings are belongings of Him only. But with attachment of material joys and in our Karma palams we ignore its importance ,in spite of knowing all Avatharams done by Him only for our benefit and knowledge. Seeing that Lord with great auspicious qualities, in this world which is subject to time (Samvatsarams ) , Periazhvar had worries even about Sriman narayana as what might happen to Him. Therefore he started telling as "Let him live long for years " and performs mangalashasanam to Him that His beauty be protected for as long as time is there. He speaks of the benefit that those who recite this prabandham will get and performs managalshasanam to them. Periazhvar says that the samsaris who do not even qualify for the above groups, will also join forever those who do mangalashasanam, by simply reciting this prabandham. The word Pallandu, means for many countless years of humans, of devas,of Brahma,that is, for all time be protected.If a devotee is not intelligent enough to make progress on the path of self realisation but is sincere and devoted to the activities of devotiona service , the lord gives a chance to make progress in successive attempts and ultimately attain to Him.

The next 92nd nama is Vyala, means as one accepting the devotees like Anjaneya or Vibishana in Srimad Ramayanam . This nama is also known as one who cannot be caught like the great serpent, an elephant or a tiger. He is one who assures and accepts His devotees by sending His representatives to them. Rama who lost His kingdom and just staying with monkeys said as "I am going to offer protection without reserve to anyone who just comes and says as ""Please ' I do not want anything more.I can protect them in all dangers ,aggressions and enemies. This shows the height of unimaginable benevolence of Lord Rama.In Srimad Valmiki Ramayana VI.18.34 Aanayainam hari reshta dathamasya bhayam maya Rama asked to bring Vibhihana . He said as He gave

Abhayam to him already. His principle much more thorough than this and even a drastic one Even if Ravana himself came and sought His protection He would happily embrace Ravana and give total protection to him. He said as "I cannot desert Vibhishana who has come as a friend. Even if there is any wickedness in him, his acceptance is not unworthy in the eyes of good people. Similar to this there are many episodes in every incarnations and so Vyala is aptly finding place in Vishnu Sahasranamam showing the mercy of Sriman Narayana.

Then Banasura kept Anirudha in a jail.

Though Usha cried and begged, Banasura did not accept her wish.

In the meanwhile everybody were worried because Anirudha was

missing from the palace in Dwaraka. That time Narada came there and

told where is Anirudha.

Then all the Vrishnis were went to Sonidapuram with Krishna. They

attacked the fort and destroyed all the places. Siva who was guarding

that place came to fight with Krishna. Bana also with his troup came

and attacked Vrishnis.

Rudra sat on his bull, Muruga on his peacock started fighting.

O Lord, you are the beloved of your devotees, you are of the colour of sapphire,

listen to what we want from you after our sacred bath in the month of margazi

following the tradition set out by our elders. We want conches like your milk-

hued panchajanya which causes tremor for the whole world with its sound, great

drums, people who sing pallaAndu, beautiful lamps, flag and canopies. You who

recline on the banyan leaf, please grant us all this.

This pasuram is the 26th. It signifies the Lord, who is paramathma.There are 24

thathvas or evolutes of prkrthi, the primordial nature and 25th is the jeevathma

denoted as purusha who is implied by the last pasuram

'orutthimaganaippirandhu' This pasuram refers to the paramathma ,the 26th. It

also denotes the ashtakshara manthra which is 8=2+6.The number 2 stands for

the dhvaya manthra and the number 6 denotes the six padhas of the dhvaya

and also the six angas, limbs of prapatthi.

mAlE- He is having vathsalya for His creations and hence comes now and then

as incarnations to see to their welfare.

maNivaNNA-He is having the colour of a blue sapphire, indhraneelamaNi, as

described by almost all devotee-saints like Desika, Narayanabhattadri and

Thyagaraja.

mElaiyar seivanagaL- the austerities and charities as shown by the elders.

They ask for six things:

1.sangam-conch like panchajanyam of the Lord.

2.parai-drum

3.pallAndisaipAr-the group who sing pallandu, when the Lord is taken on a

procession, the composition of Preriazvar, which marks the beginning of the

Nalayiradivyaprabandham.It is a benediction for the Lord Himself.

Periazvar won the argument in the court of the Pandyan king solely due to the

grace of the Lord at whose command he went though he did not know anything

except to offer garlands and sing to the Lord. Then the king mounted him on the

elephant and set him on a procession. The Lord Koodalazagar of Madurai

manifested Himself in front of Azvar seemingly to watch His devotee honoured

thus. Not realising that the Lord appears only to him, the azvar sang pallandu,

as a protection for the Lord from evil eyes. such was the vathsalya he felt

towards the Lord.

30

4.Kola viLakku- The ornamental lamps that are carried in a temple procession.

5.kodi- the flag that is carried when the Lord comes on procession

6. vithanam- the canopy on the top.

Of these, three lines are allotted for the conch alone may be because,

1. it is equivalent to the pranava which has three mathras, a,u, and m.

2. Panchajanya was born in the sea, grew into the body of the asura panchajana

and finally reached the hand of the Lord.

3.Krishna also was born in Madura, grew in Gokula and migrated to Dvaraka.

pOyppAdu udaiyana- Panchajanya has a wide interior.

4.We are born from the womb of the mother and grow into a devotee through

the wide jnana given by praNava, signified by Panchajanya and finally reach

Vaikunta.

5.The white coloured conch is supposed to give loud sound. The white colour

also denotes satthva which is the great sound that enters the heart (hari enra

pEraravam uLLam pugundhu-pasuram6) and drives out the rajas and

thamas.

SAlapperumparai -The drum which is large and sounds loud so that no other

talk will be heard and the mind will be completely absorbed in the divyamangala

svarupa of the Lord.

Krishna might have said that his panchajanya is only one and how can He give it

to them and also they wanted many, (sangangal) and Andal replies by calling

him 'Alin ilaiyay' one who slept on a banyan leaf, meaning that nothing is

impossible for him. He can create, sustain and annihilate the world, all can be

done through the sound of his conch alone, as it is synonymous with pranava.

When Krsihna blew his conch before the battle all the kouravas were already

destroyed and the actual battle was only a drama through his leela.

The banyan tree is calpable of giving shade to whole army.( aNnal yAnai aNi

thEr puravi Atperumpadaiyodu mannanrkkirukka niZalAgummE) Similarly

the Lord gives shadow for the good, 'vivAsavrkshah

sAdhoonAm;vasudhevatharucchAya.' Vasudeva is the tree in whose shadow

the good are residing.

31

The word 'Alin ilaiyay' implies that He is capable of doing anything. He

converted an ordinary kuSa grass into brahmasthra in Ramavathara and reduced

the sea to a ditch by crossing over it easily, used monkeys as His army and

vanquished the mighty Ravana as easily as he would swat a fly, and endless

miracles He did in Krishnavathara. The word denotes His swamithvam, over-

lordship and the word maNivaNNa denotes His soulabhya, easy accessibility.

The same idea we can see in the charamasloka, 'sarvadharman parithyajya

mAm Ekam SaraNam vraja, aham thvAm sarvapApEbhyah

mOkshayishyAmi mA uchah.'

"Give up all dharma and surrender to Me alone and I will release you from all

sins, do not despair."

By saying mAm SaraNam vraja the Lord denotes His soulabhya, meaning "I

am here for anyone easily available to surrender," and the word aham denotes

His swamithva, hence the power of removing our sins.

This pasuram is important not only because it is the 26th thus signifying the

paramathman but also because it outlines all the constituents of SaraNAgathi.

Prapatthi or SaraNAgathi in vaishnava tradition has three levels and six limbs.

The three levels are:

1.svarupasamarpaNam

2.phalasamarpaNam

3.bharasamarpaNam

1. svarupasamarpanam means placing our svarupa , natural self at His feet as

His Sesha, property. This was indicated by 'oLindhuvaLara' in the previous

pasuram which means giving up our ego and living as His dasa.

2.Phalasamarpanam is offering the fruit of our actions at his feet and this was

implied by 'selvamum sevakamum' in the previous pasuram meaning that the

fruit of their endeavour is only His kainkarya.

3.Bharasamarpanam is laying down the responsibility of our protection at His

feet. This is denoted by the words 'arundhitthu vandhom' which means they

hold Him only as the means and end.

32

The six angas of Prapatthi are:

1.Anukoolya sankalpam- The resolve to do only the acts which are approved

by Him.

2.prAthikoolya varjanam-Not to do anything that is forbidden by Him.

3.mahAviSvAsam- Absolute faith.

4.gOpthrthvavaraNam-Entreaty to Him to grant protection.

5.karpaNyam-(Akinchanyam)- Awareness of one's utter helplessness and

praying for His grace..

6.Phalathyagam-surrendering the result of action also to Him.

1.SAlapperumparai- denotes Anukoolya sankalapam.Parai is the enjoined

karma which are approved by God. Perumparai is the resolve to do the enjoined

karma.

2.jnAlatthai ---pOyppAdudaiyanaveL- prthikoolya varjanam-

pAnchajanyam means the indhriyavyaApAra, born of indhriyas, that is anything

done with the five indhriyas. pAlannavaNNam- denotes the satthva- oriented

action and pOippAdu implies wide application of indhriyas in avoiding the

actions that are prohibited.

3.kOlavilakku- denotes mahAviSvasam.the faith should be like the

kutthuviLakku, steady and one-pointed.

4.vithAnam-gopthrthvavaraNam.as the vithAna , canopy protects the Lord

from sun and rain He will protect us from sin

5.kodi-karpanyam.The word kodi also means creeper and the prapanna needs

the support of the Lord as the creeper needs the tree.

6.pallAndisaippar- those who have no other wish except singing the glory of

the Lord, indicate phalathyagam.This way of life continues till the end for a

prapanna.

Dear Srirangasri members and friends,

My Shaashtanga pranams to Sri Azagiya manavalan,

Continuing into the next day after the wonderful panguni uthram thirunaal, the

Lord today leaves early to board on the magnificent Goratham before he starts for

this procession around the chithrai streets.

Its not unknown that men do prefer to leave home and roam around outside while

leaving their wives

behind! They love to do that whenever the oppurtunity presents itself!

The Goratham has a very special significance.Even though the name is "Go"

ratham it is actually a horse chariot presented by the Lord Rama itself and the

chariot itself belonged to the Isvaaghu Kuladhanam. The Goratham is a very

ancient and a beautiful ratham which features exquisite art.

The Lord starts on the Goratham and today, unlike other days, he prefers the

36

procession to go on without too much fanfare and proceeds through the chithirai

street.

It seems that the Lord wants to thank everyone who was with him during the

festival and participated.

At this point the whole Dasamurthys ( ashta dikhpalakas and the Bhoomi and

Akasam )

come down to meet the lord and offer their obscience to the lord.

After going around the 7th prakaram, the Lord returns to near the Santhanu

mandapam and reached Kannadi Arai Thirumanjanam is performed

for Namperumal.

So the day passes silently compared to the previous day where pranayakalagam

had happened and the Lord

seems to enjoy the calm after a hectic week in this private arai.

Dear friends, I would request you all not to disturb for the day as he needs this

well-deserved rest! :)

We know that even if our Arangam looks like he is taking rest, he is ever in the

state of perpetual alert

, after all, isnt that his duty to protect the anda characharam?

Vachaka Doasham Kshamikkavum,

Narasimha bhattar--

Azagiyamanavalanin Saptha varnamum& Namperumalin Aalum Pallakku! ( Adhi Brhma Thirunaal final Days)

!! Rangeshamam Paghe-Rageshamam paaghi- Rangeshamanpaaghi- Sri Ranga

Prabho!!

Dear Sri Ranga Sri members and friends,

I would like to start off by first giving my Sashtanga Pranams

to our Azhagiya Manavalan. Secondly, I would like to thank

everyone for taking the time to read adiyen's writings and

giving me support and valuable feedback! I always try to send

the most up to date pictures during the Brahmotsavam, but I

was not able to attain the recent pics for Saptha Varnam,

so my humble apologies.

On the 10th day of Thirunaal, After Theertha Vari in the holy

Chandra Pushkarani, Perumal goes to Chandana Mandapam.

Then, He leaves by evening and goes around the Chitra streets,

listening to Divya prabandham and Vedas,

without much pomp and celebration. Since He is tired because

of 10 days of festival along with many musical instruments

playing all the time, in order to take a break from much of this,

he has just one drum playing as he marches silently, in Sapthaa

Varnam, in the middle sabda prakaram on Chitra streets. He

then goes to Ramanujar's sannidhi where they offer tender

coconut to

Perumal on Ramanujar's behalf, in return our Azhagiya

Manavaln gives his blessings to Ramanujar via Sri

Sadakobam(Shaddari). After naivedyam, He comes to Dhwaja

38

Sthambam and see off all the devathaas

that came to Sri Rangam for the festival and asks them to

resume their duties.

Then He goes back in and has Rakshabandhana

Visarjanam(the removal of the Rakshabandhanam) after

which, He goes back to Moola Sthanam directly.

11th Day Aalum Pallakku:

Today, the 11th day of Adhi brahma thirunaal our Azagiya

manvalan appears in "Aalum Pallaku. This Palanquin is

nothing ordinary. This palanquin is decorated with Vrkshika

Or Shanbaga Flowers.

The way the beautiful palanquin swings side-to-side appears as

if Lord himself is dancing in happiness after a successful

thirunaal!

As the legend of Srirangam goes Vibishana was carrying Lord

Ranganatha on his way to Sri Lanka which was presented to

him by Lord Rama.

When Vibhishana was carrying the deity to Sri Lankha, he had

to stop by for performing his Nityanushtanam and Sandhya

Vandanam. But according to the instructions given by Rama,

the deity

was to be handled very carefully and not to be kept ont he

ground for any reason. Stuck in this predicament, Vibhishana

spotted a little brahmin boy along the banks of Cauvery. He

begged the boy to

hold the deity until he was finished with his Sandhya

Vandanam. The boy agreed under a condition that he would

scream Vibhishana's name thrice, after which he would place

the deity down. Having no

other way outof this situation, Vibhishana agreed to this. The

boy, then playfully screams out Vibhishana's name thrice and

just before Vibhishana could get there, he places the deity on

the

floor. Enraged this act, Vibhishana's rakshasa nature comes

out which makes him chase the boy. The boy then runs very

swiftly to the hill near by and merges with the deity of Lord

39

Ganesha atop

the hill. This revealed that the boy was none other than

Ganesha himself.

Vibhishana was deeply hurt by the fact that he would not be

able to carry the deity given by Rama, to Sri Lankha. Sri

Ranganatha then explains to Vibhishana, the legend of cauvery

and what HE had

promised her and assures him that in spite of being in Sri

Rangam, HE would face south and look at Sri Lankha.

Lord Ranganatha chose Sri Rangam as where he wanted to

stay and created the Sri Ranga Kshethram.

Since then he has been blessing his devotees, their kith and kin

and all near and dear to them and will continue to do so.

Dear friends, In the 10 days of Adhi Brhma Thirunaal, I passed

on all the information that I got from Sri Rangam, as and when

I received it. Our knowledge is so low and in this condition, all

those who enjoyed the

festivities with me by reading my emails amidst all your

difficulties and busy schedules,I hope, would have got a near

live idea of the grand celebrations in Sri Rangam. I pray for you

all and would

like to thank you all for giving me such a wonderful

opportunity to write about such a grand festival!

But I am glad and feel blesses that I am receiving all the photos

almost live from there which is what I share with you all. I

request you all to please save all the photos I have sent so far

and think of Him and perform puja for Him at your Homes with

the amount of knowledge you have in it and plan for going to

Sri Ranagam when it is feasible and get Ranganatha and

Thayar's anugraham.

I would like to thank all of you for giving me an opportunity to

write about these 10 days, I would like to thank my father Anna

Rangaraja Bhattar for being my Acharya.With this I will am

concluding the

significance of this Adhi brahma Thirunaal .

to mean black from the same root. In its literal meaning. Thus the meaning

Now, your doubt has been cleared I hope as it is derived without regard to

the meaning of the root, transferred its meaning by its usage to mean black.

Now, further it can be taken even when it is not used in the sense explained

above, strictly following the verbal meaning literally. But the verb can

take different shades of meaning. Here is another derivation, not strictly

following grammar, but theological consideration:

कृषिि ि् ाचक् शब्दो णश्च नन्ृिनत्ाचक्। त्ोशै्चक््ां ऩरां ब्रह्म कृष्ण इत््भिधी्ते॥

The root कृि ्means to be, Being , combined with the suffix Na = Bliss,

makes the word कृष्ण to mean ऩरां ब्रह्म = The Supreme Being endowed with

eternal bliss. This is the PauraNika-s defifition.

And, with the literal meaning restored again, with the name कृष्ण based on

Puranic legends:

कििनत स्ािन ्स््कुक्षौ प्रल्काले इनत कृष्ण्। कििनत अरीन ्स््प्रिा्शक्त््ा, कििनत = आत्मसात ्करोनत आनन्दत््ेन ऩररणाम्नत मनो िक्तानाम ्इनत ्ा।

He attracts in his own stomach all the creation (withdrawn into his own body

from which they were created at the beginning of creation in each Yuga) or

attracts = exacts the enemies with his power,

attracts = into himself (the Supreme Bliss) the mind of his devotees, =

कृष्ण्।

शणृ््ताां स््कथाां कृष्ण् ऩुण््श्र्णकीतिन्। हृद्यन्त्स्थो ह्यिद्राणण ष्धुनोनत सुहृत ्सताम॥्

Krishna, whose story is auspicious to listen, resides in the mind of his

beloved devotees by listening to his story and thwarts away any impurity

there (and chases away any calamity from coming near the devotees).

In this case, कििनत ऩाऩान,् अिद्राणण ्ा इनत कृष्ण्।

DO YOU KNOW ? 1. 9 Essential Oils with Huge Health Benefits

By Blythe Copeland, TreeHugger

Essential oils have their place secured in a natural

beauty routine: They’re natural, chemical-free

alternatives to everything from traditional cosmetics to

potentially toxic fragrances. But many can do a lot more

than just smell good: While we can’t say with authority

the 10 oils highlighted here are miracle cures,

throughout history they’ve been credited with treating problems including digestion issues and

acne; increasing concentration; killing germs and much more.

Peppermint

The bright scent of peppermint does more than freshen your breath: It is also used to soothe nausea

and other stomach issues, help stop itching, and cool overworked muscles (thanks to the

menthol).Add drops of peppermint oil to a bowl of hot water and breathe in the steam to fight

congestion, or rub diluted oil into sore muscles. And that’s not all: Peppermint is a key ingredient in

oil mixtures that fight PMS, act as an all-natural alternative to VapoRub, cool sore throats, and quiet

headaches — and it’s often credited with increasing concentration, so ideal for a mid-afternoon

alternative to coffee pick-me-up.

Lavender

For Anita Boen, who runs an organic farm that provides

herbs and oils to upscale spas, lavender is a go-to oil for

almost any situation: Not only is it one of the few oils

that is gentle enough to use undiluted, it’s a “virtual first

aid kit in a bottle.”The antibacterial properties allow it

to fight germs (which is why it’s also such an important

ingredient in many all-natural cleaning products for home and body), and, like peppermint, it’s often

credited with aiding digestion and helping fight headaches.

44

Lavender oil’s soft scent is said to help calm the nervous system, improve sleep quality, combat joint

pain, and fight everything from urinary disorders and respiratory problems to high blood pressure

and acne.

Sesame

Sesame oil may be best known for its moisturizing qualities, which make it a favorite ingredient for

hair and skin treatments.But the health benefits go beyond beauty: Sesame oil has a slight SPF

factor, contains fatty acids believed to lower stress and blood pressure, and has been shown to help

slow the growth of cancer in cells.

Rose

This rose by any name will smell as sweet: Look for it

labeled as Rose Otto, rose oil, or rose essential oil, and

choose oils produced in Bulgaria and Turkey for the

highest quality. These slightly-distilled oils won’t have

the strong scents of oils used for perfumes, but they are

more popular with aromatherapists. Nature’s Gift calls

rose oil “the ultimate woman’s oil,” because it has a reputation for improving hormone balance,

treating PMS and menopause, counteracting problems in the bedroom, and improving the look and

health of your skin.

Geranium

Planet Green suggests including geranium oil as an ingredient in a PMS-fighting solution, but it’s also

well-known for its astringent properties — which allow it to refresh skin — and its styptic aspects,

which calm inflammations and stop hemorrhaging.You can also use geranium oil to treat acne, and

oily skin, boost circulation, and decrease bloating. The oil can reduce the appearance of scars and

blemishes, get rid of body odor, and contract blood vessels to diminish the appearance of lines and

wrinkles.

Pine

The sharp tang of pine oil may call up Christmas trees

and rugged aftershaves, but this tree’s needles also

offer antiseptic, antibacterial, and analgesic properties

that make it a favorite of holistic health experts.Pine oil

is said to help treat skin issues — including psoriasis,

eczema, and pimples; speed up metabolism; act as an

antidote to food poisoning; ease joint pain and arthritis; kill germs; and battle respiratory problems

that go along with cough and cold season.

45

Clove

Spicy clove oil is one of the main ingredients in Tiger Balm, an all-natural remedy said to temper

hangover headaches — but holistic health practitioners find other uses for it, too.It’s a popular

choice for dental issues, including tooth and gum pain, and some sites recommend using it for bad

breath (although whether you’d rather have your breath smell like cloves is up to you).

Clove oil is also antiseptic, so diluted versions can treat bug bites, cuts, and scrapes; other suggested

treatments help clear up earaches, digestion problems, nasal congestion, stomachaches, and

headaches. As an added bonus, it’s an aphrodisiac — and therefore a popular form of stress relief.

Black Pepper

It might not be as sweet-smelling as the more floral

entries on this list, but black pepper oil still has its place

in your natural health arsenal.Pepper had its day as one

of the world’s most valuable spices, in part because of

its healing properties, which include aiding digestion,

undoing cramps and convulsions, warming muscles to

ease joint pain and arthritis, and curing bacterial infections.

Lemon Balm

Lemon balm essential oil, also known as Melissa essential oil after the plant’s Latin name, Melissa

officinalis, doesn’t look like much, but it has plenty of benefits. It’s an antidepressant, it keeps your

nervous system working smoothly, it calms anxiety and inflammation, it counteracts insomnia, it

heals ulcers, it fights bacterial infections, and has been credited with treating herpes, headaches,

and high blood pressure.

Purity Test for Essential Oils

Essential oils, used for everything from insect repellents to aromatherapy and fragrance, are very

strong and need to be used with care, but they can cause environmental health

problems if the brand doesn’t provide pure oils. Some oils have petroleum-based solvents added,

which can be very toxic. Petroleum-based solvents are often long-lasting in the environment, are

stored in our fat, and are a source of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) that negatively affect indoor

air quality.

Do an easy blotting paper test to see if your oils are pure. Put a few sample drops of your oils on a

blotting paper. Pure essential oils will not leave any residue once they have evaporated, whereas

petroleum solvents will.

Ivargal Tiruvakku

Need for a preceptor When Rama is banished to the forest for 14 years by Dasaratha, He obeys instantly, and leaves for the forest, accompanied by Sita and Lakshmana. In the forest, Guha, the hunter, meets Rama and offers food to Him. But Rama does not eat what is offered. Rama's explanation is that since He has to live in the forest as hermits do, it would not be right for Him to partake of food that hermits do not take. Hence, having undertaken to live like a hermit, Rama politely turns down Guha's offerings of food. He then drinks some water brought to Him by Lakshmana and lies down to sleep. But later when Sabari

offers Him fruits, Rama accepts her offerings. He has not given up the life of a hermit by then. He still continues to live a life of austerity.

How could He then accept Sabari's offering of fruits, when He had cited His ascetic life as the reason for turning down Guha's offer? The answer lies in the fact that Sabari had a preceptor, whom she had served diligently, said V.S.Karunakarachariar, emphasising the need for every individual to have an Acharya.

One has to seek the Lord only through a preceptor, and that is what Rama indirectly shows through His acceptance of Sabari's offerings of fruits. Sabari has served Sage Matanga, and has been asked to await the arrival of Rama. When Rama and Lakshmana come to the hermitage, Sabari welcomes them. Upon their request she shows them round. Finally, she requests that she be permitted to depart from this world so that she may join her preceptors. She then offers herself as oblation in the fire, and she ascends from the fire towards Heaven.

Sabari had sincerely served Sage Matanga. It is incumbent on everyone to seek a preceptor, and to serve him well, with all due humility. To seek salvation without the help of a preceptor will not yield the desired result. Salvation is not granted to one, who overlooks the role of a preceptor and approaches God directly.

That is the lesson that the Sabari episode shows us in the Valmiki Ramayana. Guha too adored the Lord, and yet the Lord cited His life as a hermit to refuse his offerings. But the same Lord partook of Sabari's offerings, because she had served the sage Matanga.
