Srimathe ramanujaya Namaha
Dear Sri Padmanabhan swamy,
Thanks for the nice piece of
anubhavam.
Why Thiruvallikeni? was
your question.
1) If it has to be explained with practical
reasoning. Thiruvallikeni is a divya desam which is in the heart of a
major city. So there is a high probability for even a person who has
little knowledge about temple and perumal to utter this name (or atleast in a
modified form as triplicane). To be frank in today's sad state even
those who call themselves srivaishnavas are not aware of dd's like
Thirukurungudi, Thirumoozhikalam etc so where is the chance of other
lowkikas to utter such names.
2) Consider adiyen as a normal lady. Then,
it is well known to all, that girls (especially after marriage) have a special
affection towards their parent's place. They may have it always but they
tend to show it more explicitly after marriage. So you may call it a
"porandhAththu paRRu" So adiyen wants to hear the name "Thiruvallikeni" from
the mouths of one and all and be filled with joy. When it is the case
for a girl who has come from some village not well known what to say about
adiyen who has come from a DD that too adorned by our dear kaliyan as
"oppavarillA mAdhargal vAzhum mAda mAmayilai thiruvallikeni" Is there anything
wrong in adiyen being filled with sAtvika ahankaram?
3) Considering all jeevatmas to be stri prAyargal
and emperuman alone to be the purushOtaman we are all wedded to emperuman
through our acharya. Though all jeevatmas have a similarity in
jnanam still we are all different and hence we have different tastes not
only in lowkika vishayams but also in choosing our Ishta deivam (Here adiyen
is not talking about choosing different devatas but difference in abimanams of
different bhagavatas with different divya desa emperumans). Have you
ever questioned thondaradipodi azhvar why he sung only about thiruarangam?
Kulasekara perumal says, "kondAnai allA ariyA kulamagal pOl" (adiyen was
fortunate to chant perumal thirumozhi today, the day in which our dear
chakravarthi thirumagan would have undergone jhestAbhishEkam along with his
family "bharadhanum tambi chatrukkananum elakkumanOdu maidhiliyum" in
thiruvallikeni). So a wife prefers to hear the praise of her husband and
her husband's place even though she knows that there are other places that
exists equal to or even greater than that place.
You may question if only Thiruvallikeni is
emperuman's divya stAnam? "porul allAdha ennai porulAki adimai konda"
edam aduvE andrO? Emperuman blessed adiyen with a birth over there
and made adiyen enjoy all his divya darisanams and of all things though our
acharyan's place is vanamamalai it was parthasarathi's wish to celebrate
adiyen's samasrayanam only under his divine feet in thiruvallikeni. To add
more after a few years of separation parthasarathi has decided finally to
get adiyongal back to thiruvallikeni. We pray to all bhagavatas to bless
us with all your mangalasasanams for us to shift our residence to
thiruvallikeni for ever. So how much ever times adiyen utters the name
"Thiruvallikeni" it remains "appodaikku appOdu ArA amudhu" in
adiyen's mouth. For whatever thiruvallikeni and parthasarathi has given
adiyen "talaiallAl kaimArilEnE"
Note: Take the case of a prime minister. In his
office he will be amidst tight security even his wife has to get
permission from the security persons to meet him but while at home he may
be close and affectionate with his family members without any
pressure taking atmost care of them with love. Which will the wife
prefer her husband with so many people always around him and he being always
busy or he peacefully enjoying with her and the other family members?
According to adiyen thiruvallikeni is like the home of emperuman where he
enjoys along with all his family members (his bhakthas) and other divya desams
are his offices (he is a big business magnet with number of offices to capture
maximum profit-jeevatmas)
All mistakes due to adiyen's
ignorance may please be pardoned.

Madam SumithrA
varadharAjan,
I remember the thiru-voi-mozhip
pAsuram in this regard:
PrAsankikam
madi-mAngAi
idudhal
"eNNilum
varum, ennini vENduvam" = thiru-voi-mozhi 1-10-2; Even if we think of
some numbers incidentally and if it confirms to his thathvam, He emerges.If
we are listing out something else in which the word 'Eswaran' comes, He will
come. When we are counting something else and in the count if
something is related to Him,He shows Himeself, even if we do not mean Him.
What else do you want?
The next sixth pAsruam again
says "oR eNthAnum inRiyEA,vandhiyalumARu,vuNdAnai,
vualgEazhum mUvadi koNdAnai kaNdu koNdanai, nEyumEa" thiru voi mozhi "
1-10-6;
Does He need counting as a
pre-requisite? NO.Why think of Him?.Whenever the need arises He rescues us suo-moto-out
of his volition-voluntarily, wihtout our calling Him or thinking of Him. is
it so? Is there any example.
Yes, when the crisis from
prALayam arose, He swallowed us into safety and safeguarded us.He blessed us
with His divine feet when He measured the three worlds. Is it not
so?
Tailpiece: Why
thiruvallikkEANI? Why not thirukkuRungudi? even for 'say'
purpose.
