Dear AndAl BhakthAs and BhAgavathAs,
adiyEn is extremely overwhelmed by seeing lot of articles
on the event of Thiruvaadipooram day of Sri AndAl by many
scholars. It greatly shows the affection of childrens over
their mother (Its natural!!!). Yes, we indeed know that
Bhoomi pirAttiyar took birth as Godhai in this earth to
recover us from this samsAric ocean.
When bhoomi pirAttiyAr (earth) was abducted by asurAs
and hidden under the ocean, emperumAn took VarAhavathAram
to rescue her. The size of emperumAn during this Varaha
avatharam is explained well in "Vishnu puranam" as the
Himalaya and mEru mountains became the 'parals' for the
'sathangai' worn by Varaha peruman. EmperumAn grown into
such a gigantic size inorder to lift the bhoomi pirAttiyar
without shaking or disturbance. The puranam says that not even the
sands or drop of water got shaked or disturbed during the
lift by emperumAn. Such was the great love HE had on
bhoomi pirAttiyar.
Under many circumstances emperumAn showed his care
and affection over bhoomi pirAttiyAr.
1) Whenever there is threat or problem from external
to bhoomi pirAttiyAr, he will rescue her as he done
during Varaha avatharam.
2) During pralaya kaalam, emperumAn swallow the entire
thing into HIS beautifull stomach.
3) During srushti kaalam, emperumAn spit(vumizhnthu)
out the things which were swallowed during pralayam.
"moovulagum vundu vumizhtha muthalva..."
"aalamaa marathin ilaimEl oru baalaganAi
gnaalam yElum undAn.............." - thirupAnAlwar
4) EmperumAn measured with his lotus feet, one feet
covering the entire earth -
"Ongi ulagalantha utthaman..."
After the uththAranam from the ocean, still bhoomi
pirAttiyAr was shivering at the laps of Varahar. Now
Lord Varahar asked the reason, our pirAttiyAr asked
the way for ujjeevanam of jIvAtmAs like us. She told
"Swamin, adiyen knows that you will come and rescue
me. But help our childrens to know the path and attain
at your lotus feet who is dipped under the samsAric
ocean". Mother will allways feel for the goodness of
her childrens.
Varahar tells the way. which is known as
"Varaha sarama slokam" which was reflected by Bhoomi
pirAttiyAr during her incarnation as Sri AndAl in the
thirupaavai pasuram.
" ...................thoomalar thoovi thozhudu
vaaayinaal paadi, manaththinaal sinthikka...."
The Action (Karma), Vaaku , Manam, all these three
should be dedicated to emperumAn. THis will eradicate
our sins and make way to reach HIM by surrendering at
HIS lotus feet.
To reflect this, bhoomi pirAttiyAr took avatar as
Andal and passed the important message of how to
attain salvation from this samsAric world.
To show our affection towards HER, lets follow the
words from Sri Andal and be good child to HER.
AndAl thiruvadigalE saranam:
adiyen
senthil.
