>>Dear BhakthAs of OppilA Appan :
>>
>>Let us study the second paasuram of Thirumangai Mannan
>>( Periya Thirumozhi : 6.2.2) :
>>
>>maRanthEn Unnai munnam maRantha mathiyin manatthAl
>>     iRanthEn yetthanayum athanAl idumpaik-kuzhiyil
>>piRanthu yeytthu ozhinthEn PerumAn ! ThirumArbhA !
>>     siRanthEn NinnaddikkE ThiruviNNagar MeyavanE
>>
>>(Meaning ) : Oh Lord of ThiruviNNagaram ! In many janmAs before ,
>>adiyEn had svaroopa Jn~Anam about our relationship and at the end of
>>those janmAs , adiyEn forgot however about You and our indissoluble
>>relationship . adiyEn's mind got attached to other matters and as a result 
>>,
>>adiyEn had to suffer through the assumption  of aditional janmAs  and 
>>become
>>a SamsAri again and again . Just as You said : " Yamm YammvApi smaran 
>>bhAvam
>>thyajathyanthE kaLEbharam , tamm tamEvaithi " . adiyEn attained 
>>accordingly
>>different births  as birds , animals or humans and suffered  .
>>Again In all these births  , adiyEn lost the rememberance of You .
>>adiyEn continued to suffer  and this cycle went on and on .
>>adiyEn knew many things in these janmAs , but did not remember
>>You and adiyEn came under the category of " asannEva sa bhavathy " .
>>As a result , adiyEn experienced the sorrowful state of stay in
>>different wombs and became powerless to break the cycles of births
>>and deaths. Oh Omnipotent Swamy , who can banish these miserable
>>cycles of births in different yonis and grant  adiyEn Moksham !
>>Oh Lord , who has given Your chest as the place of esidence for
>>Your  most merciful PirAtti , who pleads for our redemption
>>with You ! adiyEn has finally arrived before You in a state of fulle
>>rememberance of our indissoluable relationship . adiyEn is standing
>>before You with no other recourse ( in  a state of aakinchanyam
>>and ananyagathithvam ) . Please bless adiyEn  with Your Mahaa anugraham !
>>
>>Special Notes :
>>******************
>>Thirumangai focuses on the Sesha-seshi ( Liege-Master) relationship 
>>between
>>the Jeevan and the ParamAthman . Jeevan/Seshan  is eternal (nithya) and an
>>amsam of ParamAthman .  Jeevan , which exists in Brahman all the time is 
>>the
>>possessor of the essential intrinsic attributes such as Jn~Ana and 
>>Aanandha.
>>During the time of creation , the Jeevan gets embodied , has a name and
>>physical form . Its svaroopam ( intrinsic nature) does not undergo any
>>change . The only change that takes place in it after creation is
>>the shrinking and expansion of its dharma bhootha Jn~Anam or
>>attributive knowledge . In the embodied state , Jeevan exercises
>>its rights as the agent of action (karthaa) as prompted by ParamAthma .
>>The activity of the Jeevan (Kartruthvam ) takes place because of
>>ParamAthman , the indweller . The bondage in SamsAram
>>and the liberation from it are caused by ParamAthman .  Through 
>>appropriate
>>Saadhana /UpAsana , the Jeevan is blessed to attain Mukthi and freedom 
>>from
>>the cycles of births and deaths. In the state of Mukthi , the  Jeevan
>>remains a distinct entity  from Iswaran though it is integrally related
>>(apruthak  bhUtan) to Iswaran  as substance and attribute (PrakAri
>>and PrakAra mode of Brahman ). In the state of Mukthi , the liberated
>>Jeevan enjoys at the Supreme abode of ParamAthman all the desired things
>>(BhOgams) along with ParamAthman . Upanishads instruct us that
>>" Moksha is not merely a total liberation for  Jevan from the state of
>>bondage or the cessation of avidhya but it is the existence for Jeevan
>>free from bondage in a higher realm enjoying the bliss of Brahman " .
>>
>>Thirumangai Mannan seeks this deliverance form the cycles of births and
>>deaths and the acquisition of the bliss of enjoying ThiruviNNagarappan and
>>performing nithya kaimkaryam to Him in His Parama Padham .To this Ubhaya
>>lingathva NaaTan , ThiruviNnagarappan ( free from any defects and 
>>possessor
>>of all auspicious attributes ) , Thirumangai appeals for release from the
>>SamsAric sufferings . Thirumangai admits to the Lord that he due to karama
>>vaasanais forgot the aadhAra-aadhEya realtionship between him as
>>a sesha bhuthan  of the Lord and the Lord as Sarva Seshi . Iswaran is the
>>supporter (aadhAra) and the Jeevan and Prakruthi are the supported
>>(aadhEya) . Forgetfulness about that led to repeated births and deaths
>>and stay in different yOnis. In a state of ananya gathithvam and
>>aakinchanyam , Thirumangai approaches now ThiruviNNagarappan
>>and seeks the highest boon of Moksham . He stresses the theological view 
>>of
>>Moksham , the eternal divine service to the Lord and His divine consort at
>>SrI Vaikuntam ( Thiru ViNNagar) . Thirumangai folows the footsteps of 
>>Swamy
>>NammAzhwAr and seeks the boon of " uninterrupted , appropraite service
>>to Sriya: Pathi at all times ( Ozhivil kAlamellAm udanAy manni) . This is
>>recognized as Parama PurushArTam made available to the liberated Jeevan
>>in the state of Mukthi . This is the eternal divine service (Kaimkaryam )
>>that Thirumangai longs for . He longs for the experience of ParipoorNa
>>\BrahmAnadham through nithya , niravadhya Kaimakryam to the Lord
>>and His divine consort at ThiruviNNagaram ( Parama Padham) .
