Dear All,

Pranams!

We saw about the pushpa kaimkaryam and its anubhavam by Nammazhwar and Thirumangai Azhwar. There was one azhwar who was specifically born for this kaimkaryam. Known as Periyazhwar for his pongum parivu, he was the one who proved that Narayanan is the paradeivam in pandya court. Interesting thing is that this azhwar has also referred to offering eight flowers in his pasuram. They are:

1. Senbakam
2. Mallikai
3. Paathiri
4. Senkazhuneer
5. Punnai
6. Kurukkathi
7. Iruvaatchi
8. Karumukai

Also the eight pushpams refer to eight Atma gunams (Please refer to series on Pushpa, thyAga and bhOga mandapams that was written in the same list few months back).

The opportunity of doing pushpa kaikaryam itself will be the phalam that a soul can get by just reciting these 10 pasurams.

To summarize till now,

1. We started with Nammazhwar's pasurams and his reference to flowers from
any/all of the eight directions, including the kind of pushpa kaimkaryam in
ThiruVenkadam
2. Kaliyan's reference to AshtAkshara mantram as nAmam (TiruVenkadam
pasuram)
3. Kaliyan's reference to eight letters of the Thirumantram itself as eight
flowers
4. Periyazhwar's reference to eight types of flowers

Let us continue with more of this kaimkaryam in the concluding posting.... to follow

aDiyEn,
ramanan
