Dear Smt. Sumithra Varadharajan

I am amazed by this dialogue. Only for people who have such pure affection towards PErarulAlan such a lucid conversation is possible. I am proud that I am associated in someway with people like you and also jealous and sad that I cannot be even one trillionth like this.

Adiyen

Sampath Kumar...

[The chat continues]



Adiyen: Swamy emperumAnAr who is near and dear to the hearts of each and every Srivaishnava today 
who proudly declares him/her to be "Adiyen ramanuja dAsan/dAsee" considered thirukachchi 
Nambigal as his first mAnaseeka guru. Nambigal refused to be his acharya due to his caste and put 
emperumAnAr into the divine feet of his acharya Sri Aalavandaar who graced emperumAnAr with his 
divine katAksham "Aa Mudalvan evan"



PErarulAlan: yeah I remember Aalavandaar coming running from Srirangam to see 
elaiyAzhvar



Adiyen: And EmperumAnAr greatly wished for the prasadam of thirukachchi Nambigal 
("pOnagam seidha sEdam taruvarEl punidhamandrE") and was highly disappointed 
not getting the same.



PErarulAlan: I used the same as one of the reasons to get him out of samsArA 
and granted him sanyasam and made him ethirajar.



Adiyen: So the role of thirukachchi Nambigal for this "emperumAnAr darisanam" 
is beyond words.



PErarulAlan: What doubt in it!



Adiyen: Then why haven't the Srivaishnavic community realized it?



PErarulAlan: Why do you say so?



Adiyen: If they have realized the same shouldn't they atleast show their 
gratefulness towards that great acharya by taking part in the grand 
thirunakshatra utsavam and acharya's kainkaryam?



PErarulAlan: hmm.



Adiyen: We found only the local people and the local Srivaishnavites in service 
at the temple on that day. Are all others so busy that they are unable to join 
in the acharya kainkaryam? After all, the temple is also not in a remote place 
it is well connected to all parts of chennai. When so many people can crowd in 
kanchi on your garuda sevai day why haven't atleast a part of them unable to 
join in the mahotsavam of the divine acharya? Why is the enthusiasm lagging 
when it comes to acharya kainkaryam?



PErarulAlan: Because I give them all lowkika pleasures and having my darshan is 
believed to give moksha to all but the acharyas are capable of granting my 
divine anubhavams and my kainkaryam only.



Adiyen: Why don't people understand the greatness of bhagavat/bhAgavata 
kainkaryam?



PErarulAlan: That is kali. I sent the azhvars and acharyas to change this 
people. All in vain.



Adiyen: Swamy emperumAnAr did do a great job else there would have been 
absolutely no one to really think about the arulicheyals and bhagavat kalyana 
gunas and the guru paramparai. But the problem is some very fine points shown 
by emperumanar in words and practice are being ignored.



PErarulAlan: What do you want to convey?



Adiyen: Azhagiya manavala perumal nAyanar following the footsteps of Swamy emperumAnAr 
clearly states in Acharya hrudhayam that it is a great blunder to research about the 
caste of a bhagavata. He says that it is equal to researching whether we were born from 
our mother's womb ("mAttruyOni parikshayOdu okkum") But still our attitude 
haven't changed. Probably that is also one of the reasons for Srivaishnavas to ignore 
thirukachchi nambigal's utsavam. EmperumAnAr wanted to give all Srivaishnavas 
irrespective of their caste or gender equal footing in front of lord and wanted to bring 
all bhagavat bhakthas/prapannas under a single umbrella. But to what extend have we 
fulfilled the wish of that great acharya who has done so much to uplift us?



PErarulAlan: That is not that easy



Adiyen: It is you who have created all these differences



PErarulAlan: How else shall I run this leela vibhoothi?



Adiyen: But...



PErarulAlan: I understand your feelings. Nambi doesn't need any crowd. The utsavam is 
going in a grand manner though there are only a few Srivaishnavas still with lot of love 
towards Nambi. I am enjoying his utsavam with great joy. When nambi dances in 
"oyyAli" I peep out of my sannadhi and enjoy and nambi enjoys seeing my happy 
face. When nambi goes round in paththi ulAthal I give darshanam to him in front and hence 
he enjoys the walk with a smiling face. The Srivaishnavas in nambi's service (including 
the small boys who with great joy fan the acharya who did fanning service to me) enjoy 
nambi's smile. What else do we need? We all enjoy together we don't need any crowd who 
come and chat unnecessary matters during this divine anubhavam. Nambi enjoys me I enjoy 
him we live happily why worry about other bhakya heenas? Be happy that I haven't left you 
also in that list.



Adiyen: Oh! No my lord whatever mistake adiyen may commit please don't leave adiyen to 
fall into this gutter of samsAram without such divine anubhavams. As a Srivaishnavite 
adiyen can never ask you for single anubhavam so please add more bhagavatas into that 
list. It is not fare for you to say them as bhakya heenAs with your mouth. Please bless 
them with the acharya kainkaryam and let us all enjoy together ("koodiyirundhu 
kulirvOm")



PErarulAlan: Don't worry the sattrumarai of Thirukachchi Nambi this year is 
going to very very grand. There will be a grand ghosti of bhagavatas and a 
grand dhadheeyArAdhanam will be held.



Adiyen: Thanks a lot Oh! Lord. On that day we really enjoyed the divine sevai. Moreover 
it was a treat to see you and thirukachchi nambigal adorning the garlands adiyen made 
with love. It was a treat to see my husband fanning the acharya who did life long fanning 
service to you. Not stopping with that the acharya blessed him with his Sripada thAngum 
kainkaryam (carrying the acharya over his shoulders). On top of all these we were blessed 
with the "pOnagam seidha sEdam of the acharya" which swamy emperumAnAr greatly 
wished for. What else do we really need? And you blessed us with all these in a single 
evening. What to say about your krupai? Finally we started back since it was time to 
leave but the acharya didn't leave us half hearted without the veedhi purappadu sevai. He 
blessed us with that also and sent us home with heart filled anubhavams.



PErarulAlan: That is the greatness of my dear bhagavatas who will always grant you only poorna (complete) anubhavams.


Adiyen: EmperumAnE! My humble request to you. Please bless all Srivaishnavas with these 
divine anubhavams. Let the ruchi of bhagavat/bhAgavat/acharya kainkaryam grow in this 
world. Let bhagavat/bhAgavata satsangams grow and let the world become a peaceful world 
to live in filled with divine anubhavams so that all of us will happily say, 
"achcuvai perinum vEndEn"



PErarulAlan: sarvE janA: sukinO bhavantu! Sarva mangalAni santu!



[The chat thus comes to an end]
