SwAmi Nam AzhwAr in the first
ThriuvAiMozhi talks of Supremacy of the Lord, prescribed do-s and donts in the
second, fainted on realising the saulabyam of the EmperumAn, in third, sent
ambassadors in the fourth, experiences The Almighty's SEla guNam in the
fifth and explains that worshipping HIm is the simplest thing, in the
sixth. In this he declares that a flower will do for this divine purpose. ' ..purivadhuvum pugai,pUvEA' 1-6-1 of ThiruvAi-mOzhi.
Sri Thirumangai Mannan, who follows
the footsteps of mARAn and goes on to elucidate the teachings of parAnkusan,
explains not only the efficacy of worhsip with flowers but also goes on to
narrate various flowers. That he dedicates these to his beloved ThirukkuRunkudi
nambi is well known.
'nArAr
iNDai' The dense flower, the mullai in the kollai, the kuravu malar, the
scent of mountain flower all adorn this divya-dhEsam-s. Muster these as a
garland and place it fresh at the thiruvadi of Nambi, recommends
Kaliyan.
Here comes the masterpiece in this
regard.
'Go for the unique flower and
submit it at the eternal flower' is Sri Nam-AzhwAr's pAsuram. What is the unique
flower and is there a flower which never gets spoilt? Yes. The unique flower is
ones 'jEVAthmA'-Athma pushpam- and the eternal -blemishless flower is His
Thiruvadi. Submit Your soul to EmperumAn, is the
prescripiton.
'nADAdha malar nADi
nAdORum nArANanthan-vADAdha malaraDik kEzh vaikkava vagukkinRu--"
1-4-9;
This is what kaliyan did. No sooner
he entered ThirukkuRunkudi he realised the joy in this divya-dhEsam. He
ultimately settled down there. Apparantly, the Almighty had salvaged his soul
there and he spent the rest of his life, as if this is
Thiru-nAdu.
What a Great thing. Despite pirATTi
around, the Lord settles in his mind. A great grace '..ThirumAmagaLaip peRRum ..en nenjidam
kOil koNdA pEAr aruLALan.." 9-5-10; Periya
ThiruMozhi.
What is Great life for one? The
retrieval of our soul from the wordly attachments and eternal kainkaryam at His
divine feet. Thirumangai mannan fell at vadivazhagiya nambi and lives there
eternally and worhsips the Lord in place of swAmi nAm-AzhwAr -Thiruvadi thozhal in adhyayana utsavam. The final
journey towards parama-padham is on granting vision to kaliyan who leaves this
world permanently having the vision of Nambi-malai nambi.
That Nambi had indeed elevated Him
and escalated him to exalted level is
crystal clear from the
words "Hey SrEvaishNavites.Come on! See here. This is life . This
ThirukkuRunkudi has given the real vAzhvu'
and that is kaliyan for you
having presented his jEvAthmA at the lotus feet of ThirukkuRunkudi nambi
proclaiming to one and all
'VAzhak kaNdoAm'
