Shrimathe RamanujAya namaha|
In continuation with the previous mail on Sriman
Narayanan as Paramathma, adiyEn would like to throw
more light on that based on the NambAduvAn vaibhavam
which is well explained in Kaisika Puranam.
Dear Bhagavathas,
NambAduvAn was a devotee of Thiru-k-kurungudi
emperumAn. During every ekAdasi, he used to go up to
temple and hymns some pasuram, performs mangalAsasanam
to emperuman and will return to his house happily. One
day when he was on the way to temple, caught up by a
brahmarakshasu (an evil soul) and it told him that, it
wants him as food.
NambAduvAn said that, he will come back after reciting
some pasurams ( NambAduvAn sings using Kaisika Pann),
then it can took him as food.
But brahmarakshasu was not in a position to leave
NambAduvAn, because it felts that he may escape. Hence
NambAduvAn started promising to brahmarakshasu that,
if
he didnt turned back after completing mangalAsAsanam
to emperuman he may became that, or he may get the
pApam like that, etc.., etc.,, On hearing all those,
still brahmarakshasu was not in a position to leave
nambAduvAn to perform mangalAsAsanam to emperumAn.
Now, NambAduvAn promised that, "IF ANYONE SAYS THAT
LORD SRIMAN NARAYANAN IS EQUIVALENT TO, or ON PAR
WITH, or INFERIOR TO SOMEONE ELSE, then WHAT THE
PAAPAM and NARAKAM( hell) that HE WILL GET, I WILL
ALSO GET THE SAME, if i dont returned back to you"
Once on hearing this, the brahmarakshasu IMMEDIATELY
released the hands of NambAduvAN and said that,
"IN THIS LOKAM, THERE IS NO SIN GREATER THAN THIS!"
>From the above NambAduvAn vaibhavam (Kaisika Puranam,
which still takes place in thiru-k-kurungudi divya
desam every year during Kaisika ekadasi festival),
it's clear that EVEN BRAHMARAKSHASU knows that Lord
Sriman
Narayanan is paramAtma, paramporul. There is no one
who is on par with, or equivalent or superior than
HIM!!
NOW ITS THE QUESTION OF WHETHER, HOW MUCH WE
UNDERSTOOD
AND BELIEVE THAT HE IS PARAMATMA !!!
adiyEn,
senthil.
Note: The next day after Kaisika ekAdasi day, early
morning Namperumal (Sri Rangam) will enter into
santanu mandapam with Karpoora PadiyEtra sEvai which
is coming very shortly this year.
