Guest guest Report post Posted August 2, 2001 Dear Bhaagavthaas, Adiyen has been hearing the Ranganatha Panchakam sung by a group of artists conducted by Shri Chitraveena Ravikiran who had released a CD for Sri Ranganatha Koil, Pomona fund raising. Adiyen have the CD. Adiyen is not able to explain the sweeteness of those words which were used to expalin the "Anatha Sayanam" posture of Sri Ranganathar of Srirangam. Adiyen is more captivated by those Sanskrit Words used by Sri Oothukkaadu Venkata Subbaiyer in his "Ranganatha Panchakam". Does anyone has the script for this or is there any source to get this script. Adiyen would like to request all members of the list to hear these verses on Sri Ranganathar. It is so captivating and the way it has been rendered by the artists make one feel so "sameepam" (near) to our most lovable perumaal "Sri Ranganathar" in his "Bhujanga Sayanam". For the first time in adiyen's life, adiyen was able to visualize the beauty and greatness of perumaal's Bhujanga Sayanam by hearing these verses. Adiyen would request everyone to hear it thinking that we are very nearer to Sri Ranganathar and visualize in mind, the geratness of his Bhujanga Sayanam at Sri Rangam.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 2, 2001 SrI: Dear Sri Narayanan Veeraraghavan, In full accordance with your name (Veeraraghavan), you have paid your obeisance and shown your devotion to Lord SrI Ranganathan. Swamy Desikan said ,"thOlAdha thani veeran thozhudha koil". He is Lord Rama's Kula deivam, kula NAtham.. Yamunacharya declares, in SthOthra Rathnam too as Kula dhanam and Kula dhaivam.. Sri Ramanuja asserts in Gadyatrayam.. mamakula nAtham, mama kula daivatham.. He is Our Kula nAThan' Our Kula dhanam. Our Kula Deivam. His Beauty is indescribable in words. ayyO! ivan azhagenna azhiyaa azhagudaiyaan.(says Kambar on Lord Rama). He is never perishable Beauty personified. (This is on Lord Rama). Lord Rama Himself is captivated by Lord Rangan's Beautiful ThirumEni. asmadhAchAryan SrI PaRavaakkOttai Andavan in his upanyasam mentioned this: When Rama was performing ThiruvArAdhanam to Lord Ranganathan, SitA PiraaTTi accompanies him doing kaimkaryams.. Her already large beautiful, well laid out, ruddy lined shining eyes, opened wider in admiration.. (Valmeeki addresses her at this stage as "visAlAkshi.." (wide eyed..) Why wide eyd now? Because, She looks at Rama. So Charming. So Divinely Beautiful. Embodiment of Beauty..and then her eyes shift to the Lord whom Sri Rama is worshipping. wow! He is grander, more beautiful, more divine! more charming! Wait a minute. Rama looked as an Ultimate Beauty personified. How come Lord Rangan looks so now! She again goes back to Rama's ThirumEni and His enjoyment of ThiruvArAdhanam. She could not believe. There appears to be a competition between the Two.. Her eyes open wider in admiration of BOTH.. ThoNdaradippodi AzhwAr for no reason says.."icchuvai thavira yaan pOi indra lOkam ALum acchuvai peRinum vENdEn. Aranga maa nagaruLaanE! Oh Lord Ranganatha of Srirangam! (or Pomona!) Leaving this taste of enjoying Your ThirumEni, even if granted to rule the Paramapadham, I do not want that. (Because Enjoying Him at Paramapadham is like going from one airconditioned hall to the other hall. While enjoying Him at Srirangam is like going underneath a Huge Banyan tree for a cool shadow after being in a scorching Heat of samsaaric afflictions. Which is more enjoyable and more relieving! (veyyilil iruppavanukkuthaan nizhal arumai theiryum.). AzhwAr also tells: kudathisai mudiyai vaitthu guNathisai paadham neetti vadthisai pinbu kaatti then thisai lankai nOkki kadal niRak kadavuL enthai arvaNait thuyilumaa kaNdu udal enakku urugumaalO? en seyghEn ulagatthIrE? What a sweet Pasuram! The Lord Ranganathan- who has His Thirumudi in the West; Thiruvadi towards East; back facing North and the Eyes looking to South (lankA)..(as assured to Sri VisbhIshaNAzhwAn) is of Blue hued Ocean coloured, Divinely Beautiful Form. Oh! My body is melting.. what can I do, oh wordly people! AzhwAr says: Not just my heart melts looking at the Beautiful Divya mangaL vigraham of Lord Rangan. Also my Body is melting. I am not able to stand. (That is why there are huge pillars at the sannidhi says- KulasekharAzhwAr). He addresses the world (us).. What can I do? tell me. Question: why does he address us (world)? why not Nithasooris, or the Lord Himself.. Perhaps, they can give soultion to AzhwAr's problem. Not us. Then, why should he address us.. Because: We simply go into the sannidhi, look at the Lord.. (thinking of our own worries, whom to cheat, how to make faster buck.. how to avoid this.. how to get that promotion.. how to anti campaign aganist the colleague who is in a better position to get elevated in the office.. is all what we could think of, when dIpArAdhanai is shown..) and come out completely unaffected by the Lord's ThirumEni azhaghu.. AzhwAr is simply stunned at our (no) reaction. That is why he asks us: Tell me world! How are you able to maintain composure looking at Such a Beauty! Hats off to you all! (as read in archives from Sri Vijay Triplicane's Post quoting vyAkhyAna chakravartthi- Sri Periyavacchaan Pillai's vyakhyanam- Thanks Sri Vijay) Pat yourselves on the back for being unhurt by the Lord's Beuaty!
