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.

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!

 

Sri RanganayikA samEtha Sri Ranganatha ParabrahmaNE Namah:

 

Regards

Narayana Narayana
