Life History:

Nammalwar was born in a clan "Vellalar tribe" on the 43rd day of kali yuga on Friday, under the star “Vishakha”, during the sukla pakshi, chathur dashi, in kataka lagna, in the month of vrushabha (May-June), in vasantha ruthu, in the year of Pramadhi, in Thiru kurugoor (near Thirunelveli) in the Pandaya dynasty of Tamil Nadu, to kariyar and Udayanangayar.

The child was extraordinary. For several days, it lived with eyes closed in perfect health, without food (neither breast fed milk nor any other). For days together, it never spoke. Distressed at this, the parents place the child at the shrine of Aadinathar, the deity of Kurugoor, surrendering into Him the entire burden of upbringing the child.

As the child was totally different from the general human nature, he was named Maran. He was also called “Sadagopan” as, unlike other children, he did not allow earthly ignorance to envelope him.

For sixteen long years, Maran sat motionless under the tamarind tree in Adinathar temple without food or drink, eyes closed, in padmasana ( one of the meditative posture), in utter silence. He was verily a SUN in human form with an aura encompassing the universe. He is believed to be the Avatara of Vishwak-Sena, chief of the hosts of Sriman Narayana in Vaikuntam.

Madhurakavi Alwar:

During that period, an elderly Brahmin scholar named Madhurakavi was on his pilgrimage to north Indian shrines. At Ayodhya, the pilgrim saw an extraordinary sweet glowing light as a star on the southern sky. Keen on knowing the source whence it emanated he traveled southward. Even when he reached Srirangam, (near Trichy in Tamil Nadu) the light was visible in far south. He continued his quest till he reached kurugoor, where the light merged with the person in Nammalwar, seated blissfully under the tamarind tree.

Getting Nammalwar to speak:

With great difficulty, Madhura kavi succeeded in drawing out Nammalwar from his deep samadhi. He learnt from Nammalwar the secrets of all the shastras by becoming his disciple. Thenceforward, he remained at his lotus feet, recording the divine poem swelling out of the heart of Nammalwar in great ecstasy of Krishna Bhakti, sometimes rapidly and other times slowly, depending on the intensity of intuition and inspiration. At the very thought of the birth and beauty of Sri Krishna, the Alwar used to go into deep trance for months together.

Nammalwar is the seer of Dravidian Vedas. He sang four immortal poems as the Tamil version of the of the four Vedas – Rig, Sama, Yajur and Atharvanda.

Nammalwar stayed on earth in flesh and blood only for a brief thirty-five years. His return back to Vaikuntam through the Archaradhi gathi has also been sung by him in the penultimate portion of Thiruvaimozhi.

KANNI-NU CHIRUTHAMBU:

Madhurakavi composed "kanni-nun chiruthambu"—a short prabandha of just eleven poems, in praise of Nammalwar, which in tradition occupies a very central place. Madhurakavi spread the music of the poems of Nammalwar far and wie. During those days, it is said that everyone-be he an oarsman, or trader, a chieftain or a Brahmin, reached the transcendent state by merely singing these verses.

The "Sataari" placed on the heads of all the devotees in Vishnu temples is supposed to be Nammalwar himself. All other Alwars are his limbs as brought out in the following invocatory verse:

 

<CENTER>“Bhootam Saraschya, mahadaavya Bhattanatha

Sri Bhakti sara kulashekhara yogi vahaan

Bhakataangri-renu parakala yateendra mishran,

Srimath paraangusa munim pranatosmi Nityam." </CENTER>

It was Sri Rangathaswamy of Sri Rangam who fondly referred to "Sadagopan" as Nammalwar (meaning, my devotee).

After this era, a gap of more than 600 years fell in the path of Vaishnava Bhakthi while religions like Jainism, Saivism etc seemed to grow.

 

In the ninth century, when the Divya Prabhandam, composed by all the Alwars was lost to human memeory, through yogic contact with Nammazhwar, Sriman Nadhamunigal resuscitated all the paasurams(verses) and systematized their singing at the Vishnu Temples. The great Ramanuja fostered this practice universally. He wrote 'Sri Bhashya' keeping the Sri-Sukthis of Nammalwar in mind. Manavala maamunigal and Vedanta desikar, by their compositions and discourses, gave the pride of place - Thiruvaimozhi occupies in Sri Vaishnavam.

Nammalwar's Works:

Nammalwar gave the Tamil version of the Vedas in the following works:—

1. 
   
2. THIRU-VIRUTTAM This constitutes the essence of Rig Veda. Thiru means “Sri”. It is a poem of 100 stanzas each a quadrate. Viruttam is a style of poetry. Viruttam literally means an event. The event of 'falling in love with the Supreme being' is narrated poetically. 'Bridal Mysticism' is symbolized in a mellifluent way.
   
   
   
3. THIRU-ASIRIYAM This constitutes the essence of yajurveda. It is a poem in seven sections or seven poems of unequal length. The breathless flow of the continuity of expression of the sun-lit beauty of the lord takes the reader to ethereal heights. In all, it has 71 lines.
   
   
   
4. PERIYA THIRUVANDADI This constitutes the essence of Atharvana Veda. It is a poem of 87 lyrical stanzas. The style is at once simple and direct, moving and inspiring and transports one to see god face to face.
   
   
   
5. THIRUVAIMOZHI (literally means Divine words) This is the magnum opus of Nammalwar—the treasure of Vaishnavism. it consists of 1102 four lined verses or passurams. These appear in groups of eleven. One group, which is an exception has thirteen paasurams. Each group is known as a Thiruvaimozhi. Ten such groups is called a pathu (meaning ten in Tamil). Thiruvaimozhi therefore has 10 pathus that is 100 thiruvaimozhis and 1102 paasurams. The melody produces by chorus singing of these paasurams by devotees is a feast to the ears.

Thiruvazhunthoor - Sri Devaadi Raja Perumal Temple, Mayavaram

 

 

 

 

 

 

Temple Location :

About the Temple:

This sthalam is a village which is situated in Tanjore district of Tamil Nadu.

It lies in between Mayavaram junctiont and Kuttalam station on the main railway line between Chennai (Madras) to Tajore.

This temple can also be reached by travelling around 7 Kms from Kuttalam and about 8 Kms from Mayavaram.

This Divyadesam is also called with other names such as Azhundoor, Azhundhai, Therazhunthur.

Sthala Puranam:

Uparisaravasu was the king of Sethi Kingdom and was the student of Devaguru Bhragaspathi. He got a chariot which floated in the sky from Lord Indra.

Once he settled a dispute between the rishi's and devas and favour it in the Deva's side.

The rishi's got angry and cursed the king that his chariot would not fly in the sky.

So as an effect to the curse, his chariot got stuck in this place and the king fell infront of the lord. Henceforth this place is called as Therazhunthur (Ther means Chariot).

Lord Narayana sent Garudan and helped him to fly back. As Lord helped the person loved by deva's who was a human he was called Devaadirajan from then on.

Moolavar Devaadirajan is of 10 feet tall having Lord Gauruda to his left and prahalatha along with Markanteya Maharishi to his right. He has Gadhayudham (his weapon) in his left hand. River Cauvery too is there kneeling at his lotus feet.

Utsavar Aamaruviappan stands with a very beautiful calf along with his two wives.

Cow and calf belong to the Deva group, buffulo's belong to Asura group and sheep's belong to Mankind. Lord Krishna thus saves all the living things. As Jeevatma becomes a tamed cow before Lord Krishna and he too behaves as a tamed cow infront of a pure heart, he is called as Aamaruviappa (ie) Aaa means cow (person who is as soft as a cow). Thus the Lord Aamaruviappa is said to inherit the qualities of Lord Krishna (ie) (he contains Lord Krishnas Amsam).

There is a tale regarding Aamaruviappan's arrival at this place. Once Lord Brahma stole all the cows of Ayarpadi which were under Lord Krishna's custody and locked them at Theruzhunthur. Lord Krishna came to know this thro his Yoga maya and created a whole new heard of cows. Lord Brahma then asked Lord Krishna to forgive him. He asked Lord Krishna to stay permenantly at this place and bless all the people who seek his help.

There's a beautiful unjal Mandapam (Unjal - Joola - Swing) in this temple.

Inside the Rajagopuram, poet kamban and his wives images are beautifully carved. (Poet Kamban was born here only) there are also many beautiful images which are in a demolished state.

Manavala Maamunigal has done Mangalasasanam to his place. Utsavar is brought for Thirumanjanam (ceremony of bathing the lord) in river cauvery many times each year.

As an act of Unison, Lord Krishna (ie) Lord Aamaruviappan is dressed up as Lord Rama and brought in Ceremony near the Vedapuriswarar temple (Lord Shiva's temple).

Moolavar has golden (helment) Kreedam, Sagasranama necklace, Dasavathara Udhara Malai, Golden anklet, godess Alarmel mangai in his heart diamond Thiruman (sacared symbol of Vaishnavities).

Thirukkandiyur - Sri Hara Saabha Vimocchana Perumal Temple, Trichy

 

 

 

 

 

 

Temple Location :

About the Temple:

This is situated in Tanjoor, Tamil Nadu. 6 miles away from Tanjoor, 2 miles from Tiruvayyaaru. One bus facility available and no lodging facility.

Sthala Puranam:

The temple of this sthalam is 222 feet in length and 115 feet broad in the breadth.

Lord Shiva, who is one of the popularly called "Mummoorthy" is given the Curse (Saapan, which is due to the bad activity when done on others) when he pinched the head of Lord Brahma and Brahma's head got attached (stuck or pasted) along Shivas hand. After this incident, he got the "Brahmagarthi Thosham", he lost all his wealth and finally, he begged for food and led his life. Since, he begged for food, he is also called as "Pikshandavar". Piksha means begging for some need. And finally he got the Saabba Vimochanam (getting out of the god's Curse (saabham)). This is the puranam that is told here in this sthalam.

In Brahmanda puram, 8 songs are sung and well explained about this temple.

Emperumaan, who is giving seva in Kidantha thirukkolam facing east direction in Utthamar Koil, he is giving seva in this sthalam in Nindra thirukkolam facing east direction.

If anyone gets god's curse from some person, they have to tell the Vimochanam (ie) how to get out of it. But, since Brahma deva was not there, Lord shiva he himself felt for what he has done and since that is the Karma, what has been written for him, he left all the things and led his life as pikshandavar.

The pabham was done by Lord Shiva and the person on who it was done is on Lord Brahma and the person who came to and gave dharshan at the end of the time of the pabham is Lord Vishnu. so, at the end of the Sabha vimochanam, are the three Murthygal, or otherwise called as "Mummoorthigal" was given the seva. Since all the three Murthis gave the Seva at the same time, this Shetram is called "Thirumurthy shetram". The victim who was included in the pabham is Lord Shiva. At the end of the Shabha Vimokshanam, the Victim on whom it is done and that is Lord Brahma, who wants them to get out of it is Lord vishnu, who is the Victim of truth.

The moral of this after doing the crime to someone, it is not a wise thing to go to the court and get the punishment but we can give ourselves that and go along with that, as done by Lord Shiva. Inspite of being a God, eventhough he did the pabham, he did not get out of it, but he really felt for it and begged for food and for all of his needs.

Based on this story only, there were separate Sannadhis for Sriman Narayanan and Brahma devan in Kadhambanoor, Uthamar Koil. Next to this temple is a temple for Lord shiva which is next and opposite to this temple. The temple is called as "Brahma Sirakandeeswarar Koil". Siram means head.

Since, Brahma devan sabham was warned (Kandanam in Tamil) in this sthalam this sthalam is called "Kandiyoor".

Even though, it might be the God who has done the crime, they have to get the pinishment for that. That is the main moral that is told to the world. This is the mian moral which has to be rooted inside every human when going through this sthalapuranam.

Near Kandiyoor, there is a small place called "Kalyanapuram" where some special Utsavams are done for Kalyana Venkateswarar.

The theertham which is found in front of this temple is called "Bhali Theertham" and theertham which is found in west is called "Kabhala Theertham".

The Raja Gopuram is partitioned into 3 thalam.

Both Sri Lakshmi Narasimmar and Chakkratalwar are given the seva in the same place. As infront and back. Since, Narasimmar is behind the wall, it is not possible to worship him. Only Chakratalwar can be worshipped.

The vimaanam of this temple will be like the lotus flower. Sandhaana Gopalan and Navaneedha krishnan are also the Ursavars found in this temple.

Kamalam means Lotus. Since, the Shetram is also called as Kamala shetram, the pushkaraniis Kamala Pushkarani, the utsavar is Kamalanathan, and the thaayar is Kamala valli, this temple is said to built along with Panja Kamala way. Panja means five.

The Brahma devans sculpture is taken out and along with saraswathi devi, it is kept inside shivas temple and Lord shiva is kept where the Brahma's sculpture used to placed.

Since, Lord Shiva got the Brahmagarthi dosham, Lord Brahma's sculpture was kept inside shiva's temple. Along the south side of this temple is a sannadhi for Sri Vedantha Desikar, but not utsavar is available.

Yatiraja Saptati

 

 

 

 

Several true devotees of the Lord with a high degree of acharya-bhakti have given expression to the sentiment that in the several works that go to make up the 4000 Divya Prabandham there is none to equal Ramanuja Nurrandadi sung in praise of Ramanuja, the great Sri Vaishnava acharya. In the same manner one can assert that out of the stotras of Vedanta Desika, Yatiraja Saptati, the stotra in praise of the same great Acharya, stands unrivalled. This is not saying anything derogatory to the other stotras, nahi nindaa-nyaya. Yatiraja Saptati breathes Desika's bhakti, often an infatuation, towards Ramanuja whom he takes a pleasure in referring to as Yatiraja, King among Sanyasins. According to Desika, sexual thoughts may beset Brahma, Siva and even Narayana, but never a votary of Yatisvara (45). Lord Varadaraja, the black cloud perched on the Elephant Hill (Kari-saila) is able to shower more than the desired benefits on His devotees only because of His having drunk deep from the Ocean of Nectar that is Yatiraja's Daya (62). Yatiraja is an incarnation of the Lord's five weapons (12), and/or of Vishvaksena, the commander-in-chief of the Lord's army in Vaikuntha (32), and/or of the Lord Himself (63). Curiously neither Amudanar in his Ramanuja Nurrandadi, nor Desika in Yatiraja Saptati refers to Ramanuja being Sesha avatara (incarnation of Adisesha) as popularly believed by all. One may read and re-read Yatiraja Saptati any number of times: he will not be able to make up his mind whether Desika's fascination is for Yatiraja, the Person, or for his works, or for the siddhanta evolved and postulated in those works. That Vedanta Desika was first drawn towards Yatiraja because of his works is seen from the first sloka in his praise in this work (10). Desika's eulogy of the works in sloka 33 can be taken as typical of his great esteem and admiration. The reason is that only Ramanuja's works truly reflect (as in a mirror), Lakshmi-kaanta (Consort of Sri) as He really is, whereas in other systems He is seen distorted, if He is seen at all. Sloka 16 also postulates that the Tattva known as Hari can be seen whole and entire (akshatam) only in Yatiraja's siddhanta. A study of Ramanuja's works under a proper acharya will preserve our purity and prevent us from straying in to faulty systems of thought (16). All the greatness and glory that Desika achieved in his life are attributed to his association with the system promulgated by Yatiraja (73) and to the blessings showered on him by great acharyas immersed in Yatiraja's yaSas (renown) (71).

Kali Santarana Upanishad

 

 

 

 

 

Om ! May He protect us both together; may He nourish us both together;

May we work conjointly with great energy,

May our study be vigorous and effective;

May we not mutually dispute (or may we not hate any).

Om ! Let there be Peace in me !

Let there be Peace in my environment !

Let there be Peace in the forces that act on me !

 

Hari Om ! At the end of Dvapara-Yuga, Narada went to Brahma and addressed him thus: "O Lord, how shall I, roaming over the earth, be able to across Kali ?" To which Brahma thus replied: "Well asked. Hearken to that which all Shrutis (the Vedas) keep secret and hidden, through which one may cross the Samsara (mundane existence) of Kali. He shakes off (the evil effects of) Kali through the mere uttering of the name of the Lord Narayana, who is the primeval Purusha". Again Narada asked Brahma: "What is the name ?" To which Hiranyagarbha (Brahma) replied thus:

1. Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

2. These sixteen names (words) are destructive of the evil effects of Kali. No better means than this is to be seen in all the Vedas.

These (sixteen names) destroy the Avarana (or the centripetal force which produces the sense of individuality) of Jiva surrounded by the sixteen Kalas (rays). Then like the sphere of the sun which shines fully after the clouds (screening it) disperse, Parabrahman (alone) shines."

Narada asked: ‘O Lord, what are the rules to be observed with reference to it ?" To which Brahma replied that there were no rules for it. Whoever in a pure or an impure state, utters these always, attains the same world of, or proximity with, or the same form of, or absorption into Brahma.

Whoever utters three and a half Crores (or thirty-five millions) times this Mantra composed of sixteen names (or words) crosses the sin of the murder of a Brahmana. He becomes purified from the sin of the theft of gold. He becomes purified from the sin of cohabitation with a woman of low caste. He is purified from the sins of wrong done to Pitris, Devas and men. Having given up all Dharmas, he becomes freed at once from all sins. He is at once released from all bondage. That he is at once released from all bondage is the Upanishad.

Hari Om Tat Sat !

 

Om ! May He protect us both together; may He nourish us both together;

May we work conjointly with great energy,

May our study be vigorous and effective;

May we not mutually dispute (or may we not hate any).

Om ! Let there be Peace in me !

Let there be Peace in my environment !

Let there be Peace in the forces that act on me !

 

Here ends the Kalisantarana Upanishad belonging to the Krishna-Yajur-Veda.
