From the desk of Dr. V. Sadagopan

|| Sri VaikunTa EkAdasi day & the 5th day of Dhanur MAsam ||

On this sacred day of VaikunTa EkAdasi also known as MukkoTi EkAdasi, Bheeshama EkAdasi, KrishNa BhagavAn is said to have performed GithOpadesam to his student ArjunA on the battle field of Kurukshethram. Hence this day is also known as GeethA Jayanthi day.

On this holiest of holy days in SrivaishNavA calendar , Sri Ranganathan comes out of His AasthAnam and enters the VaikunTa vaasal followed by throngs of devotees. During the Adhyayana uthsavam coming to a splenderous conclusion on VaikunTa EkAdasi day , NammAzhwAr performs his SaraNAgathi. Thirumangai initiated the Adhyayana Uthsavam and it has been carried out ever since by all of our Acharyas and the Uttama Nambhis serving the Lord at His Bhoga MaNtapam known as Bhuloka VaikunTam. The Various Gathis (Nadais) demonstrated by the SrI Paadham ThAngees of Lord Ranganatha such as Simha Gathi , Vyagra Gathi, Sarpa Gathi and Rishabha Gathi have deep esoteric and Yogic significance. The travel of Kundalini sakthi through Sushumna Naadi to SahasrAram and the darsanam of the Lord there in the form of a resplendent Jyothi is referred to by Swami Desikan in the first slokam of Sri Bhagavath Dhyana SopAnam:

ANTHARJYOTHI: KIMAPI YAMINAAM ANJANAM YOGA DHRUSHTe : CHINTAA RATNAM SULABHAMIHA NA:

8

SIDDHI MOKSHAANURUPAM I DHEENAA NAATHA VYSANA SAMANAM DAIVATHAM DIAVATHAANAAM DIVYAM CHAKSHU: SRUTHIPARISHATHAAM DRUSYATEH RANGAMADYEH II

Swami Desikan emulates the beautiful experience of ThiruppANAzhwar described by latter in the ten verses of AmalanAdhipirAn in his Sthothram. The first describes the oLi pizhambhu (Jyothi), which is residing in the Yogi's sahsrAram, which is the same as the one resting on Adhiseshan a the middle of the two cauveris in the island of Srirangam. Natha Muni practised the very same Yogam and revealed it to his sishyAs through his AruLiccheyal known as Yoga Rahasyam , which is no longer available to us.

Pointedly, Swami Desikan chooses the phrases YaminAm for Yogis, Antha: Jyothi : (Internal effulgence at the thousand petalled lotus in one's head), Yoga Dhrushteh: (the JnanakkaNN) and goes onto describe the blessings given by that resplendent Jyothi experienced through One or other YogAs taught by GeethAchaaryan to ArjunA.

Swami states that this Jyothi is known as " Siddhi MokshAnurupam ChintA ratnam (The chinthAmani/divine , wish yielding gem stone , which gives the Moksham as well as Bhogam in this universe). That Jyothi also has the power to be " Dheena Anaatha Vyasana Samanam ". It banishes the sorrows of the powerless , who are unable to practice the tough YogAs and those , who have no one to protect them (AnAthais). Swami Desikan concludes this powerful first slokam by revealing that this Jyothi is Daivatham DaivathAnAm or the supreme Lord of all Gods and is resting in the middle of Srirangam practising Yoga NidrA.

Like ThiruppANAzhwAr, AndAL merged with this illustrious Jyothi at Srirangam. She climbed Sri RanganathA's serpent bed and merged with Him as His chosen bride. Until then, Sri Ranganatha according to a slokam of GodhA sthuthi of Swami Desikan was anxiously looking in the southern direction (towards Srivilliputthur) for AndAL to complete her Prabhandhams and journey to His side. (NidhraaLunApi niyatham nihithA : KatakshA :). Even as he was sleeping in Yoga Nidra , RanganathA was often opening His eyes anxiously to see whether AndAL was ready to travel to His asthAnam and become His bride.

Such is the glory of this day and that of Sri Godha Piratti and Her consort Sri RanganaathA.

Ekadasi

By: Tamarapu Sampath Kumaran

RAMA EKADASI

HARIBODHINI EKADASI

Falls during Kartik (October–November)

19

RAMA EKADASI

The history of this Ekadasi is found in the Brahma Vaivarta Purana where Lord

Krishna tells King Yudhisthira about the history of Chandrabhaga and her

deceased husband Shobhana. How Chandrabhaga could transfer the merits of her

Ekadasi fast to her husband is stated in this chapter. Sins and evil deeds can be

washed away by observing a vrat on this day.

HARIBODHINI EKADASI

This chapter is narrated by Lord Brahma to his son Narada in the Skanda Purana,

where Lord Brahma tells how Lord Visnu and other demigods get up on this day.

Kartika month ends on this day. The Hindu devotees believe that Lord Vishnu

woke up from his Yoga Nidra (cosmic sleep) on this day

In a Leap year (Purshottam Maasa) there is one extra

month so 2 additional Ekadasis are there.

PADMINI EKADASI

PARAMA EKADASI

PADMINI EKADASI

In this chapter Lord Krishna describes the rules and regulations, as well as the

benefits regarding the Ekadasi to Yudhisthira. Lord Krishna also narrates about the

history of Kartaviryarjuna's mother Padmini, which Pulastya muni recites to

Narada. This Ekadasi appears on the extra month of every leap year and hence very

special. Whoever observes this Ekadasi will have all his desires fulfilled and surely

attain to the spiritual abode of Krishna.

20

PARAMA EKADASI

Like Padmini Ekadasi this Ekadasi also appears on the extra month of every leap

year. Fasting on this Ekadasi bestows the great benediction of an enjoyable life and

ultimate liberation from birth and death, nullifies all kinds of sins and removes all

miseries caused by poverty. The history of a brahmana Sumedha and his wife

Pavitra is narrated by Lord Krishna to Yudhisthira.

Though religious importance is attached to all Ekadasis, specific significance is

attached to certain Ekadasis

Vaikunta Ekadasi is one the important and auspicious days to the Hindus. It is

dedicated to Lord Vishnu. It occurs in the Hindu calander month of Margazi

(December and January). Also called the 'Mukkoti Ekadasi', Mokshada Ekadasi”

when observed, it bestows liberation from the cycle of birth and death. The

significance of Vaikunta Ekadasi is mentioned in the 'Padma Purana'.

Fasting on Ekadasi is considered holier than any other religious observation. And

according to Vishnu Purana, fasting on Vaikuntha Ekadasi is equivalent to fasting

on the remaining 23 Ekadasis of the year

Vaikunta stands for Vai+kunta whichmeans where there is no deficiency (kunta).

The ego self "i" suffers from a feeling of deficiency. Because of identification of

infinite self with limited body mind complex, the ego self always feels lacking.

When the ego self drops in total surrender to the Lord, we attain Vaikunta - deep

bliss and peace of the Spirit - Atman. Vaikunta Ekadasi fasting is for attaining

liberation from the ego self.

Vishnu opened the gate of Vaikuntam (his abode) for two demons in spite of their

being against Him. They demons asked for the boon that whoever listens to their

story and sees the image of Vishnu coming out of the door, called Vaikunt Dwar,

will reach Vaikunt as well. Temples all over India make a door kind of structure

for devotees to walk through on this day.

21

On the day of Vaikunta Ekadasi, Lord Krishna taught Bhagavad gita. The eighteen

chapters of Bhagavad gita present the moksha shastra - secrets of Liberation.

Through the path of Gnana, Bhakti and Karma, one reaches liberation. Bhagavad

gita is the key to open the locks of the gates of Vaikunta. Study of Bhagavad gita,

teaching of Bhagavad gita, practicing Bhagavad gita opens the Gate of Vaikunta.

It is believed that on the day of the Vaikunta ekadasi, Devatas and Asuras churned

the milky ocean. As per Hindu belief Milky ocean represents the satvik mind.

Devatas and Asuras represent the positive and negative thoughts.

It can be compared that churning produced the halahala – poison, of deep routed

samskaras and vasanas in us. Many powers of the mind - siddhis manifest

represented by jewels coming out of Milky ocean, Dhanvantari – the Divine doctor

appearing (representing the healing abilities of sadhak), and Mahalaxmi

(representing Divine qualities - shat sampatti) appearing. Finally, amrita - nectar

appears. Nectar of wisdom, Nectar of enlightenment and Nectar of liberation. This

is the day Lord Shiva drank poison and hence Ekadasi is also called Nanjunda

ekadasi. Shiva represents - adi Guru. Who drinks the poison of the samskara and

vasanas of human life.

The significance of Vaikunta Ekadasi and the splendour of the observance of that

special Ekadasi can be witnessed by devotees at Srirangam Temple.

DHARMA STHOTHRAM

Part 193.

Kshobhanah, Devah

In Adhyayana uthsavam, Pagal pathu uthsavam ,is taking place this year from 1 1 2014 to 10 1 2014. Then Irappatu or Thiruvaimozhi utsavam will be followed from Vaikunta Ekadasi day from 11 1 2014 to 20 1 2014. Iyarpa satrumurai will be on 21 1 2014. When everybody seeks blessings from Sriman Narayana, Azhwars in Tamil offered their prayers ,and even blessings to Him as Thiruppallandu and other Mangala sasanam. This Bakthi through Tamil pasurams is not only a great form but also it reached a full perfection. The immortal Nalayira divya prabhandam songs are recited before Sriman Narayana in all Vaishnavite temopleswith much fanfare and Alankaram to Utsavar in the company of Azhwars. Vishnuchithar,is called as Periazhwar. His daughter Andal, is the only female Azhwar .Thirumazhi Azhwar is called as Thirumazhisai piran , while main deity of Kumbakonam temple Aravamuthan is called as Aramuthaazhwan . Thiruppavai of Andal said to be Vedam Anaithukkum vithagum Kothai Thamizh is recited throughout Margazhi including Tirumalai during Suprabatham time. Madurakavi Azhwar just wrote about Nammazhwar, not even to Sriman Narayana ,but attained the status of Azhwar .Above all, Nammazhwar, called as 'Our Azhwar' is with various names like Maran, Stakopan, Parankusan. His compositions include Thiruvaimozhi,Thiruvirutham,Thiruvasiriyam, Periya Thiruvanthathi.Thiruvaimozhi is just an essence of sama veda with 1102 pasurams , and all his four prabhandams totally 1296 are written in andhathi style,Nine types of metres arranged in 100 decades ,which are divided in ten sections known as pathu . This is thus recited one pathu in one day for ten

41

days during irapathu utsavam. .Most of the pasurams indicate that the power of divine namas is ,all our sins get absolved and reduced to ashes just as object cast in fire. When one hears or utters or just thinks His namas or all these pasurams which hails His Supreme nature, it is sure to get HIs blessings, grace and the way for eternity. Now on Dharma shthothram ....,

In 374 th nama Kshobhanah it is meant as 'The Agitator'. Sriman Narayana is the creator of commotion. At the time of creation He entered at His own will the changeable prakrti and the changeless purusa and created agitation among them. Thirumangai Azhwar in Peria Thirumozhi on Thirunaraiur temple says as "Thannale than uruvam payantha" .He has His own sankalpam to have an incarnation. All the three worlds with shining features is under His command. He only created the forms of Brahma, Vishnu and Siva. He only is the incarnation of Sri Krishna. All willingly surrender Him .In another pasuram on Thirunaraiyur says as Pul vai pilantha punitha . Sriman Narayana came in the form of crane and killed Bakasura by cutting mouth. This was done in agitating mood just to satisfy the devotees. Nammazhwar says the Supreme Sriman Narayana takes birth in the world in all categories of living beings for protecting them from their age long sufferings and giving succor to them. He says in one pasuram in Thiruvaimozhi as "Pullin vai pilanthai maruthu idai poyinai. He narrates the killing of bakasura, killing of seven buffalos in agitation. Andal also in Thirupavai says as "Pullin vai keendanai ,polla arakkanai killik kalainthanai 'indicating agitating incarnations of killing Bakasura, and on removal of ten heads of Ravana

In 375th nama Devah is meant as one who is conqueror, shining and praiseworthy. Sriman Narayana sports through His plays of the great Creation-Sustenance-Destruction and succeeds, excel and getting encomiums for the same. He functions in all Beings and shines as the Universal Consciousness;, and getting mangalasasanam from all devotees . In Upanishad it is stated as “There is only one Deva.He who diverts himself. He binds the jeevas with the strings of maya prakrti and plays with them even as the hunters do with the tigers and boars in the forest.". The special features He possesses for being called as Deva are for His desires to be victorious over all the asuras. He is dwelling in all beings, and shining as innermost self of all beings. He is praised even by all praiseworthy ones and pervades all beings. He plays and make the souls also play .In Nanmugan Thiruvanthathi,Thirumazhisai Azhwar starts his pasuram as 'Nanmuganai naarayanan padaithan ' . This he meant as Brahma is created by Sriman Narayana only. In one pasuram neeye ulagu ellam Nin arule , Azhwar says as the entire universe is under the command of Sriman Narayana only. All beings in energetic form is also because of His Grace. He only is the head of Brahma and others with HIs penance power. Similarly in another pasuram 'Vaan ulavu thee vali maa kadal ' Azhwar says as Sky, fire, air, ocean, big hills, sun, moon, wind, directions, ocean, and all beings are all existing only with the sankalpam of Sriman Narayana.

Thirupavai.

Sow. Bhargavi( Swetha ) & Smt. VijayalakshmiSundaram.

Thirupavai is called as Sanga Tamil because it has all three modes of enetertainment iyal(prose

literature), isai(poetry/music) and natakam(drama). The fourth pasuram is in the form of a drama

(natakam). aazhi mazhai(k) kaNNaa onRu nee kai karavEl

In the first three pasurams Andal Nachiar addressed her friends but here she addresses aazhi

mazhai(k) kaNNaa which means aazhi mazhaiku annan and refers to deity in charge of rain

showers. Why does she address this deity all of a sudden now? The deity stood in front of Andal

Nachiar as he heard her sing in the previous pasuram that the surrounding area will be blessed

by good rain showers by singing the praise of the Lord. The deity in charge of rain wanted to

perform kaimkaryams to Andal and her friends.

This pasuram shows us about the way in which the celestials seek to serve true Bagawathas.

Purusha Suktam says that the devas will appear before those people who have sought refuge

under the protection of Lord Narayana to find out if they could be of any help. The old 108 divya

desam temples do not have a sanctum for navagraha devathas. Vishnu temples in general do

50

not have sannidhi for navagraha devathas the only exception is the temple of Koodalazhagar in

Madurai. The reason why Vishnu temples don’t have a sannidhi for navagraha devathas is

because Vishnu is the Supreme Being. The navagraha devathas work under His control. Since

we worship the controller of the navagraha devathas there is no reason to worship the

controlled navagraha devathas. Vedam has said that those people who have faith in Lord

Vishnu as the Supreme Being as their sole protector will be saluted by other deities.

Swami Desikan states that the planets, namely; the Budhan, Sukran, Sani, Guru Rahu, Ketu,

Mangal, Soorya and Chandra in the celestial sphere cling to the Padukai of Perumal. Hence the

planets do not harm those people who seek refuge under the divine feet of Perumal and

worship His padukai thus making it unnecessary to have a sannidhi for navagraha devathas.

aazhi uL pukku mugandhu kodu aarthu Eri

The deity in charge of rain asked Andal Nachiar how and where he should shower rain.

Andal Nachiar asked him to shower rain everywhere even in the area inhabited by sinners

showing us her maternal affection for all jeevatmas. She asked him to drink water completely

51

from the middle of the ocean (azhi) leaving only the sand. She insists that he should drink water

from the middle of the ocean as it will be free from pollution.

She said, ‘On your way back to the shore you should announce your approach by rumbling. To

show us that you have consumed enough water, your body should look as dark as the body of

Lord Narayana.’

Andal didn’t say you should look dark like Narayana but said that his body should look dark like

the body of Narayana. The reason Andal said that his body should be like the body of Narayana

and not that he should look like Narayana is because he can only try to dress like Narayana. He

will not be able to be as compassionate as Lord Narayana.

Once a year Namperumal at Sri Rangam dresses up as Thayar; his costume is known as

Mohini Alankaram. Sri Parasara Bhattar was known always to favour Ranganayaki Thayar.

Once when Perumal dressed up as Mohini, He sent for Bhattar. After Bhattar arrived, Perumal

expected Bhattar to state that Perumal looked exactly like Thayar but Bhattar replied that even

though Perumal dressed up like Thayar He lacked the compassionate glance of Thayar in both

His eyes since one eye of Perumal is the Sun used to scorch enemies and only the other eye is

the moon cool full of compassion turned towards His devotees. Bhattar stated that both the eyes

of Thayar were cool like the moon and she showered compassion even on Her enemies.

Similar to Perumal being unable to look just like Thayar, the deity in charge of rain will never be

able to look like Perumal.

Picture 1: Namperumal Mohini Alankaram.

52

Picture 2: Ranganayaki Thayar

aazhi pOl minni valamburi pOl ninRu adhirndhu

She insists that the deity of rain should produce brilliant lightening that look like the Sudarsana

Chakra in the hands of Perumal with beautiful broad shoulders. Perumal has broad shoulders to

show that He protects everyone at all times from every kind of danger produced by everybody

else. She asked the deity of rain to produce thunder to sound similar to Panchajanyam.

Panchajanyam causes happiness in the heart of Bagawathas but fear in the minds of their

enemies.

thaazhaadhE saarnga mudhaiththa sara mazhai pOl

vaazha ulaginil peydhidaay naangaLum

maargazhi neeraada magizhndhElOr

She asked the deity to shower rain in the same way in which the arrows shot by Lord Rama fall

on His enemies in a shower but Andal asked the deity of rain to make rain showers to cause

benefit to everyone. She asked him to provide shower after they finish their morning bath and

that the showers should not hinder any Bagawathas. Everyone should feel happy to receive the

rain showers.Alternate Meaning:

aazhi mazhai(k) kaNNaa onRu nee kai karavEl

Arjuna requested Perumal to give him upadesam by saying the following slokam. (Ref:

http://www.bhagavad-gita.org/Gita/verse-02-07.html)

53

This Slokam is chanted by Sri Vaishnavas while requesting an Acharyan to accept him/her as a

disciple and perform samasrayanam. The slokam has to be adjusted for the word “sishyaha” as

it is in masculine gender by women. This fourth pasuram was composed by Andal Nachiar for

us to use in place of the difficult Sanskrit slokam to request an Acharyan to accept us as his

disciple. The pasuram also speak about the characteristics of a good Acharyan.

An Acharyan’s eyes should be wet because of his happiness in serving Perumal as well as

sorrow in seeing that we do not strive to attain Perumal’s divine feet. The Acharyan should

provide good instructions even if the disciple doesn’t have the mentality to accept good

instruction. The Acharyan should correct the errors made by the disciple.

aazhi uL pukku mugandhu kodu aarthu Eri

Swami Ramanujar said that, ‘Swami Alavandar is an ocean of nectar. I dip in this ocean and

obtain the best gems to give to my disciples.’

This means that the Acharyan should research and analyze the granthams written by

poorvacharyas, understand the concepts and state with great conviction the instructions to his

disciples.oozhi mudhalvan uruvam pOl mey kaRuththu(p)

While listening to the lectures of our Acharyan we get the feeling that we are in the presence of

Perumal Himself. Perumal appeared like dark rain bearing clouds when He created this

Universe.

paazhii am thOLudai(p) paRpanaaban kaiyil

Of the twelve names Perumal chanted daily while wearing thiruman, the eleventh name is

Padmanaban & the twelfth is Damodaran. Padmanaban denotes superiority as Perumal is with

Brahma on the lotus that appeared from His navel. Brahma in turn created Shiva thus as

Padmanaba, Perumal shows us that He is the chief of both Brahma as well as Shiva.

54

Lord Krishna incarnated as the son of Devaki & Vasudeva. He appeared as a child but along

with His consort. Devaki and Vasudeva obtained Goddess Sridevi as their daughter-in-law on

the same night! Parents await the birth of their grandchild after their son has been married.

Devaki and Vasudeva did not have to wait for a long time as on the Lord’s lotus like navel they

found His son Brahma sitting on a lotus bloom chanting the Vedas! To describe the child

Brahma on the Lord’s navel, Sukacharyar used the word balakam in the slokam “Tam adbhutam

Balakam” in Srimad Bagawatam. The word “Ka” is used to denote Brahma. Sukacharyar could

have used “Balan” to depict the divine child but he specifically used the word “Balakam” to draw

our attention to Lord Brahma present in the navel of the Divine Child. Both the words “bala” as

well as “balakam” mean child. The word “balakam” is used in the sloka to let us know about the

divine child who appeared with “ka”!Hi name Damodaran reveals His simplicity and ease of

accessibility, saulabhyam.

As a child, Krishna was bound to a mortar by Yashoda. Yashoda did not tie Krishna but Krishna

allowed himself to be tied to the mortar by his mother. If he had wished to remain untied, she

could have never accomplished this feat. His glory increased because he let himself be tied by

Yashoda; his coming down to our world is similar to heads of states interacting with common

people to gain popularity, the only difference is that Paramatma is not looking to gain popularity.

He has only our interest in his heart and works to help us. After Krishna brought down the two

Yamalarjuna trees with the mortar He was tied to, Yashoda inspected Krishna to make sure He

wasn’t hurt by the falling trees. ‘How did you manage to drag the mortar? She questioned Him.

55

She looked at His waist and was shocked. She hadn’t tied the rope tightly but somehow the

rope had scarred Krishna’s waist. His smooth waist now displayed the rope marks. Krishna

sported the rope marks with pride to show us the ease with which we can approach Him and

even bind Him if only we felt an ounce of love Yashoda had for Him.

can break the bonds of our KarmAs and as being always with the lady of

Supreme auspiciousness, Sri Devi. We hear that You known for such power and

majesty and yet were tied to a hustling mortar with fine rope and you could

not loosen Yourself from that knot. What a surprise!

Perumal in debates.

An Acharyan must bless his disciple with many kalakshepams/upanyasams and shower his

disciple with divine knowledge similar to the way in which Lord Rama showered His enemies

with a rain of arrows.

vaazha ulaginil peydhidaay naangaLum

The instructions provided by the Acharyan must be possible for the disciples to follow in this

world.

maargazhi neeraada magizhndhElOr

The disciples should lead a happy life feeling grateful to their sadacharyan for showing them the

right path. The sadacharyan should feel happy that he was able to save the chetanams and

show them the right path that leads out of samsara.

This pasuram must be chanted by disciples while requesting an Acharyan to guide them by

providing them with spiritual instructions.Based on, Thiruppavai - A discourse in Tamil by Sri

U.Ve. Karunakaran Swamy ( Any errors or inconsistencies in the following series are due to the

mistakes we made while taking notes. )

Copies of the CDs can be obtained from Sri Karunakaran Swami’s website http://www.nadadoor.org/ .

This series is for the benefit of people who do not understand Tamil. Those of you who understand Tamil

very well must definitely obtain a copy of Swami’s Upanyasam. You can do so by contacting

Nadadoor.org. Swami also renders discourses in English but we are not sure if Thiruppavai discourse is

available in English. The experience of listening to Swami’s upanyasams could never be obtained by

reading the following series. We have done our best to take notes with due diligence. I apologize for any

errors that I have made while writing this series.

Paasuram 4 - next week.

SRI NARASIMHA DARSHANAM – 186.

BY.Sri.JEGANNAATHAN.K.S. PENUGANCHIPROLU

SrI lakshmInrsimha prapatti (Composed by HH 24th paTTam SrImat Azhagiya singar) Sloka 6 yadIkshitum devagaNa atirushTam Satrau na Saknoti caturmukhAdi: | prasAdito bhaktajanena yastam lakshmInrsimham SaraNam prapadye || Meaning: aDiyEn performs prapatti to You, SrI LakshmInrsimha. Your furious form (jvAlA narasimha form) could not be seen without raising terror in the minds of Your enemies like HiraNyakaSipu and others. It is Thou who blessed the assembly of devAs headed by Brahma devan and other devotees to see You with comfort as SAnta Narasimhan. Comments: Lord Narasimhan is sarva Satrujit (conqueror of all enemies of His). He is the destroyer of the MahAsuran, HiraNyakaSipu (hiraNyaka-nishUdana:). He is of mighty valour (mahA Sauri). He is ugrasimhan. His furious form is saluted as “jvAlAmukho jvAlAmAli mahAjvAlo mahA prabhu:” and as “caNDakopi surArighnas-sadArtighna:”. He is thus a terror to His enemies. When it comes to His bhaktAs, He is SaraNAgata Vatsalan, bhava hrt, loka guru, paramjyoti and ParamAnandan. Courtesy: http://www.srihayagrivan.org/ebooks/102_slp.pdf PenuGanchiProlu Sri DharmaPuri NaraSimha Swamy Temple. Dharmapuri is a famous Nrusimha Kshethra in KarimNagar district of Andhra Pradesh on the banks of river Godaavari. With the same name, there is one more NaraSimaha temple in PenuGanchiProlu Village of Krishna district in Andhra Pradesh State. There was an incident why this NaraSimha got this name. Long back, some devotees from DharmaPuri went to a village called Durgi in Palnadu (Macherla are in Guntur District) area which was famous for sculptors to have an Idol of NaraSimha for Pratistha at DharmaPuri. They have ordered and collected Sri YogaAnanda NaraSimha Vigraha and then taking it to their village DharmaPuri on bullock carts. On the way, when they stopped at PenuGanchiProlu for a night stay. The next day

66

morning, when they started to continue their journey, the bullock cart in which the Moorthy was placed could not move at all. All their efforts to move the bullock cart went in vain and became futile. In the meantime, an elderly man of PenuGanchiProlu village came to that place and informed that he had a dream that night in which Lord Shri NaraSimha Swamy appeared and told him that He was there on a cart and want to stay in that place only, so he came in search of Him. The villager convinced the people of DharmaPuri village and succeeded to manage and made them agreed to leave the Idol of Lord YogaAnanda Narasimha in PenuGanchiProlu village. DharmaPuri devotees left the Idol in PenuGranchiProlu as per the order of God through the PenuGanchiProlu villager. After, knowing this incident all the villagers of PenuGanchiProlu were overjoyed and they installed Sri YogaAnanda NaraSimha Swamy Moorthy there where the bullock cart stuck on its way. Later, they have built a beautiful temple for Him in the PenuGanchiProlu village. The construction style of the temple says that the temple can be dated back to the 13th Century AD and maybe it was built during the Kakathiya reign. An uniqueness in the construction of this temple is, it was built with special stones which works as air-conditioner. These stones keep the inner side of the temple as cool in summer and warm in winter. But, unfortunately, during the recent renovation process of the temple a few years back, those stones were replaced and hence the particular specialty of this temple is lost. But, anybody want to see such kind of temple, may visit Sri BhaavanNarayana temple at Baapatla in Guntur District of Andhra Pradesh. This village earlier name was Penu Kanchi Prolu. As in Kanchi (Tamil Nadu State), this village also had many temples so it got this name. It means Big Kanchi. It is said that in the earlier days, there are 108 Anjaneya Temples in this village. A famous Sathi by name Thirupathamma who was born with the boon of Lord Venkateshwara Swamy belongs to this village. She is very famous in Krishna District and well known to in other parts of Andhra Pradesh. This village was got fame with her pious story. The PenuGanchiProlu village fame is based on this temple. Thousands of devotees visit every day Sri Thirupathamma Thalli temple. They offer Pongal to her. On Sunday, the crowd is so big. This famous temple is just a furlong away from the Sri NaraSimha Swamy Temple. There is bus facility directly from Vijayawaada town to PenuGanchiProlu. While coming from Hyderabad, one has to take left diversion at Chillakallu Centre (Jaggayyapet junction). Autos and buses also ply from NandiGaama, JaggayyaPeta and Chillakallu Centres. PenuGanchiProlu is 80 K.M. from Vijayawaada twon and 20 K.M. from NandiGaama and JaggayyaPeta towns. The famous Vedadhri NaraSimha Kshethram is around 12 K.Ms. away from Chillakallu and Nandigama.

RIVAISHNAVISM

Ivargal Tiruvaakku.

The serving serpent : Adisesha, the serpent, is the bed and the seat of Lord Narayana and Goddess Mahalakshmi. Alavandar specifically mentions Adisesha as the bed of the Goddess too. There is reason for the emphasis, said Kidambi Narayanan in a lecture.

It may be the man of the house who decides the pay of a servant, but it is the lady of the house, from whom the servant takes instructions on what work to do. So although Adisesha is the Lord’s servitor, he is also the Goddess’ servant.

Adisesha has a thousand heads; this means he also has a thousand bodies. This further means that he can serve the Lord thousand fold. Adisesha is with the Lord always serving Him in every avatara of His, and in every way possible. He is an umbrella to the Lord, a seat, a soft bed.

In the Rama avatara, Adisesha came as Lakshmana, who did not sleep a wink, but kept watch over his brother, for the 14 years of His sojourn in the forest.

In the Krishna avatara, Adisesha came as Balarama, Krishna’s elder brother. Lakshmana tells Rama that if he were to be separated from the Lord, he (Lakshmana) will die, just as surely as Sita would. Lakshmana says that he and Sita, if separated from Rama, would die the very moment they are separated. Fish thrown out of water may take a few seconds to die, but Lakshmana and Sita separated from Rama would not last even a second. He is determined to serve his brother in all countries, and to be by His side always.

When the Rama avatara is about to end, Rama tells Lakshmana that His earthly sojourn is coming to a close. Lakshmana, knowing that he will be unable to bear the pangs of separation, enters the Sarayu river, and ends his stay on this Earth, before Rama leaves this world. To Lakshmna, Rama takes precedence over everyone else. Rama, to the devoted Lakshmana, is mother, father and God all rolled into one.

When Dasaratha banishes Rama to the forest, Lakshmana reacts in anger. It is rarely that anyone thinks of the Lord’s welfare above all else. We petition Him for favours all the time, but to think of His comfort is the noble trait of Adisesha.
