Day 05 Sri Nampillai Sattrumurai Varushothsavam | Triplicane/Thiruvallikeni Parthasarathy Divya Desam

Adiyen... If anyone found any error please inform me so I will correct them.. 

     Being True to his Achariyan and Being true to his disciples, will make a perfect Achariyan… 

• Sri Nampillai as Varadharjara was the disciple of Sri Najeeyar, Who had written a vyakhyanam called “9000ppadi” for Nammazhwar Thiruvaymozhi

• Sri Nampillai who had many great disciples, one among them was Vadakku Thiruveethi Pillai who wrote “36000ppadi” Vyakhyanam based on Nampillai’s discourses.

    By Saying these two examples, we can never limit the achievements of Sri Nampillai.

   Some of the beautiful notes that Adiyen wants to present from an Achariyan Sri U Ve Elayavalli Bhuvarahachariar Swami.

Nampillai asked his teacher:

"How can a man understand that he has the qualities of a Srivaishnava?" (It means what are the special identifying characteristics of a Srivaishnava).

Sri Nanjeeyar's Answer:

(a) If a man comes to know that the Lord Sriman Narayana in his Archavatara (in his idol form in temples and other places) does possess all His supreme powers as in Srivaikunta Loka, he can consider himself to be a Srivaishnava.

(That means it is very difficult for an ordinary person to have great faith in Archavatara. The moment he thinks that Archavatara has both paratva and soulabhya, he becomes a Srivaishnava. Archavatara Pravanya as Thirumangai Alwar possessed is a very important criterion for a Srivaishnava, which is very difficult to get).

(b) A man in general loves his son and wife very dearly. If he possesses that much love and affection towards a Srivaishnava, he can consider himself as included in the list of Srivaishnavas. (The man is expected to shower more love on a Srivaishnava than he does toward his family members. Here it is amusing to see that some concession is allowed by Sri Nanjeeyar.)

(c) When abused by a Srivaishnava, if a man does not become angry, but on the contrary receives his wrathful words with a cheerful countenance and as an enjoyable pleasure he is a Srivaishnava.

Therefore a man should possess these three important qualities as explained before. They are:

1. Archaavatara Paratva Buddhi

2. Bhaagavatha Prema

3. Bhagavatha Katinokthi Bhogyatha Buddhi

If any one after close examination of him finds that he is in possession of these three virtues, he can conclude within himself that he is a Srivaishnava.

The above made my day.... My love to our Lord Parthasarathy is boundless... 

Adiyen Dasan...
