Just this much.

 "This life will pass fast,

do not fight with people,

don't be so judgmental about your body.

Don't complain so much.

Don't lose sleep over bills. Make sure you kiss your loves.

Don't worry so much about leaving the house spotless. Property and heritage must be conquered by everyone, do not engage in inheritance. Keep the dogs closer. Don't keep watching the bowls. Use new lids.

Don't save on your favorite perfume, wear it to hang out with yourself. Wear your favorite sneakers, repeat your favorite clothes, and then what? If not bad, why not now? Why not run ? Why not pray now instead of waiting to pray before you sleep?. Why not call now? Why not forgive now? You're looking forward to Christmas, Friday, next year, when you have money, when love comes, when everything's perfect, look, everything's perfect. Humans can't reach that because they simply weren't made to be completed here. Here is a learning opportunity.

So enjoy this essay of life and do it now, love more, forgive more, embrace more, live more intensely and leave the rest in God's hand, of destiny, of life itself. "

Simple and true.

This was the very first PAsuram after Thirumangai Mannan was blessed by the lord to become Thirumangai AzhvAr. Having waylaid a wedding party in search of wealth to support his charity cause in VedarAjapuram near ThiruvAli-Thirunagari, Thirumangai had darshan of the Lord and Goddess in a KalyANa KOlam (wedding attire). When the lord reveals to him the robber king realized his birth and the accompanying desires and miseries of human life. He then realizes that the lord’s name NARAYANA is the ultimate solution to all problems. He sings 10 pAsurams right away. The first one is discussed here.

To be continued.

 SriUVKS MIND AND MATTER

The atma has knowledge of worldly affairs. Lordand the Lord of the Gods. Like we record and preserve several songs happenings etc on c d drives etc so also knowledge pertaining to several things is recorded in the atma. When one wants this recorded matter can be recalled at will playing on the mind screen. Poigai alzwar uses the word mayavanaiye manattuvai. To be able to keep the Lord permanently imprinted in our mind he has bestowed on us the mind to use as  an location and  instrument. To make correct use of this is up to us . 

Wise indeed.

 Famous quotes of Adi Shankaracharya:“Silence is the first door to spiritual eminence.”

“To be free from bondage, the wise person must practise discrimination between One-Self and ego-self. By that alone, you will become full of joy, recognizing yourself as a pure being, consciousness, and bliss.”

“Like the appearance of silver in the mother of Pearl, the world seems real until the Self, the underlying reality, is realised.”

The annihilation of ignorance is salvation.

The charity at right time is precious.

Truth is that which helps the living beings.

One’s own pure mind is the greatest pilgrimage.

That is knowledge that helps in getting united to the Brahman

kailasa for all.

 

Adi Sankara, who propagated bhakti movement and showed us six types of prayers, lived only 32 years. Tamil saint Tirugnanasambandar lived half that many years; yet he is celebrated as first among equals: if you go to any Saivite temple, you will find him occupying prime position, followed by other saints such as Sundarar and Manickavasagar. In fact, Tirugnanasambandar is considered to be an avatar of Murugan, as per Arunagiri Nadhar, Vallalar and other savants, said P. Swaminathan in a discourse.

Siva temples resonate during his guru puja day. Born in Seergazhi as the son of Sivapadha Irudhayar, he attained moksha in Tirunaloorthirumanam, known as Achalpuram today. As a toddler he was blessed to have sucked gnana from Goddess Umayal, after which he started rendering poems. At three years of age, he received all graces and rendered Ammai, Appan, songs. The pasuram Thodudaya Seliyan sprang out of him spontaneously after the darshan of Siva and Umayal at Seergazhi temple. After God’s grace, Sambandar embarked on yatras to spread Sanatana Dharma. As he was still a child, and could not walk long distances, his father and other Sivan adiyars used to carry him on their shoulders as he spread bhakti among people everywhere.

When he turned 16, his parents persuaded him to get married. When Sambandar expressed reluctance, as marriage might hinder his service to Siva, his father reminded him that as per Vedas, one has to be married for the efficacy of spiritual pursuits. Sambandar agreed and his marriage was fixed with Sosthra Poornambigai of Thirunaloorthirumanam. On arrival at the venue, Sambandar prays to the presiding deity Sivaloka Tyagesan. As his wedding is conducted by the Tiruneelakanda Nayanar, the groom’s mind is in turmoil. As he circumabulated the agni with his bride, he beseeched Siva saying, “How will I serve you if trapped in family life? I only want to serve you forever.” Understanding his turmoil, Siva asked him if he was ready to enter Kailasa, His abode, along with his family. Not only Sambandar’s wife but both their parents and all the attendees sought Kailasa along with the newlyweds willingly. In order to achieve moksha in that manner, one has to be a true devotee, wanting nothing other than serving Him at all times and reaching His abode.

 Swami Mudaliyandan was a Hindu Vaishnava religious figure who lived in the 11th century CE. He was a nephew of Sri Ramanuja, the codifier of the philosophy of Srivaishnavism.

Swami Mudaliyaandaan was born in 1027 CE at Pachhai Vaarana Perumal Sannidhi (referred to as "Nazarethpettai" today) in Thondai mandalam, in the state of Tamil Nadu in South India. His parents were Vaadhoola Kula Thilaka Sri Anantha Narayana Dikshithar and Naachiyaramman (Sri Ramanuja 's sister). Daasarathi, as he was named, was Ramanuja's Priya Bhagineya in the parlance of the age. Born to his service, and known as "Yathiraaja Paaduka", he enjoyed a special relationship with Emberummanaar (Ramanuja) all his life.

Having begun his learning with his father, Daasarathi would go on to become, with Koorathazhwan, a pillar of support to Emberumaanar, acclaimed by him as being identical to his thridandam - his staff of office as a sanyasi. However, Emberumaanar kept him busy in many ways, as he was a capable executive and administrator. He was later to be known as "Sriranganaatha Divyaalaya Nirvahana Dhurandhara" - the genius who organized, under Emberumanaars tutelage, the administration of the Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple.

As he ruled the temple staff like Senai Muthaliyaar (Sri Vishvaksena), he was given the name Muthali-Aandaan. He is mentioned in the Koyil Ozhugu, the chronicle of Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, in glowing terms: "muthaliyaandaanum kurattilirunthu koyil kariyaththaiyum uLLe karuvulaka vaasalileyirunthu thirumeni upachaaraththayum, sannathiyile irunthu thiruppavaLa upchaarangaLayum udayavar niyamanappadi aaraaynthu kondu anaiththazhagum kaNdarula paNNIk-kondirunthaar". (Roughly translated as: And Muthaliyandan administered the following, according to Ramanuja's orders, the many works of the temple, the services to the Lord, and the works of the Shrine.)

Sri Muthaliyaandaan is most well known for his lapidary saying, here given in transliterated maNipraavaaLam: "oru malaiyil ninru, oru malaiyil thaavum simha shareeraththil janthukkaL pole bhaashyakaarar samsaaralanganam paNNa avarOdundaana kudalthudakkaale naam udhdheerdaraavuthomenru muthaliyaandaruLi-ch-cheytha paasuram". This is roughly translatable as follows: When a lion leaps from a mountain to another, all the creatures that live on his body go with him. Even so, when Udayavar transcended this world, all of us who

are associated with him benefit from this as well.

His descendants are now among the Acharyas of the Sri Vaishnavism tradition, and carry the title of Mudaliyandan Swami. Prominent one being his son, Srimad Vadoola Kovil Kandhadai Annan Swami, whose descendants are one of the ashtadiggajas of the Sri Vaishnava sampradaya following the Thenkalaiacharya branch.
