Srimadh Azhagiya Singar thiruvadikaLE saraNam
(In this part we attempt to write in a very simply way as to who
is Sri Chakra rAjan, prior to writing on the thala purAnam of Sri
Chakra rAjan temple)
ezhil Azhi iRaiyavan - part 2 - The "will" of the Lord
(meaning for the title is given in part 1)
Dear bAgawathAs,
Vishu Samvathsaram, TulA Maasam Sukla Panchami 41st Pattam
(Kaarukkurichci) Srimath Azhagiya Singar fo Sri Ahobila mutt,
AarAdhana Dinam. Incidentally the Sri Chakra pAni temple at thiruk
kudanthai was last renovated and the maha samprOkshanam was done
under the divine command of this AchAryAn several years ago. After
that, this is the first time such a major effort to renovate the
temple is going on.
Sri Chakra rAjan is third in line in our pArampariyam next only to
perumAL and thAyAr. Many Sudarshana upAsakars describe that sEnai
nAthar or viswakshEnA is the incarnation of none other than Sri
Chakra rAjan HIMself.
SwAmi dEsikan delivered as
"En vuyir thanthu ALitthavarai saraNam pukki
".........................................."sEnai nAthan"
in amuthath thiru magaL enRu ivarai munnittu
emperumAL thiru vadigaL adaikinREnE" - SwAmi dEsikan
meaning: Among the several AchAryAs listed in this grantham that
everyone recite at the time of prapatthi, the 3rd in line listed
prior to Sriyap pathi Sriman nArAyaNan is sEnai nAthan. It may
very well sound controversial for some bAgawathAs when we attempt
to interpret this way. However adiyEn have heard from sudarshana
upAsakars this way. In tamil sEnai or padai is also the name for
Ayudham. When Sri chakra rAjan is sent on a mission HE is the
delta force and one and only person and is the Army HIMself. He
is the abode of all the weapons that were created ever in this
universe. All weapons are subservient to Sri chakra rAjan. He is
the rAjan of all the weapons. All the weapons that are possessed
by the sillaRAi dEvathAs are created by Sri Chakra rAjan. All the
weapons finally attain him as their mOksham. If one have to
summersize as to who is Sri Chakra rAjan and add to the three
thaathuvams explained by Sri V. Sadagopan, as seen by certain
subtle verses explained in Sri Ahir budhya samihithA.
Sri chakra rAjan is none other the "will" of the Lord Sriman
nArAyaNA. If the Lord has decided to get done with someone such
"will" who is already inthe form of Sri chakra rAjan manifests
into a vasthu that is "instrumental" in fulfilling this "will".
and accomplish the mission. Since HE is the will of the Lord he
is never defeated. No force on earth can defeat Sri chakra rAjan
as HE is the will of the Lord. In tamil it is said that "avar
thiru uLLam nadanthE theerum". Everytime the Lord wants to
accomplish a missoin, Sri chakra rAjan as HIS "will" takes the
manifestation "atonce" and fulfills it. Name it, the "kOrai
paRkaL" of Sri koormA, nails of Sri Lakshmi nrusihmA, the dharbai
of Sri vAmanA, the power of kOdAli of Sri parasurAmA and so on.
No one other than Sri chakra rAjan fulfills Lord's thiru uLLAm
as HE is HIMself the thiru uLLam of the Lord. When Sri kAkAsuran
committed apachAram to peria pirAtti, the Lord's "will" decided
to punish him and the small "darbhai" that chased the kAkAsuran
into all the lOkAs had the Sri chakra rAjan at its tip.
Sri Indran advised kAkAsuran that the Ayudham is none other than
"will" of the Lord and no one can stop this from punishing one.
The only way for you is to seek refuge at the holy feet of the
Lord and change his "will". When the "will" is written this way
your fate will end this way. Then kAkAsuran did as advised by
Sri Indran and got the "will" changed or else he would have been
slain. Thus,this Sri chakra rAjan of thiruk kudanthai who is the
"will" of the Lord and the one man Army who accomplishes the
mission of the Lord every time is victorious for ever. He was
never defeated and will never be because of another reason. One
of the great thiruk kalyAna gunAs of the Lord is that HE is never
defeated. Such thiruk kalyAna gunA has manifested as the thAyAr
of Sri chakra rAjan known as Sri vijaya valli thAyAr. Since his
consort is Sri vijaya vallith thAyAr (Lady Victorious) he was
never defeated and he will never be defeated.
In Sri Abeethi sthavam slokam 23 (*), SwAmi dEsikan pleads to
Sri RanganAthan that "prabhO, this place is full of virOdhis and
their Adikkam is to be wiped out. Sri chakra rAjAn is one who is
the "soul" or Athman for Agni, Sooryan and chandran the three
sources through which the universe is lighted up. Through them it
is Sri chakra rAjan who provide light and destroy this darkenss
and annyAnam in this universe. His pradhAna Ayutham is Sri
chakram itself. He has 15 other dominant weapons in order. All
these weapons are contained in his swaroopam all the time. He
works in unison with all the weapons in him work together when he
is on a mission under his command as is the sEnai muthali of all
these weapons that are embedded in this one man army. When comes
out he conducts as similar to how the dEvathAs do in all humility
and as if he is a very ordinary bAgawathA. Yet everything is
embedded in him. He is the most potent of all of the weapons and
and everyother one can think of. Your city of Sri rangam has to
come back to normalcy and all the uthsavams of Sri rangam has to
be celebrated without any stop. Your kainkaryam has to go on
uninterruptted. nitya ArAdhanam has to continue for you for ever.
The current crisis created by these virOdhis must come to an end
soon. The prayOga chakram seated in your hand should
auotmatically set out and spin around and establish the dharmam
in this boolOga vaikundam Srirangam. The dharma chakram must
revlove around once again in your kshEthram Srirangam and protect
your uninterruptted kainkaryam.
Swami dEsikan goes on to say in the 24th slOkam of Sri abeethi
sthavam(**) "You are superior and you are the sarva Otthaman. You
You are the one who was worshipped from Sri Manu onwards in the
most aupicious way with all the kramams and niyathi, SrirangarajA
You are always induced by Sri ranganAyaki thAyAr and encouraged
by Sri Boomi dEvip pirAtti in your karunyA sAgaram. Your mercy
and aruL is similar to an ocean and it is always churned and kept
active by pirAtti. The current terror and crisis that struck your
city is created by those who are equal to asurAs. Your kArunyAm
as induced by thAyArs must overflow and you must think in
yourself and act to save this city. ie. . Your "will" must take
shape in favour of destroying these evel forces and help us
serve you uninterruptedly. You must have your thiru uLLam to save
this city from the current crisis.
First Swami dEsikan directly pleads to Sri chakra rAjan seated
in the hand of Sri namperumAL. None other than Swami deikan had
mastered the ahir budhanya samihitha so well. Realizing that Sri
chakra rAjan is none other than the "will" of the Lord Swami
dEsikan quickly prays in the next verse, for the "will" of the
Lord to take place.
