விஷயப் பற்று:
ஒருவர் மோக்ஷமடைய வேணுமெனில் உலகப்பற்றை அவசியம் விட வேணும். ஸ்ரீ நம்மாழ்வார் திருவாய்மொழியில் அருளிச் செய்கிறார் இப்படி: “வீடுமின் முற்றவும்* வீடு செய்து* உம்முயிர் வீடுடையானிடம் வீடு செய்மினே”. அதாவது விஷயப் பற்றை முற்றிலும் விட்டு, ஆத்மாவை தனக்கு இருப்பிடமாக கொண்டுள்ள எம்பெருமானிடம் உங்களுடைய ஆத்மாவை சமர்ப்பியுங்கள் என்று அருளிச்செய்கிறார்.
நம் நிலை???????????????
ஆனால் நாமோ எதில் ஆசை கூடாதோ, அதில் நிறைய பற்றுதலுடன் உள்ளோம். நமக்கோ ஆத்ம ஸ்ரேயசை கொடுக்க வல்ல பகவத் விஷயத்தில் பற்றின்மை நிறைய இருக்கிறது. இப்படி வாழ் நாள் எல்லாம் வீணாயிற்றே என்ற வருத்தமும் இல்லாமல் உண்டு உடுத்து வாழ் நாளைக் கழிக்கிறோம். இப்படி சுகமாக உண்டு வாழும் ஒருவர்க்கு பகவத் விஷயங்கள் எளிதில் மனதில் படுவதில்லை. இதனாலேயே எம்பெருமான் நம் வாழ்க்கையின் ஒரு சமயத்தில் துன்பத்தையும் கலந்தே வைத்திருக்கிறான்.
கீதாசார்யனான ஸ்ரீ கண்ணன் எம்பெருமான் குந்தி தேவியின் பிரார்த்தனை: ” கண்ணா எங்களுக்கு துன்பம் அடிக்கடி இருக்க வேணும் – அப்போதுதான் நாங்கள் உன்னை நினைக்க முடியும்”
விஷயப் பற்றிப் போல நம் ஆத்மாவை கெடுப்பது வேறு ஒன்றும் இல்லை.

Brief history of Vishathavaakshikaamanigal:
Swami Thiruvaaimozhi Pillai attained paramapatham after instructing his disciples to accept that Swami Azhagiya Manavaala Naayanaar who would be the next acharyan in the Oran Vazhi Acharya Paramparai. With his acharyan’s grace, swami took sanyaasam from Sri Sadagopa Jeeyar Swami. Swami was the last acharyan in the Oran Vazhi kramam. Similarly swami had a deep knowledge in vedanthas. Our life is insufficient to speak or write about Swami and his works, who had contributed immensely to our sampradayam. Swami was honoured by Lord Ranganatha himself.
Swami’s vaibhavam in brief.
Swami spent his life in Thiruvarangam and was performing kalakshebams on Aazhwar Arulicheyals, commonly called Naalaayiradivya Prabhandham. Swami devoted his life in doing kaingaryams to Lord Ranghanathan. On a fine day, the Lord ordered swami to perform kalakshebam on Swami Namaazhwar’s Thiruvaaimozhi (Bagavath Vishsyam), in his presence. It is important here to note that the Lord Ranghanathan had stopped all his regular Utsavams for one year, as it might take more than a year to complete the discourse.
Swami’s kalakshebam was based on all the five commentaries of Thiruvaaimozhi Prabhandham. Kalakshebam continued for a year. The satrumarai day had fallen on Aani Thirumoolam. On that day, Swamy completed his discourse in Thiruvaimozhi vyakyanam. Thriuparivittam and fruits were placed before Lord Ranganatha and His consort. Then, to the surprise of all, a five year old boy appeared before the swami, and recited the Mantram in praise of his Acharyan. Here “AchArya” refers to Swami Manavaalamaamunigal.
Mantram:
Srisailesa Dayaapaatram Deepakyaadhi Gunaarnavam
Yatheendra Pravanam Vande Ramyajaa Maatharam Munim.
After reciting this sloka, that small boy disappeared immediately. Ghosti wondered on seeing the happenings. Immediately Lord Ranghanathan revealed through Archakar that it was He, who came there as a boy to say the mantra and declared that swami was the punar Avathaaram of Swami Ramanujar. Thus swami became the greatest Acharya of our sampradayam. It is, here, important to note that the Lord, who gave the Manthra Rahasyam, had offered this Mantram once again, which shows the significance.
In order to comply Lord Ranganatha’s order, Swamy Appillai, dedicated an ‘Arulapadu’ to Swamy Manavalamamugal as follows:
“Vazhi Thiruvaimozhipillai madhagaval
vazhum manavalamamunivan—vazhiyavan
maran thiruvaimozhipporulai manilathoor
therumpadi uraikkum seer”.
Then, Lord Ranganatha was very much pleased to hear the above verse and ordered that in all Divyadesams, the Thanian “Srisailesa Dayapathram….” Should compulsorily be sung and conclude with the above Pasuram. Lord Ranganatha conferred the title “Muppathariyira Perukkar” to Sriman Manavala Mamunigal.
Aazhwar convey us the message to reach God in his paasuram –“ Kaatinaan Thiruvarangam Uybavarkku Uyyum Vannam”. It is a paasuram dedicated to Thiruvarangan. Previously, Lord had shown us the Acharya Sishya Lakshanam & Mantram in Badarikaasramam, Here the Lord explained us the importance of Acharyas.

Thirunaamam/Name: Thiruvaaimozhippillai.
Thirunakshatra Thingal/Month: Vaikaasi.
Thirunakshatram/Star: Visaakam.
Acharyan: Swami Pillai Lokaacharyar.
Thiruththaayaar/Mother: Saathvikai Ammaiyaar.
Matrumor Thirunaamam?Other name: Sri Thirumalai Aazhwar.
Swami was a scholar in both Tamil and Sanskrit. He surrendered to the lotus feet of his acharyan Swami Pillai Lokaacharyar. Swami Pillai Lokaacharyar having known the administrative abilities of Swami Thirumalai Aazhwar decided to appoint him as the next acharyan in the Oran vazhi guru paramparai. Swami Pillai Lokacharyar instructed his disciples to do certain activities as listed below:
* Swami instructed Sri Koora Kulothama dasar to bring back Sri Thirumalai Aazhwar
to our sampradayam and teach Him the rahasyaarthaas of our sampradayam.
* Swami instructed Sri Kannangudippillai to teach Him (Swami Namaazhwaar’s)
Thiruvaaimozhi paasurams.
* Swami instructed Sri Naaloor pillai to teach Him the meanings of other Aazhwar
Paasurams.
* As instructed by swami Sri Vilancholaipillai taught Him Sri Vachana Bhushanam.
As instructed by his Acharyan, Sri Koorakulothamadaasar tried to bring back Sri Thirumalai azhwar to Sri Vaishnava fold. Since swami being aged and not being a famous person was unable to approach Him (Sri Thirumalai Aazhwaar) as he was a chief minister of pandya king (before coming to our sampradayam). Sri Daasar had sung the Thiruviruttham prabhandham with music in front of Sri Thirumalai Aazhwar. Sri Thirumalai Aazhwaar approached him and asked to teach the same. Swami Dasar replied that it could not be taught in a common place. Second time he met swamy Dasar and misunderstood him to be Swami Pillai Lokaacharyar. Swami Koorakulothama Dasar explained the desire of his acharyan to Sri Thirumalai Aazhwar.
Sri Thirumalai aazhwar accepted the words of Dasar, but he was unable to leave the king alone, as the king was very young at that time. So Sri Dasar went to his place and taught him everything about the sampradayam. On a fine day Sri Thirumalai Aazhwar was very busy and did not meet the Sri KKDasar. Sri KKDasar stopped going there. Sri Thirumalai Aazhwar realized his mistake and went to Sri KKDasar’s house. Sri Dasar accepted his pardon.
Swami Thirumalai Aazhwar learnt all the works of our sampradayam from the disciples of swami Pillailokaacharyar.
As he was teaching Thiruvaaimozhi to everybody throughout his life, Swami got the name ‘Thiruvaaimozhippillai’.
Swami became old and expecting the successor for the leadership of the sampradayam. Swami decided to give the leadership to his young disciple Sri Azhagia Manavala Naayanaar, the son of Thigazhakkidanthaan Thirunaaveerudaiya Piran.
The young person was none but the great vishathavaakshigamanigal swami Manavalamaamunigal.
Swami advised adiyars to learn Sri Bashyam and Naalaayiradivyaprabhandam.

Acharyan: Swami’s Father and Swami Nambillai on some occasions.
Thiruththambiyaar/Brother: Azhagiya Manavaalap perumaal Naayanaar, composed Aachaarya hrudayam.
Brief History:
The word Lokacharyar refers to Swami Nampillai. Since swami was born, after his father swami Vadakku Thiruveedi pillai got the anugruham of his acharyan Lokacharyar, swami was named as Pillai Lokaacharyar. In tamil ‘Lokaacharyar anugruhathaal pirantha pillai enbathaal – Lokacharyar Pillai – Pillai Lokacharyar enraanathu.”
Swami started his learning from his father. Swami because of swami Nambillai’s anugruham had a very good Gnanam in vedantams. Swami Saakshaath Devapperumaal avathaarame. There was a swami named MANARPPAAKATTHU NAMBI. This swami requested Devapperumaal to teach him about the Aaramudham that are essence of the vedantams. Sri Devapperumaal also started giving upadesam, and while they were in half way Sri Devapperumal told that the other half has to be learnt at srirangam in between the two rivers. [vadathirukkaveri and Thenthirukkaveri].
Swami Manarppaakatthu Nambi went there; swami pillai Lokaacharyar was delivering the discourse to his sishyas inside the Kattazhagiyasingar swami temple. Swami Manarppakkathu Nambi was surprised to hear the same discourse and it continued where the Devapperumal had stopped. After the discourse was over, Manarppakkathu Nambi asked Swami Pillai Lokaacharyar – AVARO NEER – swami replied AAM AVARE NAAM.
So it is clear that Sri Devapperumal had taken the birth as Swami Pillai Lokaacharyar.
Swami remained as Brahmachari throughout his life.
Swami Pillai Lokaacharyar continued his kaingaryam at Srirangam. In the early 1300’s, a muslim king captured the rule at Srirangam. In order to protect the idol (moolavar) of srirangam temple, swami raised a brick wall before the sanctum and had it closed. Similarly He carried away the utsavar in his hand and started moving out of srirangam. Swami because of his old age, on reaching jyothishkudi, he could not continue his journey and Swami attained the lotus feet of his acharyan there. Only very recently the Samprokshanam took place and we can have a good darshan of Swamy’s Thiruvarasu.
Works:
Swami had composed 18 rahasya Grhanthams(Secrets), popularly called as Ashtaadhasa Rahasyams in order to save all jeevaathmas from this bavasaagaram.
8 rahasyams to describe rahasyathrayam, 5 rahasyams to describe tathvathrayam and finally 5 granthams to our sampradaayam.
Disciples: Swami Thiruvaaimozhippillai, Manarpaakatthu Nambi, Koorakulothamma Daasar,.
Swami Manavaala maamunigal in his Upadesa rathnamaali prabhandham had given the importance of swami’s rahasya Granthams.

Brief History:
Swami sacrificed his life for our sampradaayam. At the right age, swami got married. But swami maintained celibacy. It had been brought to the notice of swami’s mother. She became very sad, approached swami Nambillai, conveyed her worry and requested swami’s blessings to have a child for her vamsam.
Swami Nambillai called his sishyan Sri Vadakku Thiruveedhi Pillai and advised him to spend a night with his wife as it is the rule of Grahasthaasrama Dharmam. Getting his acharyan’s blessings swami did as advised. In due course, swami’s wife became pregnant and a son was born to them as blessed by swami Lokaacharyar.
Swami Nambillai had a very big ghosti for his kaalakshebams. Once at the time of giving discourses, swami asked Sri Periavaachaanpillai to record it. Swami Vadakku Thiruveedi pillai also recorded it, with out his acharyan’s permission.
One day Swami Vadakku Thiruveedi pillai invited his acharyan for a dinner. Swami Nambillai also accepted his invitation. Swami went there and surprised to see his discourses being documented sequentially. Swami enquired to him and Sri Vadakku Thiruveedipillai explained his acharyan about it. Swami was unhappy about it since a sishyan has got no right to do anything without the consultation of the respected acharyas. Sri VadakkuThiruveedipillai tendered his apology for the act done with the reason. The reason given was – ‘To remember his discourses it was documented’. Swami Nambillai continued his reading and collected back all the script.
Swami handed over them to Eyyunni Madhavar. It was nicely composed by Swami Manavaalamaamunigal in his Upadesa Rathnamaalai Prabhandham.
Upadesa Rathnamaalai Paasuram:
Seeraar Vadakku Thiruveedippillai, Ezhu Thaeraar Tamizh Vedhatheeduthanai – Thaarumena vaangimun Nambillai Eyunni Maadhavarkuththaan koduthaar, Pinnadhanaithaan.

Note:
Eyunni Maadhavar – Siriyaazhvaanappillai.
As the above prabhandham states, then it was handed over to Sri Naaloorpillai and it came to the knowledge of OraanvazhiAacharyan Swami Thiruvaaimozhippillai. Finally it was taught to Swami Manavaalamaamunigal and swami did a kalakshebam for one year in front of Sri Namperumal which the entire srivaishnava community knows.

Life History in brief:
With the anugruham of his acharyan swami Nanjeer had written a vyaakyaanam for swami Namaazhwar’s Thiruvaaimozhi popularly called as onpathinaayirappadi. Swami Nanjeer had a desire to document this vyaakyanam again. In Tamil it is called as Pattolai paduthuthal. [Pattu+Olai]
Swami Nanjeer was searching for a right person to fulfill his desire. Finally swami selected Sri Namboor Varadar to do the job. Then swami did panchasamskaaram to Sri Namboor Varadar, taught him the entire Onpathinaayirappadi and told him to rewrite the total vyaakyanam.
Sri Namboor Varadar took the script, obtained permission from his acharyan and started his journey towards his hometown.
On his way back to his native, Swami had to cross the Cauvery River. So swami keeping the scripts tied with towel on his head and started swimming to cross the river. In between a big wave he came and the script was taken away by the wave. Swami on reaching his town was very much worried about it.
Sri Namboor Varadar, with his memory power wrote the entire script again. With the grace of his acharyan, Sri Namboor Varadar had written with some additional references to the text. Then Swami Namboor Varadar showed it to his acharyan. Swami Nanjeer was surprised to see the additional references and Swami Nanjeer enquired about it. Sri Namboor Varadar fell at his lotus feet and explained his acharyan about the happenings. Swami Nanjeer showered his grace, picked him up and called him as ‘Nambillai’. [Our son].
Swami Nambillai continued to learn everything from Swami Nanjeer and at the same time Sri Nambillai was also teaching to some of his disciples. [Eyunni Madhavar, Vadakku Thiruveethippillai, and Swami Periavaachaanpillai etc.] Swamy Nambillai was giving discourses and a lot of people attended to it and even it outnumbered Namperumal Ghosti at times.
On seeing this, Sri Kandhaadai Thozhappar felt jealousy and blamed swami Nambillai with some harsh words in the Namperumal Sannidhi.
Note:
[The sannidhi nirvaaham at Srirangam was administered by swami Mudaliaandaan and it was continued by his family members. Swami Kandhaadai Thozhappar is the grand son of Swami Mudaliaandaan]
Swami Nambillai left for his Thirumaaligai, and was thinking about the incident throughout the night. Our sampradayam says that ‘a Sri Vaishnavan should not do or commit to do anything that hurts the heart of another Sri Vaishnavan. Even though the act was done by Sri Kandhaadai Thozhappar, Swamy Nambillai felt that there might be some reason for this act. So Swami Nambillai decided to convey his apology for the act. Immediately swami went to his(Thozhappar’s) house and waited there through out the night.
In the meantime, Swami Kandhaadai Thozhappar also realized his mistake by the advice of his wife, who strongly condemned Swamy Naambillai for his misdeed and decided to tender his apology to swami Nambillai, the next day. On the next morning, Sri Kandhaadai Thozhappar opened the doors and was surprised to see Swami Nambillai waiting there. Immediately Swami Nambillai fell down at his feet and conveyed his apology for his misconduct. Sri Kandhaadai Thozhappar picked Sri Nambillai up, realized the greatness of swami and said he had become the acharyan for the whole world. That’s why Sri Nambillai is called as Lokacharyar.
There is one famous saying in our sampradaayam. Swami had given so many lectures and discourses, irrespective of which he had a big ghosti for his lectures and discourses. So vidwans used to say when they enjoy the ghosti anubhavam – Thus Namperumaal Ghostiyaa alla Nambillai goshtiyaa.
Once Swamy Nambillai was returning from Thiruvellarai with his disciples, after having the Darshan of Emberuman and they had to cross Kauveri River, which was already flooded with water. It was raining heavily and the sun had already set. There was only one boat (parisil), wherein they all were aboard. While they were crossing half way, the boat started sinking and the boatman cautioned that one of them should jump down into the river or else all of them had to drown into the river. One lady who was also one of the disciples of Swamy Nambillai jumped into the river, requesting the boatman that he would live long, if he safely took her acharyan to the bank of the river. The ferryman did accordingly. Swamy Nambillai was very much moved by the act of the lady and felt that he had become the cause for the death of a lady. To their surprise they found that the lady was standing on the bank already and she fell down into the feet of Swamy saying that she had been saved by the blessings of Acharya and explained that the river was shallow where she jumped.
This story conveys the message to us that a Sishyan should always be prepared to sacrifice his soul, body and property for the sake of his Acharyan and in turn Emberuman would certainly come to the rescue of the Sishyan. If we go through the entire life history of Swamy Nambillai, we would understand the various qualities that adorn a true vaishnavite.
Works:
Eedu Muppatthaaraayirappadi Vyaakyaanam to Swami Namaazhwaars Thiruvaaimozhi prabhandham.
Finally on a fine day swami attained the lotus feet of his acharyan by keeping the head and feet in the lap of his sishyaas.
To complete the lecture of this Bhagavath Vishaya Grantham, hardly it will take one year. This grantham cannot be learnt by mere reading the book and it has to be learnt from a learned scholar or acharyan by getting upadesam. One has to learn the meaning at least for first twenty paasurams of Swami Nammaazhwaar’s Thiruvaaimozhi.
This vyaakyaanam is commonly called as Eedu. This Eedu has been taken by all our acharyas for kalakshebams.
Adiyaen request all the Bhagavathaas to learn Thiruvaaimozhi Nootrandaadhi Prabhandham, which was composed so beautifully by swami Manavaalamaamunigal. Chanting these 100 paasurams is equal to chanting of entire Thiruvaaimozhi Prabhandham.
Swami Nambillai Thiruvadigale Saranam.
Vaazhi Yathirajan!
