The beauty of nature at tiruppullambhutankudi as enjoyed by Kaliyan in His Pasurams

kaliyan was so overcome with the natural beauty and the fertility of the fields, the dana-dhAnya and tIrtha samrddhi (abundance) of this divya deSam that he described them with joy in the second half of each of the ten pAsurams dedicated to valvill rAman of tiruppuLLambhUtamkuDi.

kaliyan celebrates the harinAma sankIrtanam of the happy honey bees as they fly around in the groves; He refers to the graceful peacocks spreading their wings and dancing there. He observes the caring birds entering the rice fields to look for the food of small fish for their young ones waiting in their nests nearby (puLLu pazhanak-kazhani athanuL pOi, piLLaikku irai tEdum puLLam- bhUtam kuDi). kaliyan sees and describes the flowers of the puNNai trees shedding the golden pollen in the groves surrounding the Temple of the Lord (puNNai ponnEy tAthu udhirkkum puLLambhUtamkuDi). The flowers shed their golden hued pollen on the bees performing harinAma sankIrtanam. kaliyan refers to the veda ghosham raised by veda vitpannars in their palatial mansions and salutes their anushTAna sampat at this vaidIka divya deSam.

Many SrImat azhagiya singars have stayed at tiruppuLLambhUtankuDi divya deSam for extended periods during their nirvAham of SrI lakshmInrsimha AastAnam. The twin divya deSam of tiru AadanUr is nearby and equi-distant from this divya deSam is SrI nrsimhapuram, where the brndAvanams of five azhagiya singars are. It is no wonder, this tranquil hamlet of tiruppuLLambhUtankuDi and tiruAadanUr have received such attention from many azhagiya singars. The HH the 45th paTTam SrImat azhagiya singar, SrI nArAyaNa yatIndra mahA deSikan has taken a keen interest in performing many kaimkaryams here. He spent a cAturmAsyam at tiruppuLLambhUtankuDi three years ago to plan future kaimkaryams at these two divya deSams.

The tiruppuLLambhUtankuDi kaimkaryams identified by SrImat azhagiya singar and recommended for us to support them are:

1) A kaNNADi aRai (Mirror mALikai) for valvill rAman and poRRAmaraiyAL.

2) Reconfiguration of the western wall to create an entrance directly form inside the temple for the Lord to exit and visit the brndAvanam of HH the 19th paTTam SrImat azhagiya singar located on the banks of the jaTAyu pushkaraNi.

3) A roofing over the space between the eastern rAja gopuram and the ardha manTapam through which the Lord, veda pArAyaNakkArALs and the sevArtIs have to pass. The ground in summer during the brahmotsavams is very hot and one can develop blisters on one's feet without the needed shade.

4) the other repair works and construction of additional vAhanams for the utsavams.

Among these tasks recommended by SrImat azhagiya singar, the construction of the Mirror Room has top priority. Please contact aDiyEn (914-62-6690 at New York) or SrIman K.Chellappa at Chennai (91-44-2-817-2233) for ways in which you can take part in this kaimkaryam. You can sponsor one to ten or more square feet of the kaNNAdi paLLi aRai. Four Hundred Square feet of glasses and mirrors are needed. The rest of the expenses would be the teak wood framing, electrical wiring, fittings including bulbs and exhaust fans. The total cost estimate is 6,00,000 Rupees. The work can be completed in three to four months time frame once we have the needed funds.

 

TIRU AADHANUR DIVYA DESAM:

The dhyAna Slokam for the divya dampatis of tiru AadhanUr is:

Aadi rangeSwaram vande pATali vana samastitam
bhrgu agni kAmadenUbhyo dhattapITam dayAindiram
vimAne praNave ranganAyakyA susamASrItam
sUrya pushkaraNi tIre Seshasyopari sAyinam

Meaning:

adiyEn prostrates before the Lord of tiru AadhanUr and His divine consort, SrI ranganAyaki resting under the praNava vimAnam and on the banks of sUrya pushkaraNi in the middle of forest made up of pATali trees. They have blessed their anugrham on bhrgu rshi (adopted Father of SrI raganAyaki), agni devan, (who got rid of brahma hatti dosham at this divya deSam) and the divine cow, kAmadhenu.

mUlavar at this divya deSam has the tirunAmam of AaNDu aLakkum aiyyan. He has a measuring vessel (marakkAl) under His head and a writing tool (ezhuttANi) on His left hand. He is resting on Aadi Seshan and is casting His mercy laden glances on tirumangai AzhwAr inside the garbha grham; kaliyan performed mangaLASAsanam for ANDaLakkum aiyyan in the divya prabandham of periya tirumaDal. utsavar's tirunAmam is azhagiya maNavALan. tAyAr has the sacred names of bhArgavi, mantra pITeSwari, kamala vAsini and SrI ranganAyaki. sthala vrkshams are puNNai and pATali. The tIrthams are sUrya and candra tIrthams.

At tiru AadhanUr, there are two kaimkaryams that need attention:

1) The protective roof over tAyAr sannidi to avoid rain leaking in (Estimated cost: 2 Lakh Rupees). This is the priority kaimkaryam at this divya deSam. The divya saundharyam of SrI ranganAyaki at tiru AadhanUr is as indescribable. Please join in to provide a firm and leak proof roof at tAyaar sannidhi thru’ mEl taLam ODu patittal kaimkaryam.

2) the reinforcement of the weak matils (ramparts).

Please participate and receive the anugrham of the divya dampatis of tiruppuLLambhUtankuDi and tiru AadhanUr. Now let us reflect on the choice words that kaliyan has used in his ten pAsurams for salutation of the Lord valvilli rAman, the Lord of tiruppuLLambhUtankuDi in this eBook.
