Kulasekara: A King Among Azhwars

AZHWARS.Kulasekara Azhwar was a royal saint, a assets within the lineage of the kings of Travancore UN agency dominated the dominion as Padmanabhadasa.He describes himself as “Kolli Kavalan, Koodal Nayagan a well-liked king, he had a large army and his administration was defined by virtue, justice and happiness. Then one fine day, his religious eye opened.

 

Already well browse within the Vedas and Upanishads due to his learned father Dhridavvrita, Kulasekara organized Ramayana discourses in his palace on a usual. Love for the Lord and contempt for the globe grew in his mind in inverse proportion.

 

As he was hearing the discourse, the story of Lord Rama fighting single handedly fourteen,000 Asuras at Janasthanam was being narrated. Kulasekara couldn't imagine Lord Rama battling on an individual basis. Instantly he gave walking orders to his army to assist Ramachandra. balled over, the Ministers and advisors established a bunch of armed men to return within the wrong way and meet the king. once the 2 forces met, the news was broken to Kulasekara:

 

“When mythical being looked upon her Lord

 

His foemen slain, the saints renovated,

 

In pride and rapture uncontrolled

 

She clasped him in her adoring hold” (Valmiki Ramayana half 3- sloka thirty and 39)

 

On hearing Rama’s conclusion Kulasekara’s joy knew no bounds and he came back home. The daily intonation of Ramayana was resulting in a repeat of this drama. The king was invariably encircled by Srivaishnavites. so as to wean him, the Ministers created a false accusation that the Srivaishnavites were guilty of stealing the jewels of Sri Rama being idolized by the King.

 

The King ordered a vessel with a live elapid snake in it. “If the Srivaishnavites were honest in thought, word and deed,” aforesaid the King, “I won't be bitten by the elapid snake. however if they're crooked, let the elapid snake kill American state.” thus locution, the king place his hand within the vessel and withdrew it unharmed. The sick of ruler entrusted the dominion to his son Dhridavvrita and commenced on his journey to Srirangam.

 

Perumal Thirumozhi, the one zero five pasurams that poured from him represent instance religious and emotional literature at its best. associate degree inscription happiness to the amount of Kulothunga Chozha, 1070-1112, informs U.S.A. concerning Lord Ranganatha sitting beneath the Punnai tree throughout the night and hearing the start of the primary decad with “Thettarum thiral” and therefore the distribution of prasadam. the primary 3 decads sing the glory of Srirangam and therefore the Lord, representing Azhagiya Manavalan Vishayam. In these pasurams, he mixes Bhagavad Vishayam and goes on to clarify that the Lord loves people who love his devotees.

 

He desires to change state as a herb or a worm or a fish or stone or dirt or a shenbaga tree or finally the step resulting in the sanctum sanctorum once a shower within the Hindoo Pushkarani. He visits many different shrines.He depicts the distress of Devaki UN agency envies the privilege of Yasodha looking at a young Krishna with butter in his hand and mouth. He says that Krishna, fearing that the mother could penalize him, is crying with collapsed hands (thollai inbathu irudhi kandale).

 

The decad covering Dasaratha’s ruefulness on causing away Rama to the forest is filled with pathos. ought to Rama have heeded the father’s words and maintained his promise? Acharyas in their commentaries suggests that Dasaratha failed to attain Moksha however solely visited Swarga as a result of he sent the young aristocrat to the forest to stay his own word. He ought to have glorious, UN agency Rama was. Viswamitra had told him.

 

Dasaratha selected to abide by samanya Hindu deity in preference to the sacred Hindu deity of holding the Lord.

 

The ultimate step at Tirumala hills resulting in the sanctum sanctorum is understood as Kulasekaran padi. a good looking temple has come back up at Thiruvanjikkalam, terribly close to the traditional temple of Mukunda.
