RamarpaNam-102

File 102.

Jai Sri Ram.

Paramapada Nathan sitting pretty at the unreachable Vaikundam controls the entire universe of its destiny.  Those who assist Him are the Anantha, Garuda, Visvakshenaadi NityasoorigaL.

The same Lord coming down to Thiruppaarkadal, incarnates into Varaha, Narasimha, Rama, Krishna vibhava moorthigaL.

In all these places, Nityasooris serve the Lord in several of their capacities and for example Adhisesha or Anantha serve the Lord at Paramapadam as Dharmadhi Peetam, at Thiruppaarkadal as Sesha Paryangam and at Archastalam like Thiruvallikeni as Sesha Peetam. Garuda submits Himself as vehicle to Him and can witness the 11, 9 & 5 Garuda Sevas at Thiru Nangoor, Azhwar Thirunagari and Srivilliputhoor Divyadesams on special occasions.

After claiming Shunesheba, Ambareesha put him on His chariot and drove away fast. By noon they were near the holy lake and while the King took rest and fell asleep, Shunesheba, utilising the opportunity, approached Vishvamitra, his maternal uncle, to save him from human sacrifice.  Sage Vishvamitra asked His children whether anyone them will go as Yajna Pasu in lieu of Shunesheba;

ayam muni suto baalo mattaH sharaNam icChati |
asya jiivita maatreNa priyam kuruta putrakaaH ||

But on hearing these words of the sage, Madhushyanda and the other sons of Vishvamitra refused saying

katham aatma sutaan hitvaa traayase anya sutam vibho |
akaaryam iva pashyaamaH shva maamsam iva bhojane

Sage Vishvamitra cursed his sons for defying his orders and desired to save His nephew as well to help Ambareesha complete the Yajna He started. That is the greatness of Vishvamitra.

What the Nityasoori desire is to serve with willingness to please the Lord. But absence of determination to help a person whom their father has given shelter and lack of faith on fathers’ own words on the part of Vishvamitra children ruined their life to a ChandaLa.  Should not the children trust one’s own father else whom will they confide?

This shows that when faith is lost everything is lost.
