Swami Jayadevar - Page 3

For Radhai, cold became as hot, her body even when smeared with sandalwood was like on fire, amritham became poison, why?

ONLY WHEN KRISHNAN IS THERE, ALL VIPARITHAMS WILL BECOME ANUKOOLAMS.

IF HE IS NOT THERE, ALL ANUKOOLAMS WILL BECOME PRATHIKOOLAMS.

Did not Radhe behave in opposition to Krishna's love. When Krishna showered love, Radha showered Dwesham - (Here we must visualize Radhai, not as the maiden literally but as the "swaroopam" which is defined by all of our bhakthi towards the person of Sri Krishna who yearns for the love of the maiden (radhai) which is bhakthi and we are all those bhakthas. The sakhi (friend) is the Guru comforting us in all our "chanchalams" (confusions) and pacifying us and leading us on the path of devotion towards the bhagavan. Thus the Nikuncham (griham) must be beautiful and adorned with beauty and bhakthi to invite the bhagavan.

yad rAgiNi dveShasthAsi.....


So the whole world is now appearing viparitham to Radhe.


"Kannan will definitely come and when he comes be courteous to him and be happy" console the sakhis. Now Kannan came in all Splendor. What Majestic Splendor it was.


As soon as we see, we have to fall at the bhagawan Thiruvadi only


But Radhe, it seems did not see Kannan directly, instead she looked at the Sakhis face and smiled. But Kannan saw her smile and said this Stotram, its a "Presidamana Stotram" and very famous

Sri Krishna is pacifying Radhe. Nobody can pacify like butter as Sri Krishna does. Bhaktas themselves will feel this to be too much. Krishnan pacifies by saying, "I will fall at your feet so that I may be purified by the dust of your feet, place your feet on my devoted head". Krishnan says this so confidently, why he says so is because,

"Radhai is Bhaktha, all Bhakthas Samastharoopam is Radhai!"

Bhaktas feet he will fall, says Krishna!!!


Nirapeksham munim shantam nirvairam samadarshanam

Anuvrajaamyaham nityam poojyeyetyanghri-renubhih

“I closely follow that Muni who is adorned with non-expectation, calmness, non-enmity and equal vision, so that I may be purified by the dust of his feet.” — Says Krishna Himself!

"Bhagavathars Pada Dhulukku naan asai Padukiren", says Krishna in his Krishna Avatar to Uddhava. When he has told thus, why this is not possible? Should he not fall at the feet of Radhai. Only purushas are bhakthas is it and why cannot women be, why is that? Does it mean that an woman's feet does not have any mahimai. That is why Uddhava, who had learnt the sarva sastras said,

"Vande Nandavraja sthreenam Padharenum".

OK, all that's fine, but how will Jayadevar now write this. Jayadevar thinks in his mind that Sri Krishna in order to pacify radhai would request atleast to keep her feet on the blessed lord's head. But then Jayadevar thinks this is not correct as "Radhai (jeevatma) would be keeping her feet on the head of the paramatma". Jayadevar is perplexed about writing this in his kavyam. This poem is not Jayadevar's, its just coming on its own to Jayadevar isn't it. Thus Krishnan is utimately responsible for this poem. 

Jayadevar thinks he has to write this but then he puts the pen down and decides against it. This he does many times not getting courage enough to write it. He never thought of Radha as a separate sthree but rather as a bhaktha, gopikai and gopikas being sthrees are also bhaktars anyway. For all the bhakthars, Sri Krishna's respect for their bhakthi is also true is it not. But Jayadevar has a little hesitation. He did not want to write this sentence, everyone will sing this poem and it will be known and for that reason alone he wanted to hide this sentence. Jayadevar decides that in this part, "I need to modify with some other phrase". 

Thinking thus, he went to perform his usual Thaila Snanam (oil bath). Padmavathi was then alone in the house and when she heard her name being called "Padma" she turned around to see Jayadevar already come back home. She asked, "Why did you come so soon". Jayadevar said, "I suddenly remembered a sentence, which immediately I wanted to write otherwise I will forget it. That is why I came so early. Please bring that palm leaf". He took the leaf and then in his beautiful handwriting started to write the part he did not want to write initially. Then returning the palm leaf to padma and asking her to keep it back, he left.

Now sometime after the real Jayadevar had completed his snanams and anushtanams, he came to see that what he had not wanted to write had already been written in the palm leaf. He was shocked and amazed to see this. He asked Padmavathi, "Who wrote this? Why, asked padmavathi? What I did not want to write, somebody has written that". Padmavathi asked, "Did you tell your kathai to anyone else or me anytime". Jayadevar said, "No! this should not be said, its "parama rahasyam". So I had kept it in my heart only". 

Then Padma replied, "Whoever was in your heart only would have written this then". The moment he realized what Padma was saying, tears flowed into his eyes. He saw the handwriting and the words written like pearls and he touched them with his eyes. Bhagavan had accepted his words for that sentence. Not only that, the entire Gita Govindam was accepted, he now understood. He then looked at Padmavathi and said, "Padmavathi, you are always the blessed one! If bhagavan wanted this, could he not have come and demanded of me. When I am away, calling you and giving darshan has become a habit for the bhagavan. bhagavan has given you darshan, isnt it. Your bhakthi is truth. Even then I don't have any shortcomings. Why, in my book, Sri Krishna's handwriting is present, that means a lot to me. Jayadevar kept on seeing the writing again and again. That’s enough for me."

Hey Kripasindho! Bhakthavatsala! Madhava! Give me poorna Bhakthi! "Unmayana Bhakthi jenma jenma, evvalavu janma yeduthalum Bhakthi alukkuma yenna!"

TOPMOST!

Thirumangaiazhwar was one of the famous azhwars. He went to Nacchiar koil and started performing kainkaryam there. Perumal was waiting for thirumangaiazhwar to visit at his abode saranatha perumal, thirucherai. But thirumangaiazhwar continued to do the kainkaryam at nacchiar koil itelf. Perumal was waiting in the hope that thirumangaiazhwar being so close in nachhiar koil would come and see him. Perumal so much loved his devotee that he could not wait anymore and appeared in thitumangaiazhwars dream and requested him to visit his abode at tirucherai. But azhwar said he would come and visit him some time. perumal waited with hope. One day azhwar came to visit perumal at tirucherrai. But as soon as thirumangaiazhwar set foot on tirucherai, he was shocked to see all the very ground - pebbles, sand and stones all around tirucherai was completly transformed into salagramams. He could now only keep his foot on the salagramams and was perplexed and asked perumal why this has happened and how could he. Saranatha perumal then said, 'I was waiting for your thiruvadi sparsham all along and hence this transformation into salagramams'. This was similar to what Lord Krishna felt for Radhai (tvamasi mama jeevanam, tvamasi mama bhushanam, tvamasi mama bhava jalathi rathnam) in 19th Ashtapathi (Smarakarala kandanam mama sirasi mandanam - 19th Ashtapathi Vadasi Yathi).
