He reveals his great desire to take shelter of emperumAnAr’s lotus feet. emperumAnAr, having just reformed yagya mUrthy at that time and established him as aruLALa perumAL emperumAnAr, instructs ananthAzhwAn to become a sishya of aruLALa perumAL emperumAnAr<\/a>. They all happily oblige and follow that instruction with great joy. aruLALa perumAL emperumAnAr declares that though they are his sishyas they should fully depend on emperumAnAr’s lotus feet only. emperumAnAr’s lotus feet in thirumalai is named as anathAzhwAn. ananthAzhwAn is similar to madhurakavi AzhwAr in the following ways:<\/p>\n He arrives at thiruppathi via kAnchipuram (after performing mangaLAsAsanam to dhEva perumAL and thirukkachi nambi). ananthAzhwAn and other srIvaishNavas come down and welcome emperumAnAr<\/a>. emperumAnAr first refuses to climb on thirumalai saying that thiruvEnkatam hill is a form of AdhisEshan himself. But after his sishyas prolonged requests saying that if emperumAnAr does not climb the hill how can they climb the same, emperumAnAr agrees and with utmost devotion climbs the hill. thirumalai nambi himself comes to the entrance of thirumalai and welcomes emperumAnAr. emperumAnAr then visits the garden “irAmAnusan” that is maintained by ananthAzhwAn and seeing the great variety of fresh flowers he feels blissful. As stated by thirumangai AzhwAr<\/a> “vaLarththathanAl payan peRREn” (parakAla nAyaki declares that she was pleased\/honoured by nurturing her pet parrot since the parrot repeats emperumAn<\/a>‘s names\/charithram), emperumAnAr also becomes very pleased by ananthAzhwAn’s utmost dedication.<\/p>\n Once, when ananthAzhwAn and his pregnant wife was working on making a pond for the garden, emperumAn<\/a> himself appears as a small boy and tries to help him. ananthAzhwAn wanting to fulfill his AchAryan’s instructions on his own rejects the boy’s help. ananthAzhwAn’s wife accepts the boy’s help in absence of ananthAzhwAn. Coming to know about that, ananthAzhwAn becomes very angry and he starts chasing the buy and finally throws his crow-bar on the boy. The crow-bar hits the chin of the boy but the boy vanishes into the temple. thiruvEnkatamudaiyAn<\/a>‘s chin itself looks hurt and that is why even today pachai karpUram (camphor) is applied on thiruvEnkatamudaiyAn’s chin to cool down the wound.<\/p>\n ananthAzhwAn’s instructions and glories are identified in various places in the vyAkyAnams. Let us see some of them now.<\/p>\n Thus, we have seen some glimpses of the glorious life of ananthAzhwAn. He was fully situated in bhAgavatha nishtai and was very dear to emperumAnAr<\/a> himself. Let us pray at his lotus feet that we too get a little bit of such bhAgavatha nishtai.<\/p>\n ananthAzhwAn’s works can be downloaded from http:\/\/acharya.org\/anandazhvar\/index.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n ananthAzhwAn’s thaniyan:<\/p>\n akilAthma guNAvAsam agyAna thimirApaham<\/em> \u0b85\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0bae \u0b95\u0bc1\u0ba3\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb8\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0b9c\u0bcd\u0b9e\u0bbe\u0ba9 \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bae\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0baa\u0bb9\u0bae\u0bcd<\/em> adiyen sarathy ramanuja dasan<\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/, <\/a>also visit http:\/\/ponnadi.blogspot.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n Sources: 6000 padi guru paramparA prabhAvam, vArthAmAlai, vyAkyAnams, periya thirumudi adaivu, MAV swamy’s vAzhvum vAkkum for quick reference<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" sri: srimathE rAmAnujAya nama: srimadh varavaramunayE nama: sri vAnAchala mahAmunayE nama: thirunakshathram: chithrai, chithrai avathAra sthalam: sirupuththuR\/kiranganur (on bangalore-mysore route) AchAryan: aruLALa perumAL emperumAnAr Place from where he attained paramapadham: thiruvEnkatam Works: vEnkatEsa ithihAsa mAlai, gOdha chathuslOki, rAmAnuja chathuslOki ananthAzhwAn who is also known as ananthAchAryar, anantha sUri, etc., (along with echAn, thondanUr nambi and … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63,48],"tags":[85],"class_list":["post-761","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-english","category-other-acharyas","tag-guruparamparai-english-tag"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/761","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=761"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/761\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=761"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=761"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=761"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
<\/a>Subsequently, while giving lectures on the nectarean pAsurams of thiruvAimozhi, emperumAnAr<\/a> started explaining “ozhivil kAlamellAm” padhigam (3.3) where nammAzhwAr<\/a> reveals his great desire to perform pure and constant service to thiruvEnkatamudaiyAn. In that padhigam, AzhwAr reveals the liking of thiruvEnkatamudaiyAn for fresh and abundant flowers. emperumAnAr, contemplating on AzhwAr’s divine desire, posts a question to his audience “Is there any one who will go to thirumalai, make a beautiful garden and serve emperumAn<\/a> with beautiful flowers everyday?”. ananthAzhwAn, at once raises upto the occasion and says he will fulfill AzhwAr’s and emperumAnAr’s desire. emperumAnAr becomes mighty pleased and ananthAzhwAn immediately takes leave to thirumalai. He first performs mangaLAsAsanam to thiruvEnkatamudaiyAn<\/a>, prepares a garden and names the garden “irAmAnusan” and starts serving fresh flowers to emperumAn everyday. Hearing this, emperumAnAr decides to visit thirumalai and have dharshan of the same. He quickly completes his thiruvAimozhi kAlakshEpam (lectures) and leaves to thirumalai.<\/p>\n<\/a>Once when ananthAzhwAn was bitten by a snake. When his associates become worried, he simply says if the snake that bit me is more powerful, I will give up this body and serve emperumAn<\/a> in paramapadham after bathing in virajA river. If the snake that was bitten (my body) is more powerful, I will continue my kainkaryam here in thiruvEnkatam after bathing in the pushkariNi here. Such was his attachment to kainkaryam, he did not care a bit for his body.<\/p>\n<\/a>Once when ananthAzhwAn brought a bag of prasAdham from thiruvEnkatam during a travel to a nearby town. When he opens the bag of prasAdham, he notices some ants, he at once instructs his sishyas to leave them back at the hill. He says “since kulasEkara AzhwAr<\/a> has declared that he (and other devotees of emperumAn) wants to be anything on thirumalai, this may be him, so we should not disturb their life on thiruvEnkatam”.<\/p>\n<\/a>Once when ananthAzhwAn was making a garland, thiruvEnkatamudaiyAn sends some one to summon ananthAzhwAn at his sannidhi. ananthAzhwAn arrives late after completing his kainkaryam of making the garland. thiruvEnkatamudaiyAn asks why he was late and ananthAzhwAn replies “while the flowers are blooming I want to make the garland, I have nothing else to do in this sannidhi other than my kainkaryam as ordered by emperumAnAr<\/a>“. emperumAn then asks “What if I ask you to leave this place then?” and ananthAzhwAn replies “You arrived at thirumalai a little before me and I came here at the orders of my AchAryan. How can you ask me to leave?”. emperumAn was very pleased to see the great AchArya nishtai of ananthAzhwAn.<\/p>\n\n

<\/a>ananthAzhwAn is honoured by thiruvEnkatamudaiyAn<\/a> even today. Both during his appearance day (chithrai\/chithrai) and thIrtham day (thiruvAdi pUram), thiruvEnkatamudaiyAn visits the garden of ananthAzhwAn and gives his own garland and srI satagOpam to the maghizha tree (under which ananthAzhwAn’s divine form was cremated) in the garden.<\/p>\n<\/a>ananthAzhwAn – thirumalai<\/p>\n
