Periyapuranam - Viranminda Nayanar

Worshipping the Lord nicely decorated with the bow pinAkam and the arrow pAshupatAstram , the axe, the fire, the disc sudharshanam , the mace, the sword and crores of powerful arms, the valiant sage parshurAma who got the magnificent axe parashu as blessing for that, made the land very well known for its beauty - the land of mountains, the land of elephants of mammoth ivory, the land that worships mahAdEva - the kingdom of chEra . There is this beautiful place called cheNkunRUr (now known as thiruchcheNkOdu), the place where the God stands in the superior male-female (ardanArIshwarar) form enjoying the sandal smell of the forests.

To illuminate the life of the traditional farmers of that town, viRanmiNdar was born there in an agricultural family. Holding tight only the feet of the fire like God that are beyond the reach of words, he was dared to root out any bond that was an obstacle. Caring much for the true devotees. Superior is his fame who minds only the Merciful Lord. Praying the abodes of the Almighty who makes abode in the hearts of such devotees and saluting the slaves of the Lord before they could salute him, he traveled through many parts of the land and finally arrived at the town thiruvArUr where the Lord rides the minds of the huge devotees also the big chariot in that town. He immersed himself in that beautiful shiva for whom the vEdAs became the chariot.
In the thiruvArUr there was a hall called dhEvAchiriyam , where the great slaves of the blue throated Lord assemble and praise the simple and sweet shiva. Blessed are those who had the golden opportunity to see them, hear them follow them and serve them ! What else one requires to get liberation other than moving with those great bunch of fragrant followers !! viRanmiNdar prostrated to that people in the right path towards the Truth and stayed with them. One day when chundharar(1) who considers himself as the slave of the slave of the slaves of the sha.nkara went straight into the altar of the temple without saluting the devotees in the dhEvAchiriyam hall. Actually he was praying the Lord when can he get blessed by saluting those marvelous devotees. viRanmiNdar who noticed sundharar proceeding without prostrating to the crowd of devotees said angrily, "That sundharan who didn't know to pay respect to the devotees is no longer one in us." "The Lord who blesses him who proceeds without saluting the slaves also is not one among us", he continued out of his extreme respect for devotees. The Lord who accepts even the scoldings of the devotees as the praises done with the best coined words enjoyed this love and angry words as well and blessed viRanmiNdar. He gave the first line to chundharar to sing the greatness of devotees. chundharar composed that as the great gem thiruththoNdaththokai(2) which is the basic source for this periya purANam . What else can be more fame than saying t viRanmiNdar was the principle person who was instrumental in getting the excellent thiruththoNdath thokai from chundharar. Living long in this world which is meant for love and worship, upholding the respect of the devotees, that great devotee viRanmiNdAr stayed in a right way under the graceful feet of the Lord heading the army of the God. Let the emphasis that is clearly given by viRanmiNda nAyanAr for the respect one should give to the reverend devotees of the Lord stay in the mind.

Periyapuranam - meypporuL nAyanAr

chEthi nAdu was one of the ancient kingdoms with the town thirukkovalUr - where Lord shiva destroyed the demon andhakAsuran, the form of ignorance - as it's capital. That kingdom made its fame indelible in the history when the king meypporuL nAyanAr, whose life was an example of tolerance and doing good even to enemy, ruled it.

He had his heart engaged in hailing hara and hands in helping His devotees. He served them as the way they required, ruled the country with law and justice bringing peace to the country and devotion bringing peace to the minds of the people. His valour allowed no enemy to raise against the kingdom. He considered the wealth of loving the luminant feet of Lord shiva to be the greatest of all. The graceful form of the devotees made him do anything for them.

muththa nAthan was the king who made all futile efforts to win meypporuLAr in the battle-field. He finally realised that fox can't beat the elephant in the fight. As the sin of taking revenge went high in his mind, he started enjoying the rotton smell of crooked ways. He knew that the meypporuLAr salutes and serves the devotees smeared with holy ash and other great symbols of Lord shankara. That spineless coward called muththanAthan wanted to exploit this superior quality of that devotee.

He covered his body with the holy form of devotees smearing ash, with matted hair, covered a knife in a book he held in hand, as the darkness coming in the shadow of light. He arrived in the dark night in the palace of meypporuLAr with his mind darker than the one outside. Thinking him as a devotee of the Lord, the guards at many doors on the way permitted him with salutations. When he arrived at the room where the king was sleeping with dreams too of serving the devotees, the personal guard of the king by name thaththan told him that the king is taking rest and requested him to wait. But muththa nAthan went ahead saying that he was coming from himAlayam to meet the king. thaththan couldn't stop him as he was in the form of devotee. The queen who saw him immediately woke up the king. The king pleased instead of getting angry for being disturbed at his private place, bowed down as soon as he saw the form of a devotee. muththa nAthan told him "I have got a rare Agama given by your God. I came to explain you that. So ask your wife to leave and we should be alone". The king with untainted heart asked his wife to leave, gave him a nice seat, sat over the ground and bowed down, to raise up in our hearts. The crooked enemy like opening the book took the knife and pierced the body of the king and pierced himself into the gloom stricken Hell. Who won ? Even if he lost his life, it was meypporuLAr who had a firm belief that the holy form of devotees is the Truth and winning his place under the Graceful feet of God and won the hearts of the devotees inspiring them.

thaththan who doubted muththa nAthan from the beginning leaped immediately into the room and raised his sword to kill the crooked. But meypporuLAr stopped him saying "thaththA! He is one among us". thaththan cried and asked him to order his duty. meypporuLAr asked him to guard the devotee of the Lord from others till he crosses the frontier. Unable to go against the word of his loving king thaththan guarded the wicked to the frontier. meypporuLAr held his breath till thaththan came back saying that muththa nAthan crossed the frontier without any trouble. He praised thaththan for his action and advised his courtmen to uphold the good deed of loving the devotees and respecting the holy symbols of the Lord. The truthfulness of his love for the form of devotees led him to the Truth that dances in the great golden hall of thillai. Let the greatness of meypporuLAr who guarded even the enemy who took his life in a crooked way, just because he was in the holy form of devotees, stay in the mind.

Periyapuranam - iLaiyAnkudimARa nAyanAr

iLaiyAnkudi illuminated itself in the history by having a slave of slaves of sha.nkara known as iLaiyAnkudimARanAr . Ceded the his whole heart to the Lord who robs the hearts of the saluters. He got the widening wealth out of the hard work in the farm fields and the wide heart that tries to reach the infinite in the selfless service to the worshippers of the warrier who destroyed the three cities of three impurities. He had an enjoyable life with this wealth. Whoever came at his house with the love for the wet matted haired Supreme, were given a appealing welcome with his folded hands on the head, blossomed face showering flowers of nice words and his humble deeds making the red carpet. He would clean their feet with the scented water, give them the comfortable seat and then serve the food which is rich in all the six tastes for those devotees who love the taste of Holy five letters than anything else. He lived like the kupEra who was given limitless wealth by the Lord.

To show to the human kind nAyanAr's real service motto which was so strong that even the absence of wealth would not be able to shake, the God apraised by vEdas slowly changed his wealth to poverty. The wealth shrunk, but his broad mind never shrunk. He sold his belongings, borrowed from proper means possible to continue the service that was at no time second in quality. The Lord whose characters even the creater and protector of the world do not know compoletely came to his house in this situation in the form that His loving devotees have. It was the dark night in the mansoon season. So what ? There is enough light in the hearts of the iLaiyAnkudi mARanAr couple, the person who arrives in the house is also the form of light.

nAyanAr happily welcomed Him. Gave enough cloths to change the wet cloths for Him who does not wear anything. He gave to that refuge giving Lord a nice place to relax. With the enthusiasm to host the devotee he asked his equally devotional wife what can they do to quench the hunger of the sage. He was worried that it was not so bad that they did not have food for themselves but they had to serve somehow the devotee of Lord nice food. His loving wife replied that there is nobody in the village who would lend something for them and the time was also quite late in the night, but suggested that if he could bring the rice grain seeds that they sewed in the noon, she could make food out of that. For the farmers the grain seeds that are kept seperate for growing next time are very valuable and whatever comes they do not consume that grains. But for this excellent devotee this suggestion appeared to be a great gift as he was more worried about how to feed the devotee.

In that darkness and rain only his love for the Lord showing the way he went to the fields. The whole village all the creatures were sleeping. The rain poured in torents. Visibility was very less. But nothing shook the determination of the devotee. Sensing the path through his legs he went inside the farm land. He gathered the seeds that had been pushed to the corners by the rain along with the mud. He filled the basket he had brought and rushed back. His wife washed the mud off from the seeds. To cook the food there was no fire wood. That great man who had cut down the strong beam of ego cut the wooden beam of his house to burn ! After cooking the rice, that chaste wife worried what could she do for the side dish. He went immediately to the land where spinach is cultivated. He plucked the plants like plucking out the plant of pAcham . She cooked different varieties of dishes out of that spinach, showed them to her husband. They decided to wake up the devotee, who is beyond th ereach of thoughts, for having food.

"Please bless me my Lord, by having this simple food that we made out of the love", they saluted Him. To the surprise of the great servant and his matched wife, He arose as the flame of beautiful light. For those devotees who were shocked by that Light, which was unexplorable for vishNu and brahma , the Doer of good, the shankara appeared blissfully on the Holy Bull with the pretty plaited parvati . He blessed them, "Oh loving minds! You who worshipped the devotees come to our great world to live blissfully with the lord of wealth serving you". Salutations to that shiva who is above all. Let the determined service of the n^AyanAr for the devotees stay in the mind.

Periyapuranam - iyarpakai nAyanAr

One of the ancient cities of the world which was the capital of the early chOza kings, the city in which the river kAvEri enters into the sea, that famous town was called kAvirippUmpattinam or pukAr . That being the capital on the shore was a very big trade center.

The leading businessman of that town, owner of boundless properties, but slave for the people who do true slavery to the crescent ornated God with matted hair, who never says "no" to the devotees who asked for something but gives much before they ask for, called iyarpakaiyAr (contradictor to the normal behavior (of the world)). While iyarpakaiyAr was leading the married life serving the Lord, God came in the form of a devotee who chants the holy vEdas in order to exhibit that the dedication of iyarpakaiyAr never derails. With a face like the blossomed lotus he gave Him a warm welcome. He told iyarpakaiyAr that if he is ready to give whatever he is going to ask for He will tell what He wants. Immediately iyarpakaiyAr replied, "If I have anything that you ask for, that is yours. No doubt in it. Please ask". The Lord who had concealed Himself in the form of devotee asked for his wife.

iyarpakaiyAr replied, "I am glad that I have the thing you asked for" He told his wife, who was the form of chaste and had a never downgoing love for her husband, that he gave her to the devotee. She was petrified with shock. She was worried but consoled herself and told him, "If that be your wish I consider that as my duty" and bowed down. iyarpakaiyAr admiring her love and chaste heart bowed down in responce. She excelled anything else by her deed.

iyarpakaiyAr bowed to the Lord and asked what else he can do for Him. The Lord asked him to escort Him (!) so that He is not attacked by His relatives. nAyanAr told I should have done it even before you told me. He took his sword and shield and went with the devotee and his wife like the royal lion that goes out for hunting. The relatives of iyarpakaiyAr and his wife were irked by the act of iyarpakaiyAr and decided "iyarpakai has become crazy and somebody is taking away the girl. We won't allow it to happen". They all set out with their weapons and besieged them in the outskirts of the town. The Lord shivered as if He was scared, but the girl of great deed said, "Don't worry, iyarpakai will win". iyarpakaiyAr warned them to run away and get spared. But they scolded him for bringing bad name to the entire family by sending his wife with a third person. They tried to attack the God in the devotee form. Angered by their intention to attack the devotee iyarpakaiyAr raised his sword against his own relatives and the entire group was killed by him and he, whose head had the crown of the holy feet od Lord shiva, went around without anybody to oppose.

iyarpakaiyAr told the devotee that there is no need to be afraid. The chaste hearted lady and he followed the holy feet of the Lord which were unseen by even brahma and vishNu. As they aaproached the place chAykkAdu , He told iyarpakaiyAr to return. nAyanAr bowed down and returned without turning back. The Lord pleased by his true devotion shouted loud, "Oh! iyarpakai, who did the deed which is unimaginable ! come immediately!!". iyarpakaiyAr rushed back in a moment to see if anybody else escaped and give trouble to the devotee. He didn't see the devotee and saw only the lady. He saw the Lord shiva who and whose devotees are of greatness which is beyond the limit of expression. The Lord appeared on the Holy bull with pArvati like a creeper of maragatham to His side. nAyanAr didn't stand, fell down and praised that Honey with the words the competes with his love. The Lord told, "Your love is faultless and so are you. You and your flawless wife stay in our abode". With the flower rain of dEvas, praise of all good thinking sages, they both got the boon of staying with and worshipping the God of Lords. Their relatives also entered the Heaven. Let the fame of iyarpakaiyAr of giving away even the wife, who is in fact more than one's own life stay in the mind.

Periyapuranam - thirunIlakaNta nAyanAr

Transcending the beginning and end the dance the Lord plays in the Golden hall of thillai (chitambaram) with the mother of the universe witnessing it, to that feet of the master of marvelous unique dance had his mind always this devotee. He was always keen on serving the devotees. Never did he lean towards contradicting his words; Had been keeping the hara always in the lotus seat of his heart; followed the discipline of married life that is intended for humble service.

His profession was making pots and clay items. Hence his service was to provide clay bowls to whoever bows down the pinAka bow shouldered Lord shiva. He being the place of all good qualities, there appeared a small black spot. His young feelings led him once to a lady whose work is to give bodily pleasure. His better half was a very beautiful lady with the heart more beautiful than that and had the most beautiful Lord in that heart. With the entire heart going upbeat in the feeling of ecstasy she will chant thirun^IlakaNtam - one name of the Lord who got a spotted throat by taking the poison that rose to destroy the entire universe. What can the poison do to Him ? He is not an ordinary creature to get destroyed by the poison. Even the spot cannot appear, but probably He had it to indicate to us that He is there to rescue when we are in trouble.

She was unhappy with him for his deed. She did all the responsibilities of the wife but didn't allow him to be with her. To bring down her resentment he went with sweet words and tried to hug her. She said immediately, "If you touch us(me) ! thirunIlakaNtam !" (The thamiz word emmai means "us" but she used it to mean "me"). At the same moment of hearing her pledge on the name of Lord that great man whisked off his hands away from her. The immense respect he had for the Hero who burnt the lust made him say with determination, "As you said "us" (emmai) I won't even touch in dreams any females". It is the quality of the people who stand for their principles that if they do mistake once and realize it they never do that again, they will in fact become more strong in their principles. Hence they stand supreme in the history. The couple of wonderful determination and self control did the duties of the married life, but abstained from the base feeling of sex. They never revealed it to others - the ideal couple. It could be easier to conquer the world, but it is more difficult to conquer the senses and the toughest in presence of the charming spouse. Given that the person had a great amount of desire for that in the past that led him even outside, how difficult it would be to conquer ! He did conquer that for the Name of God and there he stands grand for even the sages, who conquered the senses by practice, to look up to !

The years rolled down and not their determination, even the rocks could have changed in their stability, but they stood by their oath. With their appearance, beauty and charm disappearing they became old, but held strongly the Oldest feet of Lord in their heart. To exhibit to the world the path that should be followed as the way of salvation the Scholar who taught sitting beneath the banyan tree, stood in the form of a sage in front of nAyanAr's house. Welcoming and worshipping the devotee, nAyanAr asked in humble words what order the sage had for him. The shankara who came stealthily as sage gave the clay bowl in His hand to the humble nAyanAr and asked him to preserve it till the time He asks for it, as it was a rare bowl, He claimed. The servant of devotees took it and kept in a secured place.

The Robber who robs away the rotten pAcham from pachus removed the bowl from that place and reached at the devotees house after a lot of days. The truthful slave of God shocked to find out that the bowl disappeared from the specified place, searched the entire place with shivering heart, but couldn't get it. By then Immortal who witnesses the innumerable creation destruction cycle of the universe, shouted as if He was impatient to make it fast. The devotee begged for pardon to forgive the loss of the bowl and was ready to give a real nice new bowl instead of that old one. But the Giver of liberation asked for the same bowl that he had given and refused to accept even if he would give a golden bowl. As he was not able to give He charged him to be cheating. That devotee pleaded Him to trust his honesty. The sage said if he takes a dip in the pond holding the hand of his son He would believe. nAyanAr told him that he did not have any offspring. When the sage asked him to have a dip holding his wife's hand he replied humbly that due to a pledge he was not ready to do that. Acting as if angered the Graceful went to the court of the priests of thillai . "It was true that the sage gave the bowl but I am really ignorant of where it disappeared", said the man of immense integrity. The court upheld the argument of the sage that nAyanAr should have a dip in the pond holding his wife's hand.

Without breaking the secret of not touching his wife to the court, he came with her to the pond of the thiruppulIchcharam (temple of chithambaram ), the abode of the Lord with inseparable shakti . Each holding one end of the same bamboo, that sinless said the secret behind his not touching his wife and his deed behind that to the entire people present there and went into the water. The couple who raised from the water after the dip appeared to the astonishment of all as young as one could covet and at the same time found the disappearance of the Lord who came in the form of sage. There appeared the Lord in the horizon on the holy Bull with the consort to bless the hailing devotee, "You both are very great due to your victory over the five senses. You be with me in bliss without an end to this youth". That marvelous man and his worth praising wife lived in the youth that was excelling with the service to the Lord at His abode than it could have been in this mortal world. No doubt, pattin'ththAr laments, "I am not as great as the devotee who sacrificed his youth for the pledge of his wife". Let the respect thirun^IlakaNta n^AyanAr gave to the name of the Lord and the determination he had in standing by the principle stay in the mind.
