Naalaiyira Divya Prabhandam - Verses Starts - Periyazhwar Thirumozhi - Chapter - 7 - 
My 100th post...

This is my 100th post, started 7 years back to bring on my readings and leanings of Guru Raghavendra Swamy; Thanks to GOD and my Guru to keep going; There had been phases where I was totally off from the blog; Infact from 2017 to Nov 2019 was a long period and I have restarted this to write about Naalaiyira Divya Prabhandam, this is not for others, but more for me to read all the 4000 verses and live the life in a right way;

wanted to start with Periyazhwar Thirumozhi  pasurams; The very first verses that I heard is from him and hence wanted to start the series with this and move to other alwars.

Meaning of Verse 1:  
Years after years, and thousands and crores of years, Manivanna ( another name of Sriman Narayanan ) your strong shoulder and surrendering to your feet is the savior for all in this materialistic world

While in this materialistic world, we go to GOD to pray either for getting materialistic thing or get his blessings on us; There is a belief that Bakthi is to pray for what we want; Alternatively people will also pray for their well being, their parents, their family and their near and dear ones;
But here PeriyAzhwar says instead of saying all this, he is requesting the well being of Sriman Narayanan; so once he is doing good he will take care of the rest; He informs that if we surrender and ask if he is all and his well being is all we wanted, rest will be taken care by itself; What a belief in Bakthi

Meaning of Verse 2: 
As a devotees we pray that we are bonded and thinking of you for several crores of years; Mahalakshmi who resides on your chest continues to stay there for several crores of years and bless us all; The powerful Sudersana chakra that continues to stay in your right hand and the conch ,
Pancha chaniyam which is used during the beginning of wars continue to stay in your left hand for years and crores of years

Meaning of Verse 3: 
We all who are work shipping to reach the sacred feet of Lord Sriman Narayanan will continue to do so by following rituals and events in temple; We will never entertain to focus on materialistic things in the world; We respect continues to all seven generations and more in serving lord and no stains / disrespects attached;  We will continue to surrender the feet of Lord Sriman Narayanan who  freed Lanka people from rakshasas ;

Meaning of Verse 4: 
Before we reach the state of surrendering to Sri Narayanan's feet where there is no return to this world, we will first learn to separate atma from this mortal body; Join the devotees and spread the benefit of reciting the maha mantram OM NAMO NARAYANA to the world and pray for Lord to continue for several crores of years to protect this universe
