Dear BhakthAs of

SrI Raamachandra!

Today , we will enjoy the moving krithi of Saint ThyagarAjA on the Naama Kusuma anjali to SrI Raamachandran set in SrI Raagam and dEsAdhi Taalam . It has been pointed out by our AchAryaas like Swamy AaLavanthAr that the folded hands (anjali and anjali bhaddha hastham of a Bhakthan ) melts the heart of the Lord and He forgets about all the aparAdhams done by the Jeevan earlier. When Naama Kusuma Anjali is added , then the unfettered DayA of the Lord breaks all bounds and immerses us instantly in the nectar of the enjoyment of His Dhivya MangaLa Vigraham and DhivyAthma Svaroopam. That is the power of Naama KusumAnjali celebrated by ThyAgarAja SwamigaL. Pallavi ******** Naama-kusumamulachE poojinchE nara-janmamE janmamu manasaa (meaning): Oh my mind ! That Saadhakan's life alone is life , who performs aarAdhanam to the Lord through the offer of nAma kusumAs ( flowers of His dhivya NaamAs) That nara janmam alone reciting the Lord's thousand names is worthy of salutation.Rest of the nara janmams are just wasted lives not worthy of paying attention. That nara janmam alone is worthy of recognition and the rest are vyartha janmams ( futile and worthless births). Anupallavi *********** Sreeman-mAnasa kanaka peetamuna chelaga jesikoni vara Siva Raama (Naama Kusuma) (meaning): Oh my mind! That Saadhakan's life alone

is life , who worships and adores RaamA enshrined on the golden throne of his own really auspicious mind. As a human birth , that Saadhakan's life devoted to the aarAdhanam of the Lord seated on the Golden throne of his blessed mind is the most exemplary one to follow by the rest. Siva here stands for auspiciousness of Raama Naamam. CharaNam ********* naadhasvaramanu varanavarathnapu vEdhikapi sakala leelA-vinOdhuni nOdhuni , ParamAthmuni , SrIrAmuni paadhamulanu , ThyagarAja-hrudhbhUshaNanuni (Naama KusumamulachE poojimchE) (Meaning): Oh my Mind! That blessed Saadhakan's life alone is the most precious , who worships the sacred feet of that Supreme Being with the flowers of His naamAs. Such a blessed one , who makes those nAmA-floral offerings (samarpaNams) at the feet of RaamA , the Supreme One , is the one with the most blessed life. Such a fortunate Saadhakan places the Lord , who is the reveller of His leelas such as the creation and sustenance of the universe on the gem-bedecked throne of his heart made up of saptha svarAs born out of Naadha. That reveller in the sport of the universe is the jewel adorning the heart of ThyagarAja. The imagery that ThyAgarAja SwamigaL brings to bear in this moving keerthanam is matchless. He visualizes the splenderous saptha svarAs to the dazzling nava rathnams forming the radiant throne found in His heart , where the Lord of AyOdhya , the Supreme One , is seated recieving the Naama KusumAnjali. ThyAgarAja compares the nAmAs of the Lord to flowers (KusumAs). Even the most fresh flowers will fade and lose their fragrance over time , but not the nAma kusumAs. The nAmAs of the Lord uttered with vaathsalyam will fall at His sacred feet as He sits on the throne inside the BhakthA's heart and the fragrance of the Naama KusumAs will be enhanced through contact with the Lord's auspicious feet. Here , ThyagarAja SwamigaL has an intimate conversation with his mind (Maanasa sambhAshanam) and says that a human life devoted to aarAdhanam of the Lord through archanaa consisting of the flowers of the Lord's names is the only one worthy of celebration and emulation. In the anupallavi, SwaamigaL uses a phrase , " SrIman-mAnAsa " to refer to the loftiness of the Mind that is fortunate to have Raama seated on the golden throne recieving Naama KusumAnjali from His blessed bhakthan . SrImad Sabdham is usually added to sacred and auspicious entities (e.g)., SrImad RaamAyaNam . This manas is no ordinary manas but "SrImanmanas" says ThyagarAja SwamigaL . The loftines of Maanasa aarAdhanam and MaanasIka Bhakthi is covered by Swaamigal here. SrImad Gaambheeryam ( the auspicous majesty ) of SrI Raagam is the apt one for such a noble krithi of SwamigaL. We might recall that the great Pancharathna Krithi of "YentharO MahAnubhAvulu " was set in the same SrI Raagam by ThyAgarAja SwamigaL .
