Pasuram for acquiring good Knowledge

For acquiring any knowledge we need concentration. If we started to concentrate on acquiring divine knowledge then the academic knowledge is very easy observe and analyse. In ThiruvAimozhi first centum 10th decade’s first pasuram itself Azhwar say i am concentrating on the emperumaan who has grown sky high, then continues that after concentrating on emperumaan and getting him in his heart nothing is impossible for him.

Then in last pasuram which states the phalan we get through these pasurams, azhwar declares those who recites this pasuram with concentration will be blessed with all knowledges.

So students (even others too) please start reciting these precious verses and be blessed from the Lord to get both divine knowledge and academic knowledge where latter gives success in your education career and former for reaching the our Lord himself.

(Pasurams marked as ## should be recited twice)

“My Emeprumaan- The Blue hued Dark Emerald, Vaamanan who grew SKY HIGH and whose Feet were paid obeisance by everyone in Seven lOkAs; who has the Great, strong, Famous sanghu (Divine Conch) and chakrA (Divine Discuss); – Such Emperumaan is in MY EYES; (means He has become the object of my eyes)”

“The Earth, Water, Fire, Fresh Air, Space (AagAyam), – Emeprumaan takes the form of these five elements- (If I prostarte to Him with Bhakti, then He will make me see Him standing in front of my eyes; and by thinking of Him in my mind He will stand in front of me; What Else Do I need?”

“Oh (my) foolish mind! To my bhagawaan- not only mine, (but) also of my father and all ancestors before him; To such Emperumaan- who has the eyes identical to cool, lotus flowers, -who has the beloved piraatti MahA lakshmi,  having the soft, beautiful waist similar to the creeper,- pay obeisance to Him;”

“Oh (my) mind! You are really beneficial; If I have as my friend, then what can I not do? I can do and finish anything. What other grievance do I have? No grievances absolutely. The Youthful Lord, The Beloved Lord of Maha Lakshmi . even if I separate myself from Him; you continue with Him;”

“Oh (my) mind! You also have realised the Emperumaan . the One who had swallowed the Seven lOkas; who had measured the three worlds with just three measurements of His small(!) Feet; – Now when thing are materialising (when we are blessed by His mercy), can you see it is happening even without our thinking about it? (dearest sisters and brothers, I guess, Azhwar has already started seeing the Emperumaan, by now and he is excited!)

“Oh (my) mind! If you and I continue to stand (firm) like this and follow without separating ourselves from Emperumaan, then the One who has taken the avatars as the father and mother in this world, the One who is dark blue hued colour, will never let any disease come anyway near us; It is CERTAIN.”

“The Lord- who is thought of as ” My Father! My Emperumaan!” by dEvAs, – To such Lord even I- the Biggest Sinner- will also praise Him as “My Father!” And “My Emperumaan!” with my mouth (talking) and think of Him;”

“The moment I hear “Sriman NarayaNan”, tears start falling down from my eyes; and I start searching for Him; (Looks like, now Sri Hari has disappeared from AzhwAr’s vision!) This is a wonder! (Because) The One who is full of Grand Good kalyANa GuNAs, during the day and the night as well (at all times) is merciful towards me and believes that I am His servant and is not leaving me.”

Due to what reason can I forget?)”

“Even after realising that I do not know the way of forgetting(like last pAsuram) and then knowing Him, He still thinks that this guy will ultimately forget me and decides to stay with me as my Blue Pearl, my Emperumaan . Of such Emperumaan . will I ever be able to forget Him? (Never)”

“The One who shines like The Blue Pearl; The Chief of dEvAs; He himself, an ornament for Him;- About Him, SadagOpan, born in Thirukkurugoor, through his words of these ten pAsurams out of 1000 pAsurams offered his kainkaryam to the Lord; If one learns these ten pAsurams with fullest concentration, (and does not get satisfied with his learning), then they will get Great knowledge (jnAnam)”
