Guruguhaaya - Ragam sama - Thalam - adi



Theppam at Thiruththani


This is the fourth vibhakthi krithi of Dikshithar on Lord Subrahmanya, the presiding deity of the
temple at ThiruttaNi.

Pallavi:=

Guruguhaaya bhakthaanugrahaaya kumaaraaya namo namasthe:=I prostrate again and again Lord Guruguha who readily fulfils the prayers of His devotees and who is famous for His youthful form.

Anupallavi:=

Guruguhaaya bhakthaanugrahaaya gunaatheethaaya ruparahithaaya:= Guruguha the great preceptor who is the benefactor of the devotees has transcended the three gunas,viz. sathva, rajas,and thamas as He is the Paramaathma. He is formless. He is pure consciousness.

Hari hara virinchi rupaaya,Sachidaananda swaroopaaya shivaaya:=He manifests in the forms of Hari, Hara and Brahma. His nature is sat, chit, Aananda. He is ever auspicious.

Charanam:=

Sakala agama manthra saaragnaaya:= He knows the purport of all aagamaas and manthraas.

Sat sampradaaya sarvagnaaya:= He is well versed in the path of righteousness.

Sakala nishkala prakaasakaaya:= He is manifest in the world as many, sentient and insentient and He is the pure consciousness on which the world is superimposed.

Saamarasya sampradaayakaaya:= The union of shakthi tathva with sadaashiva tathva leads to the blissful experince of the samara saadaakya sampradaya which is possible only when the kundalini shakthi reaches sahasraara chakra. Guruguha is the bestower of such experience to the saadhaka.

Madhyama kaala:=

Vikalebhara kaivalya daanaya:= Guruguha is the giver of videha mukthi for the sadakaas or aspirants who have become jeevanmukthaas. As a srividya upasaka Dikshithar experienced this.

Vikalpaheenaya vignaanaaya:= When one realizes the pure consciousness stage all the confusions regarding the world and ego vanish whereas Guruguha's very nature is that.

Shukha vaamadeva vanditha padaaya:=Sage Shukha is known as sukhabrahmam. There is a story extolling the nature of shukha. Once, when he was passing a river wherein young girls were bathing, even though the girls noticed him they never felt shy about his presence. Afterwards when Vyasa Bhagavan was passing by the same river the girls felt shy and searched for their clothes. When enquired by Vyasa the girls said sage shukha perceived the world as brahman and for him every thing was brahman. The unsullied notion of shukha was felt by the girls and they did not feel as though they were in the presence of a male member. Vamadeva,according to skanda purana was directly instructed by Guruguha on the secret of pranava manthra as the Lord was pleased with his sadhana in his search for brahman.

Shukha vamadeva mukthi pradaaya:= Guruguha bestowed mukthi on Shukha and Vamadeva.
