Remembering MahaPeriyava : तितिक्षा

Remembering MahaPeriyava
A write up series by Chandarsekharan Raman.

(Thanks to Chandru for sharing his insight of Sri MahaPeriyava through Bhagavad Gita)

In the Bhagavad Gita, when Arjuna was inflicted by extreme sorrow, Lord Krishna instructs Arjuna about the transitory nature of happiness and sorrow.

मात्रास्पर्शास्तु कौन्तेय शीतोष्णसुखदुःखदाः |

आगमापायिनोऽनित्यास्तांस्तितिक् षस्व भारत || 2-14||

O, Kaunteya (Arjuna)! The contacts of the sense organs with the sensory world that give rise to cold and heat, happiness and sorrow, which have the nature of coming and going, are not constant. Endure them, Bharata (Arjuna)!

Adi Shankaracharya, when commenting on this verse, remarks that cold (and similarly heat) could bring pleasure and pain depending on the situation. But happiness always bring pleasure and sorrow always brings pain! Even then, Lord Krishna puts them in the same category as cold and heat — (śīta, uṣṇa, sukha & duḥkha), because all of them are not permanent (anityāḥ)!

 

MahaPeriyava MahaVishnu

On Feb 13th, a young 13-year old boy took to sannyasa, to show the world that one can live according to the verse above. In His younger days, Sri Mahaperiyava walked the stretch of Bhārata Deśa, enduring the heat and cold and pleasure and pain that came along. He did it again when He was 80 years old. In fact, He walked like a teenager and not like an 80-year old! He slept under roofless huts enduing the cold. He walked under hot sun enduring the heat. Many were blessed to see the ‘Nadamadum Deivam’ in those days!

What a great example for this shloka 2-14 from the Bhagavad Gita! Let us remember the great Mahan, who lived in our times!

सकृत्स्मरण मात्रेण भवरोग विनाशके |
श्री चन्द्रशेखरपादाब्जे भासेताम् हृदि मे सदा  ||

    Adiyean is reminded of Tiruvarur Sri Kamalambika’s posture whenever one sees Sri Mahaperiyava standing like this. Can somebody explain the significance of this posture? An ordinary person cannot stand like this with so much ease!

    I only had a fleeting Dharshan of shri Mahaperiyava when I was a small boy. I saw HIM walking amidst a small group along the Thennur High Road, in Tiruchirapalli, besides a hand-pulled rikshaw. I was not fortunate to have any further Dharshan afterwards. I pray to Mahaperiyava to bless all of us.
