Śrī Aruṇācala Navamaṇimālai - The Necklace of Nine Gems for Arunachala,  Verse 1

🕉️ 

 acalaṉē yāyiṉu maccavai taṉṉi lacalaiyā mammaiyedi rāḍu — macala vuruvilac catti yoḍuṅgiḍa vōṅgu maruṇā calameṉ ḏṟaṟi.

Padacchēdam (words rearranged in natural prose order): acalaṉē āyiṉum, a-c-savai taṉṉil acalai ām ammai edir āḍum. acala uruvil a-c-satti oḍuṅgiḍa, ōṅgum aruṇācalam eṉḏṟu aṟi.

English translation:

Though actually one who is motionless, in that assembly hall he dances opposite mother, who is acalā. Know that when that śakti subsides back in the motionless form, Aruṇācalam is exalted.

Explanatory paraphrase:

Though [Lord Siva is] actually acalaṉ [one who is motionless, being the one immutable ground from which and in which everything else appears], in that assembly hall [of Cidambaram] he dances [in the form of Nataraja] opposite [the divine] mother, who is acalā [the consort of acalaṉ]. Know that when that śakti [the divine mother] subsides back in the motionless form [the fundamental form of Lord Siva], Aruṇācalam is exalted [that is, in the motionless form of Aruṇācalam, which rises high above all his other forms, Lord Siva shines exalted in his natural state].

Note : 

The word Achalan means the motionless one and is a name of Lord Siva which is used to denote the fact that He is the immutable, Supreme Reality. The word Achalai means the consort of Achalan and is a name of Sakti, the Divine Mother.

Though He is motionless by nature, in Chidambaram Lord Siva had to dance in front of Sakti in order to bring Her frenzied dance to an end. But in the form of Arunachala Lord Siva remains ever motionless, and thus by the power of His mere stillness Sakti was irresistably attracted to Him and with great love she subsided in Him and became one with Him. Hence of all the forms of Lord Siva, Arunachala shines as the most exalted.

The words ‘ongum Arunachalam’ means ‘rises high’ or rises above others, and hence the words ‘ongum Arunachalam endru ari’ (know that He shines exalted as Arunachala) may also be taken to mean, know that Arunachala is superior (to Chidambaram)!

#Hindu festival

[shinymoonbird]

Sri Ramanasramam - Templo Matrubhuteswara - O Senhor Shiva dança na forma de Nataraja, em frente da Mãe Divina, Shakti Devi.

Arudra Darshanam é o festival que celebra a manifestação do Senhor Shiva como Nataraja, o Senhor da Dança Cósmica. É comemorado na noite de lua cheia do mês Margazhi do Calendário Tâmil, no dia em que coincidem a Lua Nova e a estrela Arudra -thiruvadhirai nakshathram- ou estrela do Senhor Shiva (Rudra). No Sri Ramanasramam, também é comemorado em grande estilo. Cerca das 4H00 de 6 de Janeiro de 2023, a imagem devovional de Nataraja no templo de Mathrubutheswara foi ungida e decorada com flores. Seguiu-se o canto de versos em louvor a Nataraja e o Aarthi...

SRI ARUNACHALA NAVAMANIMALAI - O COLAR DE NOVE GEMAS PRECIOSAS PARA ARUNACHALA, VERSÍCULO 1

acalaṉē yāyiṉu maccavai taṉṉi lacalaiyā mammaiyedi rāḍu — macala vuruvilac catti yoḍuṅgiḍa vōṅgu maruṇā calameṉ ḏṟaṟi.

Padacchēdam (separação das palavras): acalaṉē āyiṉum, a-c-savai taṉṉil acalai ām ammai edir āḍum. acala uruvil a-c-satti oḍuṅgiḍa, ōṅgum aruṇācalam eṉḏṟu aṟi.

Embora na verdade um que está imóvel, naquele salão de assembleia ele dança em frente da mãe, que é acalā. Saiba que quando essa śakti volta à forma imóvel, Aruṇācalam é exaltada.

Paráfrase explicativa:

Embora [o Senhor Shiva seja] na verdade acalaṉ [aquele que está imóvel, sendo o único fundamento imutável do qual e no qual tudo o mais aparece], naquele salão de assembleia de Chidambaram ele dança na forma de Nataraja em frente da divina mãe, que é acalā [a consorte de acalaṉ]. Saiba que quando essa śakti [a mãe divina] desaparece na forma imóvel [a forma fundamental do Senhor Shiva], Aruṇācalam é glorificada [isto é, na forma imóvel de Aruṇācalam, que se eleva acima de todas as suas outras formas, o Senhor Shiva brilha glorificado em seu estado natural].

Nota:

A palavra Achalan significa o imóvel e é um nome do Senhor Siva, que é usado para denotar o facto de que Ele é a imutável Realidade Suprema. A palavra Achala significa a consorte de Achalan e é um nome de Shakti, a Mãe Divina. Embora Ele seja imóvel por natureza, em Chidambaram o Senhor Shiva teve que dançar na frente de Shakti para trazer a dança frenética de Shakti a um fim. Mas, na forma de Arunachala, o Senhor Shiva permanece sempre imóvel, e assim pelo poder da Sua mera quietude, Shakti foi irresistivelmente atraída por Ele e com muito amor ela se acalmou Nele e se tornou um com ele. Assim, de todas as formas do Senhor Shiva, Arunachala brilha como a mais gloriosa.

As palavras ongum Arunachalam significam ‘eleva-se alto’ ou eleva-se acima dos outros, e, portanto, as palavras ongum Arunachalam endru ari (saiba que Ele brilha glorificado como Arunachala) também podem significar, saiba que Arunachala é superior (a Chidambaram)!

Sri Ramana Maharshi Jayanti Celebrations (2012) at Sri Ramanasramam

ॐ 

Arudra Darshanam, a festival that commemorates the manifestation of Lord Siva as Nataraja, the Lord of Cosmic Dance, was being celebrated with great ardor in the Bhuminatha temple  in Tiruchuzhi, South India, on December 29, 1879. 

The decorated icon of Lord Siva was ceremoniously carried in procession through the streets during the day and late into the night. 

Just as the Deity re-entered the temple past midnight on December 30th at 1:00AM, the first cry of a baby boy was heard in a house adjacent to the temple.

The fortunate parents were Sundaram Iyer and his wife Alagammal. The newborn child received the name Venkataraman and was later known as Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. As the child was being born, a lady with poor eye-sight exclaimed that the new born was enveloped in light.

OM Namo Bhagavate Sri Ramanaya!!!

Arudra Darshanam, um festival que comemora a manifestação do Senhor Shiva como Nataraja, o Senhor da Dança Cósmica, estava a ser celebrado com grande ardor no templo Bhuminatha em Tiruchuzhi, no sul da Índia, em 29 de Dezembro de 1879.

O ícone decorado do Senhor Shiva foi levado em procissão de forma cerimonial pelas ruas durante o dia e até tarde da noite.

Assim que a Divindade voltou a entrar no templo depois da meia-noite, já no dia 30 de Dezembro à 1h da manhã, o primeiro grito de um bebé foi ouvido numa casa contígua ao templo.

Os pais afortunados eram Sundaram Iyer e sua esposa Alagammal. O recém nascido recebeu o nome de Venkataraman e mais tarde foi conhecido como Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. Naqueles momentos do seu nascimento, uma senhora com visão escassa exclamou que o recém-nascido estava envolto em luz.

The Life of Sri Ramana Maharshi  (Part I)

Excerpts from "Bhagavan Ramana"   A Life Time-line

THE Scriptures tell us that it is as difficult to trace the path a sage pursues, as it is to draw a line marking the course a bird takes in the air while on its wings. Most humans must be content with a slow and laborious journey towards the goal. But a few are born adepts, flying non-stop to the common home of all beings: The Supreme Self. Mankind takes heart when such a sage appears, and though unable to keep pace with him, feels uplifted by his presence and has a foretaste of the felicity before which worldly pleasures pale into nothing. Countless people who went to Tiruvannamalai during the lifetime of Maharshi Sri Ramana had this experience. They saw in him a sage without the least touch of worldliness, a saint of matchless purity, a witness to the eternal truth of Vedanta. It is not often that a spiritual genius of Sri Ramana's magnitude visits this earth. But when such an event occurs, all humanity benefits and a new era of hope opens before it.

Birth

About thirty miles south of Madurai is a village — Tiruchuli by name — with an ancient Siva temple — Thirumeninathar temple, also called Boominathar temple or Tiruchuli temple — about which two great Tamiḷ saints, Sundaramurti and Manikkavacakar, have sung. In this sacred village there lived in the latter part of the nineteenth century an uncertified pleader, Sundaram Aiyar with his wife Alagammal. Piety, devotion and charity characterised this ideal couple. Sundaram Aiyar was generous even beyond his means. Alagammal was an ideal Hindu wife. On the 30th of December 1879, to them was born Venkataraman — who later came to be known to the world as Ramana Maharshi.

It was an auspicious day for Hindus, the Ardradarsanam day. On this day every year the image of the Dancing Siva, Nataraja, is taken out of the temples in procession to celebrate the divine grace of the Lord who made His appearance before such saints as Gautama, Patanjali, Vyaghrapada, and Manikkavacakar. In the year 1879, on the Ardra day, the Nataraja Image of the temple at Tiruchuli was taken out with all the attendant ceremonies — and just as it was about to re-enter, Venkataraman was born.

SAT Temple -  Arudra Darshanam

Early Years

There was nothing markedly distinctive about Venkataraman's early life. He grew up just an average boy. He was sent to an elementary school in Tiruchuli, and then for a year's education to a school in Dindigul. His father died when he was twelve years old. This necessitated moving to Madurai with the family to live with his paternal uncle, Subbaiyar. There he was sent to Scott's Middle School and then to the American Mission High School. He was not at all serious about his studies, an indifferent student. But as he was a healthy and strong lad, his schoolmates and other companions were afraid of his strength. Any time some of them had any grievance against him, they would dare play pranks with him only when he was asleep. In this extremely deep sleep, he was rather unusual: he would not know of anything that happened to him during sleep. He would be carried away or even beaten without his waking up in the process.

A Vida De Sri Ramana Maharshi  (Parte I)

Excerto de “Bhagavan Ramana”; A Life Time-line (Uma Linha do Tempo da Vida)

As Escrituras nos dizem que é tão difícil traçar o caminho que um sábio segue, quanto traçar uma linha marcando o curso que um pássaro faz no ar, ao voar sobre as suas asas. A maioria dos humanos tem de contentar-se com uma jornada lenta e trabalhosa em direção ao objetivo. Mas alguns são adeptos natos, voando sem parar para o lar comum de todos os seres: O Ser Supremo. A humanidade se reanima quando tal sábio aparece e, embora incapaz de acompanhar o ritmo dele, sente-se elevada e abençoada pela sua presença e tem um antegosto da felicidade diante da qual os prazeres mundanos se transformam em nada. Um número incontável de pessoas que foram a Tiruvannamalai durante a vida de Maharshi Sri Ramana teve essa experiência. Elas viram nele um sábio sem o menor toque de mundanismo, um santo de pureza incomparável, uma testemunha da verdade eterna do Vedanta. Não é muitas vezes que um génio espiritual da magnitude de Sri Ramana visita esta terra. Mas quando tal evento ocorre, toda a humanidade se beneficia e uma nova era de esperança se abre diante dela.

Nascimento

A cerca de trinta milhas (52 Km) ao sul de Madurai encontra-se uma vila - de nome Tiruchuli - com um antigo templo dedicado a Shiva  — Templo Thirumeninathar, também chamado Templo Boominathar, ou Templo Tiruchuli  —  sobre o qual dois grandes santos Tamis cantaram, Sundaramurti e Manikkavacakar. Nesta vila sagrada, viveu na última parte do século XIX um advogado não certificado, Sundaram Aiyar, com sua esposa Alagammal. Piedade, devoção e caridade caracterizaram este casal ideal. Sundaram Aiyar foi generoso além das suas possibilidades. Alagammal era uma esposa Hindu ideal. No dia 30 de Dezembro de 1879 nasceu o filho deles, Venkataraman - que mais tarde veio a ser conhecido no mundo como Ramana Maharshi.

Foi num dia que é auspicioso para os Hindus, o dia de Ardradarsanam. Nesse dia, todos os anos, a imagem do Shiva Dançante, Nataraja, é retirada dos templos saindo em procissão para celebrar a graça divina do Senhor que apareceu diante de santos como Gautama, Patanjali, Vyaghrapada e Manikkavacakar. No ano de 1879, no dia de Ardra, a imagem de Nataraja do templo em Tiruchuli foi levada em procissão com todas as cerimónias inerentes - e quando estava prestes a entrar no templo novamente, Venkataraman nasceu.

SAT Temple -  Arudra Darshanam

Primeiros anos

Não havia nada de marcadamente distinto na juventude de Venkataraman. Cresceu como um menino normal. Frequentou uma escola primária em Tiruchuli e, em seguida, estudou durante um ano numa escola em Dindigul. O seu pai faleceu quando ele tinha 12 anos. Isso exigiu a mudança para Madurai com a família, para morar com o seu tio paterno, Subbaiyar. Lá, ele foi enviado para a Scott's Middle School e depois para a American Mission High School. Ele não levava os seus estudos a sério, era um aluno indiferente. Mas como era um rapaz forte e saudável, os seus colegas de escola e outros companheiros temiam a sua força. Quando tinham alguma queixa contra ele, só ousavam pregar-lhe alguma partida quando ele estivesse a dormir. Nesse sono extremamente profundo, ele era bastante incomum: não se apercebia de nada que acontecesse com ele durante o sono. Levavam-no, ou até lhe batiam, sem que ele acordasse durante o processo.
