WHAT IS SAARRUMURAI ?
WHAT IS SAARRUMURAI ?****************************
SaaRRu MuRai stands for SaaRRum ( pORRum ) MuRai , the time honored
and traditional way ( muRai/kramam/sequence ) of standing before
the SarvEswaran to express our aakinchanyam , ananyagathithvam and
eulogize Him as the Lord of the Universe and seek Kaimkarya PrApthi
as ANDAL showed us the way in Her " SiRRam SiRukAlE vanthunnai sEvitthu "
Paasuram . She says there " UnakkE Naam Aat cheyvOm , MaRRai namm
KaamngaL mARRElO YempAvAi " . She reminds the Lord of the Uravu
to Him and wiht that urimai asks for Kaimkarya BhAgyam . The SaaRRumuRai
ends with the Phala Sruthi ThiruppAvai Paasuram : " Vangak-Kadal Kadaintha "
.
This is the time honored SaaRRum ( pORRum ) MuRai .
We seek from Him the blessings of uninterrupted Kaimkarya PrApthi
to Him during this dEha Yaathrai and remind Him that we will not
serve anyone but Him at any time . SaaRRum means SaaRRuvathu or
stating some thing in a formal and time honored manner established by
AzhwArs and AchAryAs .
These SaaRRumuRais can be short or long . When it is a long SaaRRumuRai ,
it contains excerpts from Vedam , PurANam and Dhivya Prabhandham and
concludes with the Vaazhi ThirunAmams particular to a specific AchArya
Paramparai .
The inner Meaning of SaaRRumuRai/SevA Kaalam
****************************************************
It is all about Tatthva-Hitha-PurushArTam as revealed by
the Rahasya Thrayams .
We believe that Sriman NaarAyaNa is Para Tatthvam (Supreme Tatthvam).
We believe that holding on to His sacred feet as rakshaNam is
Parama Hitham .
We believe that the performance of Prapatthi at His Sacred feet and travel
at the end of the earthly life via archirAdhi mArgam to Sri Vaikuntam and
joining with the GhOshtio of Nithya Sooris /MukthAs and AchAryAs to perform
blemishless Kaimkaryam to the Dhivya Dampathis and enjoying BrahmAnandham
THERE on a par with the Lord as PARAMA PURUSHARTAM .
The Three MahA Manthrams (AshtAksharam , Dhvayam and Charama slOkam )
reveal to us succinctly the triad of Tatthva-Hitha-PurushArTams.
The VedAs , Upanishads , IthihAsams , PurANAs , Geethai , Brahma
Soothrams and Dhivya Prabhandhams elaborate on the condensed
meanings of the above Rahasya Thrayams .
In one sampradhAyam , Sri BhAshyam , GeethA BhAshyam , Srimath
Rahasya Thraya Saaram and Bhagavath Vishayam are considered as
the Grantha Chathushtayam to be learnt at the sacred feet of SadAchAryAs
thru UpadEsa/KaalakshEpa maargam .
In that spirit of gratitude for the MahOpakAram done by our AchAryAs and
for refreshing the Jn~Anam that has been bequeathed to us , we recite
the Sri Kosams of Veda Mantra DhrushtAs ( Maha Rishis) , AzhwArs and
AchAryAs .
We recite the passages from the beginning and the end of the above Sri
Kosams in front of the PraTama AchAryan ( The Aadhya Guru of the Guru
Paramparai) , Sriman Narayanan and become dhanyAs .This practise is
known as SaaRRumuRai or SevA Kaalam ".
