Andal in Vraj 24

 

08-01-25 | Krishna Leela , Gopika , Tiruppavai , Dashavatara

Andal now sings the glories of Krishna. There are six qualities which are in Him, which make Him Bhagavan. 

1. O’Krishna! Glories to your feet (as Vamana) which straddled the entire earth!
    
2. Rama! you’ve walked all the way to Lanka for the sake of Sita. How much pain your legs must have borne!! Glories to your feet!
    
3. O’ Krishna! Your soft little feet kicked an asura in the form of a cart and broke it into pieces. Glories to those feet! 
    
4. O’ Lord (Balarama)! You threw the asura calf as a stick to bring down another asura in the form of a wood apple tree — Glories to your feet! (as it was the slight bend of feet which gave more momentum to hit the tree). 
    
5. O’ Krishna! You held the Goverdhan standing on your feet for seven days, to protect your devotees. Glories to such quality of protecting your devotees! 
    
6. O’ krishna! Glory to your thejas! Your Sudarshana chakra always protects us from all harm.
7. 
   
   
   
   

Andal in Vraj 03 - The glory of Vamana

 Andal hails the glory of Vamana who curbed the pride of Mahabali. 
The vow of austerities when complete will bring in bountiful rains.  She also commends the services of the  graceful gurus.

The Story of Vamana

Vamana

Bhagiratha's mighty penance was instrumental in bringing down the heavenly river Ganga. Krishna, as Vamana the dwarf, takes a majestic form and raises his second step to the skies to humble Mahabali. On this occasion, Brahma, on a lotus chariot drawn by swans, washes Krishna's feet which becomes the Ganga (Brahma kadigina Padamu). Siva prepares himself standing atop the Himalayas, untying His locks of matter hair, to contain the force of Ganga on his head. Swamy Desikan, depicts this in his Shloka Dehalisa Stuthi, his observation on the stars in the sky. First it becomes the garland on Vamana's neck, when He grows bigger it becomes the girdle and finally it is just an anklet for His leg. This glorious spectacle, happens in a matter of seconds, where all the three manifestations of Krishna come together for the benefit of humanity.
