*********************
The moods of Bhaktha are intricately interwoven with various Sanchaari
Bhaavaas that engage the mind of the
NaadhOpaasaka these moods of a Bhakthan engaged in NaadhOpaasana this way:
1. Outhsukya or longing for the union with the Lord. This mood can
express itself as the longing for His constant company (Sannidhi
Saameepyam), Seeing Him and receiving His merciful glances (Darsana
soubhAgyam), Singing about Him (Keertanam), Listenig about His Mahima
(SravaNam), conversing with Him (SambhaashaNa) and serving Him
(SEvanam and Kaimakryam as a Daasan).
2. Nirvedam (Dejection and despondency over separation from the Lord
and not receiving His Dayaa). Out of this Vipralambha Sringhaaram
arose the Paasurams sung by Swamy NammAzhwAr (Paraankusa Naayaki),
Thirumangai Azhwaar (Parakaala Naayaki) and Andal's NaacchiyAr
Thirumozhi.
3. Athma GarahaNa and Naicyaanusandhaana (Self-depreciation and
recounting one's shortcomings and unfitness as a servant of the Lord).
4. Dhainya and DhainyOkthi (Hear rending and plaintive pleadings for
becoming the object of the Lord's Compassion).
5. Amarasha, Rosa RosOkthi (Taking the liberty in despair to express
grievance and remonstrate against the Lord's heartlessness to come to
their rescue).
6. Vitarka (cogitation and consequent development of doubt about
Lord's interest to come to their rescue).
7. Sraddha /Visvaasa (Development of steady Faith in the Lord as the
unfailing protector and thanking Him for that RakshaNam in a mood of
Mahaa Viswasam, an important angam of SaraNAgathy).
8. Narma (Playful exchanges with the Lord in a mood of close
relationship). This can take the form of Sthuthi (Praise), PrArTanaa
(Prayer), RoshOkthi (protests in playful anger) and Leela VarNanaa
(Playful descriptions of the leelaas of the Lord as a cowherd etc).
9. Sva-yOgya-KaTanaa (Letting the Lord know of the BhakthA's claims
and qualifications to stress why the Lord should prioritize His
attention).
10. BHakta Sodhana (Trails and tribulations during the spiritual journey).
11. Maanasa SambhOdhana (Exhortations to the BhakthA's mind /Nenju/
Manas to focus on the Lord).
12. Krutaj~nata and MangaLaasAsana (Ezpression of Gratitude over the
Lord's anugraham and pronouncing blessing on the Lord in a deep mood
of devotion like PeriyAzhwAr in His ThiruppallANDu).
Thus mingle Sangitham and Bhakthi in Bhagavath anubhavam of NaadhOpAsakaas.
In the Navarasa Kannada Krtihi of Saint Thyagaraja (NInnu vinaa--), we
witness the dhriti mood (Contentment and hapiness born out of
Bhagavath anubhavam) of a great SriRam BhakthA: "My ears are full of
SriRam's stories. My lips feel blessed in His Naama sankeerthanam, I
see SriRam in whatever I see, even distasteful things become
relishable and I have secured the fruit in SriRam".
The PunnagavarALi krithi of Saint ThyagrAja sums up the ideal
Sanchaari Bhaavam (mood) of a BhakthA in whom NaadhOpaasana found its
home.
