Dear srevaishNavites,
FORGETTING THE DIVINE NAME
OF THE LORD
What wil happen if we forget the divine name of the
Lord?
The assistants of "yamA" will not touch
us.
What a paradox. All along it is understood that the
divine name of the Lord is the salavation from the yama kinkarA-s. Now it is
said that forgetting the
name of the Lord will result in this
benefit?
Well, it is not that this is applicable for all the
souls universally. It is for those who even if they forget the name of the
Lord
but never , never never submit their souls to
other deities this is applicable.
Thirumazhisai AzhwAr also talks about this
forgetting.
He talks about the nature of
srevaishNavites.
Their conviction in relation to other deities.
Even by such type of forgetfulness, we
srevaishNavites will not worhip other deities is the message delivered by
AzhwAr.
"thiRambEan min kaNdEr,
thiruvadi than nAmam
maRandhum, puRam thozhA mAndhar..." nAnmugan
thiruvandhAdhi -68
The message is that - the soul meant for the Lord
may not be submitted at His divine feet; However, it should definietly not laid
at the altar of others.
