mATRamum ThArAdhOA vAsal thiRavAdhAr
The fundamental policy of srEvaishNavic faith is chreishing the Lord alongwith
fellow souls.
'Vedham vallArgaLaik koNDu viNNoAr perumAn ThriuppAdham paNindhu' declares
svAmi Nam AzvAr.
Those who have unfailing conviction that He is indeed the means and the end are
those who are well versed in vEdham-s (vEdham vallArgaL) -EDu.
Having said this, there are more reasons attributed for seeking like minded
company, when entering into realm of EmperumAn's world. His auspciious
qualities is
akin to the full of deep watered oceans and likely to submerge us into it and
alAs! denying the opprotunity to relish His such wonderful kalyANA guNas. In
fact, Sri ParAnkusA requests the Lord Himself, a mind of steel and steely
resolve to overcome being melted on thinking of Sri KrshNA's sweet
attributes.(piRandhulagam vun siRandha guNAthAl vurugum sElath thiRam
thavirndhu)
He appeals to sacred poets to save him so from sinking into the sea of
EmperumAn's qualities (senjoR kavigAL vuyir kAth At seimin..)
Sri ANDAL being naturally inclined towards EmperumAn ( being a feminine
Herself) and also a descendant of this divine lineage of Azvar clan
(anjukkudikkoRu sandhadhi) did follow this dictum meticulously but naturally.
This was inborne and not imbibed. This GopikA convert from SrivilliputhUr
yearned for Sri KrshNA is well known.Her thirty divine songs followed by the
outpourings of nAchiyAr thirumozhi are indeed emotional sketches of real life
manifested into eternal bliss of tamil prabhandham.
The sixth pAsuram to the fifteenth sees Sri ANDAL knocking at the doors of
SrevaishNavites and reminding them of their tryst with the Lord at Sri
NandaGopA's divine palace. These disciples are symbolic of various types of
followers of our great fatih.
Knocking at doors, one expects response at the early hours of the dawn. Going
farther, indicating the outbreak of dawn and support this with various
evidences point to the patience at its height is in itself a test of endurance.
That non-response as response, silence as reciprocation and passiveness as
reply from one of the inmates prods ANDAL not to drop this disciple but plead
for her attention. She ( the inmate ) who is enjoying Lord KrhsnA does not
reply to their calls. No Sir, unlike me ,ANDAL does not go to the next door.
She requests for Her voice at least.Cravign for her attention, kOdhai nAchiyAr
requests:
y MAdam! Your priorities are different. You are in sacred engagment. Agreed.
Need not open the doors for us. At least give your voice for us. You may give
yourself to Sri KrshNA but is it unfair to bless us with Your voice?
mATramum thArAdhOA vAsal thiRavAdhAr
Such is the endurance and the extent to which a srEvaishNavite goes to get the
divine company of another such like minded AtmA
That is why it is again and again said
