Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:
One time, Andal, the mother of Bhattar, spent Vaikunta
Ekadasi day by fasting the whole day. The next day, to
complete the fast, she asked Bhattar to give her the
Lord's divine water.
Bhattar replied "How did you manage to pick out the
Ekadasi day from inside the great divine event (periya
thirunAL)?"
That is, Bhattar is wondering how in the great event
of Adhyayana Utsavam, that occurs over twenty days,
and is meant to be spent entirely in bhagavad anubhavam,
someone found the time to perform ekAdasi vratham.
Bhattar's thought is that either one should not have
even been aware that such a day was occuring or one
should not have worried about following the ritual.
That is, nothing should come between the devotees and
bhagavad anubhavam during that time.
