Respected Adiyaars,

I have a huge doubt. Even though tamil is my mother tongue, I still have issues 
in understanding the meanings of most of the Prabandhams. Well, if 
understanding the basic, flat meaning is itself a problem as such, what about 
the subtle, deep, philosophical truth hidden in each verse of the Prabandham?? 

How should one chant the Prabandham?? Is it ok, if he chants it without knowing 
the meaning as such. And what about pronunciation mistakes?? Am I right if I 
say that it is an offense if we make mistakes when we chant the pasurams, as it 
is tantamount to insulting the Azhwars?? 

Sometimes, I do get the meaning, but still am prone to making errors. For 
example, thanks to Sri Madhavakkannan, I now know the meaning of 
"Thiruppallandu", but still I have confusions in the last word of each 
paragraph, I donno when to say "Pallandu KURUVANE" or "Pallandu KURUDHUME" or 
"Pallandu KURUMINE". Is it an offense when I mix and match them??

Sometimes, when I chant the Pasurams, my mind just wanders, thinking of very 
very trivial mundane things, thinking of anything but Perumal. Am I a sinner??

I request the elders and the cognizant in the list to kindly address my queries.

AzhwAr EmperumanAr Jeeyar Thiruvadigale Saranam.

Dasan,

Kidambi Soundararajan.
