To support the contention contained in the message we shold consider the Nammalwar's saying "engane sollilum inbam payakkume.' The literal meaning of the words are
Engane -- In whatever manner
Sollilum -- recited
Inbam -- pleasure, here pleasure to Lord
Payakkume --will result.
The meaning is even if we recite the pasurams of Alwards with imperfection and in coarse sound Lord is pleased to hear the wosrds of Alwars. Thie is because Alwars are jnanies and janies are dear to Lord.

Priya Bhagawatas,
We are all tiniest of the kids and remain so throughout our life in front of Lord Srimannarayana and Nityasoori brundam. Just as a mother not only excuses her child but enjoys its talking with loss of clarity, grammar, pronunciation etc., Perumal and His parivaaram enjoy our chanting and excuse us for our mistakes while chanting the Divya Prabandham or any stothram; but it is our duty to ask for the apologies at the end for our ignorance like "Mantraheenam, kriya heenam Bhaktiheenam Janardhana.................and Yadakshara padabrahstam maatra heenantu yadbhaveth tatsarvam kshamya ta devam naarayana namostutey." But from time to time we also should put some efforts to correct ourselves slowly. Thus instead of not chanting at all on the pretext of possible errors, it is better to continue chanting and ask for apologies at the end, as nobody what ever experienced one may be cannot guarantee 100% accuracy in chanting

Jai Srimannarayana

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??
