Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: Dear TCA Venkatesan, Accept my pranams. I broke into a laughter when I read your reply and sorry for my late reply. This laughter was not at the bhAgavatha but imagining about what PerumAL must have thought:"who is the guy who swallows even Me;oh boy My kids are inventing new new thathvams and making pun of My parathvam!" and hence He Himself must had a hearty laugh. When we recite without knowing the meanings,all our chantings would become anecdotes only to those who know the meanings and those who are experts in thamizh. Just as PeriAzhvAr (unlike other AzhvArs) and EmperumAnAr(unlike other AcAryAs)thought that PerumAL must be lonely and hence He needs people around Him & be entertained,we surely entertain PerumAL by kaimkaryam of prabandha recitation(with lot of anecdotes like this). Laughter is the elixir of life. By making PerumAL laugh we fulfil PeriAzhvAr's perpetual concern for the safety of PerumAL:-) AzhvAr EmperumAnAr JIyar thiruvadigaLE sharaNam NC Nappinnai > Apparently one of these people was standing right > behind Cunnapakkam Swami.
