 SREEMATHE RAMANUJAYA NAMAHA

THIRUKKOLUR AMMAL VARTHAIGAL - Part I 

1) I did not say I will bring Sri Krishna like Akkrura
=============================================
Thiruppavai: Orrithimaganai Pirandu oriravil orrithimaganai...

Krishna was born to Devaki, but He was brought up in 
Ayarpadi as Yasodha and Nandagopan's son. 

Kamsa having known that Krishna was born to kill him,
He thought he could kill Krishna before He grew up.

Kamsa decided to celebrate a big festival and
planned to invite Krishna and Balarama to that
event, and kill both the children there.

Kamsa asked a close friend of Yasodha and
Nandagopa s called Akroora and told him
Will you please go to Ayarpadi, and bring 
both the children of Nandagopa s for the 
Danur Yagnam I am conducting?

I will have the royal elephant "Kuvalayapidam"
and the 2 wrestlers Chanooran and Mushtikan
on standby to kill the children. After their death 
only I can live peacefully and happily. Please
take the fastest chariot and with kind words
and promise of good care bring them back
as soon as possible. 

Akoora loved Krishna. He was a wise man,
and he knew that Krishna was none other 
than the avathara of LORD, Paramapurusha
Srimannarayana. 

He felt that as Kamsa's messenger he could go, 
see Krishna and Balarama, and spend time with them.

So the request of Kamsa made Akrrora
very happy. He knew that Kamsa could never
kill Krishna. He agreed to go to Gokulam
and along the way he was having very happy 
thoughts, because he was going to be in
the company of Krishna and Balarama soon. 

Once he reached Ayarpadi he was
received by one and all with great joy.
After he told them that he came to take
the children to Madhura, both Krishna and
Balarama were sent with Akkroora, after 
a lot of well wishing from the residents of 
Ayarpadi and special blessings from the
children's parents, to bring them back safely. 

We all know the rest of the story, that
Krishna defeated Kamsa and came back safe. 

Akrrora was totally blessed by Perumal,
that he was privileged to take Krishna
and Balarama with him. 

So Thirukkolur Ammal starts weeping
that she was not blessed like Akkroora.
=================================
Akrura knew Kishna was LORD Narayana
and can never be harmed,

Complete the story so its good for the kids
as to how Lord Krishna Killed Evil Kamsa, 
2 wrestlers and elephant "Kuvalayapidam". 

==================================
Q1. Moral of the story is open for discussion
==================================
Adiyal requests HH Narayana Jeeyar Swami to 
Post the Moral of this story.

To be continued.

Alwar Emberumannar Jeeyar Thiruvadigale Saranam.

Ramapriya Ramanuja Dasyai
