Dear Swamin Padmanabhan, Sreemethe Ramanujaya Namaha. How was it possible for the unlettered Alwars to write such beautiful and divine verses, and that too so profusely. That is the most wonderful thing. We can understand the Greatness of Emperuman who gave the Alwars and our Great Acharyas the divine Knowledge and the ability to write such Sweet Divine verses. Staying abroad we miss the woderful oppurtunities to learn the meaning of these verses, lacking the requisite knowledge in Tamil. Can any of you travel to our parts and stay for a week or two and give us an inkling of this great treasurehouse of knowledge? I can talk to our Tiruvenkatam Group members and others in Middle East to find out about their views. Alwar Acharya Jeeyat Tiruvadigale Saranam. Adiyen, Dasan, Ramanujam. >From: Padmanabhan <aazhwar@xxxxxxxx> >Reply-To: ramanuja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >To: ramanuja <ramanuja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, Oppiliappan ><Oppiliappan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, vanamamalai <Vanamamalai@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, >divyadesams <divya_desam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Subject: [ramanuja] A Peep into Periya Thiru-Mozhi 46 >Date: Wed, 17 Nov 2004 20:56:23 +0530 > > >The numerical magic >1-2-3-4-5-6-7 > >To talk and write coherently is not simple. > >Even if one talks, to talk and write with good content is difficult. > >Even if this is possible, to make this into a psalm and poem is still >complex. > >To create such poems within the paramaters of grammar is complicate. > >To put divine words and deeds in these is great. > >To add numbers coherently and serially and establish the superemacy of the >Lord is indeed not a simple but a difficult, complicate, complex -indeed a >great, divine and Godly task. > >This is what I feel whenever I go thorugh the thirumozhi on >"sErgAzhi-kAzhich sErAma viNNagaram' > >It is well known that sri kaliyan is 'nAlu-kavip perumAL'.
