Subject: RE: Prapanna ParithrANam Relatives are like us ? What about Other
Deities?
Other
Devatas:
All the relationships on this earth
come only till the lifespan. There are some souls, devatas that have
been vested with fulfilling certain wishes. These devatas can be invoked by
proper yAgams by offering certain dravyams to them. Vayu can amass lot of wealth for one. Similarly, agni is
supposed to lead anyone by taking things forward. Now, PL continues with the
same question answer session kind of narration in explaining how these devatas
also cannot protect us.
Sun and
Moon
ivargallelum rakshakargal agamAttagayAl nAttaaru kannai irukkum surya chandrargal
pakkal kurai en?
PL posts a question as an analysis starting
point by saying that the relationships fail to protect us, but sun and moon are
glowing in day and night respectively to give light and cool ambience. What is
the kurai in them?
He himself answers
that:
ennil chandra suryarkal SarvEswaranuuku kattupattavargal
Sunlight is the main source of energy for any
activity on earth. Lots of scientific actions revolve around sunrise and sunset.
Infact, the entire span from sun rise to sun set is divided into 5 periods for
carrying out various activities. Similarly, moon gives cool light in the night.
It soothens one after a tiresome day. The key point here is that the rising and
setting time and their motion are not under their control, but under the control
of Perumal. An incident in Mahabharata is an example for this
aspect.
In order to protect Pandavas,
Krishna advanced the amAvAsyA by oneday from the actual date that
Sahadeva had reccommended to the Kauravas. Seeing Krishna performing
tharpanam, sun and moon came and stood before him for
justification. Krishna rightly answered them that He was correct
because both sun and moon were together that itme so that one's
shadow fell on the other.
Hence, it could be concluded that even sun
and moon are under the control of Perumal, and so they cannot protect us
completely.
Let us continue with the case of Indra in the next
posting.
