Dear Sri Balaji Sunsdarrajan swAmi,
I am a small fry and it is insignificant and irrelevant of what I accept or not
accept.
However, I take very strong exception to the following lines:
Qutoe:
But please understand that for kaliyan's arrogant character
in terms of robbery , he deserves a death sentence. [and almighty
has been directly watching Kaliyan , all along his life]
Unquote.
Are we capable of passing judgements on anybody and more so on AzhwArs.
I do not know whether your father has emphasised the fact that AzhwAr's are
"mayarvaRa mathi-nalam aruLap peRRavargaL"I hope you believe this.
If you do so, I request you to please withdraw the lines in which we are
trying to pass comments on kaliyan.
I request humbly the moderator, not to permits such blatant accusations against
our beloved AzhwAr
My intention is not to hurt your or your father's feelings. But if we start
quoting from hearsay or from our ancestors, I will start quoting such events
which are not in our written authentic works. This will end up in just
controversies and arguemnts.
If yOu still want to write, please write to me personally.
thank you

Kaliyan 's last day of life in Thirukurungudi & hisSalvation!!!
=======================================================
"This is based on what i have heard from my father,
i am not aware of any works that talk about this
I am hoping others in the list will have some information
or works which deal with this topic"
=======================================================
Dear Shri Vaana-maa-malai Padmanabhan Swamin
Adiyaen's Pranaams(Dhanyoshmin).
When i write mails to yourself(ungalukku) my mind hums 8.10.X
(Nedumaarku.... Urumo-paaviyenukku.... , Vaaikka Thamiyerku.....)
When i took this human-birth , my mind is flushed ( Paaramaaya
palavinai.. thiruPaanalwar) by almighty.
Adiyaen told what i heard from my father. there is no exaggeration.
i am NOT a story writer. I am not a pride seeker. I dont need
any thing more than His Blessing.
However i wanted to tell yourself(ungalukku) that
until Year 1996 , in srivilliputtur andal temple, ..
there is a set of bhagavathas usually 60+ Years of age sit
in front of Aravanai Bell and chat. The topic varies from Thiru-
kurugur to Badrinath. they would have told this episode to my father
and our father told in turn to us. This Chatting is regular practice
going on for 100's of years of chatting before temple.
Please understand that chatting like this is very common in
Srivilliputtur Andal Temple and accepted in VEDAS.
This is Called Bhagavad-smaranai. They form the VERY foundation of
Ananya-bhakthi,Breed desire to seek more & more knowledge,cultivation
of Shrivaishnavaa Philosophy,sharing of knowledge(like we do now in
this YAHOO-GROUP). Wow !!! I sat with them one day 10 years back. !!!
What a Beautiful conversation !!!. All melodious,heart pleasing
words using tamil. Sadly... due to the current political trend... !!
it may have vanished by now.
Adiyaen is going to India next week. so i will enquire about
kaliyan in deep. !!!
But please understand that for kaliyan's arrogant character
in terms of robbery , he deserves a death sentence. [and almighty
has been directly watching Kaliyan , all along his life]
Did you know this : -
Divyadesam - Thiru-Ninra-voor (Near Ambattur,Madras)
According to my father , kaliyan did not enter this temple. kaliyan
was passing-by. Thiruninravoor-perumaal asked( or say requested )
Kaliyan to sing him. Kaliyan wrote 10 paasurams without entering
temple. that is how we see that Divya-desam.
My father told stories like this at several points of his lifetime
to me and my elder brother.
Adiyaen always... Enga-appa Daasan... for his Ananya-Bhakthi.
if you(rself) are not accepting this .. its fine. It is almighty's
wish to speak through me in this yahoo-group.
Adiyane
Kaari-maaran Daasan !!!
-> Aaye , - Iv-vulagil - Nir-panavum , thirivana-vum Neeye !!!
.................
Kooyae Kol Adiyaenai Kodu-vulagam Kaa-tey-lay !!!
