SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama: Dearest All, In the sixth decad, Kulasekara AzhwAr assumes the role of different milk maids (Gopikas) and conveys the feeling of anger caused by the misbehaviour of Krishna with regard to his affairs with other Gopikas. In the words of Milkmaids, AzhwAr complains: After experiencing the God through mental perception, the mystic saint develops an urge for a direct communion with God and desires to see Him visually. But this does not happen and suffers from frustration and anguish. When he is overtaken by intense grief and languishing for the Lord, on account of separation from God, he gives the expression of inner feelings in different ways. The grief caused by separation from God which becomes unbearable for a mystic even for a moment is described here in this decad. Let us enjoy the first verse. koNdaiyoN kaNmata vaaLorutthi keezhai yakatthuth thayir_kataiyak kaNdu_ollai naanum kataivanenRu kaLLa vizhivizhith thuppukku vaNtamar poonguzhal thaazhnthulaava vaaNmukam vErppaccev vaaytthutippa thandayir neekatain^ thittavaNNam thaamOtha raamey yaRivann^aanE 6.2 Damodharaa! In the house eastern side of my home, I myself have seen and witnessed You entering into, and seeing that the attractive most beautiful fish like eyed Gopika was churning the curd alone and all by herself; pretended to offer Your help ?let me also churn along with you, so that it would be finished faster; ? Your dark curly tresses lower and swing on the forehead; the most beautiful shining divine face shows droplets of sweat on it; the red coral like lips quiver due to strain and this whole scene aroused her passion by Your looking at her with those deceitful and charming lotus like eyes of Yours and holding her hand for churning the curd. I know and have seen them all.
