Your question :
Why God has two wives ?
My answer:
According to Srivaishnava Philosophy , Lord Sriman Narayanan is the only
PURUSHOTHAMAN . HE is the only male and all HIS CHIT creations are female and
we are supposed to marry him through the wedlock of Saranagathi .
Also Periapiratti , called Sree Mahalakshmi ( SRIDEVI NACHIYAR ) , always
adorns Sriman Narayanan?s bosom and never leaves that place even for a fraction
of a second . This concept alone gives us all reassurances and courage that our
Saranagathi done at anytime or at anyplace to the Lord through Periapiratti
will produce the desired results.
Apart from Peria piratti the Lord has HIS other consorts as well . Bhoodevi and
Neeladevi ( also called Nappinnai Piratti ) . They are not to be considered as
his other wives , in the worldly sense of the term.
As Swami Desikan narrates in his works Dayasadagam , Bhoomadevi is the
embodiment of patience and holds the universe. Neeladevi is the embodiment of
Anubhavam or experience . They are part of Lord?s Thirukalyanagunas and helps
Periapiratti in the achievement of HER objective Viz . bringing salvation to
the chit creations of the LORD , when the former is doing saranagathi.
Lord always goes by the rule of the law while giving rewards and punishments to
HIS devotees. The devotees , by virtue of their vasanas do perform innumerable
sins while executing their prescribed Karmas. Hence they cannot attain
salvation of the soul , if Lord goes only by the rule of the game. In this the
three Pirattis Viz. Sridevi, Bhoodevi and Neeladevi play their role effectively
and create conditions for the LORD to forgive the sins of HIS devotees and
offer them salvation.
Periapiratti , makes the Lord to forgive the sins of the devotees. Boomadevi
does not show the sins of the devotees to the Lord by diverting HIS attention.
Finally , Neeladevi , prevents the Lord from seeing the sins of the devotees by
her leelas. Where as Sridevi is Mahalakshmi , Bhoodevi is none other than Andal
and Neeladevi is the Gopikas. Sridevi is Lord?s devotee , Bhoodevi is the
devotee of the Lord and Sridevi and Neeladevi is the devotee of the devotees.
Since Neeladevi controls the Indriyas of the Lord by Her leelas , She is also
called the Purushakara Bhoothai. The three princesses of the Lord are lined up
only to explain the Guruparampara to the world.
Trust the above will explain why Sriman Narayanan is having more than one
Nachiyar . So it would be absolutely incorrect to call the Nachiars as wives of
the Lord and also equate HIS position to us in this mundane world. There is NO
comparison.
