Guest guest Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 Typically, in ancient Tamil literature -- aganaanuuRu or innner 400 -- when mother or friend chides the daughter/friend for seeking someone, citing some reasons, always counter points are given. I have seen such a theme in thiruvaasagam also. This poem by one of the greatest bhakta-s of Lord shiva set me into thinking from the point of view of the girl. Why is that she loves? Those apparents protests at a casual look will not put her off? a) uRavu pEykkaNam -- avar uRavaRRor yaarO? You say about HIS relations are with bhuuta gaNa-s. I ask back -- who is there in this Cosmos who is not related to my Lord. All gaNa-s are his attendants. There is no one who can exist without the support of my Lord. Praise my Lord namah shivAya! b) uNbathu venthalai -- avaR uzhikkutthil uNbathu ulagelaam!! You say that HE eats from a skull. I tell you. At the time of destruction, he eats this whole universe. What is more apt to eat that from than the skull of brahma. To save you, my Lord will even swallow deadliest of posions. Praise my Lord namah shivAya! c) uRaivathu Imam - avar uRaiyaa iDam Ethu? You say HIS residence is cemetry. I ask you, is there a place where HE is not? HE pervades all. He lives in the heart of all jiiva-s. May be some of them are like cemetry! Praise my Lord namah shivAya! d) uDayilor peNkoDi - avar thannaiye tharum vaLLal? avaL avar karUNai ruupam You say HE has given his half to his Lady. It does not amaze me, as HE will give all of HIMSELF to his devotees. And I wont be jealous of HER, as SHE is his kAruNyam. SHE is there all over HIM, only that people see HER in one half. Praise my Lord namah shivAya! iRaivanArkku ivaL en kaNDu anbAvadhE? -- anbE shivam, pin naan ethai cholven anbAvAthaRku You wonder looking at what I fell in love with HIM. My Lord is love, what can I cite as reason for being in love with HIM. There are countless reason I find to seek HIM. But there is none to contradict my love. Praise my Lord namah shivAya! Thank you for posting this wonderful series.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 WONDERFUL WORDS RAVI!!! WONDERFUL!!!!!! Namah Shivaya! Exactly- who cannot Love our Father! He drinks poison so that others will get amrit, He protects and loves the lowliest- whether it be a hunter or a fisherman or a farmer or a wandering ghost . People shun ghosts but our Karuna Moorthy takes them in as it were- people shun snakes , but He wears them as garlands .. Yes He loves cemeteries- when our hearts become cemeteries where the ego is burnt , and the six passions are destroyed He dances with Joy there .. His name chanted even once purifies one of all sins, He is the destroyer of sin , the granter of liberation, the essence behind Mother ..... SHE is His Love, HE is HER Truth. thank you Ravi for such a sweet answer .... Anbe Sivam... Namah Shivaya namah shivaya >"M. S.
