with reference to influence of the wives on the lives of Thirumangai and

Ramanuja

 

Perhaps a more suitable terms in my opinion is CAUSE , REASON or KARANAM.

I will try to justify why I think so.

 

Thirumangai, perhaps would have settled down for a happy romantic life with

Kumuduvalli. It was her demand that transformed Thirumangai into Thirumangai

Alwar.

 

Ramanuja perhaps would have continued his married life, if only his wife was

not such a big abstruction to his religious and caste free life style. It

was her attitude and behavior that made Ramanuja to push her out of his life.

Now he got full time to devote and became a paramacharya. I am reminded of

what Socrates said about marriage: Marry without a second thought. If you get

a good wife, you will enjoy your life; if not, you will become a philosopher!

 

In the case of Purandara Dasa, his wife was solely the cause of

transformation of a stingy Jeweler into a Bhkta. He has awcknowledged this

in his comositions (Hendati santhati saviravagali gandige betta

hidisidalayya( the sense meaning is: Let wives prosper , because it is a

wife who transformed me into a saint)
