Thanks to Sri MuraLi for correcting

[Guest guest]

SRI:

Dearest sisters and brothers,

In Thiruvaaimozhi 2.4.2 though I had written that kaNNan plucked the 1000

shoulders of vaaNaasurA, I wrote within parantheses that kaNNan kileed

vaaNAsurA which is not correct- as explained beautifully bu Sri MuraLi

below. I am sorry for the mistake. May be when I wrote asurA,

subconsciously in my mind, I wanted kaNNan to kill the asurA.- I did not

know the asurA's lineage- Sorry again.

 

thanks a LOT , Sri MuraLi for your good words spoken about the posts. There

are many who write such appreciations. recently Sri Vijai Triplicane too

sent me a pat on my back. It makes me well with tears in my eyes when

parama bhagavathAs and learned

scholars of this group like you write and praise the blabberings of mine.

It is the

inspiration from all other excellent posts (What depths of information and

rasikhyam of posts on saint ThyagarajA's kritis by Sri Sadagopan, the info

from Sri Anand, the practical reality of Srirangam by Sri keshav dAs, the

personal prayer post from Smt Viji raghunAthan!)

I can not match even a millionth of essence of these posts. It is like the

elders clapping a kid's

"mazhalai blabber" just because it is their kid. It is Sriman Narayanan's

grace that

makes them likeable by bhAgavathALs.

 

thanks again everybody.

 

Warm Regards

Dearest Sriman Kannan,

 

Thanks again for sharing the outpourings of the Azhwar as the mother

of ParAnkusha Nayaki. The summary of verses 2.3 and 2.4 was brilliant.

Indeed when one reads writings like yours coming forth from intense

Anubhavam of the work of the Azhwar, one is transported literally to

Sri Vaikuntam. This happens unconsicously in front of the computer

terminal.

 

In verse 2 of the summary below, you mention that Lord Krishna

killed Banasura to rescue his grandson from the Asura's prison.

I think Lord Krishna maimed him of his 1000 arms but spared his

life since the Asura was Mahabali's grandson. Also since the

Asura belonged to the ineage of Prahlada which had been assured of

constant protection by the Lord, he was spared. A third reason is

the request of Lord Shiva (who went to war with the Lord since he

had promised Banasura unconditional support, but was easily defeated

by Lord Krishna).

 

Namo Narayana,
