thirup pAvai - part 57 - "paRai" as kainkaryam - oru poruL viLakkam

 

Dear bAgawathAs,

 

"paRai" is seen by many as kainkarya prApthi. In

order to understand what is kainkarya prApthi we must first

look into the etymology of the word kainkaryam and

understand what is kainkaryam in simple terms. The word

kainkaryam is derived as the act of a "kinkaran". KinkarAs

are those who obey the orders of their leaders without any

hesitation and execute it in military style. Their

viswasasm or loyalty is unshakable like a mountain. All they

do is whatever their thalivar or leader wants them to do.

There is a normal belief that haran or sankaran's army is

known as kinkarAL.

 

There is also a notion that the thoodhALs of Sri

yama dharma rAja is known as kinkarALs. In both cases the

disciples execute the order of the leader so sincerely and

without any interruptions they made "lakkanam" for obedience

itself and that the name of any act of a shishyAL carried

over with utmost sincerity is names after them as kainkaryam.

So when we say there are two important components in it. One

is the act must be commanded by an AchAryA or a bAgawathA or

Lord HIMself (through the holy scriptures and shAshtram). ie

Someone has to assign us. We cannot do anyhting due to our

own "icchai". The second component is doing it wih utmost

sincerity.

 

There is also a view prevalent from Sri putthur

Srinivasa swamigaL "Is there a Father who donot feed HIS own

son ? Is there a sareeri who donot take care of HIS sareeram?

When it is stated earlier that mOksham is given by Lord Sri

nAryAyaNan at the end of the birth for those who have

performed this nOnbu. What is one going to do in

SriVaikundam ? Are the prpapannAs not going to do kainkaryam

as a "dAsan" or dAsi in Srivaikundam to the divya dampathis ?

Yes. So the meaning for the word paRai as kaimkarya prApthi

is also derived from the conception of mOksham as the main

meaning. Kainkarya prApthi means the yOgam or koduppinai or

blessings to do kainkaryam. It is not kainkaryam itself

because the benefit of kainkaryam is for the divya

dampathis. Only the blessings to do kainkaryam is given to

us. So one should not mix up between kainkaryam and

kainkarya prApthi when we conceive the meaning for the word

paRai.
