thirup pAvai - part 65 - padinthu El Or

 

Dear bAgawathAs,

 

"padinthu" means "maNdi" or being involved. It means

that we must involve in this nOnbu in such a way that we are

not diverting our attention on anything else. Our focus must

be in this nOnbu very very sincerely and we must not loose

our faith as well. "padinthu" means a level of involvement in

anything. It is a serious involvement in anything. It is not

similar to a part time job. One must observe this nOnbu with

utmost sincerity and faith. "padinthu" also means that taking

bath. ie Since Sri ANDAL called everyone in the beginning for

"neerAda pOthuveer" to do snAnam and enjoy Sri Krishna

anubavam, this word must also be taken such that one must do

involve in this Sri Krishna anubavam with fullest devotion to

Lord Sri KrishnA. One must be immersed in this nOnbu in such

a way that they donot know anything other than Sri Krishna.

 

The word "El" means "listen". "El" also means "please

accept this". This word is an appeal to all the Aaychiars by

Sri ANDAL. This is similar to an AchAryA telling his shishyAL

at the end of the nOnbu that "Lord has assured to give you

mOksham, you please accept this". It is also similar to

telling the brides that Lord Sriman nArAyaNan alias Sri

Krishnan has accepted you and it is your turn now to accept

this marriage and conduct ourselves as a patthini.

 

The word "Or" means "one". It also means "please keep

this in your mind", or "please think on this and conduct your

self suitably" or "learn this" and conduct yourself

accordingly. What is that the Aaychiars must learn, think and

keep in mind ? The Aaychiars were told that "nArAyaNaNE

nammakE paRai tharuvAn" and that we are assured that Lord Sri

nArAyaNan will take care of HIS own udamai or belonging (this

soul). We needn't fear. (mA suchA). The combined word "ElOr"

also means "understand this" that Lord will bless us for our

nOnbu. It is also seen by some as addressing those who are

always listening to the command of their leader. ie., The

Aaychiars donot seek anything other than the Lord and they

are the best dAsis as such. They donot know anything other

than Lord SriKrishna and their pathivrathayam cannot be

compared to anyone's. Such prapannA's can be addressed as

"ElOr".
