God s Wrath - Thirumozhi -5-7-2 - Sreevachana Bhooshanam 192-Thiruvozhmozhi 3-1-8

[Guest guest]

DEAR BHAKTHI GROUP MEMBERS

It is true that Sri Rama rarely got angry and one of the instances is

Sinathinaal Thennilangai Koamanaich Cherra Manathuk Iniyaan -Thiruppaavai. Here

in Aaraayirappadi it is mentioned that When Thiruvadi was hit Sri Rama became

angry. In Moovayirappadi it is quoted that When Sugreeva Maharaja got angered

Sri Rama vanquished Vaali. These are instances to show that God who is full of

mercy, gets angered against those who harm his devotees.

 

It will be apt to observe Thriumozhi 5-7-2 where Gajendra Moksham is referred

to directly.

Kadikol Poompozhil kaamaru Poizhkai , vaighu thaamarai vaangiya veazham

mudiyumvannam oar mudhalai parra,

marradhu NIn Charan ninaippa, kodiya vaai vilangin vuyir malanga KONDA Seerram

......"

 

The key words here is KONDA Seerram.That is, normally Emberuman does not get

angered. Here He himself, out of volition got anger unto HIM to decimate the

enemies of His devotees. This paasuram is exactly apposite as this is in the

context of Gajendra Moksham.

In this regard,it will be appropriate to recall the Sri Vachana Bhooshanam of

Sri Pillai Lokachari " Eeswaran Avadharithup Pannina Aanaith Thozhilgal Ellam ,

Bhaagavadha Abhacharam Poramai" enru Jeeyar Arulichcheivar "

SrivachanaBhooshanam -192.

Though Lord is capable of destroying those just from his place by Sankalpam, he

comes into the World in the form of Avatharam and brings to end Hirnaya and

Ravana for their misdeeds and sins against Prahlaadhan and Maharishigal and

others. In Bhagvadhas case,The Lord descends directly and makes Dhusta Nikraham.

- Nanjeeyar.

 

In this regard Thiruvoizhmozhip Paasuram " Thozhum Kaadhal Kaliru Alippaan"

-3-1-8 is relevant. God could have vanquished the crocodile right from His

Lokam. He descends for several reasons one of which is to give /show His

presence to the Elephant Gajendra which had immense desire to worship Him.

Thozhum -worship the Lord with The Chakra in His hand; kaadhal - desire;

kaliru-AAnai -Gajendhra. On hearing the scream of Gajendra God forgot himself

and the Chakra in his hand. Otherwise, he could have killed the mudhalai with

thechakra or Sankalpam.Even if God had not forgot himself, he would have had to

descend for the sake of Gajendra who desired to worship The Lord with The Chakra

in His hand.
