Chanting of the Prabandham the best possible way

[Guest guest]

Respected Adiyaars,

 

I have a huge doubt. Even though tamil is my

mother tongue, I still have issues in understanding the meanings of most of the

Prabandhams. Well, if understanding the basic, flat meaning is itself a problem

as such, what about the subtle, deep, philosophical truth hidden in each verse

of the Prabandham??

 

How should one chant the Prabandham?? Is it ok, if

he chants it without knowing the meaning as such. And what about pronunciation

mistakes?? Am I right if I say that it is an offense if we make mistakes when we

chant the pasurams, as it is tantamount to insulting the Azhwars??

 

Sometimes, I do get the meaning, but still am prone

to making errors. For example, thanks to Sri Madhavakkannan, I now know the

meaning of "Thiruppallandu", but still I have confusions in the last word of

each paragraph, I donno when to say "Pallandu KURUVANE" or "Pallandu KURUDHUME"

or "Pallandu KURUMINE". Is it an offense when I mix and match them??

 

Sometimes, when I chant the Pasurams, my mind just

wanders, thinking of very very trivial mundane things, thinking of anything but

Perumal. Am I a sinner??

 

I request the elders and the cognizant in the list to

kindly address my queries.

 

AzhwAr EmperumanAr Jeeyar Thiruvadigale Saranam.
