Guest guest Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: One time Nanjeeyar asked Bhattar "A chetana performs surrender to the Lord and the Lord gives the reward to the chetana. Why does the chetana need to seek Sri Mahalakshmi for mediation?" Bhattar replied "Have you not seen Azhvar's pasuram 'nALum nam thiruvudaiyadigaL tham nalangkazhal vaNangi" (Thiruvaymozhi 1-3-8)? When a chetana surrenders to the Lord, He might still get angry with him due to his many sins. Ignoring his sins and protecting him in Her shadow, it is thAyAr who brings him in front of the Lord at the appropriate time, then mediates on his behalf to the Lord and helps him gain salvation. This is why, She has to be seeked first".
