DEEMED 1

[Guest guest]

Dear srEvaishNavites,

 

When we were discussing in our professional circles, the topic of

deeming provisions comes up from time to time. What is deeming

provision? the impact of an act or deed is said to have been reached

without the act actually been done. the idea is to avoid

circumventing any provision a deeming provision is inserted in the

law. For example, though a comany may actually be a private limited

company, it is deemed to be public if it accepts deposits from

public.

 

I was wondering if AzhwAr have at any place used this deeming provision and indeed they have.

 

Yes PeiryAzhwAr has mentioned this in kaNdam ennum kadinagar pAsuram.

The pAsuram is 'thangaiyai mUkkum, thamayanai thalaiyum.."

periyAzhwAr thiru-mozhi 4-7-11;

 

Sri periyAzhwAr mentions that those who are involved and well versed

in these pAsuram-s are deemed to have taken divine bath in the ganges

and doing service at the feet of the Lord of 'kaNdam ennum kadi-nagar'

-dhEva-prayAgai.

'gangayil thirumAl kazhal iNaikkEzhEyEa kuLithirundha kaNakkAmEA'

 

Though a devotee may not have visited or seen this dhivya-dhEsam at

all, the involvement in these pAsuram-s make them reach a stage as if

they are doing service at the feet of the Lord there.

 

They are indeed blessed - A DEEMED LOT.
