mothers - in contrast -post 1

[Guest guest]

Dear sri vaishNava perunthagaiyeer,

 

Recently we had a very eloquent and well-argued case on the plight of a 'great

woman', a well-explained discussion on the great mother seethaa piraatti. Here

we will see two women, actually two 'mothers' in contrast.

 

Generally 'women' or 'mothers', in general, are described 'love personified' -

to be very precise 'vaathsalyam' personified - [may be this Sanskrit word is a

bit unique and cannot be translated to its equivalent to near perfection like

the other word dharmam] - love showered on their own off-springs or other's

off-springs. Like

* There are numerous examples like yasOdhaa - mother of my krishNa

* mother sabari awaiting a very long period with vaathsalyam to feed raama with

selected fruits after tasting and checking whether the fruits are really tasting

good

* mother anasooya who had all the 3 foremost moorthies, brahma, Vishnu, sivan

as her children feeding them with her breast milk.

 

During the first week of August we celebrated 'breast feeding week'. Who else

will feed the child except the mother with milk as well vaathsalyam?

 

Rarely we see mothers acting differently on children like

- nalla thangaaL to kill her own children

- poothanai committing infanticide,

- kaikEyi asking son raama to go forest on a banishment.

That is about mothers in general. We will see now about the two mothers in

contrast.

 

An introduction of them:

Mother one: this mother is very wild in nature, arrogant in words and deeds,

gigantic in size, figuratively ugly, intentionally wicked, has a very bad

master, does not know what is compassion, love, sympathy, etc.

 

Mother two: this mother is gently soft, very attractive by all its definitions,

beauty personified, figuratively well proportioned, always well intentioned,

highly tactful, absolutely noble in thoughts and deeds, master-less,

compassionate towards all wards both 'good' and 'bad'.

 

About the mission of the 2 mothers:

Mother one: master, the bad one, had waves of intuition - [asareeri vaakku] -

that his position and authority is being questioned, death looming large above

the head - by a new person arising on the earth, so master calls and commissions

this mother on 'mission kill' of the arising 'enemy' - for he is unknown about

his location, capacity etc.

 

Mother two: as already stated since master less - nobody can command this mother

- so self commissioned on mission 'serve children'.

 

The cause and scene of appearance of the mothers:

Mother one: news reaches master's ears that his enemy is born. Though born

'where' is known, there are other questions like 'how, when, whether male or

female' is all secrets. Suddenly 'preceding born' sister arrives on scene and

announces with grandeur, having been caught by master in 'mission elimination'.

The master is on that mission for he thought that person is the enemy. But

receives a message from this sister 'hey foolish fellow, want to kill me, you

cannot, know your killer is born already, await the arrival of him at the scene

to remove you'.

So master in fear commissions mother one secretly on 'mission kill' by

committing infanticide since enemy in unidentifiable. Mother searches and turns

herself a serial killer of infants. Reaches to a celebrated newborn having heard

'he is' that.

 

Mother two: Since her children were of contrasting characters, wanted to unify

them at least on a particular work by commissioning them on a search for

something 'valuable', thus to that extent succeeded on that great mission - '

let us jointly work for something valuable'. These wards when some valuables

sighted in the course of their work, as usual, started quarrelling in sharing

the valuables. So mother sets herself on mission 'serve children'.

 

Accomplishment of the mission:

Mother one: Mother reaches enemy of master who is an infant. So she breast-feeds

the enemy, thinking that is an easy way of achieving 'mission kill'. The child

is so naughty that he helps finish the mission easily.

 

Mother two: Mother takes control on the 'valuable' in her hand, and sets herself

out on mission 'serve children'. The distribution is to about commence to both,

the teams of good and bad wards. While mother sets herself in the process of

distribution, her physical beauty enrages the physical lust of the bad boys in

spite of the lady being their mother, thereby results are as desired by mother.

 

Result of mission:

Mother one: So 'mission kill' is a total failure for the master. In the process

mother herself is eliminated and later the master. Because of the "enemy's

status" mother becomes a celebrity mother. Other wise now we have no need to

talk to about this mother.

 

Mother two: The second team of 'good boys' wins in the mission of 'serve

children'. Of course mother was also a lot inclined towards these wards.

 

Dear bhakthaas, perhaps by now, you got the signals where all these lead. See

the verse, a great one, presenting both mothers in contrast, painting a

beautiful version exhibiting the 'contrast' to its core.

 

vanchanai seyyath thaay uruvaagi vandha pEi alaRi maN sEra

nanju amar mulai oodu uyir sega uNda naadhanaith thaanavar kooRRai

2-3-3 thirumangai aazhvaar in periya thirumozhi

 

meaning: [as given by sri madhavak kannan swamy of Singapore - taken from

message no. 6711 dated 15.3.1999 of bhakti list archives] 3. (AzwAr enjoys the

darling of NandhagOpan here!). The Lord - who sucked the life along with the

poisonous breast milk of poothanai, (demon raakshasi who had come in the guise

of a young woman to breastfeed kutti kaNNan and kill Him) and killed her and let

her fall dead on the ground; - who is the life of the world;- who is the yama of

asuraas; - who is praised and worshipped with awe at His wonderful form and

attributes by vidhyaadharar, chaaraNar, sidhdhar and all dhEvaas et al when He

took the lovely most beautiful mOhini avathaaram to distribute the nectarine

"amudham" to dhEvaas. Such Greatest Lord - I have seen in Triplicane".

 

Dear bhakthaas, in the process of talking about the two mothers, I 'forgot' the

fact that 'HE' the uththama purusha [purusha uththama or purushOththama as is

generally pronounced] is THE 'mother two', [uththama purusha means first person

in Sanskrit as well supreme person], the father of all we ourselves, all living

and nonliving, the very child for whose sake 'mother one' lost her life. We will

continue in post two.
