Guest guest Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Magnanimity The Webster dictionary describes magnanimity as 'Greatness of mind-generosity of heart' One may find in this world, philanthrophists being magnanimous. However, the Lord's genroity needs no proof. It is said that em-perumAn who has bestowed us with physique and sensory organs and elevated us from the subtle state is in itslef a Great act of magnanimity. The deeds of em-perumAn is replete with magnanmous acts. Sri chakravarthith thirumagan's famous statement "inRu pOi nALai VA' is one such instance of magnanimity where Sri rAmA permits rAvANA to go unharmed as he was unarmed. Can anybody forget vudayavar proclaiming the truth at thiru-k-kOshTiyUr, despite the fact that he may be doomed to hell or Sri kUrathAzhwAn sacrifice of his dharsan-eyes for the sake of emprumAnAr dharisanam. Perhaps, Sri kUrathAzhwAn appealing for nAlUrAn's salvation is the height of magnanimity. Our vyAkyAna karthAs have done a great service by unravelling secrets from the capsule of srE sUkthis. But for them it would have been next to impossible for souls like us to comprehend the true import. These vyAkyanam-s have highlighted certain subtle facts which unearth emperumAn's magnanimity which may not otherwise be apparently understood. Shall we experience a few of these.
