thiruvEnkaTamudaiyAn and motherhood

[Guest guest]

Dear devotees,

 

Humble praNAms to all. Just some perspectives as I was

thinking about the Lord of seven hills(He is my family God). This DD

perumAL exhibits "vAtsalyam". Thanks to Sri Vanamamalai Padmanabhan

for writing great posts on 30 DD's and the kalyANa guNas exhibited

in the respective DD perumAL. Well, there are lot of politics going

on in Tirumala Hills. Keeping it aside, and also the worry that He

hardly gets rest,if we see it from a mother's point of view, I don't

pity that He doesn't rest! That's the price He has to pay for His

vAtsalyam.

 

It's like this: a woman just turned a mother. The new

born keeps the mother on its toes. The mother "has to forget" about

sleeping continuously and happily for 6-8 hrs! She only sleeps in

instalment basis. Can we blame the child for that? No. That is the

price a woman has to pay for the motherhood. Moreover it is a

pleasure for the mother to cater to the baby. We always take

liberties with the mother more than the father! Forget about others

then. I would boldly make a statement that "if at all" there is one

relation which expects the least, it is only the mother. That's why

this divya dEsam, than any other DD icluding the bhUlOka vaikuNTam,

gets crowd all the time. Everybody in this world would love a person

who doesn't expect anything in return. We don't want to go near

people who expect something in return. That's the human nature. This

particular perumAL shows that motherly tenderness. A mortal mother

may have a maximum of 12 kids. For Him, everyone is His kid. Can we

then imagine the crowd eager to visit Him.
