Guest guest Posted December 24, 2002 Report Share Posted December 24, 2002 The following passage explains the tattva (principle/spirit/philosophy) of true devotion. Kannappa Nayanar, a great devotee of Lord Siva, a hunter by profession, did Abhisheka with the water in his mouth for the Linga at Kalahasti in South India and propitiated Lord Siva. Lord Siva is pleased by pure devotion. It is the mental Bhava that counts and not the outward show. Lord Siva said to the temple priest: “This water from the mouth of Kannappa, my beloved devotee, is more pure than the water of the Ganga”. Jai Guru Datta! ______________________________ The centipede was happy quite until a bird said, in fun, "Which foot goes after which?"
