{Disarmed} Tuesday A correction

[Guest guest]

As there was an error, adiyen is adding a correction.

 

Sri:

Whether Nammalwar was born on tuesday is the question. But here is a

shloka

which says Nammalwar was born on a Friday.

 

"rAdhE kalErvAsara Eva rAdhE mAsE vishAkhE mahanIya thArE ;

shukrasya vArE ajani vishwatithyAM parAnkushO ayam bhagavAn kuLIrE"

 

Meaning:

On the 42nd (rAdhA) day of kaliyuga, in vaishAkha (rAdhA) masa, in the

esteemed vishAkhA star, on Friday, on the chaturdashi (vishwa) tithi, or

the fourteenth day, eve of PourNami, in karkATaka lagna (kuLIra) bhagavAn

parAnkusha was born.

Nammalwar is said to have regretted not being born just one week before

"oru chev vai munnaal pirandilomE" which would have given rise to the

thought that Nammalwar was born on Tuesday.

THE TUESDAY PHENOMENON

 

Some say that 'tuesday' is auspicious as it is 'mangaLa vAram'.

Howevers, some others do not prefer as it is ruled by malefic mars-sevvAi.

 

For us, srevaishNavites, it is a day of rejoicing as it it this day

SvAmi Nam AzvAr desended into this mother earth.

The magnum opus tiru-vaimozhi and the relted vyakyanam-s followed by the

juicy AchArya Hrdhayam can all be traced to the source as this day

tuesday.

 

Then, shall we promulgate

"For all purposes and intents, hereinafter, tuesday shall be the day of

rejoicing, a mark of clebration and open for all auspicious events"

 

Yes.Would be the logical answer.

 

Going a bit further into this, let us see what AzvAr felt on his birth.

He felt very bad that he had missed Sri KrshNA by a week's time. This gave

him a

lasting misery. This coslty siip between the cup and the slip rendered

him frustrated.

'pallilEa pattuth theRithAR pOle' says Sri Nam-piLLai.

 

A week had elapsed since Sri KrhsNA decided to ascend to thannudaich

sOdhi. 'Oh! had i been here a few days back, I would have had His divine

vision'

rued Sri Nam-AzvAr -the krhsNA thrshNA thathvam-the manifestation of

love for sri KrshNA.

 

In this light, tuesday though very good for us, for AzvAr , it rendered

a lasting misery. a lifelong feeling of miss.

 

Should we then celebrate of AzvAr's arrival or feel for Azvar's

dis-appointment?
