[Guruvayur/Guruvayoor] Pancha Vadyam - A Humble Request to Ponder over

[Guest guest]

HARI AUM

 

Shree NB Nairji,

 

A very good 'out of box' thinking. Using elephants for

festival might have had some reasons. If those have

become redundant a change is necessary.

 

Please do send the 'thought' to different Devaswom

sites.Sow the seed and leave the rest to 'him'.

 

Regards

 

Balagopal

Dear NBji,

Radhe Krishna!

 

I think you still remember my defence of the poor pachyderms during the

Thrissur Pooram hot sunny days and your kind rejoinder. In lighter

vein, I think the Panchavadyam is played with the animals in the

background and the listeners also along with the players in front of

the poor animals.. One favour the Lord has done is to make the

elephants take a right-about -turn and run in the opposite direction,

if they revolt. We should be thankful to Guruvayoorappan for that !.

HARI AUM

Yesterday

there was a very informative talk detailing the intricacies involved in

Pancha

Vadyam – how the devotees listening to it (listening to it with

devotion) are slowly,

step by step, brought in tune with the Rhythm of Nature!

This programme was

under "Paitrikam" in DD-4 Thursday evening. It was very good in many

ways by a

very learned Devotee. However, then in the background, as usual, a row

of

caparisoned elephants were shown.

 

Though

Pancha Vadyam is a very rich traditional item that we humans do enjoy

it is a

real torture for these poor ("Panch Papavangal" – as described by that

learned

speaker) creatures who by nature like quiet environments. We

don't need the company of any animals to

enjoy a Bhajan or a Music Concert. Then,

can we not enjoy the Pancha Vadyam too with out these creatures?

Can we

not avoid these "cruelties to animals" from our traditions?

A

very humble request to ponder on with no offence to

any one pl. NB Nair.
