Guest guest Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Njanappaana 36 -A Sthaana maanangal cholli kkalhichu Naanam kettu nadakkunnithu chilarMada malsaram chinthichu chinthichu Mathi kettu nadakkunnithu chilarChanchalaakshimaar veeduakalil pukku Kunchi Raamanaai aadunnithu chilarKolakangalil sevakaraayittu Kolam ketti njeliyunnithu chilarSaanthi cheythu pularthuvaanaayittu Sandhyayolam nadakkunnithu chilarAmmaikkum punarchhanum bhaaryakkum Unmaan polum kodukkunnilla chilarAgni saakshini aayoru pathniye Swapnathil polum kaanunnilla chilar Some people walk around shamelessly talking and quarrelling about their status (sthaanam) and pride (maanam) (first two lines). Some people walk around thinking too much about ego (madam) and rivalry (rivalry) and loose their mind (mathi) over that (lines three and four). Some people visit coquettish women's house (chanchalaakshimaar veetukalil pukku) and dance to their tunes like a circus monkey (kunchiramanaai aatunnu). Some people serve in King's palaces and show off ( lines seven and eight). Some people do pooja all day for survival (lines nine and ten). Some people do not even give food or feed own mother, father and wife (lines eleven ans twelve). Some people do not see their wife whom they married with the fire as witness, even in their dream (lines thirteen and fourteen). " Shtaanam " has more than one meaning: title or status or place. " Maanam also has two meanings: pride and measure. Some people are very conscious of their status, title, their birth in a good family etc and do not want to socialize with people whom they think belong to lower status in the society. With undue pride and arrogance they fight with everybody to make the life of themselves and the lives of everybody around miserable. Also fights break out about issues such as what belongs to whom, about how much area of land belongs to one, about the correct and incorrect measurements of different things etc. Finally these immature people when they meet with failures or disappointments or undesirable results, they shamelessly walk around as if nothing has happened. When one becomes proud of his status and accomplishments, arrogance and rivalry also takes birth in his mind. This leads one to act with out the power of discrimination. " mathi " is intelligence which gives a balanced mind. So Poonthaanam says that with arrogance and an attitude of unhealthy competition, one turns off their lamp of intelligence and moves in the darkness of ignorance. Some immature people driven by lust become womanizers and act like circus monkeys dancing to the tune of pretty women. Some others take pride in serving and pleasing the rich kings and landlords and decorate themselves lavishly to express their status. The word " Njeliyunnu " indicates that they forget themselves and show off like a fool. Some other people use prayers, worship and any knowledge they have acquired as a means to make both ends meet. They do pooja, homams and yanjnaas only with the remuneration in mind. They do it like a business for survival. These group of people make Sankaraachaaryar's words meaningful: " udaranimittham bahukrutha vesham " - different outfits to feed the stomach. These people go from house to house doing pooja mechanically from dawn to dusk and with never ending desires negotiate for money and other gifts or Dakshina. The word " shanthi " indicates the job as a priest with fixed income. If the priest is not doing the pooja sincerely, then it is just like any other job for survival. Some priests accepts " shanthi " in several temples and then everything is done in a hurry. Poonthaanam is teasing these type of people in lines nine and ten. Another group of people do not even care for their parents, wife and children. They do not worry about their welfare or feeding them properly with nourishing food. This selfish and irresponsible people make the lives of their families miserable. According to Hindu Dharma, parents are " prathyaksha daivam " or God personified in the form of parents and Poonthaanam says that forgetting that truth is one of the greatest sins. All Hindu marriages are performed with Lord Agni as witness. While taking saptapadi or seven steps with the bride, bridegroom promises: " O dear damsel, by the first step may Lord Vishnu bless us with plenty of food, by the second step with bodily strength, by the third step success in the performance of all vows, by the fourth step happiness, by the fifth step cattle and all other wealth, by the sixth step may all the seasons be favourable to us, by the seventh step may Lord Vishnu bless that we may together perform all the ordained Vedic rites successfully. By taking seven steps with me you have become my most intimate friend and well-wisher. I shall never swerve from this relationship. God has united us. We shall perform all our actions together with mutual love and full faith in each other. We shall always be of one mind. We shall perform all our religious duties together. We are complementary to each other. May we have good progeny and prosperity " (with immense gratitude, I have taken this part from respected S.N Sathriji's Geocities site) It is deplorable to ignore the wife after all these promises one made in front of Agni bhagavan. If they do not take care of their own wife, definitely we can guess what they are up to. " Even in dream they do not think of their wives " indicates the seriousness of the situation. Poonthaanam expressed all these ideas in a teasing or ridiculing way, but he brings the seriousness back by reminding us to chant Bhagavaan's divine naamam so that we will not belong to the above group of people. Nammasankeerthanam will purify our mind and take us far away from these kind of people. Naamasnakeerthanam will bless us with satsangam. Let us chant the divine name of bhagavan along with Shri Poonthaanam and millions of other devotees around the world: Krishna! Krishna! Mukunda! Janaardana! Krishna! Govinda! Naaraayana! Hare! Achyuthaananda! Govinda! Maadhava! Sachidaananda! Naaraayana! Hare!
