Guest guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 NAraNan tham annai naragam pugAL Mothers think of naming their children in the name of some deities, which may result in temporary wealth or for some minor pecuniary gains. AzvAr says- it is better to go begging rather than think of name other than EmperumAn. What is in a name ? one may wonder. AjAmiLan and kshathrabandhu had the postive effect of the thriunamam. The divine name comes to our resuce though He is not nearby. 'avan dhUrasthan AnAlum idhu kitti ninRu vudhavum' ThirunAmam will rescue us from close quarters. 'dhraupadhikku Abathil puDavai surandhadhu thriunAmam iREa" This ThirunAmam rescued Draupadhi in distress. These are the divine words from MumUkshuppadi, underscoring the efficacy of ThriunAmam. Such is the greatness of The Divine name of EmperumAn. Therefore PeriyAzvAr prescribes naming the children with His name. GovindhA, nAraNA, kEsavA,SridhArA,MAdhavA,DhamOdharA, kaNNan are some of the names he suggests explicitly. The mothers would be exonerted from entering hell by this path. Yes, let the mothers enjoy by glossing the mortal ones stcuk with impurities,with His divine name.

This will take care of providence. This insures them from not entering the hell. This guarantees them from The mother will not enter hell-reiterates periyAzvAr in each pAsuram-s. nAranan tham annai naragam pugAL. nAthagu nAraNan tham annai naragam pugAL. nalamudai nAraNan tham annai naragam pugAL 4-6 of PeriyAzvAr Thirumozhi dasan vanamamalai padmanabhan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
