Role Model

 

andhanan oruvan

 

One should lead by example. The example should be a role model.

 

The term 'oruvan' indicates a unique person in a high pedestal, with high qualities, proficient in the field -to be followed- a paragon,-a role model.

 

When thiru-mangai AzhwAr talks of andhanan oruvan-the vyAkyAna-karthA sri periya-vAchAn piLLai, inter-alia describes the primary qualities of an andhanan to be termed as "oruvan"

 

These are:

 

- Expertise in dhvayam;(rahasyArthagaL)

- Proficient in idhihAsa-purANam.

- Specialisatin in nyAya-mEmAmsai

- Spending one's life and time with aruLich-cheyal, day in and day out.
