The Lotus Mind

 

AzvAr-s have likened lotus to the divine eyes of EmperumAn, divne feet and hands.

 

kai vaNNam thAmarai Vai kamalam pOlum...is from Tirumangai AzvAr-s Sri Sookthi.

 

How come the mind is compared to the lotus?

 

In his second pAsuram, svami Nam AzvAr had likened the lotus to the mind

 

manana kamalam aRa ... TiruvAimozhi 1-1-2;

 

மனன கமலம௠அற...திரà¯à®µà®¾à®¯à¯à®®à¯Šà®´à®¿

 

manana kamalam aRa--Bereft of lotus mind - This is meaningless.

 

This results because of pada vichedham

 

It should actually read as

mananaga malam aRA

 

மனனக மலம௠அற

 

The mind devoid of any impurities

 

(As narrated by Sri Tirumanjanam Sundararajan svAmi-years back)

 

dasan

vanamamalai padmanabhan
