LIFTING OR PIERCING THE ARCHA VEIL

 

The corporate rules bring forth exceptions to the rule that the company form of

organization is limited liability one. There are a few exceptions where this

general rule is pierced and the corporate veil is lifted.

 

The archa: (vigraha) form of God is epitome of auspicious qualities but has got

His own restrictions. Being supportive to one and all He expects everything from

us. Being, life for us, He appears inanimate expecting our actions for His

sustenance.

 

Being full of compassion He settles down in our desired form of archa:

(vigraha). Never does He move out of this form. He places Himself at our

control, at our whims and fancies, virtually at our mercy -in a reversal of

roles-thattu ma:rik kidakkum.

 

There have been more than several instances of this archa: breaking out His

silence, moving out of this image, the image of anonymity, the image of staunch

silence.

 

It is well known that De:va:thiraja of kanchi was in regular talking terms with

our Fanning Glory Acharya Sri Thirukachi Nambi. The emergence of the six

commandments or the popular 'Aru va:rthai' is a testimony of this.

 

Sri Thriukudanthai a:ra:vamudhan's zest towards Thirumazhisaip pira:n is well

known that it seems He tried to get up from His archa: recline only to be rested

back in a different posture - Azva:r reassuring Him to talk to him in a slanting

pose.-kidanthava:ru ezhundhirundu pe:a:su -va:zhi ke:sane:a.

 

We have also read about The yatho:thaka:ri PeurmAL dancing to the tunes of

Thriumazisai a:zva:r.

 

Sri Thiruvenkatamudaiya:n is also known to have talked to Sri Anantha:zva:n and

also to Thondama:n chakravarthi.

 

Sri Rangana:tha -the bundle of vyu:ha sauha:rtham- whose predominant purpose in

this world is welfare of the souls, is said to have essayed repeatedly to peep

outside the sanctum sanctorum and walk out of His archa: form, being immensely

attracted towards the unceasing sweet downpour of e:du from none other than the

visathva:k siga:mani -the soul who spread out the e:du-e:ttup perukkar.

 

However, Sri Ranganatha (Peirya Peruma:l) was time and again reminded by

Thiru-ViLakku pichan that He should not pierce the archa veil.

 

Notwithstanding these restrictions, Sri Rangana:tha came out of this, in the

form of a small boy and showered praise on His A:cha:rya Sri Manava:la Ma:muni

 

'Sri SailEsa Daya pAthram...''

 

Yes, the Words of Periya Jeeyar Swamiji moved even the archa, the Lord of

Paramapadham, Sri Rangana:tha. The Lord whose self imposed restrictions

shattered on this day, the peeps, the attempts of walk outs, the occasional

indulgences, transformed into a sweet divine radiant countenanced kid,

 

this Day of a:ni mu:lam.

 

The words lifted the archa veil culminating into the great thaniyan, the divne

one from the divine mouth of God HImself
