Guest guest Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 nampILLai It was seen in the earlier postings swAmi nam-piLLai's commentary was dense with explanations on adjectives, real life examples, real life events, multiple interpretatilons. swAmi used to give precise definitions for general terms : i. in the context of the pAsuram and ii. in srevaishnavic context. In the absence of this, the term is likely to be interpreted in a manner by one and all to ones whims and fancies. A pAsuram in fourth ten will highlight this aspect. " vEdham vallArgaLaik koNdu vinnOar perumAn thiruppAdham paNindhu " thiru voi mozhi 4-6-9; The meaning of the line mentioned is ' The Lord be worshipped through those who are proficient in vEdhAs'. Now a question can be raised? What is proficiency? Does it point to those who are great in recitaion of all the vEdhAs?Or does it indicate who are good at memorising those important vEdhic portions? Or does it indeed signify those who have comprehended the true import of the vEdic menaings? Or does it swAmi nam-piLLai does not take a roundabout in this regard. The definiton is very simple: 'sarvEswaran prApyamum, prApakamum ' enRa vEdha thAthparyam kaikkoNdavargaLaik koNdu'. Those who have comprehended that the Lord is the means and end to attain Him. This has been clearly underlined here as the vEdha thAthparyam, by swAmi nam-piLLai. (to be continued) vanamamalai padmanabhan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
