The Fifth Ten

Lord of the Lords-dheiva nAyakan

 

 

" dhEsa kAla dhOsham pOga engumidam koNdavargaLai mEavith thozhudhu ujjEviyingOL,

nEngaL niRuthugiRavargaLai dhEvathaigaLAga niRuthinavanai.... "

 

Summary: The hindrances, obstacles and problmes are created by the defects

plaguing this world. What are these defects? The disease which eat away the

life, the hunger, enemity, and other bad things, all of which remove peace of

mind and torment one and all. These are termed as 'dhEsa dhOsham'

 

Similarly, the problems associated with certain period- kali kAlam--which make

things varied from their normal sense and attribute and result in illusion and

illiteracy. These are termed as 'kAla dhOsham'.

 

How to escape from these deficiencies associated with the place and period which

create a lasting negative impact?

 

Approach and surrender unto the Lord Almighty without expecting anything

quid-pro-quo -in exchange

 

Who is this Lord Almighty?

 

He is the prime-entity who has posted deities at various places akin to a king

deputing his servants. " Oh!. souls all of you, out of ignorance approach these

deities, who have been actually installed by the Lord. Approach this Lord

Almighty who has assigned these posts to these deities.Out of your ignorance and

shyness you are still acknowledging these deities as God. Hence, Surrender unto

Him " is the ultimate advice by swAmi nam- AzhwAr.

pAsuram-s:

 

The dhEsa dhOsham-s mentioned above are : disease which torment and eat away the

life,

enemity, hunger and other bad effects.

 

" konRu vuyir uNNum visAdhi, pagai, pasi, thEyana ellAm, ninRu ivvulagil

kadivAn... " --> thiru voi mozhi 5-2-6; visAdhi-vyAdhi=disease; pagai-enemity;

pasi=hunger; thEyana ellAm-- All bad things. The Lord will remove all these.

 

" kaliyum kedum kaNdu koNmin " ---> thiru voi mozhi 5-2-1--> The kAla dhOsham - The

kali- will also be decimated by the Lord's Grace.

 

To escape from the effects of these, surrender unto the Lord.

 

" mEavith thozhudhu vuyminErgaL' ---> thiru voi mozhi 5-2-9---> Approach Him

and survive.

 

" niRuthinAn dheivangaLAga ath theiva nAyakan thAnEa " --thiru voi mozhi 5-2-8--->

He is the Almighty who has posted smaller deities but oh! souls, you apporach

these as the god. Only, the Lord Almighty can rescue. He has deputed these

similar to a king assigning roles to his servants. " hence, oh! souls, realise

that these are not god but smaller deities installed by the Lord Almighty.

Surrender unto Him and get yourself rescued' is the counsel by swAmi nam-AzhwAr.

 

He is the Lord of the Lords- dheiva nAyakan.
