DEEMED 1

[Guest guest]

Dear srEvaishNavites,

 

When we were discussing in our professional circles, the topic of deeming

provisions comes up from time to time. What is deeming provision? the impact of

an act or deed is said to have been reached without the act actually been done.

the idea is to avoid circumventing any provision a deeming provision is inserted

in the law. For example, though a comany may actually be a private limited

company, it is deemed to be public if it accepts deposits from public.

 

I was wondering if AzhwAr have at any place used this deeming provision and

indeed they have.

 

Yes PeiryAzhwAr has mentioned this in kaNdam ennum kadinagar pAsuram. The

pAsuram is 'thangaiyai mUkkum, thamayanai thalaiyum.. " periyAzhwAr thiru-mozhi

4-7-11;

 

Sri periyAzhwAr mentions that those who are involved and well versed in these

pAsuram-s are deemed to have taken divine bath in the ganges and doing service

at the feet of the Lord of 'kaNdam ennum kadi-nagar' -dhEva-prayAgai.

'gangayil thirumAl kazhal iNaikkEzhEyEa kuLithirundha kaNakkAmEA'

 

Though a devotee may not have visited or seen this dhivya-dhEsam at all, the

involvement in these pAsuram-s make them reach a stage as if they are doing

service at the feet of the Lord there.

 

They are indeed blessed - A DEEMED LOT.
