Guest guest Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Longer than the Longest It is said that hit a person where it pains most. If a person has wealth, if the wealth vanishes, he feels bad. Theoritically we humangs have a longevity of 120 years. However, for dhEvas our one year is one day for them. Like this several years of dhEvA-s is the longevity of brahmA. It takes yugA-s for one brahmA to complete his lifecycle. Hence, his life cycle is the longest among all. He was haughty regarding this. With thinking that nobody has got longer life-span than his, he had a bloated ego. Hence, to blow off hisgo the best thing is to look for a person who has longer life-span, the Lord gave a boon. the event is as follows: 'rOmasA' was a rishi. He spent long years of worhsip towards sriman nArAyaNA. When the Lord appeared in frontof Him, he requested for long life span of several brahmAs. The name of this rishi came from the fact that he had lot of hairs in his body. the Lord blessed him " after each brahamA life -one hair will fall from your body. After all the hair falls, your life will come to an end.'. Thus he was given the longer life longer than the longest of brahmA and 'brahmA-s' ego was thus bloated. This aspect is briefly narrated in the second pAsuram of kAzhich sErAma viNNagaram divya-dEsam. " nAnumugan, nAL migai, tharukkai irukku vAi mai, nala-migu-sEr vurOmasanAl naviRri... " 3-4-2 That is LONGER THAN THE LONGEST rAmAnuja dAsan vanamamalai padmanabhan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
