Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Once Again, Please We find in music concerts or other great performances that, when audience are extremely enthralled, they request the performer "Once More, please" This is in ordinary materialistic parlance. How long can this go on? Let us assume that the once more is repeated several times.At one point of time perhaps, the audience will say "Okay, thank you, enough' Is there a performance, where this once more is eternally asked and the performance is eternally satisfying, never getting bored and there is an increasing marginal utility? We mortals, though equipped to cherish great works and performances, cannot and do not get submerged in great things for ever. However, the nithya-sUris who are always immersed in the Lord's auspicious qualities -desire to hear about Lord's kalyANa guNangaL again and again. Where does this happen? For bhagawadh vishayam -thiru-voi-mozhi -of course. Who is the performer? None other than our nam-AzhwAr and who are the souls who are lost in the trance -they are the blessed jEvAthmAs of the upper world. They request swAmi for thiru-voi-mozhi and on hering the kalyANa guNam request again, ask for once more, go for another round and on and on, getting greatly satisfied but never reconciling that the performing can end. They get submerged in the Lord's sEla guNam the krshNa thrishNA thathvam, the magnum opus thiru-voi-mozhi. EDu : "innam sol;innam sol-ennum ithanai pOkki, kEATTa amsathilE thrupthi piRavArgaLiReA;bhagawath vishayathai anubavithu adhaRku pOkku vEdAi pAsuram-inRikkEA, vimmal-porumalAi irupppavargaL-ippAsuram kEATTAl vidArgaLiREA: 'Once more, once more - is their plea. When experincing the Lord's qulities, they do not have enough outlet like narrating the experinece and when they get such wonderful pAsuram-s minutely depciting His sEla guNam-s, will they leave?' Which is the pAsuram --thiruvATTARu thiru-voi-mozhi 10-6 and who has narrated this incident-Sri nam-AzhwAr himself. 'kATTith than kaNai kazhalgaL -kadu naragam pugal ozhitha, vATTARRem-perumAnai -vaLam kurugUr satakOpan, pATTAya thamizh mAlai Ayirathip pathum kEATTu, ArAr vAnavargaL -sevikkiniya senjollEa" 10-6-11; kEATTu, ArAr vAnavargaL -sevikkiniya senjollEa dAsan vanamamalai padmanabhan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
