sama-bOjanam

Present day political parties, to increase their popularity organise food parities and sit alongwith different castes and eat alongwith them. The main witness for this is media. Photographs and videographs are flashed across newspapers and channels and they aim at multiplying their popularity with an eye on the vote bank.

 

Perhpas, the first sama-saha-bOjanam was started by sri chakravarthy thirumagan. He was a king. The royal inheritor of AyOdhyA. A great warrior who had demolished the lankan forces, who had vanquished the demon clan, who has chosen the path of following His father's dictum in word and spirit. One who is in a very high pedestal in whatever angle viewed.

 

Being so, did He overlook hanUmAn because he was son of vAyU? a symbolism of ahankAram- No;

Did He reject thiruvadi though he was not mankind but a from a monkey clan--No;

Did He avoid AnjanEyA desptie the latter being a part of animal category -No;

Did He spurn anjana-putrA in spite of the fact that he was of a different creed--No;

 

What did He do? He overwhelmingly not only accepted Him with pleasure but shared food in the same banana leaf at bharadwAja Ashram.

 

Sri peiryavAchAn piLLai describes this as " ini nAm okka jEvikkak kaDavOAm" - Hereinafter, we shall live together -in thick and thin.

 

Sri AnjanEyA unlike sugrEvA or vibhEshanA did not do service to the Lord with any expectation. This tribute is given to thiruvaDi who is a blessed with blemishless words -kOdhil vAimainAn.

 

Again saulabyam at its pinnacle.

 

"vAdha-mA-magan, markadam,vilangau, maRRoAr sAdhi enRu ozhindhilai; vugandhu kAdhal Adharam kadalinum peruga sei thagavinukku illai kai mARenRu;kOdhil vAimayinodudanEA vuNban enRA oN poruL.." 5-8-2

 

vAdha -mA-magan--- vAyu puthran;markadam-monkey clan; vilangu-animal; maRRoar sAdhi--another creed;

sei thagavu-- Service without expectation;
