The impeccable Hospitality-1
varu-virundhai aLithirukkum-siRappudaiya maRaivar
 
What is normal and is expected from every soul, has become commercial, corporate and an industry. Yes, Hospitality industry generates crores and crores in India and elsewhere. This is supposed to clock exponential growth in the current fiscal.
 
Our tradition of course expects us to treat the guests with highest reverence. "athithi dhEvO bhavA!"
 
sri periAzhwAr talks high of the srEvaishNavites who offer their obesience and respects to the guests.
 
"maRaip perum thE valarthiruppAr, varu-virundhai aLithiruppAr
siRappudaiya maRaiyavar vAzh, thiruvarangam enbadhuvEa" periyAzhwAr thiru-mozhi ;4-8-2;
 
These are those who support the srEvaishNavites who reach sri-rangam thiru-mALigaigaL.
These hosts perform -vEdic homam-s regulrly. Alongwith that they also support the srEvaishNavites in their homes. They do this without expecting anything in return.  That is why they are termed as special persons-siRappudaiya maRaiyavar.
 
"adhAvadhu, than-thAm thiru-mAligaiyilEa ezhundharuLIna srEvaishNavargaLai swarUpAnurUpamAga Adharithu, amudhu-seiyap paNnugai. ippadi, vaidhiga anushtaNathaiyum , bhagavath samArAdhanathaiyum , ananya-prayOjanamAgach seigiRavargaLai-
siRappudai maRaiayvar.
 
The main point here to be underlined, is they do not expect anything quid-pro-quo
