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 ,

siRappudai
maRaiayvar.
The main point here
to be underlined, is they do not expect anything
quid-pro-quo
