archAvathAram
 
The Almighty tucks Himself into the confines of the ArchA veil. Seldom He pierces the veil of the archAvathAram. The fact that He supports all the jEvAthmAs, He is the omni-potent, the omni-present is all the more surprising that the Lord descends into the archAvathAram for our sake. For our upliftment, for our accessibility.
 
This is what Sri piLLai lOkachAryAr clearly summarises in the final sUthram of thathvathrayam Eswarap praharaNam
 
"swas-swAmi bhAvathai mARADi kONdu,agjaraip pOlEyum, asaktharaip pOlEyum,a-svathanthraraip pOlEyum, irukkach seidhEayum, abAra kAruNya paravasanAik koNdu sarvAbEkshidhangaLaiyum kodutharuLum"
 
Reversing the role of supremacy, the Lord resides inside the archAvathAram like an ignorant , like one who cannot do anything, like one who does not have independance-depending on us. However, Out of Grace He bestows us all our requirements/ requests."
 
What a great magnanimity.
 
In spite of being restricting Himself into the archA veil the Lord has in fact, out of boundless mercy and magnanimity has lifted and pierced the archA veil many a times. Let us go through a few instances.
 
When nam-perumAL was on the routine rounds in the precints of the kOil, the srEvaishNavites who had gathered to discuss His kalyANa guNangaL dispersed as nam-perumAL approached. The Almighty immediately declared that if His routine is going to dissolve the expreiences among the devotees, His procession would stand cancelled.
 
Sri thiruvENkatamudaiyAn on blessing Sri gOvindha-swAmy -an ardent devotee- observed lingering attachment, on the latter's part, worldly pleasures. Hence, He ordained  gOvindhaswAmy to happily fulfill all the pleasures in this world and He shall reach Him thereafter.
 
The sacrifices of Sri pEAr aruLaLan of sri rAmAnujA for the sake of dharisanam is well known. His six divine sermon-ARu vArthai-was the guiding beacon to our udayavar.
 
The action of yathOthakArE perumAL is incomprehnsible in the sense that He rolled out His bed and walked behind Sri thirumazhisaip pirAN back and forth and got the divine name of 'sonna vaNNam seidha perumAL'
 
In which class can all these deeds of the archA Lord who generally does not berak the archA wall- piercing the veil, be categorised but under the Head -Magnanimity.
