The Lotus Mind
 
AzvAr-s have likened lotus to the divine eyes of EmperumAn, divne feet and hands.
 
kai vaNNam thAmarai Vai kamalam pOlum...is from  Tirumangai AzvAr-s Sri Sookthi.
 
How come the mind is compared to the lotus?
 
In his second pAsuram, svami Nam AzvAr had likened the lotus to the mind
 
manana kamalam aRa ... TiruvAimozhi 1-1-2;
 
ààà ààààà àà...àààààààààààà
 
manana kamalam aRa--Bereft of lotus mind - This is meaningless.
 
This results because of pada vichedham
 
It should actually read as
mananaga malam aRA
 
àààà àààà àà
 
The mind devoid of any impurities
 
(As narrated by Sri Tirumanjanam Sundararajan svAmi-years back)
 
dasan
vanamamalai padmanabhan
