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)
