SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya nama: Dearest all, Kulasekara AzhwAr says that his mind will ever be blessed to have love and affection and have highest regards for the bhAgawathas of Srirangam. One should never ever commit any offence towards BhAgawatha. An unfriendly disposition or hatred towards devotee amounts of an offence to a bhAgawatha and is termed as BhAgawatha apachara. Thus, in a technical sense, kainkaryam refers to the assistance rendered with devotion to the bhAgawatha in the form of manual services, providing food, clothing, shelter, and helping him in other ways to carry on his religious activities / duties. A service rendered to one?s acharyan is the highest form of bhAgawatha kainkarya and in fact noblest ?says Sri SMS Chari in his book on Vaishnavism. Now let us enjoy the verse: aathiyanthama NnanthamaRputham aanavaanavar thampiraan paathamaamalar soodumpaththiyi laathapaavika Luynthita theethiln^anneri kaattiyengum thirintharanganem maanukkE kaathalseythoNdark keppiRappilum kaathalseyyumen NnencamE 2.6 The Lord Sriman Narayanan is Jagath kaaraNa bhoothan; He is Jagath rakshakan; even during the Cosmic dissolution, He would protect us and stay as youthful as ever; Sarva vyApakan (manifests everywhere and in everything, (within and outside); The most wonderful one (ascharya bhoothan); the chief of Nithyasuris; He is the Lord Sri Ranganathan. He resides on this earth to save even those who are devoid of bhathi towards Him and transform them slowly and steadily to make them adorn their heads (ultimately) the lotus feet of Sriranganathan. The blemishless devotees of Lord Ranganathan shows the way and adheres to the anushtAnam, the faultless code of conduct in their lives and are the role models for the whole world (mElayaar seyvanagaL) and are deeply devotes to the Lord of Srirangam. My mind will always be thinking of these devotees (bhAgwathas) and will always be in love with and reverence towards them in all my future births..
