Honey for
Health
It is commonplace to observe doctors
prescribing medicines to be mixed with honey. Honey has taste, sweet, medicinal
effect and health. this asepct as observed by thirujmangai mannan is narrated by
Sri Sadagopan swAmi.
thEn kalantha taNN palam
nuhar taru". 3-1-5
In this line of the Paasuram , Kaliyan
describes as to
what kind of food these connoseiur monkeys were seeking: " thEn kalantha taNN palam nuhar taru". The monkeys were seeking Palaa pazham (jack fruit)to offer as naivEdhyam for the Lord of ThiruvahIndhrapuram , their Kula Dhaivam (Raamachandran) . As the monkeys tore the fruit from the jack fruit tree , the honey also flowed .The monkeys mixed the honey with the sweet edible matter inside the fruit with the rough exterior and offered that delicacy to the Lord prior to partaking of that prasAdham. It is known that the dipping of the fruit in honey will result in a combination that is highly recommended for one's health. The monkeys of ThiruvahIndhrapuram had that in mind , when they prepared their food offering to the Lord.The enjoyment of the Jack fruit suLai with honey is equivalent to the enjoyment of the Lord DhaivanAyakanwith His dear PirAtti , HemAbhja Valli .

swami)
