Subject: RE: Prapanna ParithrANam

Are the close relatives our saviours or it is Him, as always?

pakkalilum kAnalaam

Mother:

Swamy PL clearly highlights Kaikeyi in the case scenario where even a mother 
cannot protect her son. Kaikeyi was the one who commanded Rama through 
Dasaratha to go on exile. She also requested Dasaratha to make Bharata the king 
of Ayodhya. Bharatan's vaibhavam in Ramayanam is even more than that of 
Lakshmanan and Raman in some instances. Rama was the most dearest son of 
Dasaratha. He always used to concern about his father's happiness. On the 
otherhand, Dasaratha always used to concern about Rama and his happiness. 
Azhwars also were in the same state with Perumal. They used ot joyously sing on 
Perumal with parivu, and infact pongum parivu (PeriyAzhwar) whereas Perumal 
used to worry more about Azhwars' happiness.

Rama though was an AgyAkAri putram, still was not able to satisfy Dasarathan as 
he did not bother about himself. In this aspect Dasaratha used to be proud of 
Lakshmana as Lakhmana used to completely take care of Rama. Lakshmana showed 
complete ShEshatvam to Rama. Bharata's  vaibhavam is much more than this one. 
He showed complete pAratantra jnAnam. He behaved like an object without life in 
front of Rama. He was ready to do whatever Rama commanded. At one point of time 
in Ramayana, he said that "rAjyamum, naanum Ramanukku sondham". He combined 
both the life-less object and himself in the above statement. 

Kaikeyi was supposed to have facilitated ishta prApti and anishta nivrutti for 
her son. Instead she acted the other way. Ishta prApti refers to the means to 
nitya kaimkaryam where as anishta nivrutti refers to eliminating the obstacles 
in the way of attaining nitya kaimkaryam. Considering the vaibhavam of Bharata, 
even the son of that calibre was not protected by his mother.
"PeRRa thAyinum Ayina seiyyum..." 1-1-9 of Periya ThriuMozhi

Father:

The story of Prahalada is well known to everyone. He was tortured by all means 
to recite Hiranya's name instead of Narayana mantram. Again, a son of the 
calibre of Prahalada who showed complete bhakti on Perumal was not protected by 
his father.

Husband:

sthrIgalukku bharthaakkal rakshakargal illai enbathai dharma putrargal 
pakkalilum nalan pakkalilum kAnalaam

When pandavas went for the game of dice with kauravas, they lost everything. 
During that time, Dharmaputra did not wan to accept the defeat. He wrongly 
perceived Draupadi as his property and gambled with her. Eventually they lost 
the game and Draupadi was ill-treated by kauravas before she was protected by 
Krishna when she surrendered to Him.

Nalan was a great king. Due to some reason he had lost a war with the king of 
another desam, and had to leave the entire kingdom to him. One night, he and 
his wife were staying in a chowtry. Naln was very much disturbed and was not 
able to sleep properly. He thought that he will no longer be able to protect 
his life, and hence left her alone. Later he became a charioteer for a king. 
His made his wife to leave in dire circumstances. He showed her the path to her 
parents' house, thus leaving her is distress -neRi kATTi nEkkudhiyOA! Periya 
ThriuvandhAdhi -6;

PL has clearly highlighted examples of how all the close relations fail to 
protect a soul. Infact in all the cases, only Perumal has protected these souls 
finally. Let us look into the aspect of how other devatas also fail to protect 
a soul in the following postings.

aDiyEn,
ramanan
