Relatives are like us ? What about Other Deities?

Other Devatas:

All the relationships on this earth come only till the lifespan. There are some 
souls, devatas that have been vested with fulfilling certain wishes. These 
devatas can be invoked by proper yAgams by offering certain dravyams to them. 
Vayu can amass lot of wealth for one. Similarly, agni is supposed to lead 
anyone by taking things forward. Now, PL continues with the same question 
answer session kind of narration in explaining how these devatas also cannot 
protect us.

Sun and Moon

ivargallelum rakshakargal agamAttagayAl nAttaaru kannai irukkum surya 
chandrargal pakkal kurai en?

PL posts a question as an analysis starting point by saying that the 
relationships fail to protect us, but sun and moon are glowing in day and night 
respectively to give light and cool ambience. What is the kurai in them?

He himself answers that:

ennil chandra suryarkal SarvEswaranuuku kattupattavargal

Sunlight is the main source of energy for any activity on earth. Lots of 
scientific actions revolve around sunrise and sunset. Infact, the entire span 
from sun rise to sun set is divided into 5 periods for carrying out various 
activities. Similarly, moon gives cool light in the night. It soothens one 
after a tiresome day. The key point here is that the rising and setting time 
and their motion are not under their control, but under the control of Perumal. 
An incident in Mahabharata is an example for this aspect.

In order to protect Pandavas, Krishna advanced the amAvAsyA by oneday from the 
actual date that Sahadeva had reccommended to the Kauravas. Seeing Krishna 
performing tharpanam, sun and moon came and stood before him for justification. 
Krishna rightly answered them that He was correct because both sun and moon 
were together that itme so that one's shadow fell on the other. 

Hence, it could be concluded that even sun and moon are under the control of 
Perumal, and so they cannot protect us completely.

Let us continue with the case of Indra in the next posting.

aDiyEn,
ramanan
