The Mystery of The
Mistaken Identity
There have been cases of mistaken identity
in our spiritual arena. Even blessed ones like AzvAr- s and AchAryAs have
succumbed to this identity conundrum.
Tirumangai AzvAr is so submerged in the
beauty of The Lord Almighty of AshtA bhUham EmperumAn and wonders -Who could it
be? (nAnivar thammai aRiya mATTEAn-
àààà ààà ààààààààà àààà àààààààà-àààààà àààà! 2-9 of Periya Tirumozhi-ààààà
àààààààà)
As a mother ParakAla nAyaki does not know
the exact identity of the youth who takes away her child-kaLvan kol! yAn
aRiyEAn- ( kariyAn oru kALai vandhu-àààààà àààà àààà ààààààà-ààààààà ààà àààà àààààà.à-à-à-2-8-1 of
Periya Tirumozhi )
ParakAla
nAyaki again is a bit puzzled on seeing EmperumAn with Divine conch and
sArngam (innAR enRu aRiyEan..ààààààà ààààààààààà
ààààà ààààààààà.-à0-à0-à-10-10-9 of Periya Tirumozhi) and
does not know who it is !
svAmi Nam AzvAr used to deem highest
respect on seeing the vertical mark on the forehead, irrespective of their
actual identity,presuming them to be SrivAishNavites ( nIRu sevvEA idak kANil nedumAL adiyAr enRu.-.àààà àààààà àààà
àààààà àààààààà ààààààà ààààààààà -à-à-à 4-4-7 of TiruvAimozhi-)
,
AzhvAr-s are full of devotion and blessed
ones. AchAryas have wonderful knowledge. Despite this fact, they have fallen
into this mistaken identity.
More mysterious is the fact, that Kaliyan
thinks himself as the Lord of Tirumalai descending at TirukkaNNapuram (vadavarai
ninRum vandhu inRu kaNapuram-àààààà
àààààààà ààààà -ààààà ààààààààà à-à-à -8-2-6 of Periya
Tirumozhi)
Is it not surprising to note that the most
blessed souls and possessed with immense knowledge souls mistaking the
identities and not able to recognize? What can be the
reasons?
Let us see a few instances
and reasons..
