Dear Sri Mani, This is an interesting anubhavam you have mentioned. The full pasuram line you have taken is "thirithanthAkilum thEvapirAnudai kariya kOlath thiruvuruk kANban nAn" The meaning here, following the earlier pasurams, is that Madhurakavi Azhvar has surrendered at his acharya's (Nammazhvar's) lotus feet which he considers further/higher than surrendering to the Lord's lotus feet. In order that he reach there, he had to go through the Lord (that is, the Lord had to put him in that path), and so he says that even if he were to leave his acharya's feet ("thirithanthAkilum") and return on that path, he would see nothing but the Lord's wonderous thirumEni. After all, having seen/experienced His great beauty it is impossible to come down to a lower purpose. However, I do like the anubhavam you have mentioned of this line, that it talks about experiencing the beauty and presence of the Lord through association with our acharyas. The vyakyadars for the pasuram have also mentioned that even if Madhurakavi Azhvar were to not want attachment to Him, since his acharya is closely associated with Him, the attachment is automatically there. This is a valuable quality of an acharya. Ana acharya is one who can take to the Lord those who have truly surrendered to the acharya and through the acharya to Him, irrespective of their further qualifications. adiyEn madhurakavi dAsan TCA Venkatesan --- Mani Varadarajan <mani@xxxx> wrote: > So you can experience the > Parabrahman directly > through the presence of such an acharya (kariya-kOla > thiru-uru > kANban nAn). > > aDiyEn rAmAnuja dAsan, > Mani __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
