 VIDHI



It is common to observe people to utter the word "ellam en vidhi" -'It is all 
my fate' when some misfortune strikes them. In common parlance, thus it is seen 
that ill-luck or unfortunate incident is attributed to one's 'vidhi'.

What does swAmi nam-AzhwAr say in this regard? He also mentions that 'vidhi' 
-fate- is a factor which cannot be stopped by us. 
"edhu thavirkka mudiyAdhOA" adhu 'vidhi'. However, he generally uses this word 
in the good sense in complete contrast to the common sense of ill-luck or 
misfortune.

In the fifth ten of thriu-voi-mozhi first pAsuram 

"kaiAr chakkarathu.....
vidhi vAikkinRu kAppAr Ar..." 5-1-1;

Here, AzhwAr mentions, the immnese grace of the Lord has befallen me. Who can 
save me from this? I have been feigning affection towards the Lord. His grace 
has fallen on me- vidhi vAikkinRu kAppAr Ar? -

EDU:

"ivar vidhi engiRadhu bhagavath krpaiyai. adhukkadi, avanAl thappavoNNAdhapadi 
irukkaiyAlEA" 
Here 'vidhi' is meant as the Grace of the Lord. That is because, nobody can 
escape from His action.
