sama-bOjanam
kOdhil vAimayinAnoDu
vudanEA vuNban
Present day political parties, to increase
their popularity organise food parities and sit alongwith different castes and
eat alongwith them. The main witness for this is media. Photographs and
videographs are flashed across newspapers and channels and they aim at
multiplying their popularity with an eye on the vote bank.
Perhpas, the first sama-saha-bOjanam was
started by sri chakravarthy thirumagan. He was a king. The royal inheritor of
AyOdhyA. A great warrior who had demolished the lankan forces, who had
vanquished the demon clan, who has chosen the path of following His father's
dictum in word and spirit. One who is in a very high pedestal in whatever angle
viewed.
Being so, did He overlook hanUmAn because
he was son of vAyU? a symbolism of ahankAram- No;
Did He reject thiruvadi though he
was not mankind but a from a monkey clan--No;
Did He avoid AnjanEyA desptie the latter
being a part of animal category -No;
Did He spurn anjana-putrA in spite of the
fact that he was of a different creed--No;
What did He do? He overwhelmingly not only
accepted Him with pleasure but shared food in the same banana leaf at bharadwAja
Ashram.
Sri peiryavAchAn piLLai describes this as
" ini nAm okka jEvikkak kaDavOAm" - Hereinafter, we shall
live together -in thick and thin.
Sri AnjanEyA unlike sugrEvA or vibhEshanA
did not do service to the Lord with any expectation. This tribute is given to
thiruvaDi who is a blessed with blemishless words -kOdhil
vAimainAn.
Again saulabyam at its
pinnacle.
