Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

One time Nanjeeyar asked Bhattar "A chetana performs 
surrender to the Lord and the Lord gives the reward
to the chetana. Why does the chetana need to seek
Sri Mahalakshmi for mediation?"

Bhattar replied "Have you not seen Azhvar's pasuram
'nALum nam thiruvudaiyadigaL tham nalangkazhal 
vaNangi" (Thiruvaymozhi 1-3-8)? When a chetana 
surrenders to the Lord, He might still get angry
with him due to his many sins. Ignoring his sins and
protecting him in Her shadow, it is thAyAr who brings
him in front of the Lord at the appropriate time, 
then mediates on his behalf to the Lord and helps
him gain salvation. This is why, She has to be seeked
first".

Azhvar Emberumanar Jeeyar Thiruvadigale Sharanam
