Honey for Health

It is commonplace to observe doctors prescribing medicines to be mixed with 
honey. Honey has taste, sweet, medicinal effect and health. this asepct as 
observed by thirujmangai mannan is narrated by Sri Sadagopan swAmi.

thEn kalantha taNN palam nuhar taru". 3-1-5

In this line of the Paasuram , Kaliyan describes as to 
what kind of food these connoseiur monkeys were seeking:
" thEn kalantha taNN palam nuhar taru". The monkeys were
seeking Palaa pazham (jack fruit)to offer as naivEdhyam
for the Lord of ThiruvahIndhrapuram , their Kula Dhaivam
(Raamachandran) . As the monkeys tore the fruit from 
the jack fruit tree , the honey also flowed .The monkeys 
mixed the honey with the sweet edible matter inside 
the fruit with the rough exterior and offered that
delicacy to the Lord prior to partaking of that prasAdham.
It is known that the dipping of the fruit in honey
will result in a combination that is highly recommended
for one's health. The monkeys of ThiruvahIndhrapuram
had that in mind , when they prepared their food offering
to the Lord.The enjoyment of the Jack fruit suLai with
honey is equivalent to the enjoyment of the Lord DhaivanAyakanwith His dear 
PirAtti , HemAbhja Valli .
