The Story of Tondar-adipOdi: Conquest of ?kaama? ------------------------------------------------ through Reduction (?unification?) of Desire -- ---------------------------------------------- ?karma yOga? (continued from Part 20) ---------- The story of Vipranarayana's transformation from a complete moral wreck back once again to the state of a redeemed and rejuvenated saint is a truly miraculous story indeed. It is a story about how the AzhwAr was led astray by one "kaama" too many; and how when the other "kaama" was eventually restored to a righteous unity, Vipranarayana re-discovered his true passion, his one true "kaama" in life -- all the love and devotion he had always nurtured in his heart for the Deity of SriRangam. It is a poignant story-line quite redolent of the leitmotif of the TiruppAvai captured in that single magnificent line: "maRRai nam kaamangaL maaRRu". ************* __________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
