SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama: Dearest All, In the sixth decad, Kulasekara AzhwAr assumes the role of different milk maids (Gopikas) and conveys the feeling of anger caused by the misbehaviour of Krishna with regard to his affairs with other Gopikas. In the words of Milkmaids, AzhwAr complains in this decad. Andal mystic experience is described by some scholars as bridal mysticism. The word bridal is not quite appropriate ? says Sri SMS Chari. Andal was not a mere ordinary human being aspiring for matrimonial union with God in the ordinary sense of marriage. She as an amsam of Bhooma devi represents symbologically the individual soul (Jeevathma) which is inseparably related to God (Paramathman). It is immersed in samsaaris afflictions and is separated from God and it therefore, longs for the reunion or to use the symbolic language, the spiritual marriage with her Beloved Lord. More of it later. Now let us enjoy Kulasekara AzhwAr?s nayaki bhaava verses? 5th verse of the sixth decad. minnottha nuNNitai yaaLaikkoNdu veengiruL vaayenRan veethiyoodE ponnottha vaadaikuk koodalittup pOkinRa pOthun^aan kaNdun^inREn kaNNuR RavaLain^ee kaNNaalittuk kaiviLik kinRathum kaNdEn^inREn ennuk kavaLaivit tinguvanthaay innamaNG kEn^ata nambin^eeyE 6.5 I saw You walking along with the narrow lightning like waisted beautiful Gopika in that dark street of mine, covering yourself and her with the golden cloth to hide; While walking I also saw Your mischievous eyes indicating to another girl across the street to come some other time (with Your hand gesture); Why did You leave that innocent girl and come to me oh Sakala paripoorNaa!
