jEvan Anand
 
thuthilAmaiyil atha ingozhindhu-pOdhuvAi pinnum nam-idaikkEA
 
Life Insurance Corporation of India introduced a policy termed as "jEvan Anand" whereby the insured get the benefits both during his lifetime (survival benefits) and is also assured of sum assured after the death.
 
The double benefits is thus guaranteed under this policy.
 
It is generally presumed that when one desires to attain the Lord's divine feet all other desires wither off. There are exceptions, perhaps.
 
In case of Shri gOvindha-swAmy, a great learned devotee of thiru-vENkatamudaiyAn, when he had the vision of the Almighty the Lord pointed to him that some worldly desires are still lingering on and He guaranteed salvation after he finishes off all such desires in this world and then he can reach Him subsequently.(thOgai mA-mayil annavar inbam, thuthilAmayil atha ingozhindhu)
 
This type of grant of having the desire fulfilled here and the desire of attaining His lotus feet is indeed a double benefit which thirumangai AzhwAr  specifies
 
"mA-maga mAnilam muzhudhum vandhiRainjum malar-adi, kaNDa mA-maRaiyALan,
thOgai mA-mayil annavar inbam, thuthilAmayil atha ingozhindhu, pOdhuvAi pinnum nam-idaikkEa enRA pEAr aruL.."  5-8-5;
