Dependable
On Whom does one depend on?
-On one who can solve one's
problems.
-On One who is a natural relartive-
nirpAdhika bandhu
-On One who has all the
powers
-On One who has grace and
compassion.
What do we find,
however?
We find people thronging other deities who
are also ordinary souls.
It is synonymous of leaking boats seeking refuge in sinking boats
-pUrvAchAryAs put it thus
"OTTai ODathODu ozhugal
ODam"
Sri thirumangai AzhwAr shows the most
dependable one in whom we can have complete refuge in. In whom we can trust, In
whom we can rest our burden. In whom we can have mahA viswAsam and He is
the Lord at nAdhan kOil and termed by sri
kaliyan as
"namban" -endha
samayathilum nammai kai-vidAn enRu nambudhaRkuriyavan.
In fact it is said that one of the
pancha-grAmam-s now being known as 'namman kuRichi'
gets its name from this Lord and was known as 'namban
kuRichi" as the Almighty was devoutly and divinely taken from
nAdhan kOil to that place and installed-predhistai.
The pAsuram goes as
follows:
'namban vuRaiginRa
nagar, nandhi-pura viNNagaram nannu manamEA'
