Sarcasm at its
height
vAzhnDhEa pOm!
nErEA
What do we do when on a visit to the
temple and the temple is closed/ The general practice is to try to approach the
bhaTTAchAr and request him to open the sannidhi or wait till the regular
time of the opening of the temple.
Our thirumangai mannan becomes very
sensitive. He feels that the closure of the temple is denial by the Lord to
grant Him the vision of the Lord Almighty. He takes it to the heart. He chides
the Lord and teases Him.The sarcasm is typical of thirumangai mannan and the
vUDal pAsuram is unique.
He says "aDiyEan is a
jEvathmA always at your service; always at your footsteps; You are not an
ordinary deity; You are the Supreme Being; You are full of knowledge and
power;
Despite this what has
happened? I am denied the vision of yours. I have not even had a glimpse
of YOu, Oh!Lord majestically doing the Divine Walk. What a pity? You know
everything; You have got all the powers; However, you have placed me one among
the ordinary devotees;
You do not know the subtle
difference.
Oh! the Lord of indhaLUr--
Let it Be so. Be Blessed. Let you live fand get on.
The thoughts of thirumangai mannan gets
excellently coined into the indhaLUr thiru-mozhi "nummaith
thozhudhOAm"
'vAsi vallEr
indhaLUrEr, vAzhndhEa pOm nErEA"
What are the
thoughts:
"
Is there an
eligibility crieria to get the divine vision of You. Do you consider me an
ordinary being and therefore deny this vision? We were all along thinking that
You had indeed descended to thiru-indhaLUr to give divine vision to souls like
us. But what actually happens? Here also You appear to be restricting with
crietria?
The divien thirumEani of
yours is to be enjoyed and cherished by aDiyArs. Unfortunately, we are not
getting this. Therefore, oh! Dear indhaLUr Lord, You Yourself be with Your
divine thirumEani and enjoy."
