GROUP
DISCUSSIONS
When you wait for an aruLich-cheyal
ghOshti or for a puRappADu of perumAL, you can see srEvaishNavites gathering in
groups and batches, discussing.
Though the discussion touches on
external subjects also, by and large it may be observed that the groups
pirmarily discuss on the beauty of the Lord's sAthupaDi or the latest
developments regarding divya-dEsams or regarding the forthcoming utsavams and
timings and so on. This is what I have been observing in thiru-allikEANi.
This holds good in other divya-dEsams also.
In fact, the famous quote in srirangam is
that the Lord stopped His usual procession when it was seen that the
srEvaishNavic gathering got disbursed reverentially on the Almighty's regular
visit.
We mortals, who are having limited
knowledge, discuss in these forums in batches and groups formally and informally
cutting across affiliations, on the subject of the Lord, AzhwAr and the
likes.
Then can we imagine what the bramAdhigaL
who are cherishing and experiencing the attributes of the Lord Almighty will do?
Do they also have such gatherings. Yes! says thirumangai
AzhwAr.
They also gather in groups and batches
with families and relentlessly talk about the auspcious qualities of the
LOrd. This subject matter goes on and on for long, long time and they go on
prattling His attirbutes.
"kuDi kuDiyAga kUDi

We can proudly proclaim that our yahoo
groups discussion falls in this slot.
Perhaps, the contemporary groups
discussion techniques has taken its roots from us. Can we say
so?
