Dear srEvaishNavites,
 
            EVER TALKING OF THE WELFARE OF THE LORD
 
AzhwAr's incitement in the final pAsuram of padhigam-s was seen in the preceding post.
 
These may bring out the attracton of material, power or even the elevation to the upper world.
 
I personally feel that the call for being among srEvaishNavites and worshipping the Lord should be put on a different pedestal.
 
However, the pAsuram-s without any such talk in itself should place in the highest pedestal - the exalted stage.
 
 
I find sri periyAzhwAr giving out lot of pAsuram-s dedicated for being among srEvaishNavites.
 
What does the first work -thirup-pallANDu -indicate?
 
 
''pallANdu enRu pavithiranai...
nallANDu enRu navinruraippAr,namO-nArAyaNAya enRu..
pallANDum paramAthmanai sUzhndhirundhu yEAthuvar pallANDEA" thiruppallANDu 12
 
Those who recite this 'thiruppallANDu' or sri vishNu chithan, will get elevated to parama-padham and will always talk of welfare of the Lord, ever-->pallANDum paramAthmanai sUzhndhu irundhu yEAthuvar pallANDEA.
 
It may thus be observed that here the benefit of this thiruppallANDu does not cover any materialistic aspects; It does not give any elevation in births or posts;
 
It does not just elevate one to the upper world.
 
It gives the ultimate. Talking of the welfare of the Lord and that too eternally
 
Does it not then make it in a class of its own?
 
"pallANDum paramAthmanai sUzhndhirundhu YEathuvar pallANDEA'
