Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: Dear devotees, Kanchipuram is indeed known for kodai azhagu. The kodai is taken to be kudai - the umbrella - by many. And who can dispute them, after seeing the magnificent kudai's of Deva Perumal during the vaiyam kaNda vaikAsith thirunAL - Garuda Sevai. However, can't we take the kodai as kodai itself? That is, the act of giving and giving ... Is He not Varadarajan in Kanchi? He came through the fire of Brahma's yAga and the effect of that is seen in His thirumEni even today. Thus, He sacrificed Himself for the sake of His devotee. However, as Sri Ramanan pointed out, the height of His thyAgam was in giving up Ramanuja. It is for this that Kanchi is known as thyAga maNdapam. Only Varadarajan could be pEraruLALan after that. Hence, the beauty we see in Kanchi is not just kudai azhagu, but also kodai azhagu. adiyEn madhurakavi dAsan --- divya ramanan <divyaramanan@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Like how NamPerumAl is known for nadai azhagu, > DevaPerumAl is known for his Kodai azhagu.
