The Story of Tondar-adipOdi: Conquest of ?kaama?
------------------------------------------------
through Reduction (?unification?) of Desire --
----------------------------------------------
?karma yOga? (continued from Part 20)
----------
The story of Vipranarayana's transformation from a
complete moral wreck back once again to the state of a
redeemed and rejuvenated saint is a truly miraculous
story indeed. It is a story about how the AzhwAr was
led astray by one "kaama" too many; and how when the
other "kaama" was eventually restored to a righteous
unity, Vipranarayana re-discovered his true passion,
his one true "kaama" in life -- all the love and
devotion he had always nurtured in his heart for the
Deity of SriRangam. It is a poignant story-line quite
redolent of the leitmotif of the TiruppAvai captured
in that single magnificent line: "maRRai nam kaamangaL
maaRRu".
