And Now The Perfect Ending For The Perfect Love Story!

Sridhar,
A very perfect ending, indeed...
I am on my way to read all the ten paasurams of Thiruppanaazhwar...
No words to express my feelings about the Divya saritham of Thiruppaanazhwar and also for you bringing such stories amidst us...

Dear Pushpavalli,
Thanks for coming here to bless me and this thread. And thanks for those great words. After having written a number of human love stories, and after having read and heard quite a lot of divine love stories, the one inescapable conclusion I have is that love is divine, whether it is for God or human beings. I think you know about Madhurakavi Azhwar. Lord Vishnu himself offers to appear before him. But Madhurakavi told Him that he was not keen. And that he only wanted to see his Guru, Nammazhwar. And what adds beauty to this story is that Nammazhwar is far younger to Madhurakavi. While Madhurakavi belonged to the highest caste, Nammazhwar's caste was several rungs below him
Thanks once again for invoking God's blessings on my behalf.
love,

Dear Lalitha,

Came back today again. Yesterday, I was feeling sort of depressed, I was thinking what is this I am heading nowhere etc etc and I logged into IL and came to your narration.

That kind of depression, a feeling that we are going nowhere is a very healthy sign. My psychiatrist friend tells me that if someone is depressed and he is conscious of it, then that itself is a blessing. Because being aware of the depression is the first step towards healing and progress.
If it should be of any consolation to you, I have also gone through that phase many times.
Even yesterday when the Favouritism thread was rocking IL, I felt depressed. From the fb I get in my forum I knew there are quite a few people who like my writings. But from that favouritism thread I came to know that there are many, many who are not interested in my writings. That was a jolt for me. I am yet to find out what lesson SHE wants me to learn in this. I am just keeping my fingers crossed.

After reading this, suddenly I got a jerk and I felt cha.. what am I brooding sitting here, God has given such a precious life so that we can read these kind of love stories. I really felt ashamed of myself. I felt you had written this just for me to show the proper way to see him. I just can bow down to you, kindly accept the same on the net.

Now let me tell you something I have learnt over a period of time. There is nothing called co-incidence in this world. We have very loving guardian angels looking after us. When we genuinely feel the need for something, the whole Universe conspires to rush that to our doorstep. At times it might use the ordinary Varalotti as its courier. At times it can even use the head of a state to do something for us. The fact that a story like this moves us to tears is proof enough that we have been blessed and that we have been given the best.
And so dear friend, you need to bow down to that Universal Love which at times appears as God, at times appear as a friend, at times appear us some words, spoken or written.

These words I enjoyed most. Giving such a good explanation.............hatsoff.

In almost all the versions of the Paana story I have seen Loga Sarangar being depicted as a villain. Well, when he hit Paana, he did something wrong. But that was borne out of ignorance, and a blind compliance to the social norms. Many times we see our children doing a harsh act. Does that make our child a villain to be abhorred? There's a child which requires help. And Lord Renganatha rushed that help to Sarangar. It was Sarangar who benefitted most from the episode.

Thanks Sridhar, I don't know what punyam I did in my last birth that I accidentally stepped into IL and got so many beautiful jewels as friends and to read your narration. You have made my day dear !!!!

A mere word of thanx is not enough but it comes directly from my heart.

The sentiments are the same at both the ends.
Love,

I was reading at the same time as you were posting. I had to refresh each page and then go ahead. Reading this, my eyes were full and no thoughts came to mind. I had just visualised Lord and Thirupan. I could clearly see the Lord bleeding for his devotee and the rishi carrying him over to the Lord and he became a reason for them to see each other and unite. Hence yesterday's fb was of two line because no words/thoughts came out for few minutes.

Dear Anu,
For a story like this, writing fb with no words, is in itself a great fb. I am honoured.

THANK YOU is all i can say now.

Dear Dear Vidya,
A response like this will surely drive me to dive even deeper into our great spiritual ocean and come up with real pearls for you. When I wrote the post last Tuesday I was crying all along. I had to cleverly hide my face from my wife, lest she should be worried.

Somehow true love makes me cry, even if it just exists in fiction, in just my imagination, hallucination or whatever. And this real-life love story made me sob, because this was quite perfect.

Even in the case of Aandal, there is a hidden raider. Aandal of course is Mahalakshmi herself. She was not born in the ordinary way. Periazhwar just found her in the garden. And we have Aandal sannadhi in all our temples. But Thirupanazhwar is of much recent origin. He was born an ordinary mortal like the rest of us, but went right into God Himself, because and only because of His love.

When you say that you are going to narrate this to the little boy I am even more proud. They say that the most effective, powerful readers are the young mothers.For when they read something and are impressed by it, then a whole generation is benefitted.

A KODI thanks to you for your wonderful work.

I liked the way you touch on social issues when talking so spiritually. If you were a Social Reformer you cud groom our generations so well..I really liked the few lines about how we out of sheer laziness contaminate the mother nature.

A brillaint and a very informative piece.

You are most welcome, Vidya. And thanks for those great words. I am not sure whether I will shine as a social reformer. Well, the first project I have in mind is to reform myself, for which, I think this lifetime will not be enough. I am however moved by the great confidence you have reposed in me.
love,

I had tears flowing through reading the love of Paana for the lord and the way lord reciprocated his love back. Your narration was so very good Sridhar.. Yes this is a perfect Love story and the best i have read so far. Your posts have been so informative and specially the connection of Villi to Panna was really a great piece. I will surely narrate these stories to my little boy.

You have made it easy to learn such great things with your wonderful narration. A KODI thanks to you for your wonderful work.

Thanks for your long and detailed answer to my fb Varalotti. Once again I am amazed at your patience and determination to reply to all of us in such an elaborate detail. That should clear some doubts as to why you receive so many feedbacks!!

Dear GF,
You are most welcome. When the story is written by the Great Writer who writes the life-stories of each one of us, from the amoeba to the most complex being, it can only be perfect.
Please dont use such words to describe our friendship. The feelings are mutual. And I am no more than your fellow traveller in the journey of life suffering the same pains, depressions and weaknesses.
While I thank you for your kind prayer I request you to add one more statement to it. That whatever good health and other blessings that SHE might choose to confer on me, may I spend them fully to spread the message of Love.
Thanks GF once again.
Love,

Sriniketan,
Thanks. Happy and proud to know that I have driven you to the paasurams. Two requests here. Get to know the meaning as well. And make sure that you read it aloud in your husband's presence. If you want any help regarding meaning, please feel free to write to me, in this forum itself.

The paasurams have come from the depths of a loving heart. They are sure to bless you and yours for all time to come.
regards,

When someone devotes her time and energy to read my post and post a fb, this is the least I can do for her.
I was naively thinking that receiving many fbs is a plus point.But the developments of the last two days have made me think otherwise. Strange are HER ways. Stranger still are the ways of HER world.
love,

Dear Sridhar

I read all your responses to this post and they are all so amazing. You know what we can form short stories from the responses you give to every one of our feedback. You have so much patience and i am really proud to have known someone like you through IL. There is a lot to learn for me from elders like you, but just wanted to make a point that your responses were as much impressive as your original narration of the story..

Infact write more like these pieces Sridhar. There is so much in our past that we fail to know and stories like this are really enriching.

Thanks Sridhar

Regards
Vidya
