Thirupaavai - Song -11

Aandaal is asking her next friend to wake up. While she was calling each one, people have got up from sleep and have started their duties. Some of them were also looking for Aandaal and her friends .So she is waking up her friend spiritually. This friend is very rich with many healthy buffaloes and calves.

Again Sreerama avatharam has been remembered here. Aandaal says that out of great anger the Lord killed the king of Lanka to save all good people, devathaas and his wife Sitha.

Here Rama is Paramathma.We are Sithadevi...the jeeva. Our body is Lanka, which is the symbol of apparent truth and our ego is Ravana. We are always under his control. But once we get the awareness through our Guru, we need to seek the Lord's help. The Lord will also help us overcome this world of maaya.

Aandaal is stressing the importance of ’’RAMA NAMA'' chanting. Among many thousands of names, Rama Nama is considered to be very easy, very sacred. If we chant Rama nama once it is equal to the 1000 names of Lord Vishnu.

Gurus insist that we write ''SREERAMA JEYAM'' on sheets of paper with pure devotion to the Lord. In our family we are experiencing the power of Rama nama. We can put all the notebooks, sheets with Rama Nama under our building foundation to make the vaasthu perfect and more powerful.

Aandaal says that the milk is overflowing in her friend's home even after the calves were fed by the mother buffaloes. This is the symbolic expression of luxury. That friend has been living a wealthy life. Now it is the time for her to seek the spiritual bliss. Most of us are spending our lifetime just in working hard to maintain our luxurious lifestyle without spending enough time with our family. We must be contented and start our spiritual life soon, because we do not know when we will shed this body. This song is reminding the y rich people to spend their money for the poor. The overflowing milk is spoiling the floor of the friend's house. This is telling us ,that the wealth which has not been properly used will spoil the family. Money has to be earned properly, saved for the future and also used for good purposes.

Aandaal is also giving another important message - that when we change, everything around gets changed. When one person is spiritually initiated, his entire surrounding will be slowly changed .In this song Aandaal has mentioned that many people have come out of their houses to join with her gang.

Today is Krishna Jayanthi; Aandaal has inspired me to write about Rama Nama.

Exercise: find out within yourself whether you are contented with whatever you have. List out 5 things which you need more and ask why you need them?
