Thirupaavai - Song -14

In this song Aaandaal is teasing and making fun of her sleeping friend who said that she would be the first one to join in the rituals. Two flowers are mentioned here.

1.Seng.kalu.neer-------this flower blossoms during sunrise.

2. Aambhal-------------this flower will blossom only at nights when moon appears.

Aandaal says that the flower of wisdom has blossomed when the sun [intellect] rises in our dark mind of ignorance.

Many true devotees of the Lord had gathered and started blowing the conch at the temple complex. They were wearing pure saffron clothes. This colour indicates sacrifice and service.

In our national flag this colour is placed at the bottom, to say that the entire nation's development is based on everybody's dedication, sacrifice and service to mankind.

The final everlasting bliss of spirituality is service to mankind.

In Vaishnavism all Gurus has sought only the pure, selfless KAINKARYAM...service to mankind from Lord.

We are here on this earth to serve others. This service is the real spirit of being religious and spiritual in life.

Exercise: Today is Saturday and tomorrow is Sunday. Try to render at least a small service to your locality or to somebody who is in need of your help.
