@ Ramesh,
By mentioning...srigurubhyO namahA |<br /><br />@ Ramesh,<br /> By mentioning the skanda guru kavacham, you have touched on a personal favourite of mine! I think that it is such a wonderful piece - both in its poetic quality as well as in its superior power and mystical ability.<br /> If you observe the skanda guru kavacham, even though it is composed by a veritable saint and greatly advanced upasaka with the full understanding of mantra shAstra and tantrA, the humility of the poet is very evident. Though a yOgi himself, the emotion of bhakti makes him compare himself as a speck of dust in comparison to murugA/skandA.<br /> So the context where the words you have quoted is when the sage considers that he has no qualities whatsoever to become eligible for the grace of the Lord. Except for the one fact that he holds ever steady to the Holy feet of skandA as the only refuge.<br /> Thus the words " "idakalai , pinkalai yaethum arinthilaen naan," means that he is not a yOgi who is versed in the art of controling the life force and its activity in the idA and the pingala nAdi or energy channels - it is an indication to say that one need not be an advanced sAdhakA who is immersed in the sushumnA or the central channel to obtain the grace of the supreme.<br /><br /> The words "inthriyam adakka vazhi ondrum arigilaen naan" refer to the fact that he is not a master at hatha yOgA where through practise of pratyAhArA or sense control one has attained mastery over the indriyAs or the sense instruments. This is an indication to suggest that again one need not be an advanced practitioner of yOgA sAdhanA to be a fit vessel for the grace of the supreme.<br /><br />The only thing that he is possesed of for sure is steady devotion to the Lord. Thus he sings, 'kandA un thiruvadiyai patrinEn' - meaning that he chose the path of bhakti or devotion and held fast to the holy feet of murugA as the only object of contemplation. <br /><br />It is quite another matter that the poet was indeed a superior yOgi who was well versed in the art of residing in the sushumnA, and was a jitEndriyA or one who had conquered the sense instruments and their distracting quality!mooligai sidhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13180810937735162810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29653636.post-32138150352186047242012-12-06T14:11:18.012+00:002012-12-06T14:11:18.012+00:00Sir, in this context, what does "idakalai , p...Sir, in this context, what does "idakalai , pinkalai yaethum arinthilaen naan, inthriyam adakka vazhi ondrum arigilaen naan" in Kanda guru kavasam.<br /><br />What does this exactly mean.<br /><br />Ramesh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
