Kandhar Anubhuthi – Verse 7 Day 7

aNiyaar, aravindham arumbu madhO
“paNiyaa” ena, vaLLi padham paNium
thaNiyaa athimOha dhayaa paranE ! 

Vedaant: Hello Apurva, today’s verse features a major “Role Reversal.” Arunagirinathar is exposing a little secret about Muruga’s personality.

Apurva: A secret? What, does He have a hidden TikTok account? Or is He secretly a fan of K-Pop, Vedaant?

Vedaant: (Laughs) None of those! Muruga is the King of the Universe, right? But the poet says He went to Valli and said, “Paniyaa?”—which means “Shall I bow to you?” and He actually touched her feet. He’s an “Adhimogha Thayabaran”—someone completely obsessed and enslaved by pure love!

Apurva: Wait, the mighty War-God is acting like a “Simp” for Valli? That’s wild! But why is Arunagirinathar telling us this?

Vedaant: He’s using it as leverage! He asks, “Muruga, if You can be so humble and loving towards Valli, why won’t Your lotus feet bloom on my ‘Manosilai’—my granite-slab of a heart?”

Apurva: Ah! The classic “Guilt Trip” tactic. He’s saying, “If You can bow to her, surely You can step into my messy, rock-hard heart and soften it up?”

Vedaant: Exactly! He’s wondering when the beautiful “Aravindham” (Lotus feet) will finally sprout on his hardened mind.

Apurva: I like that. It’s like saying even the toughest interior can be turned into a garden if the right person walks in. So what’s the “TL;DR” for the blog squad?

Vedaant: The Takeaway:

1. The Power of Love: True greatness isn’t about being bossy. Even the Supreme Lord bows down to pure love. Humility is a divine trait.
2. Softening the Soul: Our minds often become rigid like stone. We need to invite that “divine grace” to step in and turn our hardness into something beautiful and blooming.

Apurva: Got it. If the God of War can be humble for love, I guess I can stop acting like a “tough guy” and actually be nice to people.

Vedaant: That would be a miracle, Apurva! Let’s hope Verse 7 makes it happen.

Muruga Charanam!
