"Sri EmbAr has compressed our glorious DarSanam into three
'i's - "ichhaiyE adhikAram,irakkamE upAyam,inimaiyE upEyam"

Dear Sriman Bharat,
    NamaskAram. I am deeply touched by these words of Sri embAr, esp the
first "i" - "ichchaiyE adhikAram". How clearly and unequivocally this
explains the eligibility! isn't this what SRi piLLai ulagAriyan
elaborated as "vilakkAmai". (Not saying NO to His abundant flow of
grace. ) What a great sampradhAyam we belong to! I am really proud.

    We have to be constantly reminded of the extreme humility and
openness of our AchAryAs. They were so compassionate and kind to others.
Sri kooraththAzhvAn, when talking about his blindness would say, " I
might have commented on somebody's thirumaN not being straight. Thats
why I am blind..."

    Thanks again Sri Bharat for a nice posting.
-Viji
