Re: Fwd: Re: Your posting--2nd Question- Thiruppavai as Veda Vittu ??

Sri Krishnaswamy,
Thanks for your response. I read the tirupavai articles in the archives posted by shri anand. But i do not find the answer to my question on that. He has mentioned generally to divyaprabandams and referrred govinda jeer's incident. But note that "vethamanaithukum vithakum kothai thamizh i iyainthum iyunthum" which refers to thirupavai alone. In the upanyasams which happen now including the ones which i referred in my question, we do not hear anything which relates to veda. They all say that she went to each house and trying to wake up Girls to sing in praise of lord. And in some pasurams, continous argument between and girl who sleep inside and andal standing outside were explained. My doubt is that how come a wake up songs of this kind be "vedamanaithukkum vithu"? 
Iam strongly beleive that there should be some strong meaning behind that word "vethamanaithukum vithu" as our Great Ramanuja became and was called thirupavai jeer. Iam chanting daily the thaniyan and pasurams but will get conviction over it if the doubts get cleared.

I would refer you to the article "thiruppavai - 3" of Shri Anand Karalappakam dt.28/2/99 appearing in BHAKTI LIST ARCHIEVES 1999, which in my opinion will clear your doubt.
With Best Wishes,
K. Raman
