Living 100 years - Digest Number 652

From the Bhakti List Archives

Dear Sri.Balaji,
                You have raised a valid question as why we wish to live longer(even in MAdhyAnikam or during ThiruvAradhanam we invoke Sriman NArayana to bless humanity with longevity) and bless others to live a 100 years.  Even Azhvaars have sung Vaidhika life is minimum 100 years(VEdam...PrAyam Nooru).  

The wishing for such longevity is for us to live a full life, by memorize-understand-follow-preach-realize VEdas.   There is no fear of PApa or PunyA if we aspire to lead such a life, as the sheer joy of Bhagavad Anubhavam will tear our PApas and lead us to SAtvikam.  This is not only for the VEdas, this includes the DrAvida VEda Sagaram of Prabandham too, every word of our Azhvaar carry deep rooted meanings covered in the PramAnam.  AdiyEn have even heard, that this joy of enjoying BhagavAn in SamsAra has even more rasam, than enjoying it with the unclouded intellect in the Nitya Viboothi.

So let us wish ourselves and others 100 years of complete life(atleast AdiyEn wish to live a 100 years and would try to make it complete) in our stature as a SEshan to the Sarva SEshee Sriman NArAyana.  AdiyEn am sure the compassionate lord will free us from afflictions(TApam- Adhi Daivikam, Adhi Boudhikam).

AdiyEn Sri RAmAnuja DAsan,

Sudarsana Dasosmi
