Actions to perform Religious Worship in Tamil are Necessary


THAVATHIRU KUNDRAKUDI PONNAMBALA ADIGALAR

A few months ago, preparations were made for conducting the Kudamuzhakku in Tamil itself in the temple of Tenatchiamman of the Kundrakudi Adheenam. While several people were helpful in this, a fitting explanation was given to those who raised the question, “If the incantations are sung in Tamil, will God accept that Kudamuzuku?” They doubted if the Garuda would visit; not one but two of them came. It was pleasing.

They said that the sacrificial hall would catch fire and burn if the mantras are said in Tamil. The youth of that village, who got to know about this, apprehended that anyone might set fire and lay the blame on Tamil, so they guarded it night and day. Through this it is known that the religious worship in Tamil has touched the hearts of the very last people.

We are going to search and find an answer, for those who say that the Tamil language doesn’t have the sacred quality. If it is said that the Tamil language that spreads Shaivaism and Vaishanavism among the people doesn’t have the sacred nature, what other language in the world can have divine nature?

Today, by excellently conducting the rituals in the Tamil language all over Tamil Nadu, Meylai Sivapuri is guiding it towards the crowning path.

Worship is through affection. God must be worshipped with weeping, with crying. So, we must only ask that archanai be conducted in temples in the Tamil language. Today, we need the feeling and awareness for that.

I heartily congratulate Singaaram Chettiyar who has taken up a great responsibility for this conference saying that the divine Tamil is a Tamil that removes evils.
