Thirupaavai Paasuram #15
This Paasuram according to me is about Cognitive Diversity. While Andal is speaking about arguing with a friend its about accepting different thoughts !
This blog is our space to write about our thoughts, views and notes about our travels. Osho owned 90 Rolls Royces while being a Sanyasi …. The so-felt contradiction is very fascinating and hence the name !
Sharing our experiences and insights from the corporate world ! Between Krishnan and I, we have 55+ years of corporate experience.
This Paasuram according to me is about Cognitive Diversity. While Andal is speaking about arguing with a friend its about accepting different thoughts !
In Paasuram #14, Andal speaks about integrity and keeping one’s word. In the corporate parlance it’s about walking the talk ! Are you walking the talk ?
In Paasuram #13 Andal speaks about how over sleeping robs you of valuable time. It’s so true … we waste so much time when we are young and then have little time as we age to do things we always wanted to.
Paasuram #12 is all about persistence and grit in the face of constraints as we try and reach our goals in life… Its also about entitlement and how that doesn’t help.
This Paasuram seems to be proving the proverb, “show me your friends and I will tell you who you are”. Surround yourself with friends and co-workers who help you succeed.
In Paasuram #10 we see a persistent Andal trying to get another friend who sleeps like Kumbhakarna to join in the Margazhi celebration ! With friends only “chatting” over WhatsApp this is a refreshing paasuram. 🙂
Paasuram #6 is a call to awake and become aware by Andal. Staying alert and aware is crucial for success in all walks of life !!
Thirupaavai Paasuram #5 describes Bhagwan Krishna in all his glory and offers a path to finding Moksha. The English translation doesn’t capture the beauty of the verses.
Thirupaavai Paasuram #4 is about Sustainability and co-existing with Nature. A very important lesson for today’s world !!
Thirupaavai Paasuram #3 is about how Mahavishnu grants all round prosperity to his devotees. There is reference to the Vamana Avatar as well.
