Gurunathar’s Divine Message Ashwini Pooja 19-08-2011
I noticed an unusual question.” Though there have been great poets and saints who have written great literature, ‘Thevaram’,’Cheyyulgal’ or songs of prayer , why is importance given to the jester type of poet? “. A ‘Vikadakavi’ should not be undervalued, because with humor and simplicity he is able to convey important truths to the layman. We must remember this. Today when people find it difficult to understand a verse of the Thirumandiram fully, such a poet is able to understand it and present it attractively with humor to the common man. Hence I feel his contribution is of great value. Please keep this in mind. Don’t just see the humor at face value and be dismissive, but reflect at length on the inner meaning.
