LIFTING OR PIERCING THE ARCHA VEIL

The corporate rules bring forth exceptions to the rule that the company form of organization is limited liability one. There are a few exceptions where this general rule is pierced and the corporate veil is lifted.

The archa: Emperuma:n is epitome of auspicious qualities but has got His own restrictions. Being supportive to one and all He expects everything from us. Being, life for us, He appears inanimate expecting our actions for His sustenance.

Being full of compassion He settles down in our desired form of archa. Never does He move out of this form. He places Himself at our control, at our whims and fancies, virtually at our mercy -in a reversal of roles-thattu ma:rik kidakkum.

There have been more than several instances of this Emperuma:n breaking out His silence, moving out of this image, the image of anonymity, the image of staunch silence.

It is well known that Deva:thira:jan of Ka:nchi was in regular talking terms with our Fanning Glory Sri Thirukachi Nambi. The emergence of the six commandments or the popular 'Aru va:rthai' is a testimony of this.

Sri Thirukudanthai Ara:vamudhan's zest towards Thirumazhisaip pirAn is well known that it seems He tried to get up from His archA recline only to be rested back in a different posture -Azhwa:r reassuring Him to talk to him in a slanting pose.-kidanthava:ru ezhundhirundu peasu -va:zhi kesanea.

We have also read about The yatho:thaka:ri Peruma:l dancing to the tunes of Thriumazhisai Azhwa:r.

Sri Thiruvenkatamudaiya:n is also known to have talked to Sri Anantha:zhwa:n and also to Thondama:n chakravarthi.

Sri Rangana:than -the bundle of vyu:ha sauha:rtham- whose predominant purpose in this world is welfare of the souls, is said to have essayed repeatedly to peep outside the sanctum sanctorum and walk out of His archa:, being immensely attracted towards the unceasing sweet downpour of Edu initially from Sri Nampillai and later from none other than the visathva:k siga:mani -the soul who spread out the Edu-Ettup perukkar.

However, Peirya Peruma:l was time and again reminded by Thiru-Vilakku pichan that He should not pierce the archa: veil.

Notwithstanding these restrictions, Sri Rangana:tha stopped His activities for a year and listened with rapt attention to Ma:munikal's Delivery of Edu and subsequently came out of this, in the form of a small boy and showered praise on His Acha:ryan Sri Ma:munikal

'Sri Sailesa Daya: pa:thram...''

Yes, the words of Periya Jeeyar Moved even the archa, the Lord of Paramapadam, Sri Rangana:tha. The Lord whose self imposed restrictions shattered on this day, the peeps, the attempts of walk outs, the occasional indulgences, transformed into a sweet divine radiant countenanced kid,

this Day of Ani mu:lam.

The words lifted the archa veil culminating into
the great thaniyan, the divine one from the divine mouth of Emperuma:n Himself


'Sri Sailesa Daya: pa:thram...''
