05-07-14 SATURDAY KANCHI PERIYAVAR SAYINGS… காஞ்சி பெரியவர் ஆன்மிக சிந்தனைகள் Kanchi PERIYAVAA....some great events ParamAchArya used to quote the Tamil saying Feed everyone, without any distinction (yArkkum idumin, avar ivar ennnanmin) and explain that no distinction of any kind must be entertained in offering food. He would be delighted to explain the Keralite tradition of feeding even the thieves at night! This custom existed in the place called Cherukkunnam, Kerala, in the Annapurani temple. After feeding the bhaktas in the temple, food packets were prepared and kept tied to the trees in the night, for the use of any prowling thieves. ParamAchArya also took delight in explaining the reference in the Sagam Literature of how the Chera king Udhiyan Cheraladhan earned the name Perum Sotru Cheraladhan (the king who was the chief host) by feeding the opposite camps of the Pandavas and the Kauravas during the Mahabharata war.
