Listen To Your Elders

The food habits of the old timers were very good. They would eat at 11 am and then at 4 pm. They had clear vision even at the ripe age of 80 or 85.

We gorge on junk food and have become weak! Whereas they are able to see well, hear well, lead a healthy self-reliant life. We should have followed in their footsteps.

That is what Andal extolled ‘Melayar seivanagal venduvana kettiyel’ - the elders were much wiser than us.

Even if you are unable to follow everything they said or did, attempt to follow whatever you can, for that is the way for a healthy and happy life.

Sundaramurthy Nayanar was drawn into the world due to his desire for women; Manika vasagar was drawn into this world, due to love of comforts and riches; but Andal was drawn into this world due to her care for the people in this world.
