At Perunthurai he saw a guru seated beneath a kurundha tree, surrounded by devotees. The moment the guru placed his foot on Vathavurar's head in initiation, the minister forgot himself. His post, the king's errand and the gold in his care no longer mattered. Songs poured from his lips like gems, and the guru named him Manikkavasagar, 'he whose words are rubies'.\n\nFor a time he lived with the guru and his devotees. Then one day the guru called the devotees and said, 'A fire will rise in that pond. Plunge into it and come to me.' Turning to Manikkavasagar, he said, 'You stay here and raise this temple; afterwards come to Thillai.' And he vanished. The devotees all entered that light and merged with the Lord. Manikkavasagar alone was left standing on the bank.\n\nWith his guru and companions gone, he fell senseless, rolled on the ground and wept: 'Why did you leave me behind?' Thiruchathagam was born from the pain of that parting. Lines such as 'were there no other devotees?', 'falsehood and I were left outside' and 'you and your devotees went there and set me here' are memories of that day. Later the king imprisoned him, and the Lord rescued him by turning jackals into horses, flooding the Vaigai and taking a blow of the cane while carrying earth for its banks. At last Manikkavasagar merged with the Lord at Thillai. Thiruchathagam is the first cry of that long journey.","reflection_ta":"\u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd '\u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0bae\u0bc8 \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bc1' \u0b8e\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd?","reflection_en":"What in your life grows sweeter day by day?","image_prompt":"A young sage in white with sacred ash on his brow kneels weeping beneath a flowering kurundha tree at Perunthurai, while a column of golden light rises from a temple pond and a line of devotees walks into it and fades away, an empty seat under the tree where the guru sat.
