Musings on Andal's Tiruppavai
Goda, also known as Andal, means giver of cows, illumination and revelations. True to her name Andal blossomed forth to personify all these cherished values in her myriad mystic revelation. Andal being one of the great Alvars, and a gem of mystic among them, homage has been paid to her during all these centuries. She lived several centuries before Acharya Ramanuja and her works have been zealously commented upon by a galaxy of scholars. Andal was a bridal mystic. She was a born devotee of God like Saint Tyagaraja. In her Tiruppavai, one can sense and feel the emotive cravings of a most sensitive soul, the agony and ecstasy through which it passes, only to usher in, in the end, a mystic revelation of Prapatti, total surrender to God, with a lyrical abandon.
