TRICHAMBRARAM -  PRIEST DANCING WITH UTSAVA MURTI ON HEAD

Extension of gratitude assumes many forms and compels to part with precious possessions unmindful of their worth. People when satisfied with achievements for which they aspire for and strive assiduously start redeeming their debt sumptuously without second thoughts. The objects or individuals that contributed for their success receive returns munificently rather beyond their expectation, and out of proportion too. The victors thereby gain world wide reputation and pass for refined and cultured cream of the society meriting to be adored, as they set standards thus. They are remembered-for ever. More over their bounty is not time bound. Like Jivanadis, they go on flowing and emptying. themselves in to the depthless, bound less sea. That is their way, and like the dazzling pole star they guide the people.

In the case of divinities, their granting of boons and under going uncommon ordeals for the benefit of the Bhaktas are beyond the range of words.  Mahavishnus volunteering his services of a sentinel at the Patala Mahadwar of Balichakravarthy, Maheswara's role of keeping guard of Banasuras at the request of Banasuara are standing examples. Of the gods, Lord Paramasiva has a hopeless passion for granting boons indiscriminately even without asking by devotees. His compassionate look reels round the devotee that makes him hold the all proof - umbrella even without contemplation of such luxury.  He melts at the misery of his votaries and rains boons without Their asking. And Lo! it has no time restrictions. Bhagavan Krishna too did not lag behind in this respect.
