In the town called Kambili was born Nesa Nayanar in a family of traditional weavers. In his heart was woven the cloth of love for God, by stringing together the fibres of his numerous deeds of service to the Lord. The Lord, whose clothing were the directions, was pleased with his devotion and blessed him. With the mind seated at the feet of Hara, softer than cotton, and the tongue moving to the five holy syllables, he wove cloths, girdles and loin cloths of flawless and supreme quality for the devotees of Shiva. His skill and professionalism gained him respect among the weavers and customers alike, while he modestly continued serving the needs of the devotees who had severed all their worldly bonds. Nesar was determined in serving the devotees of the Lord daily. The superior quality of garments he wove served the essential needs of the devotees. The holy texts say taking care of the basic needs of the devotees who have dedicated their lives to search for the Absolute Truth and thus work for the enlightenment of all fellow creatures, is in fact one of the sacred ways to worship the Lord on the Bull mount. Nayanar performed this great service without any expectation, keeping the Lord’s holy feet in his thoughts and finally attained the feet of the Lord at the end of his life on earth. Let the eager service of Nesa Nayanar stay in the mind.
