Meaning of Thiruppavai pasuram 16 -Naayaganai ninra Nadagopanudaya

In this stanza, the Gopis approach Nandagopa’s mansion and request   the gate-keepers of the outer and inner courts to grant them entry.  The opening of the door symbolises the opening of the hearts and the minds to receive God. The latch is the feeling of independence from God. It is removed when we realise our total dependence upon Him. When one enters the temples  to worship the Lord, it is essential that one take the permission of the kṣetrādhipati and gatekeepers or Dvārapālakas. The ill-directed attempts to reach the Lord independently, without the guidance, the help and the recommendation of His servants will prove futile and even dangerous.
