sree vishnu sahasra naamaavali - post 23

[Guest guest]

Post 23

 

Dear sri vaishNava perunthagaiyeer,

 

Before I give the next thread I have to seek your apologies. The item no. 10 in

post 21 is a mistake.

 

It should be "Om dharpadhaaya nama: -- naamaa no. 718 occurring in slokam 76

meaning: the giver of pride

 

and NOT "Om a dharpadhaaya nama:".

So this naamaa need not find a place in the negative thread list.

 

I am sorry for this mistake and wish to thank Sri Krsihnamacharya swamin for

pointing out this in a private mail.

 

Continuing with the present post, in this post we will see naamaas of sree

Vishnu sahasra naamam having the common thread of "time and the time less"

entity sreeman naaraayanan.

 

This also reminds me to recall the lines of Swamy periyavaachchaan piLLai

vyakhyaanam on thirup pallaaNdu - "kaala atheethamaana vasthu kaalam saamraajyam

paNNugiRa dhEsaththil vanthu" etc included in the dhivya prabhandham post sent

earlier.
