ThiruvahIndhrapuram rathnAngi Kaimkaryam : Part XII , DhyAna SlOkams for MahA Lskshmi (SrI Hembhja valli) Sahasra Naamam

[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Dear BhakthAs : A devotee from Middle East had asked

for help with the Text of the Seven slOakams that are

traditionally recited at the beginning of the PaarAyanam of

SrI LakshmI Sahasra Naamam . MahA LakshmI is none other than

SrI HemAbhja Valli ThAyAr of Thiruvahindrapuram and the dear

consort of Lord DhaivanAyakan of this dhivya dEsam.

 

Here are the 7 DhyAna SlOkams for Her dhyAnam :

 

1. PadhmAnanE PadhmakarE sarva-lOkaiaka-poojithE

saannidhyam kuru mE chitthE VishNu-VakshasTala-sTithE

 

2. Bhagavath dakshinE paarsvE SrIdEvI sahasOtthiTAm

IsvarIm sarvabhUthAnAm Jananeem SarvadEhinAm

 

3. ChaarusmithAm ChArudatheem ChArunEthrAnana-bhruvam

SukapOlAm sukarNaagra-nyastha-moukthika kuNDalAm

 

4. sukEsAm chAruBhimBhOshteem raktha-tunga-ghana-sthaneem

alakaagrair-alinibhai: alankrutha mukhaambhujaam

 

5. lasath kanaka sankaasa peenasundara kandharaam

nishkaruNDeem sthanaalambhi mukthaahaara viraajithaam

 

6. neela kunthala madhyasTAm maaNikya makuDOjvalaam

sukla-maalyAmbhara-dharaam taptha haaDaka varNineem

 

7. ananya sulabhais-thairguNai: saamya yuthaam nijai:

anuroopaa anavadhyaangeem HarEr-nithyAnapaayineem

 

After these dhyAna SlOkams , the LakshmI Sahasra Naamam

starts with the first slOkam :

 

SrI VaasudEva MahishI PumpradhAnEsvarEsavari

achinthyAnandha-vibhavA BhAvAbhAva-vibhAvinee

 

and concludes with the last slOkam:

 

Sarva-lakshaNa-lakshaNyA Sarva-lOka-priyankaree

Sarva-mangaLa-mAngalyA dhrushtAdhrushta phalapradhA

 

Dhrushta Phalan is riches in this universe(Immai) and

adhrushta phalan is Moksham through the anushtAnam

of saraNAgathi in the other world (Her Lord's supreme

abode).

 

With SrI HemAbhjavalli's anugraham , our prayers

to have RathnAngi SamarpaNam for Her Lord would be

answered .

 

On this occasion , let us recite the famous slOkams

from VishNu PurANam that reveals the sookshmArthams

of SrI Tatthvam first and then follow it up with

three more slOkams from SrI NadathUr AmmAL's

Prapanna PaarijAtham.

 

nithyaivaishA JaganmAthA VishNO: SrIranapAyini

yaTA SarvagathO VishNu: taTaivEyam dhvijOtthama

 

dEva-thiryang-manushyEshu PunnAmA BhagavAn Hari:

SthrInAmnI LakshmI MaithrEya ! naanayOrvidhyathE param

 

(Meaning): The Mother of the Universe , MahA LakshmI ,

is never ever separated from Her Lord VishNu even for

a fraction of a second. Like Her Lord , She is also Vibhu

(not an aNu) and is pervasively present every where.Among DevAs ,

animals and humans , the male name is that of Hari and the female

among them have the name of Lakshmi (LakshmI amsam).

 

SrI HemAbja Valli's glories as MahA LakshmI in

residence at ThiruvahIndhrapuram are celebrared

by SrI NadathUr AmmAL , the primary sishyar of

YengaLAzhwAn , who wrote the commentary for

SrI VishNu PurANam :

 

aparAdhaikasakthAnAm anarhANAm chiram nruNAm

BharthurAsrayENa poorvam svayam PurushakArathAm

 

vaalabhyENAnuthishtanthIm vaathsalyAdhyubabrumhiNeem

UpAya samayE Bharthu: Jn~Ana-sakthyAdhi-vardhinIm

 

mukthAnAm bhOgavruddharyam soundharyAdhi-vivardhineem

aakArathraya sampannAm AravindhanivAsineem

arOjajagadhIsithreem vandhE Varadha-vallabhAm

 

(meaning): The humans repeatedly commit sins ,

transgress the Lord's SaasthrEyic injunctions and

stay for aeons of time in a desolate state ,

where they lose the opportunity to seek the protection

of the Lord. Using Her power of persuasion with the Lord ,

MahA Lakshmi pleads ( PurashakAram) and intercedes

with Her Lord and qualifies these perrenial sinners

to approach Her Lord. At the time of their approach ,

She kindles the Vaathsalyam (affection ) of the Lord for

Their erring children. When these sinners perform

SaraNAgathy ( UpAya anushtAnam ) , MahA Lakshmi

makes the Lord's sanklapa Jn~Anam (to protect

His children ) blossom and grows His determination

to come to their rescue as the Omnipotent Lord.

She stays thus in the state of UpAyam at this time

and grows the Lord's Jn~Anam and Sakthi.

 

When the jeevan through prapatthi anushtAnam

changes from Bhaddha ( bound ) state to that of

Muktha (liberated ) state, MahA LakshmI

stays in the state of UpEyam and enhances

the Soundharyam of Her Lord in companionship

with Her so that the Muktha Jeevan can increase

furhter their devotion to the Lord.

 

Thus She stays in the three states(aakAram) of

PurushkAram , UpAya aakAram and UpEya aakAram.

She is therefore saluted as the one staying in

all the three states (aakAra Thraya sampannAm).

 

She resides on the Lotus flower (AravindhavAsini).

She is the IsvarI for all the worlds ( IsvarIgum

sarvabhUthAnAm according to SrI Sooktham).

She is the divine consort of the boon granting

VaradrAjan . adiyEn salutes this MahA Lakshmi

of multifaceted abode of auspicious GuNams

(GuNa rathna KOsam).She has svabhAvika Isvaryam

and through Her own sankalpam has become

VishNu pathni.

 

She stays in the PurushakAra-UpAya-UpEya

dasais as SrI RanganAyaki (aakAra Thraya

SampannA )at SrIrangam , as "Aravindha nivAsini"

at Thiruppathi and as PerumdEvi ThAyAr , the dear

consort of the boon-granting Varadhan ( Varadha

VallabhA) at Kaanchi.

 

At ThiruvahIndhrapuram , we indicated earlier

that Lord Dhaiva Naayakan is the the Nadu Nattu

Dhivya dEsa SrInivAsan . Hence HemAbja Valli

or Senkamala Valli ThAyar can be saluted by us

as AalrmEl Mangai of this dhivya dEsam .

 

May SrI HemAbhja Valli ThAyAr as Sarva Isvarya Prahda

MahA Lakshmi and Her Divine Lord grant us the Kaimkarya

SrI to complete His RathnAngi Kaimkaryam on October 15,

2003 ( PurattAsi SravaNam /EkAdasi day ).
