SrI VenkatEsa Sahasra Naamam: RathnAngi Kaimkaryam Series: Part 87

[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

NamO VenkatEsAya

 

Dear BhakthAs of Lord SrInivAsa of Thirumalai:

 

One of the Morning daily Manthra AarAdhana Kramams at

Thirumala is the archanai of the Lord with SrI Venkatesa

Sahasra Naamam from BrahmANda PurAnam. Brahma is

the Rishi for this Manthra AarAdhanai; Chandas is

anushtup and SrIvatsAnga Ramaa Vibhu ( Lord SrInivAsan)

is the Devathai for this manthra roopa AarAdhanam.

 

This Sacred Sahasra Naamam is the result of discussions

(SamvAdham ) Sages NaaradhA and VasishtA. After

this ManthrArAdhanam with the Naama sahasrams ,

the First bell is rung , Bali , SaaRRumuRai

take place.

 

Now Suddhi is done and the Second ManthrArchanA

takes place inside the garbha Graham. It is an EkAntha ArchanA ,

where no one else is admitted . The 108 NaamAs of the Lord from

VarAha PurANam is recited and the second bell is rung

to get ready for the first of the two Sarva Darsanam

(7.30 A.M to 19.00 P.M) for the day.

 

Thus in the daily aarAdhanam of the Lord of the Seven Hills

the two ManthrArAdhanams thru Naama Sahasram and AshtOttharam

play a very important role .

 

adiyEn looked around for a commentary on either of these two

SthOthrams . adiyEn thought that TTD might have released

monographs on these two important SthOthrams used daily

for the Lord's worship. adiyEn did not find any until

a great Venkatesa BhakthA, SrIman Kamisetty SrinivAsulu

Garu presented me with a small 1975 monograph on

the Sahasrams by SrI SwarnAnandha , a disciple of

SankarAchArya of Govardhan Peetam .The meanings of

the nAmAs are given in one line pattern. adiyEn thought it

will be an auspicious Kaimakryam to expand on them

with the bhakthi-laden insights of the 202 AzhwAr Paasurams on

the Lord of Seven Hills and other PoorvAchArya SthOthrams

like Swamy Desikan's DayA sathakam and others.

 

adiyEn will seek the blessings of the Kali Yuga Vara PrasAdhi,

SrI Venkatesan to commence this Kaimkaryam for SamarpaNam

at His Lotus feet and present it in the Oppiliappan and

SaraNAgathi lists as an integral part of Sri DevanAthan's

RathnAngi Kaimkaryam. It is indeed appropriate to link

the postings to the Current series on ThiruvhIndhrapuram

since Lord DEvanAthan is considerd by many as

the Nadu Naattu Dhivya Desa SrInivAsan .

 

adiYen prays "MahAnthPO anugrhNanthu"

and seek Lord SrInivAsan's anugraham to

start on this kaimkaryam.
