Jeeyar Thiruvadigale: Saranam

 

4) When my time is over & when I am terrified in the grip

of the servants of yama, then you have to protect me :

We always try to run away from you, due to our inclination

to all objects other than you. We commit many crimes in

the process and incur the wrath of the servants of yama.

 

( Ex : When you have taken all forms like the train, guard,

its driver etc to take us safely to our destination, we

see some beautiful scenary outside, get attracted to it.

We then try to stop the train by pulling the chain and get

out. This causes inconvinience to our fellow passengers

and we get punished by the police).

 

Even, after all these mistakes, O Lord, at the time of our

death, when we are trembling with fear due to Yama, you are

the only one whom we can look forward to, for protecting

us again.

 

O Lord, You are ViShNu, isn't it?. So, you are everywhere.

So, kindly don't leave us to the mercy of Yama in our last

moments. We have been commiting mistakes and suffering like

this perennially. Its only you, who can come and embrace

us from all the directions & protect us once for all, from

the sufferings, especially in our last moments. We are

never grateful to you, as we never recognize your love for

us when we are in proper heath. We never think about you

all through our life. During our last moments, our sins

make us suffer and then also we cannot remember you.

 

So, O Lord, where is the end to it?. So, Do come and protect

me. They call you viShNu, isn't it??!! You can come from

anywhere at anytime and protect me at any moment.

 

5) O Lord, Sri RanganAtha, reclining on the AdiSESha...!! :

Just like a fellow traveller, not known to me, you are calmly

reclining on the AdiSESha in Sri Rangam. I do not know about

your greatness. You just appear to be lying down and sleeping.

But you observe everything and are there in the right form at

the right place and at the right time to protect me.

 

You are that fellow traveller, who is continously sleeping,

but comes to the rescue of the guy who pulls out the chain to

get out. You tell the police (servants of yama) that this guy

didn't pull the chain and it was somebody else.

 

Thus, you should keep protecting us. That is why, you are

spread everywhere, isn't it true my Lord??.

 

Om ViShNavE namaha

 

( I exist only for the sake of my Lord, who has taken

innumerable forms and who is spread everywhere, just

to protect me and just out of Love for me. And that is

the the essence of the vEdAs, the praNavam.)

 

Jai Sriman Narayana
