Namaste Sri Lakshmiji!

 

Thank you for this offering on Sharangati Tattwa.

 

Lakshmiji, Have you seen the divine posture Of Sri Ranganatha

PERUMAAL In Sri RANGAM ?

 

HERE IS AN EXPLANATION From BHATTAR

 

"The two divine hands of Lord Ranganatha as He lies in Srirangam

provide refuge to the chetanas. One of his hands points to His crown

and states that 'Am I not wearing this for your protection?' -

thereby removing the Vaishnava's fear of the weight of the ageless

karmas. The other hand points to His divine feet and shows them

where to take refuge - similar to a mother feeding her breast into

the mouth of her child".

 

but , we bhaktas (including King Solomon and Queen Sheba ) have to

take off our crowns ( arrogance , pride etc) and enter the holy

shrine of the Lord in a bhava of total surrender ( humbler than the

humblest) !

 

may i please share these two verses from Adi Shankara Bhagvadapada's

Sri LAKSHMI NARASIMHA STOTRA ?

O Lord! My great wealth called power of discrimination (viveka) has

been stolen away by the powerful thieves called senses. I am blind

(without the power of discrimination between things eternal and

noneternal). In this condition, I have been pushed into the dark

well called delusion. O Lakshminrsimha, provide me the support of

Your hands.

O Lord of Lakshmi, from whose navel emanates a lotus, O Lord of

gods, O Vishnu, O Vaikuntha, O Krishna, O Madhusudana (slayer of

Madhu), O Lotus-eyed One, O Brahmanya (the most exalted knower of

Brahman), O Keshava, O Janardana, O Vasudeva, O Lakshmi Nrsimha, do

You provide me the support of Your hands!

 

You can read the beautiful translation of this entire stotra by sri

Anand Hudli at

However, when you 'surrender' to the God/ess . let it be 'total'

 

Remember that famous incident from Mahabharata where Draupadi sought

Sri KRISHNA'S HELP during that famous scene ( cheera haranam) where

Dusshasana tried 'disrobing' Draupadi in front of one and all in the

royal court ? WELL, LORD kRISHNA TOOK HIS OWN SWEET TIME COMING TO

Draupad's R RESCUE ? This is because while Draupadi's one hand was

ASKING FOR sri Krishna'S HELP , the other hand was clutching at the

saree worried that Dusshasana will Disrobe her ! But only when

DRAUPADI PUT UP BOTH HER HANDsS IN a bhava of TOTAL surrender

asking for Sri KRISHNA'S DIVINE INTERVENTION, DID LORD KRISHNA

HEEDED TO HER PRAYERS AND SUPPLED HER WITH ENDLESS YARDS AND YARDS

OF THE SAREE TO SAVE HER HONOR ! YES! while 'surrendering' to the

lord . let it be 'total' nor partial ! You surrender with two

hands , hwe will help you with His multiple hands!

 

Hari Aum
