Digest Number 1663- 1. Meaning of VSN 2. Varaaha devaru

[Guest guest]

Dear All

 

There are quite a few books on Vishnu Sahasranama with

meanings as per Madhva thought.

1. VSN meanings in English by Shri TS Raghavendran in

about 7-8 volumes. You can contact SMSO Sabha in

Tiruchanur or SMSO Nidhi in Triplicane, Chennai for

copies.

 

2. VSN of Sri Sathya sandha's commentary published in

Sanskrit original from Srirangam. Out of print. I

managed a xeroxed version in an exhibition.

 

3. VSN meaning in Tamil in brief based on Sri Sathya

sandha's commentary by scholar Shri Nagaraja Bhaskar

published by Vishva Madhva Mahaparishad. You may

contact UM in Chennai.

 

4. Another one published from Chennai in English

linking VSN to Sri Seshachandrikaacharya's commentary

on Brihati sahasra (which is an elaboration of VSN). I

purchased it from the stall Raghavendra Brindavana,

Mulbagal matha at Chamarajpet.

 

5. Brihati sahasra commentary of Sri

Seshachandrikacharya published by SMSO Sabha in

Sanskrit. You can get it SMSO nidhi Triplicane. It

also has sub commentary of Sri Bhagawantha Raya based

on a version. The original I understand is at Chennai

Oriental library.

 

6. There could be other commentaries at Sarasvati

Mahal library at Thanjavaur.

 

7. I believe Mahabharatha Samshodhana Kendra is

attempting to publish major VSN commentaries.

 

8. There is a need to bring a " handy " publication for

people like us based on Sri Sathya Sandha in English.

It can also include parayana/japa procedures (I

understand there are different methods including one

using katapayadi sankya- chanting totally 632 times

for curing diseases and overcoming hurdles)

 

Reg Sri Varahadevaru stotras:

 

1. There are Varaha stotras by Sri Vadiraja. You can

download from dvaita.org

2. There are also dasarapadas on Sri Varaha.

3. Acharya's tantra sara also talks of mantras on Sri

Varaha which require initiation.

4. Sri Varaha is not only to be worshipped for land

hassles, but also for victory in difficult

situations & ventures, shatru peeda, rahu planet related

problems and Gnana. Srimushnam not far from Cuddalore

in Tamilnadu is a sacred place for Madhvas. It has a

Bhuvaraha temple, a swayamvaktha kshetra,with special

rights of worship for Utharadi Matha Swaminah, with a

theertha created by Sri Acharya by his divine powers

to help a pregnant lady who wanted to offer bhikshah.

There is an East Madhva Street there is a chatra

(which has two Vadiraja mrithika brindavana-one was

acquired based on dream instruction from Varaha

pushkarani) where you can get free lunch thanks to a

Madhva deshastha landlord of the past who bequeathed

his assets for feeding Madhva pilgrims. Continues to

this day. It is said that the landlord's wife donated

her sthree dhana (jewels etc given at the time of

marriage-traditionally the husband has no say on this)

to the Lord which apparently adorns the deity today, a

salagrama murthi. The temple also a sri Krishna idol

worshipped by issueless couples. Even a visit to Sri

Mushnam temple bestows children of their choice to

couples. There is also an asvatha varaha under Madhvas

to be worshipped before entering the main temple.

 

5. Proper worship of Sri Bhuvaraha was very popular

with Madhvas till recently and has to be revived. I wd

be interested in receiving any information on this

subject, as also Srimushna Mahathmyam- I am looking

for a copy.

Namaskaragalu,

 

There's a 3 or 4 book volumes on Sri VSN meaning published by Sri Palimaru

Matha. But these books are out of print now. This is a wonderful book, that

I've gone through by borrowing.

 

If this book be republished, it would be great.

 

 

Sameera.

" I am not the doer, shri Hari is the doer, all the actions that I do are His

worship. Even then, the worship I do is through His grace and not otherwise.

That devotion and the fruits of the actions that come to me are due to His

recurring grace "

If one always practices to do actions with a dedicated spirit to Hari, in

this way, it pleases Vishnu.
