The Name of the New year , SarvadhAri: Some Reflections

[Guest guest]

Dear AasthikAs :

 

The name of SarvadhAri for this one day old

New Year has some powerful VedAnthic

associations .

 

It is SarvadhAri ; in the masculine gender , it

refers to SarvEswaran , who bears every thing

by being " SarvabhUthAntharathmaa " .

He is the supporter/bearer of all chEtanAchEtanams

( BhUthabhrith --6th Sri VishNu'Sahasra Naamam) .

He is the soul of all Beings ( BhUthAthmA--8th

Sri VishNu Sahasra Naamam).In Srimad RaamAyaNam,

Brahma dEvan salutes the Lord in this context as

" Jagath sarvam Sareeram tE " . He nourishes all

that He bears and protects them .Brahma samhithai

salutes Him as a SarvadhAri this way :

 

" sarvajn~a: sarvaga: sarva: sarvam

aavruthya tishtathi "

 

(Meaning ): " He is Omniscient , all-pervading ,

and is Himself all things . He stands enveloping

all things " .

 

As SarvadhAri , He is the " PradhAna PurushESwaran "

and as such He bears and maintains this universe .He is

indeed Sarvan ( 25th SrI VishNu sahasra Naamam) .

He is Dharan ( Sarvaadhara Sridharan) .

 

Our Lord is also DharaNee dharan or the bearer of

the Earth .He bears all ( Sarva dharan) ; He bears

the earth and heaven ( udhruthAsi VarAhENa ).

He is dharAdharan ( 762nd VishNu Sahasra nAmam).

He bore the gOvardhana mountain and protected all

( Sarvam) under that " umbrella " ( DhArayishyAmi

ghOshDasya-- chathramivAparam ) .

 

He as SarvadhAri is the abode of heaven and earth

as Mundaka Upanishad states and the Brahma

Soothram based on it proclaims ( Mundaka Upanishad:

II.2.5 and Brahma Soothram I.3.1

 

Let us offer our grateful thanks to this SarvadhAri

on the first day of the new year and seek His blessings

to get us closer and closer to Him and His BhaagavathAs.

What a great coincidence. I was just pondering over what " SARVADHARI " really

means when I opened my and found the immediate answer. Not only simple

one word answer but a great explanation with wonderful quotes. Adiyen is

extremely thankful to you for sharing such priceless thoughts even without

asking for it. This is the real benefit we poor ignorant AasthikAs get on

account of association with Sri Vaishnava Scholars like you.

Adiyen seeks your blessings on the eve of this " SARVADAHRI " new year
