Thiruvaheendhrapuram Oushadha Giri MahA MaNDapam for Lord HayagrIvan : Part III

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dear Sri HayagrIva BhakthAs :

 

adiyEn will start on this Aadi Maasa PiRappu Day to post a series

of articles on the Vaibhavam of Lord HayagrIvan blessing us all

from the top of Oushadha Giri at Thiruvaheendhrapuram . On this hill ,

Swamy Desikan gained Garuda Manthra Siddhi some seven hundred

years ago , while meditating on the Garuda Manthram . Pakshi Raajan

appeared before the young Swamy Desikan and blessed him with

Sri HayagrIva Manthram and presented him with the sacred Moortham of

Yoga HayagrIvan , who is still blessing us all even today at the dhivya

dEsam of Thiruvaheendhrapuram . Swamy Desikan recited the Manthram of

Lord Hayagrivan many times while sitting under an Aswattha tree and

was bessed with the darsana SoubhAgyam of Lord HayagrIvan and

the anugraham to be a ParamAchAryan of the Bhagavath RaamAnuja

Darsanam . Rest is legendary .

 

Sri HayagrIvan is the presiding deity of learning in Sri VaishNavam .

Swamy Desikan performed AarAdhanam for Lord HayagrIvan every day

of his life after Sri HayagrIva SaakshAthkAram on OushadhAdhri hills .

For Swamy Desikan , Sri HayagrIvan is " the indweller of his heart ,

the soul of soul , the inner ruler immortal " . Swamy Desikan Lord

HayagrIvan as the Divine light to lead him on his avathAra mission of

driving away the hold of avaidhika and Kudhrushti mathams and

to establish Sri VaishNavam as the Parama DhArnika , Vaidhika Matham .

 

Swamy Desikan's first sthOthram , Sri Hayagriva SthOthram

was composed spontaneously here in front of Lord HayagrIvan

on the OushdhAdhri hills .It just flowed out of him due to

the grace of Lord HayagrIvan .

 

Let us enjoy the 108 NaamArchanais for the Lord of Oushadha Giri

and seek His blessings for the successful conclusion of the Kaimkaryam

for Him :

 

Sri HayagrIva AshtOtthara Sthothram

The NaamAs are easy to understand although they have deeper

sAsthrEic connotations . We have to add PraNavam before each

of these 108 NaamAs during archanai :

 

(1) ( PraNavam) HayagreevAya Nama:

(2) MahA VishNavE Nama:

(3) KEsavAya Nama:

(4) MadhusoodhanAya Nama:

(5 ) GOvindhAya Nama:

(6) PuNDareekAkshAya Nama:

(7) VishNavE Nama:

(8) VisvambharAya Nama:

(9) HarayE Nama:

(10) AadhithyAya Nama:

(11) Sarva-vAgheesAya Nama :

(12) SarvAdhArAya Nama:

(13) SanAtanAya Nama:

(14) NirAdhArAya Nama:

(15) NirAkArAya nama:

 

The rest of the 108 names can be constructed in this manner from

the AshtOtthara Satham .

 

The Phala Sruthi section states that thoose who recite the AshtOtthara

Satha Naamam of Lord HayagrIvan will gain the intellectual acumen

equivalent to Vaachaspathi ( Deva Guru) and will be the Master of all

VidhyAs , accumulate riches , wife , suprajAs and enjoy all bhOgams

in this world and at he end of stay in this universe will reach

Sri aikuntam , the Supreme abode of Hari .

 

May we recite this ashtOttharam and seek Lord Hayagrivan's

blessings for Kaimkarya Poorthy .
