Dear BhakthAs Of Sri Hari NaarAyaNan:

SlOkam 11

**************

surEndra vaivasavtha vitthapAmBupa

svarooparoopi paripaathi yO Jagath

Sa Suddhasudha: ParamEswarEsvara:

mamaasthu maangaLya vrutthayE Hari:

 

( Meaning): May the Suddha-suddha ( One who confers sacredness

to all sacred objects and Tatthvams ) , ParamEswarEwara ( Iswaran of

ParamEswaran ) and who protects the world , while having Indhran ,

KubhEran , VaruNan and other dEvAs as His sareeram grow

always MangaLams for adiyEn .

 

(Commentary): Hari does Jagath rakshaNam as antharyAmi

Brahman inside Indhran , Dharma RaajA , KubhEran , VaruNan

et al .He is the Supreme authority (Svatha PramANam ) behind

the DEvAs, who have been empowered by Him to perform their

assigned duties . Agni is assigned the duty as the divine ministrant

( PurOhitha) of the Yaj~nams and the Havis offered there . Agni takes part

in Hari's Jagath RakshaNam this way following His order . VaruNA

is associated with all that is vast and pure in the Lord and MithrA

is linked to all that is shining and He embodys harmony . At the Lord's

scheme of Jagath protection , Mithra-VaruNa dyad (among the dEvAs)

create in human beings a supernal force full of divine knowledge

and protects the humans . Indra sends down the rains and nourishes

the world and " breaks down the things least established to make way

for new movements and new formations " . The Asvins , Maruths and

VisvadEvAs have their assigned roles by Hari in this Jagath RakshaNa

VyApAram , which Rg Veda manthrams describe in detail .

 

SlOkam 12

**************

yannAma-sankeerthanathO vimuchyathE

hi anEka-janmArjitha pApasanjayAth

pApEnnAgni: Sa sadhaiva nirmalO

MamAsthu MaangaLya vivrutthayE

 

(Meaning) : May Hari , whose naama sankeerthanam destroys

the gigantic bundles of Sins from multitudes of births and who is

like the fire that consumes the firewood , (May that blemishless Hari)

grant me the boon of ever increasing , abundant MangaLams !

 

(Commnets) : In Kali Yugam , BhagavannAma sankeerthanam has

been cited as the most efficacious route to destroy the accumulated

sins from many births. Like a blazing wild fire that consumes the wood

in the forests , Hari destroys the sins , when He hears the sankeerthanam

of His Sahasra Naamams .He is nirmalan(blemishless) and the KarmAs

( Paapa-PuNyams) do not touch Him . BhagavAn's naamAs are

" Paamara-PaNDitha Paavanakara NaamadhEyams " .They saanctify

the ordinary folks as well as the learned Scholars . NaamAs of the Lord

are a portrait of His KalyANa GuNAs ( Yaani NaamAni GouNAni as per

VishNu Sahasra Naamam) . KalisantharaNa Upanishad reveals the power of

BhagavAn's dhivya NaamAs : " Bhagavatha: Aadhipurushasya

NaarAyaNasya nAmOcchaaraNa-mAthrENa nirdhUtha Kalir-bhavathi " .

Therefore , Kali Yuga dharmam is identified by VishNu PurANam as

" Kalou Sankeerthya Kesavam " . Meditation is for Krutha Yugam , Yaj~nams

for TrEthA yugam , worship in DhvAparam and what all these give ,

that one attains in Kali yugam by mere singing of the Lord's names.

That develops Bhakthi and guides one to an AchAryan to perform

SaraNAgathy and thereby gain MOksham . Rama RahasyOpanishd

reveals that one escapes from all sins by repeating the sacred Raama

Naamam ninety six crores of times . BhagavAn's Naama is hence

saluted as " the foremost MangaLam in the world ( Jagath Prathama

MangaLam) .

 

Saint ThyagarAjA revealed the srEyas of the human being , who

worships the Lord with the flowers of His gorious names :

 

" Naama KusumamulachE poojinchE nara janmamE janmamu "

Such is the glory of the Naama Sankeerthanam of Hari to gain

the boon of sarva MangaLams .
