Dear Sri Gokul:
As Sri VishNu Sahasra Naamam instructs, Sriman NaarAyaNan is Sthuthi Priyan
. Not that He does not know His own Vaibhavam and Ananatha KalyANa GuNams ,
He likes to hear his dear ones remind Him and celebrate that Vaibhavam . He
knows exactly who is standing before Him requesting ArchanAs thru His
SevakAs (Archakaas) and does not need any reminder about who is who . Yet
devotees in their desire to have their "special appeal " heeded , request
the Bhattar to mention the Name , nakshathram and Gothram of their dear ones
. It is like an abhivAdhanam to the Lord and to offer our respectful
prostrations before Him with the offerings that we have brought with us as
SamarpaNam . It appears that He would also like His dear consort
" to appreciate " that namaskaraNams .
Strictly speaking , Archanai done in PerumAL's name is preferrable . The key
aspect during the Archanai is to keep the mind still and listen to these
dhivya NaamAs and reflect on their meanings to have samyOgam with His
Vaibhavam for a few minutes , recieve the PrasAdham as His blessing .
V.Sadagopan
