SrI:

Dear Children of Sri Devi & Periya PerumAL :

The Ahobilavalli Team is planning to include the 1018 slOkams 
of Sri Lakshmi Sahasram along with many other Sri Sookthis; 
Sristhuthi, Dhvaya churukku , BhU sthuthi and GodhA Sthuthi
have already been uploaded in :

http://www.sundarasimham.org 

Sri Sthvam of KurEsar is all set to be uploaded at the above site.

Before we take on this giant effort of providing English translations to
Sriman KaNNan Swamy's Tamil postings in Sri RanganAtha PaadhukA ,
the team  would like to get some feed back on how the content of the Sundara
Simham web site is meeting your information needs on Sri VaishNavite Sri 
Sookthis.
Some of you have placed your inputs in the guestbook of the Sundarasimham 
web site . adiyEn would like to hear from more of you so that we can take into
account your inputs on content , the depth of coverage , Fonts used and anyother
things that  we can attend to as we build up the site . We are going to do it 
once 
and it will be good to design the content with the desirable common denominator
in mind .

Sixteen e-books are already at the web site for you to enjoy and 38 plus 
e-books are ready for uploading over the next four weeks .The  target is 108 
e-books that can be accessed by you ( AchArya Sri Sokthis , Dhivya Prabhnadhams 
,
Rahasya granthams , ProuDa granthams et al) before November 20, 2006 ,
the SathAbhishEkam day of HH Srimath Azhagiya Singar at Srirangam .  

We are looking into printing these e-books in cooperation with an on-demand 
printing house in USA  . 

Please send us your feedback about the usefulness of these e-books 
against your information needs  , if you have not already done so .

Now let us focus on one of the Lakshmi Sahasram slOkams ,
where the Kavi discusses the uselessness of saluting Navagrahams 
instead of worshipping Sarva MangaLa Moorthy , Sri Devi .

SlOkam :

PadhmE yEshAm ucchabhAvO na nithya:
   yE sarvEapi sTAnabhEdhEna theekshNA:
yashtusthushDir-nagrahAmsthAnatasthvAm
   nithyounnathyAm noumi sarvathra mrudhveem

Oh PadhmAsani ! adiyEn  will not salute the nava grahams (na noumi) . adiyEn 
will prostrate only before You.The reasons are twofold. They have two major 
blemishes : 

(1) They are in ascendance ( Uccha sTAnam ) only for a limited time ( Uccha 
bhAvE na nithya: ) . Sooryan is recognized to be uccham ( ascendant) in mEsha 
rAsi; Chandran in Vrushabha rAsi . Once they move from these exalted and 
benovolent positions of theirs , every one of the nava grahams lose their boon 
granting capabiliites and MangaLathvam .Why should adiyEn pay attention to 
these unsteady vyakthis?  I will not .  

(2) Furhter, their svabhAvams change once they come down from their Uccha Raasi 
to neecha rAsi . None of the nine are known for their unchanging 
benovolence.One day  or other , they display vikArams (Changes in svabhAvams) . 
Not only do they lose their auspiciousness , but they  become cruel , when they 
enter into neecha Raasis ( yE sarvEapi sTAna bhEdhEna theekshNA:) . Thus , 
there is nothing steady in their svabhAvams . They have mood swings ,

When adiyEn compares them with You , adiyEn is overwhelmed by Your unquestioned 
superiortiy over the nava grahams . Your loftiness is forever and intrinsic ( 
svabhAvikam). It does not change with time , place or dEsam . Your permanence 
in loftiness and undiminished capacity to grant the desired boons at all times 
is not shared by the nava grahams . adiyEn can only worship You with
unchanging oudhAryam ( generosity) .

Secondly , there are those who change their guNams from place to place and from 
moment to moment . They behave kindly with a few and display anger at others . 
There is no steady stream
of Dayaa that can be expected from them . You on the otherhand is an undimished 
pravAham of 
Dayaa . You are forever lofty and superior to all of the nava grahams in Your 
display of compassion
to the sufferring chEtanams .You are " NithYonnathai " and " Sarvathra 
Mrudhvee" .That is why adiyEn salutes only you and do not go near the nava 
grahams for anything .
