SrI: NamO VenkatEsAya Dear BhakthAs of Lord SrInivAsa of Thirumalai: One of the Morning daily Manthra AarAdhana Kramams at Thirumala is the archanai of the Lord with SrI Venkatesa Sahasra Naamam from BrahmANda PurAnam. Brahma is the Rishi for this Manthra AarAdhanai; Chandas is anushtup and SrIvatsAnga Ramaa Vibhu ( Lord SrInivAsan) is the Devathai for this manthra roopa AarAdhanam. This Sacred Sahasra Naamam is the result of discussions (SamvAdham ) Sages NaaradhA and VasishtA. After this ManthrArAdhanam with the Naama sahasrams , the First bell is rung , Bali , SaaRRumuRai take place. Now Suddhi is done and the Second ManthrArchanA takes place inside the garbha Graham. It is an EkAntha ArchanA , where no one else is admitted . The 108 NaamAs of the Lord from VarAha PurANam is recited and the second bell is rung to get ready for the first of the two Sarva Darsanam (7.30 A.M to 19.00 P.M) for the day. Thus in the daily aarAdhanam of the Lord of the Seven Hills the two ManthrArAdhanams thru Naama Sahasram and AshtOttharam play a very important role . adiyEn looked around for a commentary on either of these two SthOthrams . adiyEn thought that TTD might have released monographs on these two important SthOthrams used daily for the Lord's worship. adiyEn did not find any until a great Venkatesa BhakthA, SrIman Kamisetty SrinivAsulu Garu presented me with a small 1975 monograph on the Sahasrams by SrI SwarnAnandha , a disciple of SankarAchArya of Govardhan Peetam .The meanings of the nAmAs are given in one line pattern. adiyEn thought it will be an auspicious Kaimakryam to expand on them with the bhakthi-laden insights of the 202 AzhwAr Paasurams on the Lord of Seven Hills and other PoorvAchArya SthOthrams like Swamy Desikan's DayA sathakam and others. adiyEn will seek the blessings of the Kali Yuga Vara PrasAdhi, SrI Venkatesan to commence this Kaimkaryam for SamarpaNam at His Lotus feet and present it in the Oppiliappan and SaraNAgathi lists as an integral part of Sri DevanAthan's RathnAngi Kaimkaryam. It is indeed appropriate to link the postings to the Current series on ThiruvhIndhrapuram since Lord DEvanAthan is considerd by many as the Nadu Naattu Dhivya Desa SrInivAsan . adiYen prays "MahAnthPO anugrhNanthu" and seek Lord SrInivAsan's anugraham to start on this kaimkaryam. NamO SrI VenkatEsAya, Daasan , Oppiliappan Koil VaradAchAri Sadagopan
