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
