14) Sadaa Vaayu Stutaaya nama:
Sri Venkatesa is adulated not only
by us mortals, but also by all the celestials
worth their name ("amarndu
vaanavar vaanavar konodum namandrezhum Tiruvenkatam").
One of these is the Vaayu
Bhagavaan, representing the life-giving air, without the circulation
of which this Universe and its
billions of inhabitants would perish instantly.
Such a powerful entity as this
Vayu Bhagavan constantly worships Srinivasa,
speaking volumes about the glory,
power and magnificence of Tiruvenkatamudayaan.
"Bheeshaasmaat Vaata:
pavate" says the Taittiriyopanishad, telling us that even the powerful
Wind God blows, out of fear
and respect for Srinivasa, showing Him up to be the Supreme
Controller of all sentient and
non-sentient beings, at whose bidding they perform
the respective functions assigned
to them.
The fact that there is
always a pleasant wind blowing in the Tirumala Hills,
irrespective of the season,
is proof enough of Vayu's constant adulation of the Lord.
Further, Akaasa Raja
(Emperor of the Skies) is the Lord's own father-in-law.
It is therefore no wonder
that the Wind God, whose path lies across the skies,
pays tribute to his host's
distinguished Son-in-Law.
Another link to this naaama is found in Vaamana
PurANam .
Once Vaayu Bhagavaan performed sever penance for a
thousand
years at Thirumala . Lord SrinivAsan appeared
before the overwhelmed
Vaayu and gave His darsanam with His DEvis seated
on the back of Garudan .
Vaayu eulogized the Lord with sixty four slOkmas
containing the essence of
VedAntham known as Vaayu GeethA . This constant
adoraration of
the Lord by Vaayu with his sthOthram gave
rise to this naamaa.
