SrI:
Dear BhakthAs of MahA Lakshmi:
In this slOkam , Sri VenkatAdhri Kavi shares with us his experinces
about the power of MahA Lakshmi's names , which banish every kind of
Fatigue associated with the SamsAric life :
AmBhA LakshmIr-amruthasahabhUr-aBdhi-rAjanya- kanyA
PadhmA Viswambhara-sahacharee Padhma-sadhmA ramEthi
yO namaivam piBathy bhavathee nAma-nAmAmruthougam
TasyaivAhur-janani sulabhAm samsruthy SrAnthi Saanthim
(Meaning) : Oh Jananee ( Oh Mother of all the beings) ! Lakshmee ( Oh
Possessor of all MangaLams ) !
amrutha-sahabhU: ( Oh one born from the Milky ocean along with the Nectar ) !
abdhi-rajanya-
kanyE ( Oh daughter of the Samudhra Raajan) , PadhmA-sadhmA ( Oh the One
having the lotus
flower as Your abode) , ViSwambhara sahachari ( Oh the divine consort of the
Lord bearing
the Universe) , PadhmA ( Oh the One with the Lotus soft eyes and feet ), Ramaa(
Ramaa Devi) !
It is said that those who drink from the blissful nectarine flood of Your
divine NAmAs
( bhavathee nAma , nAmAmrutha Ogam piBathy ) , for them alone the fatigue ,
tiresomeness ,
asubhams and amangaLams arising from the samsAric way of life are banished .
( Key Words): " yO nAma bhavathee nAma amrutha Ogam piBathy , tasya yEva
samsruthy
SrAnthy Saanthy sulabhaam Aahu: ".
In one of the SrI Sthuthi slOkams , Swamy Desikan instructed us : " Those who
repeatedly recite
Your nAmAs -- LakshmI , PadhmA , Jaladhi tanayA , IndhirA and VishNu Pathnee--
do not get swirled
around the wheel of samsAram ". Sri VenkatAdhri Kavi follows this line of
thought in this 11th slOkam .
The many sufferings and the consequent fatigue assoicated with samsAric life
are removed by
the aavrutthi ( repetition) of Your divine NAmAs. Only those , who engage in
Your nAma sankeerthanam
with longing and blissful experience (rasAnubhavam) gain this relief . For
these frotunate ones , You
banish the life in this sorrowful world and grant them Moksham ( freedom from
the tiring cycles of
births and deaths ). Consistent with Your name as "Ramaa" , You delight the
hearts of such devotees .
She is the Mother of all . She is the Creatrix. She generates new energy in us
when we recite Her nAmAs
and that leads to the removal of the sufferings connected to hunger , thirst,
poverty , bodily ills , viraha
taapam , restlessness, mental worries and every other suffering.
As Lakshmi , She removes all alakshmi ( asubhams) , when we perform
sankeertanam of Her sacred
nAmAs. SrI sookta mantram instructs us thus on the power of Her nAmAs .Her
relationship with us
is beyond one janmam . Her relationship with us as our Mother is
indestructible. She has a rich set
of relations Herself . Her Lord is the One , who bears the Universe
effortlessly . Her Father is the King
of the Oceans. She Herself is " Ramayathy ithi Ramaa " ( One who enchants and
delights us and thereby
chases away our multiple fatigues , avalams and AayAsams .
