SrI: As the great acharyan ( srimad andavan) said all namas direct only to sriman narayana. We, the samsaris on earth, are called " MishrayAgis" unlike "SomayAgis" in swetadweepam. We are called so as our mantras have rudrams etc still all the mantras are on emperuman only and not on anyone else. One rishi says that all these mantras like rudram are aimed at the antaryami sriman narayana only! But Jaimini goes ahead fantastically to say " SakshAt api " jaminihi! That is namas like rudra etc when analysed for their actual meaning indicates directly only sriman Narayana. That is why the veda bhagams with seemingly devathantra naamas HAS TO BE CHANTED by all including prapannas as it is their DUTY. There is no deviation from the svanishta of a prapanna regarding this. This is being asserted by swami desikan in krutakrutyaadhikaram in Srimad Saram. So when one says "saavithriyai nama:" we can either think of antaryami of savithri to whom the respect is being paid or without any effort simply UNDERSTAND what jaimini had said!!! Here one question might arise. When we come across Rudra nama in veda we do not discard it as it is vedas. then why does not a prapanna chant those names in circumstances other than vedic or nithyakarmas ? This is forbidden by Swami desikan with the strength of pramanas. Unless there is a situation like vedic chanting/ nithya karma like sandhyavandanam, a prapanna does not employ those namas! for example while sitting down instead of " madhava madhusoodana " he does not say " Rudra siva " :)) AdiyEn, Aravindalochanadasanudasan. SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dear Sri CS Lakshmi Narasimhan Swami, adiyEn had observed at Srimad Poundarikapuram Ashramam and heard from asmadhAchAryan His Holiness srimad PaRavaakkOttai Andavan Swami: For every pradhOsham, in the ashramam, my father (who recites Veda paarayanam at the ashramam in Srirangam daily both in the monring and in the evenings) recites Rudram as ordained by Swami. I was a bit puzzled and asked Swami as to why and how Rudram is chanted during pradhOsham. He replied that every statement of Vedas- including Rudram -implies only Sriman Narayanan; and if others think that it is for some other by name Rudran, it is incorrect and an illusion. It is but appropriate to chant Rudram by Srivaishnavas as they always do recite for ages.. - was his reponse. Regards Namo Narayana dAsan Yahoo!
