Dear Asthikas On 11th Car festival to Swami Desikan (Rathothsavam) and on 12th Mangalasasanam by Swami Desikan to Sri Hayagreevan at Oushtadri, Thiruvaheendrapuram O!Bhagavathothamas! Kindly come, have darshan , take theertham, satari and prasadam. It will be a ever remembering event in your life A child just learning to walk has to be given a helping hand to dispel fear about falling down. We desire to acquire three purusharthas or engage ourselves in the arduous task of transgressing the three gunas, sattva, rajas, and tamas that keep us chained to samsara or whether we desire to overcome obstacles(enemies) besetting our path in either of the two aforesaid pursuits, have to rely solely on the Bhagvan's gracious help, and look to His reputed kalyana gunas to lend us a helping hand. Those gunas readily accede to our prayer as they have all taken a vow to stretch out their hand to persons afflicted with fear at their own weakness and incapacity to achieve the objects they desire. The help so rendered include the wiping out of foes and obstacles in the way of progress in realising our ambitions, provided they are rightqus It is Bhagvan's Daya which protect us. It works of it's own accord for our uplift not suddenly but in course of time (Kramath)It is vathsala( Vathsalyam)--unmindful of our faults and blemishes. It waits for an opportunity to protect us and when it comes , our protection becomes an assured fact notwithstanding our defects /drawbacks We should utter His names (countless) by smaranam and keerthanam , atleast 10 Namas Rama-dayita---fond of Mahalakshmi/ One whom Mahalakshmi is fond of Krishna--irresistable attraction Vishnu--all pervader Hari--the dispeller of all sins Thiruvikrama--Avatharam noted for three strides by Bhagvan Janardhana--one who torments foes who hinder the protection given by Bhagvan to His devotees Triyuga--possession of shad-gunas. Gnana, Bala, Aiswarya, Veerya, Sakti, Tejas Natha--Lord of all Narayana--One inwhom everything dwells and who dwells in everything (Abheeti-stavam by Swami Desikan) We have committed crores and crores of sins till now and at the moment continuing to commit sins which cannot be seen in the larger list of sins or listed out in Sastras. We should pray the Almighty saying" Oh, Sriman Narayana!To proove yourself that you are Almighty I am the fittest jeevan . You cannot get similar jeevan to proove that you are the Almighty. If you do not protect me by your grace , wherefrom are you going to get another proper jeevan receptacle for that grace?Without you I am Lordless i.e. helpless. Pray do not miss this relationship brought about by destiny. Fears of various kinds and arising from various quarters and various occasions assail me. Some take the shape of auspicious; others are even on their face inauspicious. Difference is only in form and shape. I am in great fear.When I am here , why do you go about in search of any other as an object of your grace?" It is only when we appeal to Bhagvan, Sri Hayagreevan, to take note of our dire and unique state of depravity that we can be sure of obtaining His protection So, come to Oushatadri, partake in the construction of Mahamandap there , do smaranam and keerthanam and get His paripoorna Anugraha Dasan Srikainkarya Soundararajan __________________________________ Yahoo!
