SrI:
 
Dear Sri HayagrIva Bhakthas :
 
In the last posting , we reflected on the 9th naamaa of Panjaram,
which led us further to the dhyAna slOkam of Lord Hayagreevan
in his Sri HayagrIva SthOthram  .
 
The two other dhyAna SlOkams for Lord HayagrIvan from His
Sahasra Naamam would also be instructive for roopa dhyAnam
and Vaibhava keerthanam :
 
VidhyA moorthim  akhaNDa-chandravalaya-svEthAravindhAsTitham
hrudhyAm sphaDikaadhri nirmala tanum vidhyOtamAnam SriyA
VaamAnga-sTitha-VallabhAm prathi sadhaa vyAkhyAntham AamnAya-
VAgarTAn Aadhimapurusham Hayamukham dhyAyAmi HamsAthmakam
 
---- DhyAna SlOkam 1 
 
VisvAthmA viSada-prabhA prathilasadh VaakdEvathA maNDalO
dEvo dakshiNa-paaNi-yugma vilasadh BhOdhAnga chakrAyudha:
vaamOdagrakarE dharam tadh-itarENa-aaslishya dhOshNA RamAm
hasthAgrE dhrutha-pusthaka: sa dayathAm HamsO HiraNyacchada:
 
DhyAyana SlOkam 2
 
The first slOkam reminds us of the divine body of the Lord HayagrIvan
( the VidhyA Moorthy ) being like a blemishless SpaDika hill seated in
the middle of Chandra Mandalam on a white lotus and instructing His
son on the meanings of the Veda Manthrams . He is saluted at the end
of the DhyAna SlOkam as HamsAthmakan .
 
The second  dhyAna slOkam describes the mudhrAs on the Lord's hands
and His embrace of Lakshmi with one hand and the SrikOsam in His hand .
This slOkam also salutes Him as Hamsa: 
 
In the Medhini Kosam , Hamsa Sabdham has been equated to VishNu ,
Sooryan and a type of horse . For Lord HayagrIvan , Hamsa Sabdham 
denotes MahA VishNu avathAran with a man's trunk and horse's head .
 
The VishNu Tilakam of PaancharAthra Saasthram recognizes this Hamsa
sabdhan as " Bhukthi Mukthi PradhAyaka HayagrIvan " and goes on
to describe the yEkAkshara Manthram of HyagrIvan for which BrahmA is
Rishi , chandas is Devi Gayathri and HayAnan is the DevathA . 
 
The dhyAnam for this yEkAkshari of PaancharAthram (VishNu Tilakam ) is :
 
HayagrIvam aham vandhE sphaDikAchala sannibham
ChandramaNDala-madhyastham SarasvathyA samanvitham
vyAkhyAmccha pusthakam Sankham chakrasccha dhatham karai:
mEga-gambheerayA vAchA vykhyAntham nikhilAgamAn
Brahma-Sankara-Vaagheesabharathy-VyAsa sEvitham
plAvayantham jagath sarvam sva-dEhOtTaamruthAmsubhi:
 
The phala Sruthi for the japam and Jala tarpaNam with this
manthram is stated as :
 
"SiddhE Hamsamanou VaaNi Vaachi nruthyathi sarvadhA ,
  anEna ManthrarAjEna nAsAdhyam vidhyathE bhuvi "
 
when one attains Mantra Siddhi of this yEkAkshari of Hamsa
sabdhan (HayagrIvan ) , Sarasvathy dances on one's tongue
(speech) always and with the power of this king of manthrams ,
nothing ever becomes impossible to attain .
 
When one reflects on the inner meanings of Sri HayagrIva SthOthram ,
one can map one on one its relationship to VishNu Tilakam and how
Swamy Desikan constructed His first sthOthram to eulogize Lord
HayagrIvan , who appeared before him after he attained Mantra siddhi 
on top of the Oushadha Giri at Thiruvaheendhrapuram .
 
Such is the sacredness of Oushadha Giri , where the MahA Mantapam
is being constructed .
 
In the next two postings , adiyEn will cover the rest of the content of
Sri HayagrIva Panjaram .
