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

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 .
