SrI:
 
From time to time , adiyEn picks some universal messages from
Scholars and AchAryAs for general sharing .
 
HH Sri RangapriyA MahA Desikan is a great AchAryan
whose anugraha BhAshaNams have rare insights .
 
adiyEn is sharing the New Year's message extolling 
the importance of Sri VishNu Shasra Naamam recitation 
by us.
 
NamO NaarAyaNAya ,
V.Sadagopan  

On New Year's Eve there was a different kind of celebration
at the Mandiram.
Swamiji after the evening Pooja spoke briefly again continuing
his reflections on the Sri Vishnu Sahasranama.
He said that it was a garland of choicest flowers lovingly
strung together by that master mAlAkAra Sri VedaVyasa.
When we recite it we are offering the Lord the Greatest
Garland.It is also a Yagna,which is alpAyAsa but bahu-
phala.He said we should recite it in that spirit with love
reverence and joy  once every day or if that is not possible
once a week.In that case Saturday is praSasta.
 
It is also a universal panacea.It gives every purushartha you
can ask for.Swamiji chose one item out of the phalasruti-
"rOgArto muchyatE rOgAt" and spoke about it.When you
employ physical medicine it does cure the vyAdhi.So
why go in for other efforts like mantras ? But when we
take the medicine we also have the practice of reciting the
sloka "SarIrE jarjaribhUtE...vaidyo NArAyaNO Harih"
What is the need for this Sloka ? If the medicine is good
it will cure the rOga,if not it won't- irrespective of this
sloka! So why recite it ?
 
Swamiji explained- Every disease has three strata- Adhibhoutika,
Adhidaivika and AdhyAtmika.When you take the mediine you're
dealing only with the Adhibhoutika portion.The other two remain
untouched ready for future extension.It is only when you ask
for the help of the Adi-Vaidya,Sriman NArAyaNa who is the
source of both the rOga and the rOgi that you really tackle
the disease as you should.
 
He concluded by saying that,whether you know it or not He is
always in touch with you.You too have to be in touch with Him
-and that is through this medium.When the mutual contact is
established there is Peace and Joy.
 
SrImatE RangaPriya MahAGuravE Namah!
