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.
