Reflections on Sri HayagrIva Sahasra Naamams
**************************************************
Lord HayagrIvan's Sahasra Naamas are most fascinating and unusual .
This HayagrIva Sahasra NaamAm is unusual in the sense that it has
so many BheejAksharams . Extraordinary piety and AcchAra--anushtAnam
would be  needed to recite these Sahasra Naamams . Number of the names
remind one of the Hala-Hala dhvani of Lord HayagrIvan . Our Lord of
Sakala Vidhyais is revered as " Visuddha Vijn~Ana ghana svaroopan "
( totally blemishless svaroopam , which is the embodiment of Jn~Anam
of the highest order). He is " VaachAm Nidhi : " ( the abode of all kalais
and Veda Vaak) . Swamy Desikan has saluted His Svaroopam as
" Manthramayam Sareeram " ( a divine body made up of Manthrams
and BheejAksharams) . Swamy Desikan visualizes Lord Hayagrivan
presenting Himself in the middle of the tall fire (Agni) of the Yaagams
to recieve the consecrated offerings ( Havis) to distribute them to
the subservient Devathais( slOkam 10 of Sri Hayagreeva SthOthram ) :

" Agnou sammidhArchishi sapthatanthO:
     aatasTivAn MANTHRAMAYAM SAREERAM
   akhaNDa sArair-HAVISHAAM  praadhAnai:
      aapyAyanam vyOma sadhAm vidhathsE "

The 11th SlOkam of Sri HayagrIva SthOthram salutes the Lord
as " AksharAm akshara-mAthrukAm ThvAm Visuddha SathtvA:
tathvEna Jaananthy " ( Oh Lord! Those pious ones with exalted
Satthva GuNams recognize You as the tap root of Vedams ,
PraNavam , which is the first among all eternal seed utterances ) .
HayagrIvOpanishad salutes the body ( ThirumEni ) of Lord in this
context as " PraNavOdhgItha VapushE " . His Body is largely
made of Saama Veda Udhgeetha PraNavam according to
the Upanishad .

These links of Lord HayagrIvan to PraNavam and BheejAksharams
are fully incorporated in Sri HyagrIva Sahasra NaamAm . OmkAra
PraNavam is the most celebrated and the loftiest of PraNavam since
it contains the power of all other PraNavams like the Pancha PraNavams .
Let us see how quickly the HayagrIva SahasranAmam includes the homage
to the Lord through His PraNavams .

Let us see the sequence of HayagrIva Sahasra NaamAs to illustrate
the importance of the PraNavams and BheejAksharams in it .

This SahasranAmam starts with what one would anticipate :

(1) (PraNavam) SrI HayagrIvAya Nama :

(2) (PraNavam) SrIm Nama:  ( MahA Lakshmi"s BheejAksharam
       is included here to emphasize that She is anapAyini and
       as such the Lord is never ever seperated from Her ).

(3) (PraNavam ) HamsAya Nama:

      Swamy Desikan refers to the Hamsa Tatthvam in the 14th slOkam of
      SrI HayagrIva SthOthram : " ManOgatham pasyathi Ya: sadhA ThvAm ,
      maneeshiNAm mAnasa RAAJAHAMSAM ". In the HimAlayan lake known
      as ManasarOvar , the Raaja Hamsam ( the Emperor of Swans) resides .
      just like that Raaja Hamsam , Oh Lord HayagrIvA , You reside in the
     minds      of the pious Jn~Anis and become the object of their dhyAnam
.

Now comes the string of BheejAksharam based salutations:

(4) (PraNavam) hamm( as in HAMsam) HayagreevAya Nama:

(5) (PraNavam ) EimOmAthmanE Nama :

       Here , the Lord is viewed as having the BheejAksharam of "Eim ".

(6) (PraNavam) KleemAthmanE Nama :

      Here , the Lord is recognized as incorporating the BheejAksharam
      of " Kleem ".

(7) (PraNavam) Sriya: Sriyai Nmaa:

      Here Thirumangai AzhwAr's salutation of TherazhundhUr Aaamuruvi
      Appan is echoed : " Thiruvukkum ThiruvAhiya Selvan ". He is recognized
      as the auspiciousness of the Auspicious MahA Lakshmi .

(19) (PraNavam) SroushaD Nama:

(20) (PraNavam ) VoushaD Nama:

(22) (PraNavam) HoomphaDAthmanE Nama:

(23) (PraNavam) HumAthmanE Nama:

(24) ( PraNavam) Hreem Nama :

(25) ( PraNavam) krOm nama:

(26) (PraNavam ) Hloum Nama:

(101) (praNavam ) Mi nama:

(102) (PraNavam) Mee Nama:

(103) (PraNavam)  Mu Nama:

(104) (PraNavam ) Mru Nama:

(105) ( Pranavam ) Mroo Nama: / ( MrU Nama:)

(106) ( PraNavam) Mlu nama: ( Makaaram plus La kAram) .

( 107) ( PraNavam) Mloo Nama:/ (MlU Nama:)
           MakAram+ LakAram+OokAram)

(108) (PraNavam) mE Nama:

(109) (PraNavam) Mai Nama:

(110) (PraNavam ) mO Nama:

(111) (PraNavam ) BindhavE  Nama :
           The Bindhu(dot) at the center of Yanthrams have significant
            power.

(112) (PraNavam) VisargAya Nama:

(113) ( PraNavam) HrasvAya Nama:

(114) ( PraNavam) DheergAya nama:

(115) ( PraNavam) PluthAya nama:

(116) (PraNavam) SvarAya Nama:

(117) (PraNavam) UdhAtthAya Nama:

(118) ( PraNavam)  anudhAtthAya nama:

(119) ( PraNavam) svarithAya Nama:

(120) (PraNavam) prachayAya Nama:

>From 121 to 154 NaamAs , the DEvathAs inside whom the Lord resides
as AntharyAmi Brahman are invoked with various mAthrukA aksharams:

(121) (PraNavam) Kamm Nama: , Khamm Nama: , Gamm Nama: , ghamm Nama:
Jnamm Nama: and proceeds on to four kinds of Cha , Da , Ta , Pa and ends
with mumm , yamm , rum , lamm , vamm , Samm , shamm . samm , hamm
(as in HAMsam), Lamm ( L as in MangaLam) , Kshamm .

Next burst of BheejAksharams occurs between 291st Naamaa and 300th NaamA :
Hloumm Nama: (291) , hloom Nama: , hammhamm nama : , hayAya nama: ,
Hamsoomm Nama: , Hamsaamm nama: , Hamseemm nama: , hasoomm nama: ,
Hasoumm nama: , hasoomham nama: ( 300) .

A deep knowledge of Manthra Saasthram is needed to intrepret the deep
meanings of the above bheejAksharams and the adhidEvathais that worship
the Lord and in whose bodies He is the empowering principle as the indweller
.
We will not explore the meanings and references of these   powerful nAmAs
based on single or compounded BheejAksharams .

Rest of the Sahasra NaamAs have their own beautiful and deep meanings .
The word plays are astounding some times and require careful explanations
as these nAmAs occur next to each other in clusters :

NishadhE Nama: (33rd NaamA ) , upanishadhE Nama: (34th Naama)

Naamas 35 to 42 :

NeechairAthmanE Nama: , UcchairAthmanE Nama : , samamAthmanE Nama: ,
sahAthmanE Nama: , SasvadhAthmanE Nama: , yugapadhAthmanE Nama: ,
ahnAyAthmanE nama: , SanairAthmanE Nama:

A good amount of knowledge about the SaasthrArTams  would be needed
to explain the meanings of these nAmAs .

The prabhAvam and Vaibhavam of  Veda NaarAyaNan (Lord Hayagreevan)
can be understood fully only by the likes of Swamy Desikan to whom the Lord
revealed His Tatthva Maya , Manthra Maya Sookshma Sareeraam .

May our participation in the MahA MaNtapa Kaimkaryam to Him please
Him !
