Selected NaamAs from 212- *********************************** 212) PurANAya Nama: Salutations to Lord HayagrIvan , who is in the form of Saathvika PurANams ! He is PurANa Roopi . 213) IthihAsAya Nama: Salutations to Lord HayagrIvan , whose Vaibhavam is being celebrated in the two IthihAsams ! He is IthihAsa Roopi . 214) SmruthayE Nama: Salutations to Lord HayagrIvan , who is blessing us through the Smruthis (Tradiitonal scriptures , which include the VedAngAs ( limbs of Vedams) , the law books ( Dharma SaasthrAs) , the epics (IthihAsAs) and PurANAs like VishNu PurANam . At another level Smruthi covers perception as a valid means of knowledge. 215) SoothrAya Nama: Salutations to Lord HayagrIvan presiding over the SoothrAs . SoothrA here can refer to Brahma SoothrAs or Kalpa SoothrAs . SoothrAs in general are set as aphorisms ( extremely condensed and cryptic statements) requiring a commentary (BhAshyam) for explanation of the TatthvArTams . Kalpa SoothrAs are one of the six limbs of VedAs to help us conduct Vedic YaagAs and SamskArAs . Kalpa Texts are either Srauta SoothrAs , which relate to the VedAs/Srithis or SmArta SoothrAs that are based on Smruthis . 216) SamhithAyai Nama: Salutations to Lord HayagrIvan , who is in the form of the various Veda Samhithais . 217) AachArAya nama: Salutations to Lord HayagrIvan , the Moola Purushan for Vedic AachAram ( religious conduct ) . There are dhAnta aachAram (Doctrinal approach to good religious conduct ) , which is established over time as KulAchAram ( traditional approach practised by the austere families) . 220) SrImathE Nama: Salutations to Lord Hayagrivan filled with the bliss of auspiciousness . 221) SrIgirE nama: Salutations to Lord HayagrIvan , who is present as the sacred veda Vaak (speech) . 222) Sriya: KaanthAya nama: Salutations to Lord HayagrIvan , the divine consort of SrI Devi ! 229) SrithavathsalAya Nama: Salutations to Lord HayagrIvan , who has the greatest affection for those , who have sought His refuge ! 244-246) SathyAya Nama: , JN~AnAya Nama: , AnanthAya Nama: Here is an Upanishadic salutation : " Satyam Jn~Anam anantham BrahmA ". The essential nature (Svaroopam) of Brahman is Satya ( Real) , Jn~Ana ( Knowledge) and ananta (Infinite) . " Satyam-Jn~Anam Anantam Brahma" is the LakshaNa Vaakyam for Brahman and it is saluted here thru three contiguous HayagrIva Sahsra Naamams. 244) Brahman is saluted by BruhadAraNyaka Upanishad as " Satyasa Sathyam" ( Reality of the Real) . Brahman is understood here as "Satya " because it is never subject to any kind of changes ( nirvikhAra Satya svaroopam) . 245) The Jn~Ana svaroopam of Brahman is understood as pure consciousness . Different Upanishads describe the Jn~Anam in different and yet complimentary ways . TaittirIyam states that Brahman possesses " knowledge as an attribute ( Jn~AnaguNakan). The extension of this definition is that Lord HayagrIvan is Sarvajn~an ( Omniscient) . BruhadAraNyam salutes Him as " Vijn~AthrA " . That also means He is a Sarvajn~an and Jn~AnaguNakan. Jn~Anam combined with Sakthi enables the Brahman to create this Universe of Naama-Roopa form , indwellership in all created objects, niyanthA (controllership) of them , nourishing the created objects and ultimately dissolving them . 246) Ananta means infinite and it denotes the inherent nature (Svaroopam) and and distinguishing charactrestric of Brahman. Brahman as Ananta" is infinite because of its omnipresence , it exists all the time and it pervades all the objects in the universe". Therefore HayagrIvan saluted by the NaamA of Ananta is " infinite both with respect to Svaroopam and dharma". 250) BrahmamayAya Nama: Salutations to Lord HyagrIvan , who is the embodiment of Brahman ! 251) AchyuthAya Nama : Salutations to the Lord , who never fails anyone , who has sought His refuge . AdiyArkaLai KaividAthavan . He is Natha Sathyan . He is adiyavarkku Meyyan . In the very first slOkam of His Achyutha Sathakam , Swamy Desikan appeals to aasthikAs to prostrate before the eternal JyOthi , Achyuthan , who is forever true to His aasrithALs( Namatha ThridhsAnAm NaaTam Sathyam DhAsAnAm Achyutham sTirajjyOthi: ) . He never lets down anyone , who has sought His protection thru Prapatthi . Therefore , He is known as Achyuthan and DhAsa Satyan . 252) agrEbhavathE Nama: Salutations to the Lord , who appears before the devotees , who perform japam on His Manthram andmeditate on Him . This is exactly waht happened to Swamy Desikan on top of Oushadha Giri . 253) NagAya Nama: Salutations to the Lord in the form of the Mountain ( Oushadha Giri). It is customary for AzhwArs and AchAryAs to equate the Lord to the mountain ( ThiruvEnkatam , Hasthi Giri , ThirumAlirumchOlai). 254) NithyAya Nama: Salutations to the Lord , who is eternal in existence . 255) ParamAya Nama: Salutations to Lord HayagrIvan , who is the Supreme among gods ( Parama Purushan ). 256) PurushOtthamAya Nama: Salutations to the Lord , who is the Supreme Self . He has full control over the Kshara( perishable ) Selves and the freed selves (akshara).He is " the Supreme person because of His Supreme greatness in being antagonistic to all that is evil and in being endowed with auspicious attributes , which are different in kind from both the perishable and imperishable selves ". On entering the earth , PurushOtthaman upholds all beings and nourishes all herbs (oushadhis) with His strength . About Himself, Lord declares in the 15th slOkam of the 15th Chapter of GeethA ( PurushOtthma Yogam) that He is seated in the hearts of all . He says further that as PurushOtthaman, He controls the memory , Knowledge and their removal as well . He points out that He alone is the One to be known through all the VedAs and that He brings about the fruition of the rituals of the VedAs and He is the knower of the VedAs. Thus PurushOtthman identifies Himself as the Supreme Self ( ParamAthman). 257) YoganidhrAparAya Nama: Salutations to that Yoga HayagrIvan , who is in Yoga SamAdhi , where He contemplates on the ways to save the Bhaddha Jeevans from their sufferings . The archA Moorthy of Yoga Hayagrivan was presented to Swamy Desikan by VyanathEyar on OushadhAdhri hills , That ArchA Moorthy is still being worshipped at Thiruvaheendhrapuram . 258) SwAminE Nama: Salutations to HayagrIvan , who is the Master of All ! He is the Lord of All ! Swami also means spiritual perceptor , the Aadhi Guru . 265-267) AanandhAya Nama: , SarvAn nandhayathE nama: , and AanandhinE Nama: /// Here Sri HayagrIvan is saluted as the Bliss Principle (Aanandha). Aanandham is both the Svaroopam and dharmam (distinguishing attributes). He is the top of the Five kOsams as " aanandha maya kOsam " according to TaitthirIya Upanishad.The Aanandha of Brahman is infinite bliss. Brahma Soothram says in thsi context: " AanandhamayO abhyAsAth". The Upanishad shows the identity of Brahman as Aanandham: " AanandhO BrahmEthi vyajAnAth". 266) SarvAn nandhayathE Nama: He is Raaman , abhirAman . He is JaganmOhanan. He gladdens the heart of all , who has His darsana soubhAgyam . Through His SarvAnga Soundharyam , Souseelyam , Soulabhyam and other KalyANa guNams , Lord HayagrIvan immerses His bhakthAs in an ocean of bliss . 267) AanandhinE Nama: Salutations to the Lord on Oushadha Giri , who derives great joy in welcoming the SaraNaagathAs and confers sakala soubhAgyams on them . Thirumangai salutes the Veda Moorthy as "yemakkum yeentharuLum Yanthai ". The words "yeenthu aruLum " are a powerful set . They suggest that He confers on us the soubhAgyams that we asked for as well as those that we did not even think about . Such is His oudhAryam and He takes a great joy in granting all those boons . **************************************************************************************** Please participate in Lord HayagrIvan's kaimkaryam to complete the construction of the MahA Mantapam at the OushadhAdhri hills of Thiruvaheendhrapuram .
