PaarTiva Samvathsaram , Simha Maasam ,

Dear BhakthAs of Sri Lakshmi Narasimhan :
 
adiyEn will now merge the special postings on HH Srimath Azhagiya Singar's
79th birthday celebrations with the tributes for MahA Lakshmi by Swamy Desikan
in his Sri Sthuthi .
 
Plan of approach in Postings
*************************************
AdiyEn will give the short summaries of  SrI Sthuthi SlOkams first and then add special
Comments . With prayers to our Loka MaathA saluted as HiraNmayee , Hari VallabhA ,
Padminee , AahlAdha Jananee , Daarithrya Naasinee , Samudhra Tanayaa ,
VishNu Vaksha STala sTithaa , Nava Durgaa and BhuvanEswari , adiyEn will
start on this PradakshiNam around the aasthAnam of this HiraNya PrAkAraa .
 
HER MANY AUSPICIOUS NAMES : CREATRIX
************************************************************
She is Loka Maatha (Visva Jananee) , who is the creatrix of the ChEtanams
and achEtanams of the world .She is also the Mother of the VedAs since She is
recognized as releasing the VedAs from BhagavAn during the time of Creation .
This relationship between the dhivya dampathis is summarized by Sri VishNu
PurANam at many places . One such passage reveals : " BhOdhO VishNupriyam
Buddhi: " . That illumines Tattvam and Vasthus is "BhOdham " according to
Sridhareeyam . Buddhi is the power to clarify that Tattvam or Vasthu and its
Svaroopam .  
 
HER MANY AUSPICIOUS NAMES : ISWARYAVATHY
******************************************************************
She is HiraNmayee . She is abundant with Gold and all other kinds of
wealth . Under Her sacred feet are the two kinds of Iswaryam known as
Sangha Nidhi and Padhma Nidhi that flow forever . She is the abhimAni dEvathai
for Iswaryam . She is DhArithrya Naasini ( one who destroys all kinds of
poverty through mantra japam and dhyAnam ). She drives away all upAya
VirOdhis that stand in the way of gaining Parama PurushArTam . For that purpose ,
She has become VarArOhA ( One who has climbed (AarOhaa) to the sacred chest of
Her Varan ( Husband) and stays there as LayaarchA Moorthy .
 
HER AUSPICIOUS NAMES: SARVAANTHARAATHMIKAA
**************************************************************************
She is also saluted as " Nava DhurgA " as the indweller and empowerer of
the Nine DurgAs : (1) KumArikai (2) Thrimoorthy (3) KalyANi (4) RohiNi 
(5) KaaLi (6) ChaNdikai (7) Saambhavee (8) Durgahi and (9) Bhadraa. 
NirNaya Sindhu quotes in this context : " ManthrAksharamayeem Lakshmeem
MaathrUNAm roopa dhAriNeem , Nava dhurgAthmikAm SaakshAth KanyAm
AavAmyaham " . 
 
HER AUSPICIOUS NAMES : MANGALA DEVI & VISHNU PATHNI
**********************************************************************************
She is SubhA ( Generator of all auspiciousness ) ; She is MangaLa Devi ;
She is BhuvanEswari ( One who commands the universe with all its sentients
and insentients );She is ParamAthmikai ( ParamAthma Svaroopam , Just as 
BhagavAn is ParamAthmA , She is also ParamAthma /Supreme Being as per
the VishNu PurANa Vaakyam :" YathA SarvagathO VishNu: TathA yEva Iyam
dhvijOtthama) .
 
HER MANY AUSPICOUS NAMES : JYOTHIRMAYEE
*******************************************************************
She is DheepthA , one who illumines with Her golden JyOthi . She is
JyOthi SvaroopiNi . Those who seek Her protection as AdhikAra ArchA
pray : " Jwalantheem tEjasA SvEna Saa mE Devi prasidhatha " .
 
HER MANY AUSPICIOUS NAMES: ANUGRAHAMAYEE
************************************************************************
She is "Anugrahaparaa " : She has anugraham as Her trait and never knows
nigraham ( anger ) . She is "Loka Soka VinAsini " ( One who destroys the sorrows
of the World ) . She is " PrasAdhAbhimukhee " and "SuprsannA " ( She is
always poised to confer Her anugraham on Her BhakthAs and has great
depth of Vaathsalyam to them ) . She is "Sivakaree" ( One who blesses
aasrithAL with auspiciousness ). She is " SubhaprAadhA" ( One who
blesses with Subham alone ) . She is " Yasasvinee" for that reason ( One with
VisEsha Keerthi as saluted by SrI Soktham: " YasasA Jwalanthee") .
She is Varalakshmi , the boon granter .      
 
Swamy AlavanthAr's dismay 
************************************
As Swamy AlavanthAr starts his eulogy of Sri Devi through his ChathusslOki ,
he is so overcome in grappling with the myriad auspicious guNams of Sri Devi
that he is about to give up and asks a rhetoric question : Oh DEvi with the name of
SrI ! who indeed can venture to describe Your Vaibhavam adequately ( SrIrithyEva
cha nAma tE Bhagavathy , BhrUma: kaTam ThvAm vayam ? ) . Here Swamy AlavanthAr
salutes Her Parathvam (Supermacy) .
 
In the next slOkam , Swamy Alavanthar reveals that even Her own husband ,
Sriman Narayanan does not know the full magnitude of Her glories ( Thvadh VallabhOapi
Prabhu: naalam mAthum iyatthayA ) . LokaikEswari! dhAnthE ! ( Oh Empress of 
the Universe and KaruNA Moorthy ) ! adiyEn is an ignoramus and yet ventures
to salute fearlessly Your vaibhavams by using my rights as Your Prapannan
( ThAmm ThvAm dhAsa ithi Prapanna ithi cha sthOshyAmyaham nirbhayO ) . 
 
Swamy Desikan drew up his pramANams from all these PoorvAchArya 
SrI Sookthis and SrI Sooktham and composed spontaneously 
the SrI Sthuthi to help a poor BrahmachAri acquire dhanam to get 
married . All of this happened right in front of Perum Devi ThAyAr
at Her sannidhi at Kaanchipuram some 700 years ago .
 
We will take up next the first SlOkam of Swamy Desikan's Sri Sthuthi .

ParivrAjaka SanyAsi .   
 
We make SamarpaNams to our AchAryan only twice a year:
(1) ChAthurmAsyam and (2) Thirunakshathram .Please join in 
to support the 79th Thirunakshathra Uthsavam in the most
Vaidhika way .
 
adiyEn is honored to make a modest pledge of $250 today for
the 79th Thirunakshathram celebrations of Srimath Azhagiya Singar .
 
adiyEn has just learnt that a fellow Sri Matam Sishya is pledging
$1,000 and this family's SamarpaNam will be matched dollar for
dollar by this devout sishyA's employer . This is a good start
in this journey towards the Thirunkashathram day .
 
adiyEn looks forward to series of pledges during the coming
days from many Ahobilam Matam SishyAs and abhimAnis .
Here is the scope and time  table for our kaimkaryam : 
 
There are 12 days in September after the end of this year's
ChAthurmAsyam, 31 days in October , 30 days in November
and 10 days in December until the 79th Thirunakshathram .
That makes a total of 83 days ( 8 stands for AshtAksharam
and 3 stands for Tatthva Thrayam here ) . We have pledges
as of today for 9 out of the 83 days . We need units of $250
for the remaining 74 days . Any amount of support from
you all is most welcome to reach the target figure .
 
Subhamasthu !
