23) Sanakaadhi Mahaa yogi poojithaaya Sri
Venkatesaaya Nama:
Salutations to Lord Venkatesa , who is worshipped
by great
Yogis like Sanaka Rishi !
Once Sanaka and his brother rishis had a glorious
darsanam of Lord VenkatEsa.
They were moved by the joy of that anubhavam that
led them to create a sthOthram ,
which is recounted in the 35th Chapter of Varaaha
Puranam . Not only on that occasion ,
but also every day , these four rishis
adulate Lord Venkatesa. They also have a special
place in Aagama shastrams , where these four Maharishis
are consecrated through
prathishtai along with their Lord at all temples
duirng " the Pushpa nyaasa dEvatha "
stage and venerated .
Sanaka, Sanandana , Sanathkumaara , Sanathsujaatha
are the four
mental sons ( Maanasa puthraas) of Chathurmukha
Brahman. They
are Brahma Jn~Anis. Krishna dhvaipayana Vyasa ,
who authored Brahma
Soothrams and Various puraanams learnt Saasthraas
from Sanaka Maharishi.
The scene in which Sanaka and his brothers
taking bath in Swamy Pushkarani
to sanctify their bodies and arriving thereafter
with their father Brahma , brother Maheswara
to wish an auspicious dawn to Lord Venkatesa
is described in the 14th slokam
of Sri Venkatesa Suprabhaatham .
Mahaa Yogis like Sanaka see the Lord residing in
their heart lotuses
through dhyaanam .They see Him as the immanent in
every entity that there is
as the inner self (Sarvaantharyaamin) . Such
Mahaa Yogis perform Hrudh Yaagam
or Maanasa Pooja to the Sarvaantharyaamin and
meditate upon the dhivyaathma
svaroopam of the Lord seated in their heart lotus
. They are qualified as adhikaaris
to see the Lord through ashtaanga yoga siddhi :
ashtaanga yoga siddhaanaam
hrudhyaaga-nirathaathmanaam
yoginaam adhikaarasyaath yekasmin hrudhayesaye
These Mahaa Yogis like Sanaka also recognize
that the archaa
form ( consecrated vigrahams) of the Lord as at
Thirumala are the most easily
accessible of the five forms of the Lord ( Param ,
Vyuham, Vibhava , archaa and
antharyaami) and therefore flock to Thirumala
during the Suprabhaatham time
to enjoy the soubhaagyam of the Lord's darsanam at
this holy hour.
