These Six are [blue] 1. She is attained by those who wish to be redeemed and uplifted. 2. She approaches Her Lord Herself for that purpose. She pleads with Him. 3. She out of Her compassion listens to the appeal by chetanams to protect them. 4. She invites the attention of Her Lord about the plight of the Jeevas and appeals to Him to overlook their multitudinous trespasses. 5. She chases away the the things(which prevents attaining salvation) that stand in the way of the fulfilment of Sarana gathy. 6. She brings to perfection the aathma gunams of those, who seek Her rakshaNam.[/blue]

how .

such a person like you

SLOKAM#(2) Contd . Oh divine mother how a person with little KNOWLEDGE can start chanting Praising you. Your place of living are HIS Vakshsthalam & lotus field. You came out of Parkadal (SHIRA SAHARAM) & as SeethaG you came out of Yagna salai. Thus un like My Lord Sriman Narayanan you never under gone womb living(GARBA VASAM) and you appeared(avataram) in this world. If we look /notice your greatness & Keerti I just don’t understand How a a person with little knowledge(STHOKA PRAGJNAN) can start chanting Praising you? Oh Perum Devi! I engage in praising You. Is it proper for me to evaluate Your vaibhavams? How lofty is Your place of birth How loftyi s Your chosen places of residence? How immense is the magnitude of Your wealth?How great are Your auspicious Gunams? How can adiyen think of coming to termswith them all and venture to sing in praise of Your unlimited Vaibhavam? (BHUMA)You took Your avatharam first in the Milky Ocean and then appeared (AAVIRBHAVAM)in the Yaaga Saalai of King Janaka at Mitilapuri. In both these manifestations,You were self-manifest and did not have to endure garbha Vaasam like Your husbandin Raama-Krishna avatharams Contd . One place of your residence, the Lotus pond Known for its natural fragrance and purity. The other place of residence of yours isthe sacred chest of Your Lord. There is no one who can claim to have those lofty stanams (places of residence). All the wealths of this world (LEELA VIBHUTI)and the Supreme abode (Nithya Vibhuti / Sri Vaikuntam) are under Your rulership. …. Your anantha Kalynaa gunams are beyond anyanyone's grasp. Each of these many gunams is difficult to comprehend and describe. Thus in every aspect, You’r matchLess. Swamy Vedanta Desikan identifies himself as a sthoka Prajgnan” or a person of limited intellect. Sthoka means little or small. Prajgna means intuitive wisdom It is customary for great Acharyans to acknowledge their disqualifications when they engage in sthuthis about Bhagavan and His Devi, Maha Lakshmi. .

Maha Lakshmi when chetanas ( people /living things with awareness about supreme reality) achetanas with profound devotion starts chanting praise( stuti) {to attain all the better things }this world start noticing their effort & acknowledge their bakthi and start praising them. These things happen because of you, their bakthi towards you Devi. Although I a person with limited intellect having any other go except you thiruvadi Devi , trying to the job of chanting slokams upon you, it ‘s an

impossible/uphill task ; I’m still trying I certainly believe you will make me do the job of praising you by your benign grace . The world will take notice about this & I will be celebrated for this effort. There is no doubt about this. Who don’t want to prostrate on your Thiruvadi(feet) ( charanagati) , to perform this kainkaryam( devoted duty) and seek all the better things?like wise I’m also trying to this. Although I don’t have the ability to sthothram(chanting praise) you but the desire* to do so will see through it and I will get all the better things. [blue]*[u]Compare[/u] In His Vishnu sahasranama Vyakyanam Varadhachari sadagopan swami ( sadagopan .org)mentions about a little kid goes to his mother & demands to have an Orange. The baby miss pronounce Orange as [b]‘Ange[/b]”,but the mother understands what her baby wants & give him the[i] orange [/i]ignoring the pronunciation mistake. Like wise Divine Mother, just see through the sincere effort put by us & not the mistakes in chanting /sthothram by us.[/blue] {This is what our Acharyan swami Vedanta Desikan implies here}

Devi, Maha Lakshmi. Loka Mata [i]your Husband Lord[b] SRIMAN NARAYANAN [/blue][/i] has many

qualities***.[blue]

 HE becomes the Antaryami of all Chetanas & achetanas (achetanan opposite of chetanan..Chetanan means one who knows about the supreme reality.)(Antar bahicha tat sarvam vyapya Narayana stita: Narayana suktam)

 By virtue of HIS sankalpam the act of Creation, protection & eradication is just like a game To HIM  By taking HIS Chest as your place of living, you never leave that place there by HE get the name Srinivasan. By moving your red lacquer (Tamizh=Sen nira alankaram= Sem Panju kuzhambu thadaviya Padangal=is it ok.correcta sollungo?) decorated feet. You are making a permanent mark on HIS chest. It further glorifies HIS beauty/appearance.[/blue]

 The Yogis, who are contemplating HIM thro the Nirvikalpa Samadhi, Set their mind (Aim) the above said (3) red marks in his chest as their aim to attain salvation & ever blissfulness. The Nitya suris enjoys the ever blissfulness by concentrating on the above marks in his Vakshasthalam 

Because of HIS kalyana gunam he’ stays as paripoornan.

 [blue] All this are possible to HIM because of your brightness (jyoti) you have taken residence in HIS Vakshasthalam, & there by glorifying HIS appearance.[b]. pl.ref (stanza #(1) Bhushayantheem Svakanthya)[/b][/blue] [red] She resides on the chest of this Paramathma engaged in many vyaparams through His Sankalpa Balam. Her foot is decorated with a radiant red lacquer dye. That rubs on the chest of the Lord, when she moves and leaves a mark of her presence. All the glories of the Lord arise from her presence on His chest and her Presence in turn is revealed by the mark of the red dye from Her Thiruvadi. The Vedantis recognize Him from that lakshanam and eulogize Him as the Supreme Being based on that revelation. She is the auspiciousness behind our Lord's auspiciousness. She is Sri and He is SrinivAsan. That is how He is recognized and revered …says the 4th Slokam.[/red] [i] [Blue]***As per the ( Vedic tradition)Vedas one has to praise the spouse’s qualities to respective betterhalf of that particular party -. In [b] Sri Suktham [/b] the Vedam glorifies / praises the qualities of SRI i.e. Maha Lakshmi to Bagawan Vishnu (- Mukkur Lakshmi Narasimachar swami.)

……….Contd………. [p] …… Stanza #(9)….Contd….. [This is going to b a very lengthy one. I apologize for this pl. [u][i] Jagat Janani, Loka mata, Maha Lakshmi , [/u][/i] [p] A.)There are many siddhantam and they have different views about their ideas. Some [blue] (कितिचद) [/blue] say that you are the Empress of this universe.

B.)One group states that you and Sriman Narayanan are only one Aathma but have two separate bodies. Another group Believes that Bagawan himself also known as Lakshmi and there is no separate form of Lakshmi. C.)A select few believe that you are [blue] (तिामेि) [/blue] the Supreme over and above the three, truth/reality(Tattvam) viz [i] Chetanan{चेतणन} (knower), Achetanan and Iswaran (Master).[/i] Thus, all of these groups accept you, Bhagavati, as Sarveswari and yet argue with each other.. D.)Another[blue](अपरे )[/blue] group opposing this view ,that Lakshmi is Sarveswari, denies Your Sarveswaratvam and insists that Vishnu is the Lord of the entire universe [blue] (लोकनाथं) .[/blue] (Sarveswaran) and that you (Lakshmi) have no claim to be called Sarveswari.

0:49:58 a10/p1010/15/2008 22

E.)They claim that you are a visesha Jeevan.These two groups insist and reject [blue] (अंत: कलि) [/blue] iswarathvam for Lakshmi & argue vehemently for their points of view and become exhausted just like a fellow who is drowning tries to come up for breather & drowns again .[blue] ( िकमचीद उतीिि मगनै) .[/blue]

F.) These people declare that the Saasthram (indoctrination / theory) backed their views and are unable to establish their points of views. They come forward to accept that Lakshmi is a separate reality/identity and accept your Vaibhavam (greatness) but they fall apart by not accepting your Iswarathvam (nature of Being Iswari).[i][/red] ,………………….. Contd……………. [p] …… Stanza #(9)….Contd….. [blue] oh Divine mother, Maha Lakshmi , [u][b] Our Siddhantham (Doctrine/Principle) [/u] is quite different [/b].:- .[/blue]

a) We believe that Your Lord engages in acts such as Creation of the world etc.., for your amusement. [blue] (तित सममपीतिै). .[/blue]

b) The Vedas when looked superficially, appears to be talking about HIM alone,. c) If one studies the shrutis deeply, it becomes clear that the [i]inner meaning of the Vedas is about revering you both as equal [/i]. .

d) Therefore, we consider[i] Both (Perumal & Maha Lakshmi) of You as Supreme deity (पर दे ितै) [/i].During the performance of [blue] Prapatti (पपित-Surrender to the Lord).[/blue]; one has to accept both of you as [blue]upayam (means) .[/blue] for offering the Aathma. [i] In some Sacrifices the saasthram (theory) point out that one has to combine two Devatas and offer the Havis to that united Devatai.[/i]

e) Therefore, in [blue][i] Prapatti sacrifice - {apt Sanskrit term for”Prapatti’ is Bharanyaasa***).[/blue] - one has to aim BOTH OF YOU as the target to offer the Aathma as the Havis. THUS, conclude the Prapatti yagjnam successfully [/i].

f) As a fruit of that Offering, the [blue] Chetanan / liberated Jeevan should perform Nithya Kainkaryam to BOTH OF YOU at Your Supreme abode. Both of you together shine as upayam and phalan to us.[/blue]

g) ***[blue][i] भरण निास( Bharan nyasa),{ “भरण निास” –“भरण(Bharan) Means support/ maintenance/sustenance & निास(Nyasa)means deposit/trust”}[/blue] means..”With the help of Achaaryan, the seeker tries to attain salvation by depositing himself at the lotus feet (Thiruvadi) of Perumal & Pirati for THEIR service.

He is doing this job of saving his bakhtas from the worldly

miseries like a sacrifice (Yagnam). c)

As per Hindu custom, If a sacrifice (yagnam) need to be

performed, the Karta (doer of the yagnam) has to have His wife next to him, other wise he cannot perform the yagnam.. d)

Therefore, Pirati, the lokamata, being bagwan’s consort

you always see that His vritam of saving His bakhtas successfully completed. e)

{We have already seen this, in stanza # 6, that both

bagwan & pirati are in deep love with each other & she never leaves his side. [i] [blue]””Nishpratyuha Pranaya Gaditam Devi Nityanapayam”” :-Jaganmata you & your lord Vishnu always bound together and never leave each other-Stanza #6[/i] [/blue]..} f)

Therefore, Thayar Maha Lakshmi sees that her husband

Bagawan Vishnu always carry out the job of saving HIS devotees from the worldly miseries successfully. g)

The last line of this stanza means, Perumal Being Bakhta

Vaatsalyan may keep on taking various incarnations to save His Devotees, you being his loving companion follow him wherever he goes, as the tides of the Paarkadal (ksheera saharam) may B far off, its sweetness never diminishes.

From the speed of your sankalpam, from time to time, your divine incarnation forms arise from that ocean of Bliss. Once the task pertains to that particular, incarnation completes these Forms merges in to your Para roopam. Your Para roopam is an ocean of Bliss [i][/blue] (आनंद–िसंधौ).

[p] Maha Lakshmi Your beautiful eyes resembles[blue][u] [b]( Antarangai) [/b] [/blue][/u] that of early morning blossoming[blue][u] [b](Ushasi Mishataam) [/b] [/blue][/u] LOTUS [blue][u] [b]( Ambhojaanaam) [/b] [/blue][/u]. [p] Your beautiful eyes resembles that of Beautiful (karmegam) dark blue clouds [blue][u] [b] (Neelaambuvahai) [/b] [/blue][/u] *** which showers Amrita vaarsham[blue][u] [b] (Amritaasaara) [/b] [/blue][/u]/ karuna kataksham on her Bhaktas. [p] Your eyes are full of compassion towards chetanas & you want to relive them of their miseries. [p] Whichever direction[blue][u] [b]( Yasyaam Yasyaam Dishi Viharate Devi Drishti) [/b] [/blue][/u] your auspicious vision- roams , all the sampad$$( prosperity) want to go in that [blue][u] [b] (Tasyaam Tasyaam) [/b] [/blue][/u] Direction(##), competing with each other by saying I will go first, I will go first ,in that direction. [p] Not full open eyed glance is needed just glancing from the corner of your eyes [blue][u] [b]( Apaangai )[/b] [/blue][/u]} is enough, for all prosperity to compete with each other to alleviate our problem. [p] . …….Contd………. [p] …… Stanza # (15)….Contd… (###)[i] In the HINDI FILM HARIVAMSAM I remember this particular scene. -Kuselar swamin prompted by his wife, gone to meet his childhood friend Lord

0:49:59 a10/p1010/15/2008 40 Krishna for help. he took some AVAL-(Chidwa in Hindi- I don’t know the English name For AVAL)as an offering. bagwan eagerly eats that AVAL. Devi Rukmani (as if innocently) enquires Bagawan where from this pious Brahmanan come from?. Bagawan by saying from this direction only he came here, indicate the direction to her. On Devi’s glance all the iswaryam fills up in the Kusalers residence transforming the house from Hut to bunglow etc..[/i] [p] [i](***)1.[red]swami Thirupaanazhwar[/red] In His (last stanza) [red]Amalanadipiran[/red] says [b] [red]Kondal vannanai[/red].[/b] (Kondal means dark clouds). Wherever the dark clouds goes there must be some rain occurs that particular place. It’s surely going to rain there. [p] Like wise Bagawan, Forgiving all our transgressions, having compassion also showers Vatsalyam on us/his devotes like the above said dark clouds ( where as the other type of clouds like cirrus/cumulus are just for looking only... ah we can write many Kavitais(poems/lyrics) about them..Ada thavira 8 Anaku(50Paisa ku ) proyojanam kidayadu[:)] .) [p] In VSN(1000names of Vishnu ) also we have already studied about the Thirunamam[b] [red] Parjanyan[/b] [/red] (Stanza #87) [p] . Remember [blue] swami Desikan already said( in Sristuti sloakm #(9)}- If one studies the shrutis deeply, it becomes clear that the [i] inner meaning of the Vedas is about revering you both as equal [/i]. . Therefore, we consider[i] Both (Perumal & Maha Lakshmi) of you as Supreme deity (पर दे ितै) [/i]. Swami Desikan in another way here reiterates the same point.[/blue] [p] $$ 4. Sarveswari,Maha Lakshmi as you haven’t commanded a particular Iswaryam to go in that direction where your auspicious Vision roams, all prosperities are competing with each other to go first in that particular Direction..[/i] ………….Slokam #(15)………..!!!!!
