From the Bhakti List Archives
• June 16, 1999
Dear BhakthAs : Today adiyEn will focus on the second slOkam and discuss its Veda Sambhandham . The slOkam states that the AarAdhanam of BhagavAn with a devout frame of mind would confer on one every kind of auspiciousness : AadhyAyAaEshakarthrE prathinimisha naveenAya BharthrE vibhUthEr BhakthAthmA VishNavE ya: pradisathi havirAdhIni Yaj~nArchanAdhou KrishNAdhyam janma yO vaa mahadhiha mahathO varnayEth sOyamEva preetha: pUrNo yasObhisthvarithamabhisarEth prApyamanthE padham thE (Meaning ) : Oh GuruvAyUrappA ! Thou art the One , who is the primeveal, Adhi Purushan ; Thou art the KaaraNam for this jagath and its vyApAram ; Thou art the One , who presents Yourself afresh in lovely an ddifferent forms every minute for those ,who lovingly meditate on You ; Thou art the Lord of MahA LakshmI . Those who perform AarAdhanam for You or offer Havis in their Yaj~nams dedicated to You or those who read with bhakthi Your avathAra charithrams associated with your RaamA-KrishNa avathArams and describes them to others are blessed with happiness , contentment and become yasasvins ( possesors of undying fame ).At the end of his alloted time on Your Leela VibhUthi here, that blessed soul reaches Your Parama Padham to offer uninterrupted Kaimkaryam to You there in the company of other MukthAs . The Rg Veda manthram connectd to this slOkam is : ya: poorvyAya vEdhasE naveeyasE sumajjAnayE VishNavE dhadhAsathi yO jAthamasya mahathO mahi Bhravath- sEdhusravObhiryujyam chidamyasath ---Rg Vedam : 2nd Ashtakam,2nd chapter,26th Vargam (Meaning): The devotee who peforms Aaradhanam to the Lord and offers havis to Him , who is the antharyAmi of the Sun, who is the primeveal, adhi purushan , yet also the most newly born One (because of the many new ways He presents Himself to the devotees ), the self-born and the devotee who describes the great birth and charithams of the primeval One , that type of devotees alone would attain non-diminishing wealth and ultimately reach the high status of residence in the greatest of sthAnams (Sri Vaikuntam ). Ya : VishNavE DhadhAsi is a key passage . The other key passage in this ved manthram is : " sravObhir yujyam cidabhyasat sravObhih " This means the devotee , who hears (sravaNam ), thinking nad realizing the Lord all the time attains Parama Padham . Sri NaarAyaNa Bhattadhiri captured the essence of the Bhaagavatha SlOakm , which originated from Veda VyAsar and retained the Veda Saaram in his eulogy of Sri GuruvAyUrappan .
