(My blessings and thanks to my face book friend who kindled  all these  thoughts by posting  about the name “Narayana”)

The word “Narayana “  has several meanings like , “one  who lives on water” The supreme being” , “Direction  of human being” , “Shelter  of a human being” etc..The Narayana  suktha  , one of the Vedic  prayer  addressed  to Narayana says

Sahasra seersham devam viswaksham viswa sambhuvam.

Viswam narayanam  devam aksharam paramam padam.                                                    1

I meditate on god Narayana,

Who has thousands of heads,

Who sees everywhere,

Who does good to all the world,

Who is the world,

Who is indestructible,

And who is the greatest destination.

Viswatha paramanithyam  viswam narayanam harim,

Viswamevedam  purusha stadvischa mupajeevathi.                                                            2

I meditate on God Narayana,

Who is much greater than this world,

Who is forever,

Who is the world,

Who destroys sins and suffering,

And say, that this world is Purusha,

And is alive because he is inside it.

Pathim viswasyatmeshwara, saswatha shivamachyutham,

Narayanam mahagneyam viswathmanam parayanam.                                                        3

I meditate on Narayana,

Who owns this world,

Who is the god of all souls,

Who is forever,

Who is personification of good,

Who never slips,

Who needs to be known with great effort,

Who is the soul of everything,

And who is the great destination.

Narayana paro jyothirathma narayana para,

Narayana para brahma tatwam narayana para.

Narayana paro dyatha , dyanam Narayana para.                                                                  4

Narayana is the great light,

Narayana is the great soul,

Narayana is the ultimate Brahmam,

Narayana is   the great principle,

Narayana is the greatest among those who meditate on him,

And Narayana is the great meditation.

Yachcha  kinchid jagat sarvam drusyathe  sruyathe bhi vaa,

Antharbahischa tatsarva vyapya narayana sthitha.                                                              5    

Narayana is spread,

All over the world.

In everything that we see and hear,

And in its inside and outside.   

        There   is a famous   story of Ajamila who did all possible sins  but went to Land of Vishnu  because  , when he  was dying he called  his son, whose  name   was Narayana. 

     One of the modern day saints   summarising  the   greatness  of name Narayana   says  “Chanting  the Divine name Narayana awakens   the  cosmic love within you so that you can love  everything Unconditionally”

There  is also a great  religious  poem of a great  Vaishnavite   saint  of Tamil Nadu  called Thirumangai  Azhvar   about  the greatness  of the  name Narayana. THirumangai Azhvar   was  one of the great Azhvars  and was considered as the last of the twelve Azhvars who were  great  minstrels  of Vaishnavism. These  minstrels went  all over India  visited  great Vishnu  temples  of those times  and composed  prayers(Pasurams) , praising  Gods  of these temples.Among them  the compositions of THirumangai azhvar  is supposed  to be maximum .According  to great savants his most  important  pasuram is

''குலந்தரும் செல்வம் தந்திடும் அடியார்
படுதுயர் ஆயினவெல்லாம்
நிலந்தரம் செய்யும் நீள் விசும்பருளும்
அருளொடு பெருநிலமளிக்கும்
வலந்தரும் மற்றும் தந்திடும் பெற்ற
தாயினும் ஆயின செய்யும்
நலம் தரும் சொல்லை நான் கண்டுகொண்டேன்
நாராயணா என்னும் நாமமே''

“Kulam tharum  , selvam thanthidum , adiyaar,

Padum thuyar aayinavellam ,

NIlantharam cheyyum , neel visumbarulum,

Arulodu  peru nilamalikkum ,

Valam tharum mathrum thanthidum pethha,

THaayinum   aayina   cheyyum,

Nalam tharum chollai naan kandu konden,

Nayanan  yennum naamame

I found out   the word   that gives  all that is good,

That gives us noble birth, grants   wealth .

Which would  mke all the sufferings of devotees,

In to nothing, grant  us forever stay  with  God,

Give  us chance to do service  to God with grace ,

And  would do  everything that mother will do,

And that  word is   the name   Narayana

Great scholars  believe  that Pasuram  gives  out the essence  of Divya Prabandham (the collected  work of all Azhvars.They believed that  if this pasuram is chanted  in the  ears of dying man, he would definitely attain God.

Om Namo Narayanaya.

How Achan Deekshithar became Vaksha sthala Acharya ?

How  Achan Deekshithar  became Vaksha sthala  Acharya ?

By

P.R.Ramachander

(I did not know this story but read it   somewhere in Whatsapp. My thanks to the author)

There  was a great  Scholar  called “Appayya  Deekshitha”  .His grand father’s name  was” Achan Deekshitha”  .He was also called “VAkasthalaxcharya(The learned man of the chest)” ,There  is an interesting story behind it.

It seemd  King Krishna  Deva Raya  had come to Worship Lord Varadaraja  of Kanchipuram .Among the learned  Invitees  “Achan Deekshithar”  was also one  . When the Purohith  showed  camphor lamp to the God   , the king felt that the God  was  bending   and examining   some thing..

The king asked  “Achan deekshithar” for the possible   reason for this  and he replied

“Kanchi Kanchana gaurangim  veekshya  Sakshadhiva Ascharyam,

Varada  ASAmsayapanno Vakshasthalam   Avekshathe “

காஞ்சித் காஞ்சந கௌராங்கிம் வீக்ஷ்ய ஸாக்ஷ£திவ ச்ரியம்
வரத ஸம்சயாபந்நோ வக்ஷஸ்தலம் அவேக்ஷதே

The God  Varada seeing  your golden   wife   beside  you ,

Became  surprised and felt  she was Mahalakshmi  herself,

And  examined   his  chest  to see whether his wife  was  still there.”

The king enjoyed  the poem very much   and along with great  presents  ,

Gave him a title “Vaksha sthala(The chest)”  and from then  on” Aachan deekshithar”  was named  as “Vakksha  Sthala Acharya,”
