SVS 30

25. OM SARVAYA NAMA:
Motivator in all moving and stationery matters [charaacharam] of Universe.

We are listening to the lecture from Devar mari, now called as Devar malai, near Kulithalai, in Karur district. When the Lord taking Sri Narasimha avatar came out after killing Hiranyakasipu, all the devas wanted to honour Him and so by blocking [ in Tamil mari] Him, they worshiped. So, this place is known as Devarmari and got transformed to Devar malai. It is 700 years old ancient temple. It is difficult to see temples of such heritage in shambles. We pray Him to bless for an early renovation and start of poojas regularly. Lord Narasimha, here welcomes with one hand, as we are all afraid of approaching Him; because we have been committing papa continuously. So like a father welcoming a prodigal child, He is welcoming to bless us. Like in Triplicane and in Gadikachalam.
Today's Divine Name is the First in the 4th sloka, which contains 12 Names. At a first glance, it might appear, all these names denote Sri Paramashiva. Swami Sankara bhagavatpada, while commenting about these names, says that though these names are attributes of Shiva, in accordance with Veda, sabrahma sashiva: sendra: soksharaparas swarat, all are Vishnu. He is Brahma, He is Shiva, Vishnu is Sriman Narayana, Vishnu is Indra, etc. He is all. Hiranyakasipu asks Prahlada : stambe nadrusyate? [Not seen in the pillar?]. For this Prahlada's reply was stambena drusyate! [ Appearing as Pillar itself!]. Bhaktas will see Him every where and as everyone. Like the minutest atma is pervading all over the body, He is pervading all the Universe and so He is all.
