34. OM PRABHAVAYA NAMA:
Having special births; thinking of which, will terminate our birth cycle.
Sri Andal is the only female devotee among Alwars. Today's [4th April 2008] lecture is also from Srivilliputhur.
Prabhava means special births [Avatars] are decided by the Lord. We can never decide about our birth, its time or location. We can never, on our own, avoid births also. But the Lord, as the name prabhava indicates, can decide special families and locations for His birth [avatar]. Not only that, the deeds in each Avatar is captivating the devotees. When He appears as a human, He practices dharma a person has to follow - ramo vigravahan dharma:, krishna dharmam sanathanam. He is the embodiment of Dharma. Poothana, the demon emissary of Kamsa, came with the idea of killing Sri Krishna. She applied poison on her breasts and tried to make Sri Krishna drink her milk. Sri Krishna swallowed the poison as well as her life and she got the greatest reward of Moksham. By recalling this episode of Sri Krishna drinking milk, we will cut off our necessity to drink milk; that is we will not be reborn. This explains the greatness of His avatar and so Prabhava.
