SVS 44

38. OM SAMBHAVE NAMA:
By revealing soulabhya, souseelya and soundharya qualities, He creates endless happiness in us.

The Lord reveals His superlative qualities and attracts His devotees. Sri Rama attracted all including the rishis, by His enchanting beauty. Today's [11th April 2008] lecture is from the temple of Sri VijayaRaghava of Thirupputkuzhi [near Kanchipuram]. He attracts also by Oudharya - bountiful benevolence. But Sri Krishna tells that those who seek Him, are having that quality of oudharya. Why? Because through them only all understand that He is capable of granting anything and everything. Rishis wanted to embrace Him when He came to Dandakaranya. But the Lord made them to have that experience in Sri Krishna avatara, when the rishis were born as gopikas. Bheeshma appreciates the beauty of the Lord, when breaking His vow, the Lord hurries towards Bheeshma, with Discus in one hand, and with false anger, on the third day of Mahabharatha war. When gopikas loved His company, the Lord never liked such love alloyed by jealousy and ego; and so He disappears suddenly. When gopikas realized their mistake He reappeared. Sambhu is thus the name suggesting attraction by His qualities.
