71. OM HIRANYAGARBHAYA NAMA: ॐ हिरण्यगर्भाय नम:
Living in very much desired place, Paramapadam, also known as the Golden place.
We are seeing Parathvam guna of the Lord. To get satva guna and become satvika, we have to have proper food and Swami Desika has made a compilation of do’s and don’ts regarding eating in Ahara niyamam. Whatever food we eat should have been first offered to the Lord. In our house we eat food prepared but our family members. They prepare and serve with care and affection and so the food also induces good qualities. Same can not be told of food in hotels and public places. We have heard of the story of Thrisanku, while knowing the episodes of sage Viswamitra, who created a separate world for him. Thrisanku is not the original name of that king and thrisanku means one who has committed three great sins. One of the great sins this person committed was that he ate food without offering to the Lord.
Today’s [28th May 2008] Divine name is hiranyagarbha. He is the Head of Vaikuntam and bestows everything on all. Hiranya means gold and it is precious. Because it is precious everyone wants to possess it. Similarly, the Lord is liked by all. When Dasaratha wanted to know whether he could crown Sri Rama, all people in one voice wanted Sri Rama as the King. Vaikuntam is known as Golden place [ponnulakam]. In Srimad Bhagavatham, sage Sukha describes the grandeur of Paramapadam to King Parikshit. It is made of pure satva quality [suddha satva mayam]. So it is always full of happiness. We experience total happiness [paripoorna bhagavathanubhavam].
