75. OM ISVARAYA NAMA: ॐ ईशवराय नम:
What He decides will not be hindered.
Next sloka is started. We have already seen this Divine name earlier. Great persons never repeat what has been told earlier. But when a repetition occurs, it must mean an important message. Here, Bheeshma repeats to emphasize the One and Only Leader for all and capable of granting Moksham. It also shows the interest and the great importance Bheeshma accorded to this and some other names which appear to be repeated.
Today's [3rd June 2008] lecture is from the temple of Sri Srinivasa in Ayyampettai, near Kanchipuram and Walajabad. It is said that this temple as about 1000 years old. Pooja is performed as per Pancharatra agama.
He is the leader and First among all gods. When our family expands, the authority of us is lessened. But the Lord is called Bahukutumbi as the entire Universe is His family. Our relatives vary with the body in which our souls are residing. But the relation with the Lord and Atma can never cease nor can be broken. In Kamasishtakam, Swami Desika asks if the Lord decides to protect none can stop it and if He decides not to protect, who else can protect?
