SVS 90 [Kruthaye-84]

  1. OM KRUTHAYE NAMA: कृये नम:

He grants the Punya deeds Himself, so that He is remembered.


The Lord is without equals and superiors. He is unperturbed and knows the punya/ papa [good/evil] deeds of all. Here this Divine name suggests that the Lord grants the intellect, strength and capability for jeevatma to do punya. People in general desire to reap the results of good deeds; yet, refrain from doing good deeds. Similarly, they do not desire the effects of bad deeds and yet they put in lots of efforts to do bad things. This is the nature of this world. Swami Parashara Bhatta says that the Lord has given us Shastras to lead us in darkness; but we are not realizing this help, and suffer. Shastras have to be learnt by serving Acharyas. Even for Arjuna, the Lord tells that the significance of His teachings have to be learnt from Acharyas by serving them. The Lord has provided us all organs to serve Him. By doing good deeds we will be blessed with the intellect to pray Him to grant us Moksham. God always gives the option to choose good and bad ways. We have to select and He helps in that direction.
