OM PRATHYAYA NAMA: ॐ प्रत्ययाय नम: Creates faith in devotees।
We are at
Naimisharanyam [ can be reached by train from
Sitapur or by bus from Lucknow,U.P.]. This is a very famous
Kshetram where many sages and
rishis have meditated and seen the Lord. It is a
Divya desam, where river
Gomati flows incessantly. Many
Puranas were
publicized from this holy place. The Lord
Sri Devaraja appears as a forest.
Thirumangai Alwar has composed Ten
pasurams in praise of this
Kshetram. Divine name
vyala indicated that the Lord is able to attract His devotees.
Prathyaya indicates that the Lord can be depended upon. The Lord acts in such a way as to create confidence in devotees. We pray to God to seek our desires fulfilled. This is because we are confident that the Lord would listen to our prayers. Our faith in Him grows. We repose great faith in a surgeon so that our physical maladies are solved. We should have similar faith in the Lord.
Vedas are divided into two parts -
karma kanda and
gyana kanda. The former explains how various
yagnas like
hrakameshti yaga for begetting children, etc., are to be performed. We do
these to attain the prescribed results. But all these are all temporary benefits and only attaining the Lord is the permanent and for this
Gyana kanda is to be understood. Then, why not only
Gyana kanda? It is to impart faith in Him that
Karma kanda is there.
