107. OM SATHYAYA NAMA: ॐ सत्याय नम:
Fulfills the wishes of devotees.
The last two Divine names revealed that He was a wealth to His devotees and He regarded His devotees as a treasure. Vasumana as a mantra can bestow His blessings, like a mother would. Today's [22nd July 2008], Divine name sathya suggests that the Lord is benign to all uniformly. We are at Nandigrama, a suburb of Ayodhya. In fact because of the reign of Sri Paduka from Nandigrama, its fame exceeds that of Ayodhya. Swami Desika says that to describe the greatness of Paduka, perhaps the Lord or the 1000 hooded Adisesha could attempt, using the vast sky as paper and ocean as ink!! He regards Bharata as the Prime Sri Rama Bhakta. When Sri Rama was exiled, Bharata went to the forest to bring back Sri Rama and coronate Him as the King. After many arguments, Sri Rama agreed to give His Divine Paduka to Bharata and promised to return to Ayodhya after 14 yeras to take over as the King. Bharata vowed not to enter Ayodhya without Sri Rama and as a servant of Paduka, administered the Kingdom from Nandigrama. In shastras the Lord shows all good and virtuous paths. But we do not heed. During Vibheeshana saranagati, Sri Rama asks Sugriva that while He was waiting for Ravana and others to surrender to Him, could He let down Vibheeshana? He wants to be favorable to everyone. But we do not realize this. In the war, Sri Rama destroyed Ravana's horses, chariot and made him to stand without a weapon. At that time He told Ravana to go home and come next day. Implying, Ravana should not be misled by the sheer valour of the Lord, but should ponder over the Lord's real qualities of mercy and come next day with folded hands and surrender. Ravana never realized this.
