109.OM SAMMITHAYA NAMA: ॐ सम्मिताय नम:
Obeys devotees.
Today's lecture is from Ammaji Mandir, a temple raised by South Indians in Southern style. Utsavar here is captivating. We should make it a point to visit this temple when coming to Ayodhya. We will study the Divine name sammitha, meaning obeying His devotees. Yasoda tried to tame Sri Krishna by tying Him to a pulverizer, so that He would not be able to move about. But she could not tie Him with any length of ropes and after getting tired, she prayed and the Lord yielded and allowed Him to be tied, like an elephant picking up the chain so that it could be fastened. Viswamitra requested for the help of Sri Rama to guard his yagna. The Lord guarded the yagna for Six days. It is said that He Himself protected the yagna for Him [yagnovaivishnu:vishnururuvaiyagna:]. He obeyed Viswamitra totally. The Lord obeyed Thirumazhisai Alwar and got the name Sri Yathoythakari [சொன்ன வண்ணம் செய்த பெருமாள் ]
