125. OM SARVAVIDHE NAMA: ॐ सर्वविधे नम:
Creator of all destroyed and maintains the Universe.
Sarvavidh means means possessing everything. It means He pervades everything. This is described in the next Divine name bhanu. So today [18th August 2008] we will see both the Divine names together.
126.OM BHANAVE NAMA: ॐ भानवे नम:
Though all originate from Him, He is without any blemish.
This recording has been done on Adi Uthradam star, the birthday of Swami Alavandar, who was responsible for the spread of Srivaishnavam through Swami Ramanuja. This sampradhaya establishes that all those who have Acharya's blessings can reach Moksham. Swami Nathamuni, desired this sampradhayam to be passed on to his grandson Swami Alavandar via his disciples, Swami Uyyakondar and Swami Manakkal Nambi. Recognizing that Swami Ramanuja was the person to propagate this Sri Vaishnava sampradhaya, Swami Alavandar prayed Lord Varadaraja at Kanchi to grant Swami Ramanuja.
namOnamO yAmunAya yAmunAya namOnama: namOnamO yAmunAya yAmunAya namOnama:
Normally, bhanu indicates the Sun. The Lord is much brighter than a Million Suns. In Gita the Lord says He grants Sun its brilliance. All luminous objects get their brilliance from Sri Vishnu, says Upanishad. Their luminescence is very dim, before the Lord. Bhanu here means, though the Lord creates the Universe, none of its defects are in Him. We find changes in a woman pregnant; or, even we notice changes in the person after he eats. But the Lord, takes in all, after the Maha Pralayam, yet there is no change in Him. Sri Krishna visited Hasthinapur as the messenger from Pandavas. Duryodhana, not recognizing the Lord's greatness, had ordered that none should get up in respect, as Sri Krishna entered the Royal assembly. When Sri Krishna entered with His hands on the shoulders of Vidhura and Satyaki, Duryodhana found all standing. When questioned, they all told that they had to stand up as the King Duryodhana had got up from the throne and was standing! Duryodhana was attracted by the Brilliance of the Lord that he unconsciously got up from his seat. This is called veeryam, when without bating an eyelid, He causes changes in others.
