129. OM VEDHAYA NAMA: ॐ वेदाय नम:
Induces knowledge about Shastras.
Today [21st August 2008], we are at Sri Parthasarathy temple in Thiruvallikeni, also known as Brindaaranyam, in Chennai.
SRI PARTHASARATHY AS VENNAI THAZHI KANNAN
Veda means knowledge. Thirumangai Alwar when singing in praise of the Lord here, describes the Lord as Veda and the taste of Veda [வேதத்தை, வேதத்தின் சுவைப் பயனை ]. Vedas are the breath of the Lord. He is embodiment of Knowledge and induces knowledge in others. As the Chariot Driver of Arjuna, He preached Gita, the essence of Vedas. Shasras say that to get knowledge we should meditate on the conch of the Lord. Sri Parthasarathy is holding the conch in His right hand. Appropriately, Sri Thayar here is Sri Vedavalli.
