Possessing compassion and patience at devotees' crimes.
Today [12th September 2008] is the Avatara Jayanthi of Sri Hayagriva and also Sri Vamana.
We can worship the Lord Sri Lakshmi Hayagriva of Sri Parakala Mutt.
It is said that Sri Saraswati or Sri Sharada Devi, profoundly appreciated the commentary of Swami Ramanuja on the Bramhasutra of Vyasa; and gave the title Sri Bhashyam to the commentary and conferred the title Sri Bhashyakara on Swami Ramanuja. Not contented with those, Sri Sharada Devi also gave her pooja idol of Sri Hayagriva to Swami Ramanuja, and which was later inherited by Swami Desika and by Sri Parakala Mutt. Sahishnu means the Lord shows forbearance at our sins. We hesitate to do good things. But we do evil things readily. In Daya sathakam, Swami Desika personifies His mercy, Sri Daya, as Sri Venkatesa's Queen. He compares that just like Her being a Queen, he is an Emperor of sins [अपराद चक्रवर्थी ]! Using Arjuna as an excuse Lord Sri Krishna delivered Gita for our benefit and finally declared that without any worry [of sins committed], by surrendering unto Him, He would save all. That was due to His forbearance quality. Alwar says that even if Sri Thayar were to recommend contrarily [She would never do it], He would maintain that His devotees would never commit any bad things. Such is His pardoning and patience qualities!
