SVS 155 [Punarvasu: - 152] (16.10)

152. OM PUNARVASAVE NAMA: पुनर्वसवे नम:
He is Antharyami in those Two.

Today's [22nd September 2008] lecture is again from Ramagiri Sri Kalyana Nrusimha temple. The Lord Sri Narasimha appeared benevolent to devotees, while at the same time appeared frightening to enemies. By worshiping all the Three Sri Narasimha of Devar malai, Ramagiri and Kadavur [all in Karur district] in one stretch on the same day, success and happiness are certain in our lives. Punarvasu is the name for a star constellation. Sri Rama was born in Punarvasu star. Parashara Bhatta says that punarvasu suggests that the Lord is the inner soul or antharyami of lord Brahma and lord Shiva. It is as per Sanskrit grammar. Sri Narasimha Avatar proclaims that the Lord is the antharyami of everything. Only the devoted 'see' Him. Sri Narasimha instantly rewards the devotee [அடித்த கை பிடித்த பெருமாள் !]
