160. OM SANGRAHAYA NAMA: ॐ संग्रहाय नम:
Easily perceivable by devotees.
Prapatye niravadyanam nishadyam guna sampadam | Charanam bhavapitanam satakopa muniswaram ||
Purattasi is called Bhadrapada [भाद्रपद] month - sacred month. In this month Thirumala Brahmotsavam takes place. In this month only Swami Desika, Swami Brahmatantraswatantra Jeer, Swami Periya Thirumalai Nambi [ uncle of Swami Ramanuja] and Swami Adi Van Satakopa Jeer [Founder of Sri Ahobila mutt] were born. Annamacharya is a disciple of Swami Adivan Satakopa Jeer. King Krishnadeva Raya, in his book on Sri Andal, Amuktamalyata, in Telugu, has praised Swami Adivan Satakopa in the 6th Chapter. He writes that this Swami could make even cooks in the mutt, great pundits. His birthday is Purattasi Kettai [Jyeshta].
The Lord is called agrahyaya, meaning not perceivable; but today's [2nd October 2008] Divine name sangraha means those devoted to Him, can easily perceive. Swami Adivan Satakopa, originally Srinivasacharya, was born in Melkote, near Mysore, but learnt in Kanchipuram under Swami Gadikasatam Ammal; and, he was ordained by the Lord Sri Narasimha to come to Ahobilam. With permission of his teacher, he reached Ahobilam. The Lord in the guise of an old sanyasi, preached mantras and inducted him into sanyasa asrama. He got the Sri Lakshmi Narasimha idol for daily worship. This is sangraha, easily perceivable.
