164. OM YAMAYA NAMA: ॐ यमाय नम:
Commanding everything from within as Antharyami.
Today's [10th October 2008] is from Thiruvallur, actually Thiru Evvalur [திரு எவ்வளூர்]. This temple is administered by Sri Ahobila Mutt. The Lord is called Sri Vaidya Veera Raghava [ஸ்ரீ வைத்ய வீர ராகவன்]. An important festival takes place on Purattasi Thiruvonam. It is Swami Desika's birthday, celebrated everywhere. On this night, Sri Veera Raghava leaves for Sri Perumbuthur, birth place of Swami Ramanuja, to bless Swami Vedanta Desika in the temple. Kavitarkika Simham is blessed by Sri Raghava Simham! Yama means commander. Upanishads say that the Lord is inside the soul to command and rule. Because of shastras there is discipline and civilization. The Majestic appearance of the Lord confirms that He is the Commander of the Universe.
