176. OM MAHAVEERYAYA NAMA: ॐ महा वीर्याय नम:
Does not undergo change or vikara.
Once Swami Ramanuja arrived at Thirumala. As he was climbing the Hill, Swami Thirumalai Nambi came from Hill top to receive Swami Ramanuja. As he was elder than and uncle of Swami Ramanuja, Swami Ramanuja was embarrassed and quipped that someone lesser in status [சிறியவர்] could have been sent to receive him. Swami Thirumalai Nambi replied that he could not find anyone lesser than him in status! This shows the humility of the people in those times. Swami Adi Van Satakpa Jeer, founder of Sri Ahobila Mutt was born in Purattasi - Kettai. For the same reason of Brahmotsavam in Thirumala, his birthday also is celebrated in Aippasi - Kettai. Thus in Thiruppathi, in the month of Aippasi, on the Three consecutive days of Anusham, Kettai and Moolam are celebrated the birthdays of, respectively, Swami Thirumalai Nambi, Swami Adi Van Satakopa Jeer and Swami Manavala Mamunigal. The Lord has great bravery. He is not afraid; but others are afraid of Him. When Hanuman entered the assembly of Ravana, he got panicky seeing Hanuman. A fragrant flower stirs up our emotions; but does the flower ever get stirred up? No. Likewise on seeing the Lord others squirm; but the Lord remains steady. Mahaveerya means unchanged. Avikaraya also means changeless. Sri Rama never changed His words also. He keeps up His word. Even when He was ordered by Kaikeyi to go to forest in exile, His face remained as fresh as a lotus flower.
