211. OM GURUR GURU TAMAYA NAMA:
Today's [7th January 2009] lecture is also from Nagamangala Kshetram. The Lord here has been worshiped by Swami Ramanuja. One can notice the mercy in the face of the Lord. Renovation works are going. Temple is more than 1000 years old. Swami Ramanuja installed Vijayasthamba [Victory pillars] at various temples and one such is seen here.
It is widely believed that by worshiping here, sarpa dosha or naga dosha [curse of cobras] is removed.
Guru tama: means the best of Acharyas. The Lord rescued Vedas immersed in ocean, by taking Sri Matsya Avatar. In Dasavatara stotram, Swami Vedanta Desika says that when the Lord in the form of a huge fish was searching for Vedas, His eyes, like lotus flowers, swayed amidst waves of the ocean! The Lord is Mother, Father, Guru and Friend.
