245. OM JANHAVE NAMA: ॐ जह्नवे नम:
Hides from those having no Bhakti.
In Karnataka Five Narayana temples are famous - Melkote Sri Sampath Narayana, Thondanur Sri Lakshmi Narayana or Sri Nambi Narayana, Gundulpet Sri Vinaya Vijaya Narayana, Talakkad Sri Keerti Narayana and Belur Sri Vijaya Kesava Narayana. Melkote is considered as the Capital for Swami Ramanuja! Melkote is Yadavagiri or Yadugiri on the banks of Kalyanai Pushkarini. This is one of the Four Kshetrams [Srirangam, Tirumalai, Kanchi and Yadugiri] we daily worship during prayer. Janhu [though written as jahnu, it is pronounced as janhu] means the Lord is invisible to atheists and enemies. In Mahabharata, Sri Krishna discarded all those opposed to Pandavas and went to Vidhura. He was offered mere porridge. As it was poured into the eating leaf, the porridge started flowing out. The Lord tried to stop it by lifting one side of the leaf, but in vain, Then He used both hands, again in vain, Then He used Four, then Six and finally Ten hands to fold the leaf as a cup and drank! Vidura was pleased and worshiped this rare appearance. In Swami Ramanuja's history also, the Sri Utsavar Sri Chellapillai, showed Himself to Swami Ramanuja in Delhi Badshah's palace!
