250. OM VISHISHTAYA NAMA: ॐ विशिष्टाय नम:
Has special skill.
The Bairagi, provided staying amenities for those on pilgrimage to Tirumala. Later, he thought, why not construct a Sri Venkatesa temple in Chennai itself so that pilgrims need not have the ordeal of going to Tirumala. To construct he needed money, which he earned by his alchemy [rasavada] skill, by which he converted copper like metals into gold. Though this is not good practice, he did it for very noble cause. Visishta means different. Swami Ramanuja differed from Shankara's advaita and gave the name Visishta-advaita, for his philosophy. Chetanam [atma having Gyana] and achetanam [opposite of chetanam] are bodies of Paramatma [God].
