252. OM SHUCHAYE NAMA: ॐ शुचये नम:
Embodiment of purity.
Swami Prasara Bhatta has combined Shishtakrut and Shuchi, into a single Divine name also. Shuchi means the Lord is Embodiment of purity. It also means sacred. He converts His devotees like Him. By worshiping and surrendering to Him, He ensures we enjoy everything in Vaikuntam. In Bairagi Sri Prasaanna Venkatesa Perumal temple special features can be seen. Just like in Tirumala, Brahmotsavam is celebrated in Purattasi month, here also. Similarly, in Karthigai month festivals are celebrated for Sri Thayar. But unlike in Tirumala, Sri Thayar is taken on procession on Garudi [female of Garuda] and Hanumanthi [female of Hanumantha] vahanams! Ahalya in spite of the greatest sin, a woman could ever earn, got purified by the Divine feet of Lord Sri Rama, and she is counted among the Five most chaste women [Ahalya, Draupati, Sri Sita, Tara and Mandodari].
