SVS 291 [Vasu: - 271] (29.6)

271. OM VASAVE NAMA: ॐ वसवे नम:
For those not desiring anything, He is the desired Objective.

We are in Pullambutamkudi, near Kumbakonam. The Lord here is Sri Dhruda Dhanvi Rama or Sri Val Vil Rama [ஸ்ரீ வல் வில் இராமன்].

It is no wonder that friends praise a person. But it is almost unheard that enemies praise a person. Such great qualities were possessed by Sri Rama and He was praised by enemies like Vaali, Ravana, Soorpanaka, etc. In killing Vaali, Vaali himself finally agreed that Sri Rama did the right thing; but unfortunately, even now people debate whether what Sri Rama did was right or not! Today [3rd April 2009] being Sriramanavami, we offer the Divine name vasu at His feet.The name Sri Rama itself is a mangala or auspicious name. Vasu means wealth. The Lord Himself is wealth to His devotees! This wealth never diminishes! Sri Sita tells that wherever Sri Rama is, that place was Ayodya for Her!
