274. OM SHIPIVISHTAYA NAMA: ॐ शिपिविष्टाय नम:
Through rays, pervading everywhere.
Today's [8th April 2009] lecture is also from Sri Oppiliappan Koil. In most of the temples, the Lord's idols [bhera] are in Five forms: Moola bhera, Utsava bhera, Stapana bhera, Nityotsava bhera and Yaga bhera. This is indicated by naikaroopa [SVS 292]. The Lord is the cause of brilliance of all luminous objects like the Sun, fire,etc. Swami Desika says prabhavan sitaya devya paramavyoma bhaskara [Raghuveera gatyam]. We notice brilliance on the face of great devotees. Sri Sita says She can never part Sri Rama and is like luminescence of light- inseparable! In Oppiliappan Koil, no function is celebrated without Swami Desika! When Ravana is beaten, he sees Sriman Narayana in Sri Rama!
