SVS 301 [Mantra: - 281] (30.6)

281. OM MANTRAYA NAMA: मन्त्राय नम:
Protects those meditating on Him.




Vadapalli is near Miriyalguda in Andhra Pradesh. The Lord is personified by mantras and so can be meditated with mantrams. Spashtakshara means words formed by clears syllables. Or, the Lord speaks only clear syllables. We worship the Lord with mantras of Vedas. These sacred syllables are in Vedas and in Itihasa and Puranas. Sri Narasimha is in Vadapalli, which is at the convergence of Two sacred rivers. We see Two lamps, one near His feet and the other near His nose. While the lamp at His feet is steady, one near the nose is wavering, indicating His breath. It is a great wonder. Sage Agastya meditated here and Agastya is the founder of Tamil language. In Thirumogur, Sri Sudarsana is engraved with Sudarsana mantra and so is very sacred. In Sri Ahobila Mutt, the Man Deity and Sri Dolai Kannan are sanctified with mantras. Mantra means again and again the Lord is worshiped with mantras acquired properly from Acharyas. He protects people who worship Him with such mantras. In Varaha Charama sloka, the Lord Sri Bhuvaraha tells that if one worships Him, when all organs are properly functioning, then He takes care of them, when they are in death bed like a wood or stone.
