SVS 307 [Sureswara: - 287] (31.4)

287. OM SURESWARAYA NAMA: सुरेश्वराय नम:
Uplifts further, those on right path.


Swami Ramanuja wanted to seek Swami Periya Nambi and so he proceeded from Kanchi to Srirangam. At the same time Swami Periya Nambi proceeded from Srirangam to Kanchi to meet Swami Ramanuja! This is Divine act of the God and both accidentally met in Madurantakam. Here Swami Periya Nambi preached Swami Ramanuja, who is seen not with safron robes but ordinary white robes. Sureswara means the Lord encourages devotees on right path to go further up, to greater heights! If we follow Shastras, the Lord encourages. Swami Ramanuja wanted to follow the Lord's 'aaru vaarthai', and the Lord helped in bringing Swami Periya Nambi nearer to him! The Lord provides opportunities equally to all; but He encourages those following right path.
