299. OM KAMAPRADAYA NAMA: ॐ कामप्रदाय नम:
Whatever is desired is granted.
The Lord grants whatever we desire. After all we do things expecting a reward! We desire health, wealth, etc. Many can grant these, but only the Lord Sri Janardhana, can grant all these and Moksham! In Kumbakonam, there lived a couple, who did not have any child. They prayed to Sri Aaravamuda and decided that if a child was born, he would be dedicated in His service. They got a son and named him, Lakshmi Narayana. He remained bachelor and spent all his life in His service. Once Lakshmi Narayana died on Aippasi Amavasya, that is on Deepavali day. Being a bachelor, there was no one to perform last rites. In Srimad Ramayana, Sri Rama performed last rites of Jatayu, a vulture! When Ravana was killed, Sri Rama asked Vibheeshana to do the last rites for his brother. When Vibheeshana showed reluctance, Sri Rama offered to do the last rites for Ravana Himself! Later, Vibheeshana did the last rites. In Kumbakonam, the Lord did the last rites for Lakshmi Narayana!
