303. OM NAIKAMAYAYA NAMA: ॐ नैकमायाय नम:
Possesses many amazing actions like reclining as an infant on a floating banyan tender leaf.
We are in Sri Ramaswamy temple in Kumbakonam. The idols of Sri Rama in Vaduvur, Thillaivilagam and Kumbakonam have an unique charm! He was like Moon for Chakora birds of people of Ayodya, says Swami Vedanta Desika! Valmiki's Srimad Ramayana was sang before Sri Rama in Ayodya, by Lava and Kusha, to the accompaniment of Veena instrument. Likewise, in this temple Hanuman is holding Veena and singing before Sri Rama! Naikamaya means not one maya [miracle], but many! Maya, here does not mean illusion. Sri Sita got Her name as She was found while ploughing the Earth, to perform Yagna. His Vishwaroopam is another Maya. In a ocean with large waves, the Lord sleeps on a tender leaf floating on water. This was after He swallowed all Universe and stored in His stomach! It is beyond our imagination! We can not find answer to the question, where the leaf came from? Thiruppanalwar says Aala ma maratthin ilai mel oru balaganai Gyalam ezhum undan [ஆல மா மரத்தின் இலை மேல் ஒரு பாலகனாய், ஞாலம் ஏழும் உண்டான்].
