231. OM NIVRUTATMANE NAMA:
Today [10th February 2009] is Thirumazhisai Alwar Thirunakshatram [birth day]. Today's lecture is from Gunaseelam, near Srirangam. The Lord here is Sri Prasanna Venkatesa [ஸ்ரீ பிரசன்ன வேங்கடேச பெருமாள்]. It is a prarthana Kshetram. It is in a very peaceful atmosphere and many persons suffering from mental disorders get their problems solved here, by worshiping the Lord. The Lord is not contaminated by the qualities of this Universe. He is detached from prakrutam. All in this Universe right from lord Brahma to tiny mosquitoes have to suffer because of contact with this Universe. Anything born will have to end one day. But these rules do not apply to the Lord as He is not born out of past Karma.

SVS 246 [Nivrutatma - 231, Samvruta - 232] (25.2, 25.3)
231. OM NIVRUTATMANE NAMA: ॐ निवृतात्मने नम:
Possesses qualities beyond prakrutam related. That is with Divine qualities.
232. OM SAMVRUTAYA NAMA: ॐ संवृताय नम:
Hidden from fools and can not be perceived by them.
Lifco publishes not only books on religion but in other useful fields. People like Rajaji and Dr.CV Raman have praised publisher's dedication. Our body is made of prakrutam, that is the Five great elements -space, air, fire, water and earth. The Lord's body, on the other hand, is aprakrutam. But have not Sri Rama and Sri Krishna suffered like us? It is an illusion and the Lord never suffers like us. We are born because of our past karma; while the Lord is born out of His will and not due to any karma. Those with tamo qualities will never be able to realize Him. They will never understand His avatara!

SVS 244 [Sahasraksha: - 228, Sahasrapat - 229] (24.9. 24.10)
228. OM SAHASRAKSHAYA NAMA:
Possesses countless eyes.
229. OM SAHASRAPADE NAMA:
Possesses countless feet.
Aastikam is belief in existence of God. It is corruption of the Sanskrit word Aanmhikam, meaning discipline. Asti in Sanskrit is existence [of God]; opposite is naasti or non-existence [of God]. Following His directives is discipline. For this we have to follow elders' advice and rishis' preachings. This can not be achieved by mere going to Temples; we have to read many books. Lifco publishers are doing a great service in bringing out many valuable works in the print media. It was started about 80 years back and the founder Sri Sharmaji's centenary is being celebrated now. Lifco has revolutionised aastika experience!
Sahasraksha indicates the Lord has infinite eyes. Indra is called Sahasraksha; but here it indicates the Lord. During Sri Rama - Sri Sita marriage, both the Bride and Groom parties praise the beauty of the Couples. Mitila people say that Sri Rama needed Thousands of eyes every second to appreciate the beauty of Sri Sita!

SVS 243 [Viswatma - 227] (24.8)
227. OM VISWATMANE NAMA: ॐ विस्वात्माने नम:
Pervades entire Universe, by His Power of Gyana.
Main deity Sri Aprameya, graces with Sri Aravindanayaki Thayar. Corridors are decorated by beautiful sculptures and paintings. Swami Vidyaneswara, who wrote beautiful commentary on Yagyavalkya smruti, worshiped here before writing his commentary. Sri Krishna beckons us to visit this temple. By Viswatma it is meant that He pervades all over the Universe, with nothing not pervaded by Him! This is what Prahalada says to Hiranyakasipu. Swami Nampillai says that those not accepting His all pervading nature, would suffer like Hiranyakasipu! Viswatma also means He is the Antaratma of this Universe. By crawling all over Nandgaon [aayarpaadi ஆயர்பாடி], He proclaimed all were His property!

SVS 242 [Sahasramoordha - 226] (24.7)
226. OM SAHASRAMOORDHNE NAMA: ॐ सहस्रमूर्ध्ने नम:
Has countless heads.
Sri Aprameya is the Sri Moolavar and Sri Utsavar. Couples desiring to have children come here and pray at Sri Ambekaal Krishna [ஸ்ரீ அம்பே கால் கிருஷ்ணன்]. Their requests are fulfilled immediately. Ambekaal means folded legs in crawling pose. It is a captivating sight and the Lord holds butter in one hand. He is so beautiful, that we feel like fondling Him! Sri Ambekaal Krishna sannidhi is behind Sri Aprameya sannidhi. Poet Purandara Dasa composed the famous Keertana 'Jagatodhaarana..' here on Sri Krishna. His power to bless children to couples is very famous. We pray all those experiencing this lecture to be blessed with all prosperity and children devoted to the Lord. Sahasra means Thousand; here it does not mean number but countless, like infinity. It is like thousands of couples were blessed with children. Sahasranamam does not mean the Lord has just thousand names. Thousand names were told by Bhishma. But there are more and it is said every syllable in Vedas can be interpreted to represent a Divine name of the Lord. In Sri Ambekaal Krishna, we see countless curls of hair on His head. In Sri Varahavatara, countless Universes were seen, every hair on His body was supporting one Universe! In Sri Krishna Avatar, He displayed thousands of pranks!

SVS 241 [Sameerana: - 225] (24.6)
225. OM SAMEERANAYA NAMA: ॐ सामीरणाय नम:
Displays finest Divine actions.
We are in Doddamallur, 60 KMs from Bangalore on the Bangalore-Mysore highway. The Lord is Sri Aprameya.
The temple is very well maintained. Sri Aprameya was the 46th Divine name and it means measureless gyana and eminence. It is a very prominent prartana sthala - for begetting children. Sri Thayar is Sri Aravindanayaki Thayar. The Lord came from Vaikuntam and continues to stay here! Sameerana means unimaginable actions. The Lord's every action is fascinating and awe inspiring! In the Matsya Avatar, a tiny fish became so large to be grown in Ocean - all in seconds! Even redeeming sinners like us is a wonder, that too in one second! The enchanting beauty of the Lord here is another wonder! He appears as we want! He resides in our filthy body! All these are wonders!
