113. OM VRUSHAKARMANE NAMA: ॐ वृषकर्मणे नम:
Capable of quenching the three great miseries by His soothing actions.
The Lord has the lotus like navel in which the creator of this world, lord Brahma is seated. He is smeared with sandalwood paste from Sri MahaLakshmi, by embracing Her. The Lord is embodiment of Vedas and so the scent of Vedas is also there. Vyjayanti garland is also fragrant. Thus, the Lord emanates variety of scents and He is Sri Parimala Rangan; yet, He desires to have the fragrance of the Thulasi mala used by Sri Andal, says Swami Vedanta Desika in his Goda sthuthi. Today's [30th July 2008] lecture is from the sannidhi of Sri Andal at Sri Varadarajaswami temple, Kanchi. The Lord removes our tapa traya [three great miseries]- Adyatmikam, Adidaivikam and Adibowdhikam. These are caused by God, by natural happenings like lightning, thunder, etc., and by animals and other living beings. Like an oasis for a struggling person in desert, the Lord is there to eliminate our miseries. He is the everlasting remedy for our miseries and so He is Vrushakarma. Actions of Sri Rama and Sri Krishna refine us. Acharyas are also regarded as Avatar of the Lord and they also lead us in the righteous path. To get this help from the Lord we have to worship Him and not lament that we are suffering in this world. As a mantra this Divine name removes our evil effects of karma.
