Welcome to Adiyen Sri Ramanuja Dasan !
" Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha !"
(87 Ans Contd...) In the Ahirbudhnya Samhita, Ahirbudhnya (Siva) desires to see the glorious form of the Chakram (Bhajata Ahirbudhnya Lakshita). Great scholars stumble in their attempts to discern the vast extent of the Chakram's glory (Parijana ThraNa Pandita). The Chakram is the protector of the Devas, the destroyer of the Asuras and is the bestower of true knowledge, while tearing to shreds all pretence of false knowledge. This is seen from the passage: Dhanujavistara Kartana Janitamisravikartana Dhanuja Vidya Nikartana Bhajata Vidya Nivartana. Amara Drushtasva Vikrama Samarajushta Bramikrama. This is interpreted as the Chakram being the destroyer of Tamo Guna and enhancing or protecting Satva Guna. The Chakram is also the eye of the universe, the three Vedas and the three sacrifical fires as can be seen from: Bhuvana NEthra Trayeemaya Savana Teja Trayeemaya Niravadisvatu Chinmaya Nikila ShaktE Jaganmaya.
The Chakram unfailingly comes to the rescue of the Lord's devotees as seen from the following instances: *The relentless pursuit of Durvasa, who tried to kill Ambarisha with his fiendish creation (cf: Srimad Bhagavatam). *The destruction of Sisupala, when he offended Yudhishtira and Bhishma(cf: Mahabharata). *Arjuna was able to kill Jayadratha despite great odds only on account of the Chakram masking the Sun (cf:Mahabharata). *In the Vamana Avataram, the blade of grass used to clear the opening of the jar (which had been blocked by SukrAcharya) containing water for Mahabali's Sankalpam.
The Chakram confers Moksham to anyone who surrenders to it as well as anyone killed by it. Examples of people attaining Moksham by being killed by the Chakram are: Shishupala, NarakAsura, Poundra VasudEva and the crocodile in Gajendra Moksham. Ambarisha is an example of a devout person who was protected by the Chakram and ultimately graced by the Lord.
The Chakram also has the power of healing and curing illness. It is believed that Tirupputkuzhi village was suffering greatly from an epidemic fever. The residents of the village request a Sage to perform Sudarsana Homam. the Sudarsana Homam has the power of curing people under the possession of the mighty Brahma Rakshasa.
In conclusion, performance of Sudarsana Homam confers health, wealth and prosperity on the seeker. If one desires material benefit, the Chakram grants him all the riches he wants. If the seeker desires spiritual benefit, he begets this upon performance of the Homam. Suddam (cleanliness) is of utmost importance in the worship of Sudarsana Chakram. Therefore, the Homam must be performed with great regard to the Deha (body), Manas (mind) and Sthana (place) Suddam. Purity of thought, sound and intonation while chanting the Homa mantrams gives sampurna phalam (benefit to the utmost extent).
