Welcome to Adiyen Sri Ramanuja Dasan !
" Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha !"
Its really spectacular to watch Lord Malayappa Swamy on this Ratha Saptami day, with 7 Vahanams. Those who missed out Brahmotsavams and those, who wish to cherish the divine bliss of Brahmotsavams again, can enjoy the divine bliss on a single day.
The Ratha Saptami festival is shown live in Sri Venkateswara Bhakti Channel from 5:30 AM to 9 PM.
The Sandhyavandanam mantras contain the following
"dhyeyaha sadA savitrumanDala madhyavartI nArAyana:
sarasijAsana sannivishTaha keyUravAn makara kunDalavAn
kirIti hArI hiranmaya vabhuhu dhruta Sankhacakraha
Sankha cakra gadA pAne dwArakA nilayAchyutA govinda
punDarIkAkshA rakshamAm SaranAgatam".
This clearly shows that Lord Narayana is present in the middleof the solar orb indicating that Lord Narayana is the antaryami of Surya. Lord Srinivasa of Tirumala has this very same form as it is in middle of Solar orb. Hence, the importance attached to the Surya Worship in Hindu culture.
Aditya maNdala brahmopAsanam in MahA NaarAyana
upanishat 14 mentions the Lord resides in the Aditya
maNdalam and also resides as Veda swarUpi in it.
AdityO vA esha etanmaNdalam tapati tatra tA rucas
tat rucA maNdalam ...
... trayyeva vidyA tpati ya eshoantarAditye
hiraNmagum purusha:
Sri SudarSana is praised as sUrya nArAyanA and the
Lord as Adi nArAyanA in tripAd vibhUti mahA
nArAyanopanishat 1.5:
sudarSana divyatEjo (a)ntargata: sudarSana purusho
yathA sUrya maNdalAntargata: sUrya nArAyano (a)mita
aparicchinAdvaita paramAnanda lakshaNa
thejorASyantargata Adi nArAyanastatha sandruSyate.
Its meaning is as follows: in the same way as Sri SudarsanA resides with his Sudarsana divya tejas as sUrya nArAyana in (koti) sUrya mandalam, Adi nArAyanan resides in Vaikuntam exhibiting limitless inseparable brilliance and happiness.
Jai Srimannaryana !
