Vishnu Sahasranamam – 38
April 2nd, 2010 by Chitra Devaraj

Namaskar Mahatmas!

Quick recap of the names covered yesterday:

  • Anirdesyavapuh – One whose form is indefinable, indescribable and inexplicable
  • Sreeman – One who is constantly courted by all glories
  • Ameyaatmaa – One whose Essence is inestimable and immeasurable
  • Mahaadridhrik – One who supports the mountain; one who protects against the senses and one who supports our sadhana to reach Him
    MAHESHVAASO MAHEEBHARTAA SREENIVAASAH SATAAM GATIH
    MAHESHVAASAH: One who wears the Great Bow called Saarnga is Maheshvaasah
    MAHEEBHARTAA: The husband of Mother Earth. Bhartaa means supporter. The Lord as Great Boar uplifted the Earth from the ‘waters of deluge’. Just as gold is the essence in all ornaments made of gold, the Self is the essence of all. He is the Lord, the supporter, the husband of Mother earth and everything that exists in her.
    SREENIVAASAH: The permanent abode of Shree is Shree nivasah. Shree is “all glory and power; faculties and strength; to be good and to perform creative acts of righteousness”. She is found to remain never permanently in any bosom. The only place, where imperfections never enter is Narayana. Hence Maha Vishnu is indicated as Sreenivasa – ‘the permanent abode of Lakshmi; the permanent abode of glories’.
    SATAAM GATIH: He is the Supreme goal to the truly virtuous and for all spiritual seekers. The term ‘Gati’ is used to denote not only the goal, but the very movement, as well as the direction and the way. Narayana is the very direction, path, progress and the Goal of His devotees.
    Hari Om Mahatmas!

    excellent service. Thank for all bhajan songs. Can anyone explain the role of thalam in bhajan for teaching small children.

    with warm regards
