The Power of Uchchishta

Sri Bhagavan Nama Bodhendra Saraswati Swamigal
Purushothaman was born in Kanchipuram to pious parents and even as a child, was given in service to the then pontiff of Kanchi Kamakoti Mutt.  He had great love towards his Guru and served him with all faith and sincerity. Later his Guru gave him the sanyasa name of Sri Bhagavan Nama Bodhendra Saraswati Swamigal.

Sri Bodhendra travelled to various villages spreading the greatness of Rama nama (Taraka mantra). Once He went to a village called Perambur near Raja Mannargudi. There he was invited by a couple to their house for bhiksha (partaking food). He initiated them with ‘Rama’ nama and then agreed to visit their house. All arrangements were made in the house for the arrival of Swamiji. The host had a 5 year old son who was deaf and dumb since birth. Since all the householders were busy carefully preparing for Swamiji’s arrival, the child was not fed anything since the morning. He was starving.

அபிராமி அந்தாதி - பாடல் 15 (Abhirami Andhadhi - Verse 15)



15. பெருஞ்செல்வமும் பேரின்பமும் பெற

தண்ணளிக்கு என்று, முன்னே பல கோடி தவங்கள் செய்வார்,
மண் அளிக்கும் செல்வமோ பெறுவார்? மதி வானவர் தம்
விண் அளிக்கும் செல்வமும் அழியா முத்தி வீடும், அன்றோ?-
பண் அளிக்கும் சொல் பரிமள யாமளைப் பைங்கிளியே.

அன்னையே! அபிராமித் தாயே! இசையை எழுப்பக்கூடிய அழகிய இன்சொல் கூறும் எம் பசுங்கிளியே! நின் திருவருள் நாடிப் பலகோடி தவங்களைச் செய்தவர்கள் இவ்வுலகத்தில் கிடைக்கக் கூடிய செல்வங்களை மட்டுமா பெறுவர்? சிறந்த தேவேந்திரன் ஆட்சி செய்யக்கூடிய விண்ணுலக போகத்தையும் பெறுவர். மற்றும், அழியாத முக்திப் பேற்றையும் அடைவார்கள் அல்லவா!

TO ATTAIN WEALTH AND BLISS

Thannalikku enru, munne pala kodi thavangal seyvaar,
man alikkum selvamo peruvaar? madhi vaanavar tham
vin alikkum selvamum azhiyaa muththi veedum, anro?-
pan alikkum sol parimala yaamalaip paingiliye!

Abhirami! Your devotees are gods, heavenly beings, angels and giants. Meditating on you are the quadri-headed Brahma and Vishnu. You are tethered by the ecstatic Shiva with the rope of affection. In this world, you bless only the people who are devoted to you. Your grace is quite amazing.

Sitting in the lotus on Thy navel Brahma could not at first discover the source of that lotus.Being eager to know its origin, He was thus endowed with four faces and lotus-like eight beautiful eyes. thereby acquiring four faces with eight eyes like full-blown lotuses.he turned his face on all directions and thereby got four faces with eight eyes.He could not yet find out his origin.
