Namaskaram to all.

I wanted to share some understanding I got from Swami’s Vishnu sahsranamam and Yoga DVD 2018 and form this forum.

In the yoga DVD 2018 given by Swami, the yoga teacher explains about yoga nidra exercise. where one is asked to lie down calmly and be conscious of each of one’s body part..IT was explaiend that when one does this kind of yoga then one will be at peace and calm and then the next step of Dhayanam can be done easily.

So I was able to relate how this is yoga (union/connection with God)

But i was wondering why is Perumaal doing Yoga nidraa?

Then when I was reading in this forum Bhaktas repeatedly highlighted in various discussions that aatmas are body of Bhagawan.

Then yesterday in Vishnu Sahasranamam explanation of the naamam Sada Yogi.. Swami explained Perumaal is always in yoga nidraa thinking of welfare of souls to bring them back to Vaikunta.

So all the things(yoga Cd/ Forum and VSN explanation) all linked to each other and formed a beautiful fact that Peruamaal is thinking about his each part of his body(individual soul) in yoga nidraa to make them function in their normal state in Vaikuntam. 

Yoga for us is to connect to Perumaal, Yoga for Perumaal is to think how to make us connect to Him :)-

I am thankful to Velukkudi Swamy for these explanations .

Nandri

Adiyen.

Sri Ramanuja Munaye Namaha,
Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swami Guruvae Namaha,

Beautiful understanding Bhagavata about “Swami explained Perumaal is always in yoga nidraa thinking of welfare of souls to bring them back to Vaikunta.”.

Yes, adiyen would like to share similar instance from Swami’s upanyasam.

Swami says Perumal as “Urangubhavan Pol Yogu Seyyum Perumal” (Perumal looks like Sleeping, but always thinks about us ‘the BhaddhAthmas’ in Samsaram and thinks about different ways to ‘tame and bring’ HIS countless JeevAthmas (Sotthu) from Samsaram to SriVaikuntam).

Swami says NithyaSooris in SriVaikuntam as Padukaranan (means JeevAthmas who is not at all handicapped with karmas), and BhaddhaAthmas in Samsaram as Vikalakaranan (means JeevaAthmas who is handicapped with karmas).

So Divya Dhampadhis (Thayar-Perumal) eyes and affection/care/attention is ALWAYS on the child who is Vikalakaranan (us BhaddhaAthmas ) rather than the child who is Padukaranan (Nithyasooris), since Padukaranan (non handicapped) child don’t have any kurai/deficiency. So Perumal-Thayar attention is less on them, and THEY keep more care/attention/affection on Vikalakaranan (handicapped/trapped in samsaram) child like us. So Thayar-Perumal KARUNAI, ‘nammidatthil’ mattum dhaan YEPPAVUM ADHIKAMA irukkum when compared to nithyasooris.

Adiyen Sri Velukkudi Krishna Dasan,
Uyya Oraey Vazhi UdayavAr ThiruvAdi,
Sarvam SriKrisharpanam Asthu.
