Slokam 6

Sri Bhattadri calls Guruvayurappan as “Maarutaagara”.  He expounds on the forrm, which is the residence of Sri Lakshmi, without any reservation or hesitation.  The symbolic message here is that if Sri Lakshmi can surrender without reservation or hesitation then Guruvayurappan must certainly represent perfection in all its forms – beauty, strength, wisdom etc. 

It is noteworthy that Sri Krishna says in the Bhagavath Gita that he is the Lion among animals, the Arjuna among warriors, the Yudhishtira among practitioners of Dharma etc.

The human mind latches on to the victorious as a means of emulation. The form of Guruvayurappan is captivating and His exploits are inspiring, because He protects His devotees from being destroyed by the evil forces.  So the mind is calmed from its fears and anxieties and reassured that protection is available through invocation of the Paramathma.

May we be given the capability to focus without faltering on the form of Sri Guruvayurappan.
