The Sleeping Beauty

Ananda Padmanabha Swami....Thiruvananthapuram

Lord Mahavishnu is the Sustainer of the World,He takes care of all the Creations by Brahma,providing all the basic needs of each one of them all the times. He seems to be sleeping all the times, as seen in Trivandrum, then how is He able to do the never ending job of nourishing the creations-- when we are found wanting to do our jobs even when we are awake?That is why He is Bhagawan who can do anything with just by a "Sankalpam" and even though He is in slumber, He sure has the sankalpam to feed the creations. In doing so He gets the Parama Aanandam and so He is the Ananda Moorthy. He has the Ananda (Endless) resources for that and so He is called the "Anandan".The most loyal servant of the Lord ,Ananda Sheshan is always at His side where ever He goes and when He is sleeping Ananada becomes His bed,and hence the Lord is Anandan.
Lord Vishnu created Brahma in the begining of World after the Maha Pralaya and asked Brahma to do the further creations. Brahma comes up on the Padmam (Lotus) which springs out of Bhagawan's Nabhi-Padmanabhan. And even though Anada Padmanabhan is sleeping there's Brahma on His Nabhi who continues the creations and with Bhagawan's Sankalpam the creations are sustained. One has to visit Trivandrum to see all this with ones own eyes . And His three Sannidhanams,one each for His Thirumugam,Thiru Nabhi and Thiru Padam invite every one to give His blessings.
