Chant ‘Hari Nama’ in the Morning- Sri MahaPeriyava

Sri Maha Periyava used to chant Hari Nama every morning. 



A student observed this. Maha Periyava had holy ash on his forehead, rudraksha around his neck, 
which were indications of Shaivism. Be that as it may, here he was reciting the name of Sri Hari. 
What was this? 

The kid asked Sri Maha Periyava himself. 

A vaidika who was close by admonished the kid. 

"You should not address Maha Periyava in this way." 

Sri Maha Periyava said , "Don't reprimand the kid. Let him voice his confusion. 
I will answer him." 

The kid rehashed his query. Sri Maha Periyava gave the kid a clarification. 
"Creation, safeguarding, and annihilation are the three fold assignments. 
Sri Hari Vishnu is the preserver. From the second we wake up, till we hit the sack we 
play out various assignments. We should go to Sri Hari Vishnu, to be with us so 
all work done during the day is effective and progressed nicely. 

Bhagavan Krishna is called an 'Idayya', which implies the person who carries out the responsibility in the middle of creation and demolition. 
At night it is our convention to offer prayers to Parameswara." 

The kid was exceptionally happy with the clarification.
