Sri Varaha Charama Shlokam

sthithE manasi susvasthE sarIrE sathi yO nara:
dhAthusAmyE sthithE smarthA visvarUpam cha maamajam (1)

tathastham mriyamANam thu kAshtA paashaNa sannibham
aham smarAmi madh bhaktham nayAmi paramAm gathim (2)

Meaning:

Oh Bhumi Devi! The entire universe is my body (sarIram).
I do not have births or deaths .

When my bhakthAs with mahA visvAsam (utmost faith) surrender to me, while they are still in a state of tranquil mind and healthy body and reflect about Me as as SarvAdharan (root cause
of all),
NiyanthA (One who commands from within),
sarva sEshi (the ultimate),

aasrayaNeeyan (One who is fit to be worshipped),
Sarva VyApthan (all-pervasive) and
Nithya sannihithan (One who is always near),
THEN
I think of them at their last moments, when they are totally unconscious like a log or a stone
and lead them by archirAdhi

maargam to My parama padham and bless them to have nithya kaimkarya bhAgyam to Me there.

It is declared by Sri Varahaswamy after rescuing Bhumi devi from Hiranyakshan, giving Her His assurance to save all His devotees, if they sincerely surrender to His feet during their life time.

According to this shlokam, we need not wait till we get old and are on our death bed to call out and surrender to God to attain moksham.

We neither know if we will be able to do that in our final moments as life/death are highly unpredictable.

So in His vast compassion, the Lord says that even when we are young, healthy and full of life, if we sincerely surrender to Him and try to live like a Sharanagathaa,

He will definitely rescue us at the end of our lives.

OM NAMO NARAYANAYA!
