Swami dEsikan's thirunakshathram being today (also a sravaNam day) it is apt

to present a few lines from swami dEsikan's slokam that may be useful for those

seeking depth of knowledge, and those seeking to intensify their bakthi. The

readers may want to recall one of my post in praptti on amalanAthirpiRan, and

the note on combined significance for "amalanathi piraan" and the following

slokam known as "bagwathdyAna soBAnam".

slOkam 1

 

One who is ever glittering in the minds of yOgis as the antharyAmi

jyOthi, and the one who also decorates their eyes with the

siththAnchanam, the sinthAmani who easily provides us with the all

those we desired in this and the other worlds, the one who is easily

accesible and also the oen who takes care of all the poor souls, and remove

their sorrows, the one who is the nucleus of all the vedic darsanam

(or the focal point) and the one who is god of all gods is seen in

then arangam !

bakthim kAdAm thisathu bagawathyAna sObAna sObanamEthath:

 

the fans and followers of HIM (arangan) are yielded to this, and it also

steals the minds of bakthAs and bAgawathALs and such is the

thiru varangath thiruppathi (the bOga sayanam of Lord arangan). I the

vEnkatEsa kavi in midst of all vidwAns in srirangam, deliver this

bagwath dyAna sObAnam. And for those who would want to easily attain

the matured and elevated mind of those parama yOgis, this (slOkam) will

also proive them with the mind that will have firm bakthi on Lord

Arangan all the time.

 

It is believed in our achArya gurupArampariyam that When these 12

slOkams of bagwath dyAna sObAnam and the 10 pAsurams of amalanAthipirAn

are chanted with the anushtAnam of thirup pAnaazhwaar and swmai dEsikan

in mind, will remove the anYAnam and provide one with athyathma

nYAnam.
