"yasOdhai" oru poruL viLakkam

Dear bAgawathAs, mArgazhi, Day 13

 

AshtAkshra mantram can yield many more palans to one. Sri

thirumangai AzhwAr explains this in "kulam tharum.." pasuram. One

of the palan is that, it will do "peRRa thAyinum Aayina seyyum".

ie mAthA or mother is the one who creates the basic sareeram in

her woumb (sAreera swaroopam for the jivAtma in its current birth)

when the jivAtmA is passed onto her from the sareeram of the

Father. Sri periya vAcchAn pillai delivered that as similar to

mAthA, this mantram will give the athma swaroopam known as "nyAna

vikAsam" ("peRRa thAYinum Ayina seyyum"). ie., It will help remove

the anyAnam that this sareeram is one's swa roopam and provide the

second or the original sareeram for the "AthmA" which is its

swaroopam. Hence the mantra upadesam (leading to receiving Athma

swaroopam) that a jivAtma receives is as similar to the "swaroopam"

(sareera swroopam) one will get in the womb of their mother. Only

difference is that this mantra upadEsam gives them the "Athma

swroopam" or lead to that by providing the requisite knowledge to

attain it.

 

It must be noted from the cycle of a birth that it takes

36 weeks for a fetus to completely grow in a mother's womb. As

Similar to that the Athma nyAna swroopa viLakkam also has to take

certain definite time and one has to take all the extra care and

follow the procedure in doing their japam as similar to a "mAtha"

taking all possible care to deliver the baby as a full grown and

healthy one. There is an underlying reason as to why the mantra

upadEsam is equated to one's own mAthA. ie., extra care will be taken

by the mantra palan in one's realisation of Athma swaroopam.

One must note that the word "upadEsam" always is connected in

this equation and that mantra has to be initiated by an "AchAryA"

(symbolised here by reference to "Sri NadagOpan"). Just as similar

to the scientific fact that a human species cannot be "cloned"

without a Father's, the mantra is not to be conceived without an

upadEsam from an AchAryA.

 

 

The word yAsOdhai means one who gives yasusai or keertthi.

The keerthi referred here is the Athma swaroopa viLakkam that one

may get due to mantra upadEsam. She is known as one who provides

the keertthi for the whole of "AAypAdi". She commanded very much

respect among the Aaycchiyars. It is said that when everyone

complains to her that Sri Krishna is doing this mischief or that,

she used to take such a complaint as a compliment for her ownself

in her mind due to the love on Sri Krishna. A mother's care for a

child never stops. As similar to a mother taking all precautions

for growing a healthy child in her womb, a mother is also very

careful on the well being of a child until it grows to an age of

conducting its own self, responsibly. Sri yAsodhai used to take extra

care such that her son is not only healthy but also becomes

a good child. She attempted to correct the child many times when

there is a complaint lodged on the mischievous conduct of Lord

Sri krishna. As similar to this the "mantra japam" one may do

following the protocols and procedure will also guide them in their

path to attain the Lord. This final state is also known as

the "mantra siddhi". At the outset, the mantra japam one may do

will take care of them as similar to Sri yasOdahi taking care of

Lord Sri Krishna.

(It is said that the jivan that is seeded in the clouds, comes

down to earth with rains and lives in the thAvaram or plant and

from plants it gets into the sareeram of the Father and lives

there a certain time and finally gets into the Mother's womb where

it gets its swaroopam).
