Guest guest Posted July 6, 1999 Report Share Posted July 6, 1999 Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Dear Bhaktas, Just as a refresher, the first two Upanyasams discuss the following topics (based on the excellent summary of Sri V. Sadagopan Swamin). The upanyAsams can be split into Five constituent parts : 1. Svasthi Vachanam , Sautations to pUrvAchAryAs and Srirangam Divya Dampathis and recognition of the Kaimkaryams of USA based BhakthAs to advance the cause of our ancient sampradhAyam and a plea to work together . 2. UpakAra Sangraham / BhagavAn's limitless help to us : Elaboration of the First verse of UpakAra Sangraham of Swami Sri Desikan . 3. The Supermacy of ArchAvathAram over Para , VyUha , Vibhava and AntharyAmi forms of the Pancha Roopi , Sriman NaarAyaNA : Three facets of our conviction that Archai is the most important for us , as residents of His LeelA vibhuthi , while we strive to attain Moksha Siddhi through SadAchArya Sambhandham and BhagavAn's acceptance of our Prapatthi performed by our sadhAchAryAs on our behalf . 4. The significance of ThAyAr's ( SitA PirAtti"s ) auspicious katAksham on four occasions in Srimadh RaamAyaNam in the context of the use of the ThAyAr's kalyaaNa nAmam as " VisAlAkshi" by Her prANa nAthan, Sri Raamachandra MahA Prabhu. 5. The elevated role of Piratti in the process of granting SharaNagati-the importance of Sri Devi, Bhu Devi, NeeLa Devi, Daya Devi and Padhuka Devi-the six aspects of the term Sri, and their significance, the attributes of Bhu Devi and NeeLa Devi and of course Swami desikan's Anubhavam of Daya Devi and Padhuka Devi from the Daya Shatakam and Padhuka Sahasram, respectively. With pramAnams from AzhwAr's divya prabhandham , purvAchAryA's Sri Sookthis ,IthihAsams ,Quotations from KrishNa KarNAmrutham , the revered AchAryA drove home the following messages of his upanyAsam : (1) Sriman NaarAyaNA's limitless upakArams to us (2) the uniqueness of NamperumAL and the worship of Him in ArchAvathAram at Srirangam over and above the worship of Him by all of us through any one of His other four forms ( Param ,Vyuham , Vibhavam and AntharyAmi )(3)The extreme act of compassion on the part of Piratti in coming to the rescue of a Prapanna. Sriman Madhavakannan Swamin has kindly agreed to coordinate this Kaimkaryam in Singapore and India. Therefore, Bhagavatas in Singapore and India, who wish to purchase the tapes may get in touch with Sriman Madhavakannan Swamin at: srivaishnavan Proceeds from the sale of the tapes will go to Srimad Poundarikapuram Ashramam.
