Dear BhakthAs of Lord RanganAtha:

 

adiyEn will start the coverage today of the meanings of

the 17 Desika Sahasra Naamams dealing with the fifth chapter

of SRTS , Tatthva Thraya chintanaa adhikAram . These 17 NaamAs are:

 

811) . (PraNavam) Tatthva-thraya visEsha-vidhE nama:

 

(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who was fully

conversant with the unique aspects (VisEshams) of the three

Tatthvams : Sentient/ChEtanam , insentient/achEtanam and

Iswaran .

 

812) . (PraNavam) SvAdheena-thrividha achicth-chith

svaroopa- sTithi-pravrutthi-dhrusee nama:

 

(Meaning) : Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who comprehended

the Lord (Sriman NaarAyaNan) as having under His control the Svaroopam ,

(Intrinsic nature of the Vasthu or dharmi ) STithi(existence)

and Pravrutthi (activities ) of the three different kinds of

the sentients and insentients (ChEtanams and achEtanms) .

 

( Comments) : The three kinds of ChEtanams are : Bhaddhar (bound

Jeevans suffering in SamsAram ) , Mukthar ( jeevans which have gained

freedom from SamsAric sufferings ) and Nithya jeevans ( eternally

liberated ones with no links to SamsAram ever ).

 

The three kinds of insentients(achEtanam) are:

 

(1) Prakruthi : it is constituted by the three guNams ( Satthvam ,

Rajas and Tamas) and it is a dhravyam that constantly experiences

changes .

 

(2) Kaalam : It is made up of divisions of second , minute , hour,

year et al .It is closely linked to the changes in Prakruthi.

 

3) Suddha Satthvam : This is pure Satthvam without any admixture of

Rajas or Tamas or Misra Sathvam . This dhravyam constitues BhagavAn's

ThirumEni and all the vasthus in Parama Padham.

 

Dharma BhUtha Jn~Anam is also includable as the 4th achEtanam.

 

In these three tatthvams that are distinct & different (vilakshaNam ) ,

The Iswara tatthvam is the one that rules ( Isan) and the other two

( ChEtanam & achEtanam) are those that are being ruled ( Isithavyam).

BhagavAn has under His control the Svaroopam , sTiti and pravrutti

of the three kinds of chEtanams and achEtanams.
