[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Dear BhakthAs of Swamy Desikan :

 

adiyEn will continue with the 891st to the 898th Desika Sahasra

Naamams today, which will cover the 22nd , 23rd Chapters of

Srimath Rahasya Thraya Saaram ( Gathi chinthanaa adhikAram

and ParipoorNa BrahmAnubhava adhikAram )

 

901) (PraNavm) Muktha-Prapanna saanandha- vibhujn~Ana

dhurandharAya Nama:

 

(Meaning) : Salutations to that AchAryan , who was able to comprehend

that the Lord is the one who has equal aanandham with Muktha jeevan

or He (Swamy is that Utthama AchAryan , who understood the Lord gains

His aanandham through the Muktha Jeevan .

 

(Comments): In Parama Padham , BhagavAn blesses the Muktha Jeevan

with Kaimkarya rasam , accepts the Kaimkaryams and becomes joyous

over it . Parama Padha Naathan is Niradhisaya Bhogyan (AarA amudhu/

insatiable nectar) and Lord shows that aspect of His svaroopam to

the Muktha jeevan and blesses that jeevan to enjoy the bliss on an equal

level

with Him . AzhwAr has described this " anthamil pErinbhatthu adiyOradi

irutthuvAn " . The Lord will bless the jeevan to perform all kaimkaryams

to his heart's content and accept them with joy. The Lord will become happy

at seeing the Muktha jeevan becoming happy . Bhagavan is intrinsically

filled

with niradhisaya aanandham . There is no inconsistency in Him getting

additional aanandham from the Mukthan's kaimkaryams . It is like the

AabharaNams

enhancing the beauty of a person , who is already beautiful .

 

902) (PraNavam) MadhuvidhyAdhyadhikAree gathyanthara visEshavidhE nama:

 

(meaning) : Salutations to that AchAryan , who knew fully well the routes

other than ArchirAdhi maargam ) prescribed for different SaadhakAs

(adhikAris) such as those perfroming upAsanais like Madhu VidhyA .

 

(Comments) : The Saadhakan practising the Brahma VidhyA known as

Madhu VidhyA wishes to attain Brahma PrApthi ( reaching Parama Padham)

after earning the position (SthAnam ) Of Vasu . He gains it . At the end of

the rule as Aditya Vasu , he attains Parama Padham . He can not therefore

travel via ArchirAdhi Maargam , since he has to welcome the Muktha Jeevans

travelling on ArchirAdhi maargam in his role as Adithya Vasu. Therefore ,

he has got a different route to Parama Padham than ArcirAdhi mArgam .

 

There are also others , who do not gain Brahma PrApthi via archirAdhi

maargam :

 

(1)There are those paramaikAnthis , who perform VyUha upAsanaa . They go

from this world to the SvEtha Dhveepam ( the continent in the middle of

the milky ocean, where only Suddha yAjis live). After that they attain

Aniruddhan ,

Pradhyumnan and SankarshaNan in that order and finally reach VyUha

Vaasudevan ( Para VaasudEvan in Sri Vaikuntam ).

 

(2)Lord Brahmaa in Sathya lOkam gain Moksham after PraLayam( Ultimate

deluge) as a result of their Bhagavath UpAsanai .

 

Thus there are different routes to Parama Padham besides ArchirAdhi maargam

prescribed for different adhikAris .

 

903) (PraNavam) MukthyavasTA aanandha taaratamya vaadha vinAsakAya Nama:

 

(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who defeated the notion that

the Muktha Jeevans in their state of Mukthi do not enjoy the same level of

bliss amongst themselves .

 

(Comments): Madhva Matham holds that there are gradations/variations in

the level of bliss enjoyed by the different Muktha Jeevans .

VisishtAdhvaitha

matham rejects that notion and holds that all mukths jeevans enjoy the same

level of bliss in Parama Padham and there are no Taaratamyams amongst them .

Madhva Matham holds that the bliss enjoyed by one who gained Mukthi from

the Deva sareeram has a higher level of enjoyment than one who got to

Parama Padham after leaving a human body . Madhvaas also believe that

the Phalan of enjoyment of Sriman NaarAyaNan in Parama Padham is

proportionate to their level of UpAsanA . Swamy Desikan rejected these

views based on Veda PramANam : ( Mukthan enjoys parama saamyam

with BhagavAn and enjoys sama bhOgams with the Lord ). Therefore all

MukthAs are dear and equal to the Lord except in the powers to create ,

protect and destroy the world. Those powers are reserved for the Lord

alone. Therefore , there are no gradations in the bliss enjoyed by the

Muktha

Jeevans , whether thay had manushya Or Deva Sareeram before gaining Mukthi.

 

904) (PraNavam) Jagathsrashta parabrahma tulyAnandha vimukthi dhrusE nama :

 

(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who knew that the Moksham is the

enjoyemnt of aanandam similar to the one enjoyed by the Lord , who creates

the world.

 

(Comments): Maharishis have stated that the Mukthan enjoys Bhogam at the

same level of the Lord except engaging in Jagath Srushti and other vyApArams

reserved for the Lord. ParamAthmA's aanandham in creating the world is

equally

enjoyed by the MukthAs by looking at those activities of the Lord without

their

direct involvement in the creative activities by the Lord .

 

905) (PraNavam) ParipoorNa ParabrahmAnubhava sruthi vEdhithrE nama :

 

(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who was knowledgable about

the portion of the Vedam dealing with ParipoorNa ParabrahmAnubhavam .

 

(Comments) : Muktha Jeevan enjoys ParipoorNa BrahmAnubhavam .

He enjoys the Para Brahmam with GuNam , Vigraham ( Form) and

VibhUthi (Iswaryam). Swamy Desikan was conversant with the Veda

Bhaagams dealing with the enjoyment of the Muktha Jeevan in

Parama Padham . "sOsnuthE " of Taittireeya Sruthi states that

the Muktha jeevan not only enjoys Brahmam but also its guNams

(i-e) the Muktha Jeevan enjoys Brahmam with its auspicious attributes .

Based on Sruthi PramANams , BhUmAdhikaraNam of SrI BhAshyam

also states that Muktha Jevan enjoys Para Brhamam with its VibhUthis.

 

906)(PraNavam) SuniscchithArTa Parabrahmaanubhaca reethikAya nama :

 

(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who clearly stated the well

established meanings of ParipoorNa BrahmAnubhavam revealed by

the Sruthis.

 

(Comments): These well established meanings are: The Muktha Jeevan enjoys

the Sacred body , limitless auspicious attributes and His Iswaryams at all

times, places and states as insatiable bliss ( Niradhisaya bhOgam ) .

 

907) (PraNavam) SamsAra PrathikoolArTa MukthyavasTAnukoolya-dhrusE nama :

 

(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who comprehended the the

prathikoola vasthus in SamsAric world become anukoola vasthus

in the state of Mukthi.

 

(Comments) : It has been stated that the LeelA VibhUthi ( Praakrutha

lOkams like ours and Nithya vibhUthi ( aprAkrutha lOkams) are

Iswaryams of ParamAthmA , who is the object of bliss for the Muktha

Jeevan in the state of Mukthi.

 

There is a question . SaashtrAs instruct us to leave SamsAric prakrutha

lOkam since it is the source of grief. In that case , how can the PrAkrutha

Vasthus cause joy to muktha jeevan ?

 

The answer is: For one with bile disease , Milk is prathikoola vasthu

(disagreeable and grief-generating vasthu) . Once the bile dhOsham

(disease) is cured , milk becomes a most enjoyable (anukoola) vasthu.

When prathikoola vasthus arising as a result of our karmAs caused sorrow ,

they become anukoola vathus after getting rid of the karmAs and gaining

MOksham .

 

 

908) (PraNavam) Sripathithva Parabrahma tulyAnandha vimukthi dhrusE nama:

 

(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who understood that the aanandham

similar to the Sriya: Pathi ( Lord of MahA Lakshmi ) is indeed Moksham .

 

(Comments):There are Veda Vaakyams , which say that the Muktha Jeevan

becomes united (Iykyam) with Para Brahmam . The correct meaning of these

passages is that the Muktha Jeevan attains Saamyam (Equality ) with the

Lord. Mukthan does not become Brahman. Mukthan is distinct from Brahman ,

who has unique attributes like Being the Lord of MahA Lakshmi and unique

VyApArams (activities ) like the creation of the Universe . Mukthan unlike

the Lord is the sareeram for the Lord and is atomic in size compared to

the Lord , who is Vibhu (all pervasive) . In Jn~Anam and aanandham ,

both Mukthan and Para Brahmam have equality .Mukthi is therefore

understood as having Jn~Anam and bliss equal to the Lord .
