Dear BhakthAs of Swamy Desikan :

 

(942) (PraNavam ) abhiyAnAdhi panjAvasara-kruthya

phalOkthimathE nama:

 

(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who instructed us

on the fruits of the PanchakAla prakriyaa ( worship at the five

divisions of the day ) :

 

(a) abhigamanam : the time in early morning , when we approach

the Lord and perform the Prapatthi to Him for blessing us to perform

kaimkaryams for Him duirng that day . The blemish to be averted

here is anyAbhigamanam ( defect of approaching Gods other than

Sriman NaarAyaNan).

 

(b) UpAdhAnam : assembly of ingredients for Bhagavadh AarAdhanam

and getting mentally prepared .The blemish to be avoided here is

anyArTa Pravrutthi ( engagement in acts seeking other phalans such as

making money for oneself ).

 

© Ijyaa : Performance of AarAdhanam for Bhagavaan .The blemish to be

avoided here is not worshipping other gods instead of Sriman NarAyaNan

alone.

 

(d) SvAdhyAyam : reflection after Ijyai on anything related to BhagavAn

such as Vedam , Japam et al. The blemish to be avoided here is talking about

other things ( anya keerthanam).

 

(e) yOgam : Meditation on BhagavAn before going to sleep and in the early

hours of the Morning before getting up for daily anushtAnam .The blemish

to be avoided here is anya dEvathA chinthanam .

 

With this Sahasra Naamam , SaadhyOpAya sOdhanAdhikAram is concluded .

*******************************************************************************

>From 943-953 Sahasra Naamams , the 25th chapter of Srimath Rahasya

Thraya Saaram ( PrabhAvavyavasTAdhikAram ) is covered . This chapter

deals with the glories of Prapathti and the boundaries in Jaathi and Kulam

among Bhagavath BhAgavathAs .

 

(943) (PraNavam) VishNubhaktha ChathurTaadhi BrAhmaNya

vinivArakAya nama:

 

(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who held the view that

BhagavathAs of the Lord , who performed SaraNAgathy to their Lord

attain the same Moksha siddhi although they as members of

the 4 varNams of BrahmaNAs , KsathriyAs , VaisyAs and SoodhrAs

have their own distinct AchAra niyamams (dharmic observances duirng

their lives here) . Observing these prescribed AchArams and

anushtAnams distinct to each of the 4 VarNams , they gain

the same Moksham after Prapatthi . It is in this context , it is

said that there are no differences among the BhagavathAs

linked to the 4 varNams .They are all VishNu BhakthAs .

 

(944) (PraNavam) VidhurAdhi svajAthyuktha dharmAlangana

dhrushtimathE nama:

 

(Meaning) : Salutations to that AchAryan , who knew that

Vidhurar did not transgress his Jaathi dharmam although he was

a Parama BhAgavathar dear to the Lord . Vidhurar belonged to

the 4th VarNam and did not try to practise the assigned dharmams

for the other VarNams .Similarly , the most evolvd AzhwArs like

Swamy NammAzhwAr , ThiruppANar did not transgress their own

VarNa dharmAs ( Jaathi dharmAs and vyavasthais/boundaries ).

One who is born in other varNams does not transform into

BrahmaNa jaathi even if he distinguishes himself with high

anushtAnam .

 

(945) (PraNavam) nirvyUDa vidhura BrahmamEdha samskruthi

sookthikAya Nama:

 

(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan ,who settled the confusion

relating to Dharma Puthrar ( a Kshathriyan by birth ) performing

BrahmamEdha SamskArams ( last rites ) uniquely used for

the cremation of Brahmins.

 

(Comments): Dharmaputhrar heard an aakAsa VaaNi ( asareeri vaak ,

which is equivalent to deva Aaj~nai) commanding him to perform

BrahmamEdha SamskAram for Vidhurar . Dharmaputhrar did it silently

without manthrams and this way did not disregard dEvAj~nai

or did something not recommended for a Bhaagavathar of another

Jaathi.

 

(946) ( PraNavam ) yadhveesa VidhuraannadhanOkthi

nirvAha dakshiNAya nama:

 

(Meaning) : Salutations to that AchAryan , who was skilled at

explainig why Lord Krishna partook the food prepared by Vidhurar

during His visit to HasthinApuram as PaaNDava DhUthan.

 

(Comments) : KrishnA's answer to DuryOdhana's question on

why KrishNa did not eat at his house , but at the house of

one from the 4th VarNa was : One can not eat the food served by

one's enemies.You are the enemy of PaaNDavAs , who are like my

PrANan . Hence , you are my enemy as well .Therefore I could not eat

at your house. Vidhura is a Parama BhAgavathan , who with the niyamams

presented me food that I was happy to take . That is acceptable to

SaasthrAs.

 

(947) ( PraNavam) athidhEsAnarhakAri-soonu vruttha

prakAsakAya Nama:

 

(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who reminded us

that some of the acts of of avathara Purushar ( exemplary

and evolved souls) like VidhurA should not be taken as examples

for emulation by one and all .

 

(Comments): Vidhurar is a special person .He is a Parama BhAgavathar ,

who was adept at UpAsanAs . He was the son of Dharma dEvathai.

Citing that Dharma Puthra did Brahma Medha Samskaram to Vidhurar

belonging by birth to the 4th VarNam , one can not recommend similar

treatment for all belonging to that Jaathi. One should not transgress

Jaathi boundaries by citing Vidhurar's charithram . He was a visEsha

purushar , for whom extraordinary events happened due to Bhagavath

Sankalpam .

 

(948) (PraNavam) Bhagathbhaktha sudhrAdhi dheedhAnaadhi

kruthi priyAya nama:

 

(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who settled the boundaries

of Jaathi . Vidhurar was born in the 4th varNam although he was a highly

evolved soul (Brahma Jn~Ani) . He confined himself to giving upadEsam on

ways to gain JN~Anam through upAsanaa and stayed away from

initiating others like DhirutharAshtran into Brahma VidhyA manthrams

due to his respect for Jaathi dharmam restrictions. DhruthrAshtran belonged

to

the 2nd VarNam of Kshathrian , while Vidhurar belonged to the 4th varNam.

 

(Comentary ) : SaashtrAs say that Jn~ana UpadEsam can be obtained from

one of lower varNam , when those of higher or equal varNam are not

available.

 

SaasthrAs also prohibit one of lower VarNam to perform Brahma VidhyA

manthrOpadEsam to one of higher varNam . Vidhurar observed this command

of the Bhagavath Saasthrams strictly .

 

(949) (PraNavam) Chaittha kaayika Soodhrathva bhEdha vyAkhyAna

DakshiNAya Nama:

 

(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who could explain clearly

the differences between the BrahmaNanathvam ( status of being a Brahmin )

or Soodhrathvam due to birth and due to other things that happen in life

after birth .

 

(Comments) : There are differences in the BrAhmaNathvam arising from

the body and BrAhmaNathvam arising from Manas(mind) for different people .

 

A . BrahmaNa Jaathi is due to Sareeram (birth) : (1) This he attains as

a result of being born in BrahmaNa kulam and this does not change until

death. The jeevan inside the body has however no distinction that it is

BrahmaNan or Kashathriyan, Vaisyan or Soodhran (2) SaasthrAs define

clear boundaries between different varNaas in terms of what they should

and should not do as members of one VarNam or other (3) Even if one is born

in a higher Jaathi , he reaches a lower state due to improper activities

and , he is therfore fit to be condemned .

 

B. BrahmaNathvam arising from Manas ( Mind ) : (1) It arises from

AchArya Sambhandham ; for others like PrahlAdhan , it is Janma siddham

( although born in asura kulam , his exemplary conduct as a Parama

Bhaagavathan confers on Him BrAhmaNathvam right from birth ; this is true

for all Garbha BHAgavathAs independent of the Jaathi they were born in .

There are a lot of Vaibhavams associated with Brahminhood . This again is

valid for all due to their exemplary conduct as a Parama BhAgavathAs of the

Lord even if by birth , they belong to a lower Jaathi by birth .

 

Narakam will rsult for those , who insult a Parama BhAgavathan , who has

attained BrahmaNathvam by exemplary conduct even if he is by birth

belongs to a lower Jaathi (VarNam) .
