Dear Bagavadotthamaas,

We all had the wonderful opportunity of hearing Sri. U.Ve. Devarajan

swami’s upanyasam on "mudaliandanin 10 vaarthaigal" on Sunday[3/3/02].

Adiyel feel doubly happy and proud of being Mudaliandan sishyai and posting this

at the appropriate time.i.e on Thiru Maasi kettai of annavilappan swamigal..(9th

descendant of Mudaliyandan Swamy)

As all of us know, Mudaliandan swamigal is considered as the punar Avatharam of

Lord Rama and hence the name ‘daasarathi’. Andan enjoys a high

status in EmberumAnar's thiruvullam of being a great disciple of swami.

His importance is very much shown in different places in Emberumanar’s

life history. Further Andan enjoys the status of being like Padukai and

Thridandam to Swami, and infact Swamy entrusted Andan with the Administration

of the entire "Koyil" .

Without going much into details, I would like to give a consice summary of

Andanin 10 words mainly comparing Chethanan living in mundane life (us) with

the Sitapiraati in Lanka , as told by Sri.Devaraj swamigal with brief

explanation of each points.

1)Taking the Piraati side ,she was abducted and imprisoned Ravana’s

place.Where as the Chethanan is imprisoned in this samsaric world.

2. Piraati realizes the cause of sufferings (seperation from Rama) was

absolutely due to the incisive and caustic allusions she made towards an

impeccable soul-Lakshmana. Similarly to a chetanan, the path

that connects him to the paramathma is immediately blocked the moment he

commits a baagavadha apacharam and thus can never reach ‘Him’.

Where in bagavan says

‘padma koti sade naapi, na kshmaami vasundare’.

3. Just as Piraati spending 10 months in Asoka Vanam , Chetanan spends 10 months

in Karba Vasam.

4.Piraati was constantly surrounded and illtreated by the demons(Arakys). The

Chetanan is also tied with his family bondage.

As kambar says, "van marungul vaal arakkiyar nerukka angirrunthaal.Vaanathava

baasargal meaning aabaasa bandhukkal".

5.Like Maaricha created an illusion to Piraati in the form of a wonderful sharp

horned golden deer similarly the chetanan is attracted to the fallacious

benefits the materialistic world,there by tempted to engage more and more in

the wordly matters.

6.For Piraati, Sirya Thiruvadi explains Rama Vrithantham and for Chethanan Acharyan

7. In the Asoka Vana Sriya Thiruvadi explains Sita, the visesha kalyana gunas of

Rama.In the same way, Acharyan preaches the chetanan about the bagavan kalyana

gunas.

8.Siriya tiruvadi handed over the kanaiazhi to piratti and identified himself by

hinting a conversation that took place between Piraati and Rama in private.In

the same way the Acharyan gives the visesha tirumantraartha upadesam

thro’ guru parampara.

9.Piratti in return gave her choodamani explainng Rama of her plight in the

Asoka Vana.But the role of an acharyan acting as a mediator between bagavan and

jeevathma can never be valued or measured in terms of what the chetnan can offer

to acharyan more than lying at the feet of Acharyan saying "talai allaal kai

maru illene".

10.The only factor that gave comfort to piratti was her friend ship with the

matron trsadai[daughter of vibishana].To the chetanan the quick way of

liberation attaining inthis world is to be always accompanied by baaghavathaas.

11.Finally Lord Rama Himself came to Lanka and rescued Piraati and for Chethana

He comes and liberates the soul from unending sufferings,

Pl note that Sita did not take any effort to reach Rama though she could have

done it all by herself , similarly Chetana is not fit to put any effort to

reach him, only His Dayay the mean for Chetana.

 

Though Sri.Devaraja Swamigal explained all points within a shor time in a gem

studded words and quotes such that even Adiyel can understand, hence let me

request all Bhagavadas who enjoyed the Upanyasam to correct me if any mistakes.
