Sri Pillai Lokacharya's Mumukshuppadi - 004

[Guest guest]

Sri:

Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

 

If a person develops great respect, affection and love

towards

a) the Mantra

b) the Lord who is the inner meaning of this manthra

c) the Acharya who teaches this Thirumanthra,

only then will this manthra work for his benefit.

 

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:

In the previous one, it was said that a kind and melted

heart was needed for the recital of this manthra. If the

question arises, whether that alone is sufficent, the answer

is no. The manthra's recital has its effect only when there

is love for the manthra, for Lord Sriman Narayana who is the

true meaning of the manthra, as well as for the Acharya who

out of his great kindness taught the manthra to that person.

Only then will the manthra have the true effect for the person

reciting it.
