Guest guest Posted November 29, 2001 Report Share Posted November 29, 2001 Sri Venkata Gurave Nama: Sri Vara Vara Muneya Nama: Srimathe Ranaujaya Nama: Respected Members of Ramanuja Group, Mumookshapdi- Introduction Swami Pillai Lokachar is one of the pillars of our Samradayam. He has written 18 Rahasya Granthas which helps one in understanding the Ramanuja Siddhttham in a better way. He was born to Vadakku Thiruveedhi Pillai who was the Sishya of Swami Nampillai. The Word Mumooshapadi consists of two words 1.Mumookshu- the one who yearns for Moksham 2. Padi- to be understood. Hence This Grantham consists of those which a Mumookshu should know. It has three major chapters.. 1. Thirumantra Prakaranam 2. Dvaya Prakaranam 3. Sarama Sloka Prakaranam. Mumookshapdi gives full meanings of Thirumantram, Dvyam and Sarama Slokam and engages in detail lots of do's/Don'ts of a Prapanna. We get to know a lot of Sri Vaishnava Conducts and Practices that were advocated by our poorvacharyas. In the coming weeks, I would attempt to give freely tranalations on original grantham of MM padi, using mostly the explanations given by vaikundavasi Sri.T.S.Rajagoplan (retd, Head master, Hindu High school, Triplicane) . I also intend to use the explanations given by Sri Manavala Mamuni on his vyakyanam on Mumookshapadi. This book was published many years ago by Sri. PBA Swamy of Kanchi.Should there be any mistakes in my postings, it has to be misconceptionsfrom my end. I am sure i will be corrected by the learnt members of our group. Thirumantra Prakaranam explains the nature of ParamAtma , jeevatma and establishes that being a servant of lord, it is imperative and natural for the souls (Jeevan) to engage in nitya Kaimkaryam to Him. Dvaya Prakaranam deals with what are the 'upayam' (the way) for a soul to attain a position to do nitya Kaimkaryam and what is the 'upeyam' (the fruit or the result) of such endeavor. Further, it also explains how Purushakaram(Divine Intervention) of Periya Piratti helps a jeevan in his salvation. Dvaya mantram is considered to be the 'Mantra Ratnam' in our sampradayam. Sarama Slokam acts as a vivaranam of Dvaya Mantram. Sarama Sloka Prakaranam deals with what are those acts that a prapanna should Relinquish, what should be his state of mind after relinquishing and how the Grace of Bhagavan acts to get the prapanna out of cycle of births and deaths. We will discuss Thirumantra Prakaranam from the next post. Jeeyar Thiruvadigale saranam.
