Mumookshapadi -Thirumantra Prakaranam Part-III

[Guest guest]

In the last post, it was mentioned that out of 3 Vyapaka

Mantras(viz, Narayana,Vasudeva and Vishnu),

Narayana Saptham is most superior, We will see how that is

substantiated

in Mumookshapadi:

 

Continued....

 

11. Due to its importance, Thirumantram is considered as the Maha

Mantram.

 

12. Other Two Vyapaka Mantras(viz, vasudevan,Vishnu) have two

drawbacks.

 

Those are,

 

a. Apoorthi-Incompleteness .

 

The term Vishnu is Incomplete in one sense that it explains only his

Vyapthi(omni presence) but not his Kalyana gunas(Divine attributes)

Similarly, The term Vasudeva implies that everything in Him(Sarvam

Vasathi) . it however, does not describe his Kalyana Gunas.

 

b. Achista Parigraham-

 

The other two mantras are supported by advaitis who

have not comprehended God's real nature and hence it is a drawback.

 

 

Narayana Saptham, however, describes Bhagavan's Svarupam(inherent

nature),Roopam(form) and Kalyana

Gunas(Divine attributes).

Hence thirumantra is superior to other mantras.

 

13. This Maha mantra was liked by Vedas,Rishis,Azhwars and acharyas.

 

14.The Name of the Lord is considered more important than the Lord

Himself.

 

15. Even if the Lord is away, His Mantram would be with the prapanna

and

protect him.

 

16.It is like how Draupadi was saved by Lord at Hastinapuran when he

was actually away at Dwaraka.

(When Draupadi called "Dwaraka Nilaya Achutha" and surrendered to

him, God helped her while he

was actually at far Dwaraka.)

 

17.even if Thirumantram is chanted without any adherence to the

Kramam, it

would be still beneficial.

 

(For Chanting other Mantras, there are some niyamams and procedures

without adherencing which it will not bestow any benefit.

Thirumantram , however, even if it chanted without any adhearence to

any niyamam, it would give all the benefits)

 

 

What are the benefits of Thirumantram?

 

We will discuss that in the next post.
