message Lord Varadaraja of Kancheepuram took an Avathara as Swami

Pillai Lokachariar (Ulagarian) in the year 1205 CE. He fulfilled His

salkalpam (mission) by writing 18 Rahasya granthas. We can proudly

claim that He is our "Mudal" (first) Acharya to preserve these Rahasya

granthas for future generations in written document. He stayed on this

BhuLoka for 106 years and He ended His avatara after protecting Lord

Ranganatha from muslim invasion in the year 1311 CE.

> Swami Pillai Lokacharya, a benevolent Acharya, full of compassion,

confirmed the basics of Sri Vaishnava sampradayam in his 18 works

popularly known as Ashtadasa Rahasyangal. Every small detail of

Rahasyatrayam, Tatva trayam and the doctrine of unconditional

surrender (Saranagati) are explained in His divine works. This

collection of 18 works is a godsend to everybody and a must for every

jeevathma who wants to be released from the bondage of samsara. These

works are the oars and guiding lights that help us cross the vast

ocean of samsara. (We know we can not cross it by ourselves.)

> The purpose of life for every SriVaishnava is to attain eternal

bliss (constant service to Lord Srimannarayana). The Ashtadasa

Rahasyas leads us to this goal. This is why Swami Pillai Lokachar gave

us these written Granthas that were previously passed on only orally

from Acharya to Sishya. He wanted to preserve and share this knowledge

with all of us (the future generations). This shows his concern and

love for us. For all that he has done for us we should try to learn

these Rahasyas in our life time.

let us utilize it and not waste it. We will be celebrating Swami

Pillai Lokacharya's 800th Tirunakshatram (Aippasi- Thiruvonam) soon.

Let us take the first step in learning the Ashtadasa Rahasyams, by

reading all 18 Rahasyas and listening to few that are readily

available. (10 rahasyas out of the 18).

> The speaker Sri. U.Ve Velukkudi Krishnan Swami needs no

introduction. He is honored with many titles by illustrious scholars,

including major Universities. His simple, but eloquent discourses

keeps the audience captivated. Now Vedics Foundation is previlaged to

bring these discourses by Sri U. Ve Krishnan Swami on 10 Rahasyas with

a total talk time of 126 hours being released in mp3 format. This CD

set comes with a 800 page book containing the Ashtadasa Rahasyams

published by Srivaishnava sri / Sudarsanam.

to learn Ashtadasa rahasyas at least once in their lifetime. Though

the mechanical mundane world tries to rule us, we should find time to

learn these Rahasyas. The language used in the text and audio is Tamil.
