the people's minds) Pillai Lokacharyar removed the darkness in this world throughhis divine 18 rahasya granthas, called Ashtadasa Rahasyas. Bydoing that he removed the avidya that had covered the minds of the jIvas and made them forget their true nature, as wellas the nature of the Lord and the prakruti. His works such as Tattva Trayam and Tattva Sekaram explain the three principles - the tattva trayam - that is a cornerstone of our sampradhayam. Through these works, he showed that the jIva is not a svatantra but a paratantra.That is, the jIva is not independent but is the property ofthe Lord and is bound to Him. With his Sri Suktis, he cleaned the ahankAra in the minds of the people that madethem forget their subservient nature to the Lord. By givingthem the true knowledge, he now forever exists in the mindsof the people. Vedanta Desikan
