Guest guest Posted August 24, 1999 Report Share Posted August 24, 1999 SrI: Shrimate Shri Lakshmi Nrusimha Parabrahmane Namaha: Shrimate Shri Seetha Ramachandra Parabrahmane Namaha: Shrimate Shri Ramanujaya Namaha: Shrimate Nigamantha Maha Desikaya Namaha: Shrimate Shrivan Satagopa Shri Narayana Yateendra Mahadesikaya Namaha: " SrimAn VenaktanAthArya: kavithArkika kEsarI! VedAnthAchArya varyO mE sannidhatthAM sadhA hrudhi " !! Swami established that the ultimate essence all knowledge is to understand that Goddess SrI is inseparable from the Lord and there is no one equal or superior to the Divya Dampathi!!! The Divine couple is inseparable. They are not separated even when they manifest as avatar's. We saw this in our 9th posting where in we dealt with the following Sloka from Vishnu Puram. " Raghavatway-abavat Sita, Rukmini Krishna janmani ! Anyeshu chavatareshu Visho-resha-yanapayinee !! ... " -- Vishnu Purana, 1 -9-144 & 145 Goddess Lakshmi is forever united with Lord Vishnu. So, when our Lord becomes Rama, Sri becomes Sita, .... Goddess Lakshmi thus adjusts herself according to the embodiments of Lord Vishnu. Now, the question is, how is it that during the rAmA avataaram, Lord Rama accepted saranAgathy (e.g. SugrIva, vibhIshanA etc.) even in the absence of sIta? Here we should understand that though sIta was physically not next to rAmA, she was really with Him. We saw this even in the trivikramA avatAram, though our Lord was a bachelor in this avatAram, being without Goddess Lakshmi was inconceivable and so Goddess Lakshmi was hidden in his Krishnajinam!!! Swami Desika has emphasised this in the paramArthastuti. ParamArthastuti is a stotra on Lord Vijayaraghava in Thirupputkuzhi, near Kanchi. Thirumangai Alvar refers to this Lord as 'Por-eru'. The context of the following Sloka plays an important role here. This is the fifth Sloka, after which Swami deals with the saranAgathy of sugrIva, vibhIshanA and the like which happens during the physical absence of sIta. So, swami as a precautionary measure clarifies that the Divya Dampathi always stand united! Swami gives prominence to the JatAyu episode of rAmAyanam, especially his supreme service at the cost of his life in this stotra. " kamalA nirapAya dharmapatnI karuNAdyA: svayamrtvijo gunAste avanam SrayatAm ahInamAdyam sa ca dharmastvadananya sEvanIya: !! " Swami says that the ritual performed by our Lord is to protect saranAgatas. Any yAgam has to accompanied by ones wife. Swami says that since periya pirAtti is always united with the Lord, our Lord performs this jAgam. The Lords compassion and such gunas itself accompany the Lord as priests. Swami adds that the ritual of protection should be performed continuously by our Lord like " ahInam " - which continues always without limitations. No body else can perform this ritual other than our Lord !! The quality of mercy of Lord rAmA has been exhibited in a lot many places. For instance Our Lord accepted vibhIshanA saranAgathy and declared that he would accept even rAvanA's saranAgathy. " ...dattamasyAbhayam mayA vibhIshano vA sugrIva vA rAvanasvayam " . Swami Desika has dealt with vibhIshana saranAgathy in Abhaya pradAna sAra in manipravAla style. Swami calls Valmiki rAmAyanam as a SarangAgathy Vedam and says the Principle of surrender is the connecting thread of all the six kAndAs. In the eighth Sloka of ParamArthastuti " saranAgatha rakshana vrati mAm... " Swami speaks of Lord rAmA's declaration " sakrdeva prapannAya tavAsmitica yAcate... " Swami Desika says " Since Lords protection extends even to a wretch like rAvana, surely I will not be forsaken or excluded however sinful I may be " . This is to give us reassurance that our Lord will definitely protect us. ParamArthastuti of Swami can be termed as a short rAmAyana. Swami Desika himself calls it ramanIya (beautiful). This is because of the blessings of Lord Vijayaragava. Swami Desika's has given us the epic of 24,000 verses in just ten verses => Paramaarthastuti!!! " Kavi Taarkika Simhaaya Kalyaana guna SaalinE! SrimatE VenkateshAya VedAnta Gurave nama !! " ....To be continued! dEsikan tiruvaDigaLE SaraNam Praveena nAmni Ramanuja dasi 24th Aug 1999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
