Guest guest Posted September 14, 1999 Report Share Posted September 14, 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 " !! The next section is the phala Kanda. Utkramana Parva is the first parva in phala Kanda. This is the next step to the transedental World! A chetana performs Bhakthi or Prapatti as a prAyaschittam to the past karmas. These karmas are the reason for all samsAra bandams. When he performs this prAyaschittam, there are a lot of positive changes that take place in him. He now wants to restrain from doing such karmas which results in punya and pApA. He realises that his mind, words and body has to be devoted only for Lord's kainkaryam. He controls his mind from getting distracted. He gets himself associated with bAgavatas and delinks himself from people who are not devoted. He desires to have paripoorna anubhavam of the Lord like the nityasoories but is not successful. This failure makes him feel that he is being immersed in ThiruppArkadal without being able to drink milk because his mouth is tied!! His heart melts on seeing his own plight. Each nAzhigai at night moves like a kalpa. He does not sleep either in the morning or at night. He acknowledges that but for the Lord it would not be possible for him to escape this samsAram. With this state of mind he prays to the Lord to destroy his agjnana and sarira. The words spoken by him during Prapatti confirms the start of his journey to Srivaikundam. All the Karmas and attachments which were hindrances till now are destroyed and he gets Moksha!! The end of his stay in this world comes closer. The Yoga sastras speak of the identifications that can be seen at the end of a persons life time. Seeing these identifications and realising that the day to reach Srivaikundam is getting reduced, the person feels extremely happy. There are certain rules (based on the time, place etc of death) mentioned in the sastras based on which a persons state after death is analysed. That is 1. A person who dies in UttarAyaNa, in sukla paksha, in the morning, in a good stala, in good saguna, will reach a good state (gadhi) 2. a person who dies in dakshiNAyana, krishna paksha, at night, in a bad place, in a bad omen will have a bad gadhi. However, these restrictions are not there for a Prapanna. Swami Desika re-emphasises this in the 38th Sloka of Saranagathy Deepika " savyAnyanyOrayanayOrnishi vAsarE vA ... " To a Prapanna irrespective of the place or moment for bodily existence to come to an end, it is auspicious. Without any hindrances and without rebirth the Lord grants Moksha. The Lord does Sankalpa during the time of Prapatti itself to destroy the Punya/ pApA's done before Prapatti, and to prevent the punya/ pApA's done unknowingly after Prapatti from sticking on to him. Those punyas and pApA's get switched over to others during his time of death i.e., the punyas and Papas of a Prapanna who is dying is transferred to his friends and enemies respectively. This is because of their behaviour towards him. At the time of death, there is a restriction that one has to remember the Lord by his own efforts => only then there is palan. A prapanna does not have any necessity to take efforts to remember Lord at that state. During the time of death he lies unconscious like a wood or a stone. The Lord makes him think of the Lord alone. His desire to reach Srivaikundam does not reduce. At this stage the Lord stands as a cause for the Jiva to be released from the sarIram. Yama dootas do not come to take him. The Lord combines the karmEndriyAs, GjnanEndriyAs and the manas. This is combined with the prAna vAyu. This prAna vAyu is mixed with the Jiva. This combination, in this sarIram mixes with a small portion of pancha boodhas. All this combine with the antaryAmi residing in the hrudayakamalam. The antaryAmi (Lord) relieves one of the tiredness during release from the body. So, our Lord does all these upakAras to us starting from taking the 10 IndriyAs .. to releasing the Jiva.. to making us relax from the tiredness.. To Prapannas, punyAtmas, Papi's and to everybody it is the same. These will happen irrespective of whether a Jiva goes to Moksha, Svarga or naraga. In the body there are 101 nAdI's that branch from the heart. If the Jiva is released from the 100 nAdI's, it goes to Svarga etc. The Lord does not allow the Prapanna to enter into these 100 nAdI's. The 101st nAdi, the brahma nAdi the edge of this is the door step for Moksha. The Lord shows this in a way that a Prapanna understands. The Lord makes it (IndriyAs, prAnavAyu combined with sookshmA sarIras JivA) enter that nAdi. Later, from the hrudayakamala the Lord takes the Jiva further. The Lord resides in this stoola sarIram and so it is called as brahmapuram. In this stoola sarIra Brahmarantran is important. The Final departure of the soul from the body is only by the grace of God through the Brahma nAdi and the Brahmarandhra in the skull. The Lord also makes him get hold of the sooriya kiranas as a hold for the hand and then to go to Srivaikundam makes him take the archirAdimArgam! The above write up is based on " Rahasyartha Vivaranam " by Shri RamadEsikachAriyar Swami and Shri D. Ramaswamy Ayyangar's commentary on Swami Desika's Saranagathy Deepika.
