Guest guest Posted September 16, 1999 Report Share Posted September 16, 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 " !! Divya DEsa Prapti Parva, the next parva in phala Kanda is the eighth step to the transedental World. For time immemorial the Jiva had involved himself into activities unacceptable to his svaroopam as a result of which he had to hang around in the samsAra. That life is an endless trouble! Having got rid of his troubles, this Jiva takes up the extraordinary archirAdhi mArgam and goes to paramapadam. He immerses himself in the clear, sweet smelling cool water of the viraja river. His Sookshma sarIram which came along gets destroyed. Amaanava, with his pure hand, now touches this mukta. This touch relieves the mukta of his old samsAra feelings. This Jiva is now in the paramapadam, the same place as that of the Lord!!! He gets a form like the Lord => without any link to Prakritti. It is impossible for a person without the required qualifications (vivEkam, mental urge, vairAgyam, and fear as explained in the earlier postings) to reach Srivaikundam. Only a paramaikAntin who does not worship anybody other than our Lord and who does not seek anything other than Bagavad/ bAgavatha kainkaryam can get Moksha. Nitya soories always keep seeing paramapadam (their gjnana never contracts). Srivaikundam is not affected by time => there is no concept of nAzhigai, day, month etc. Srivaikundam is million times brighter than Sun or Agni. This divine lOka is always bright, it has no limitations what so ever. It is impossible to comprehend the Sweetness of Srivaikundam. Even great yogis cannot think, speak or measure its greatness. Every thing in Srivaikundam is Suddha sattvam. The chetana now enters this place of unending happiness! After the chetana crosses the viraja river he is received, welcomed, respected, loved and worshiped by those residing in Srivaikundam! There are two water bases " aram " and " Nyam " . This chetana sees the perfect gardens, the mountains (full of ratnas), rivers and lakes all full of suddhasatva. Earlier he had thought about these briefly after having read about them from the upanishads, Sri pAncharAtra sastras, Sri vaikunda gadyam etc. Now, he is blessed with a direct vision! He sees yet another poigai called JarammadIyam. In a world of endless extreme happiness this Poigai is like a flood of happiness surrounding it. After this he approaches a beautiful divine arasa maram named sOmasavanam. The nithya soories keep prostrating to it! Later the Lord sends 500 apsaras from Srivaikundam to welcome this mukta. They organise themselves in batches of 100's and offer him garlands of suddhasatvam, fragrant powders, dresses etc. At that time the sound of the tirucchinnam and valampuri changam reverberate everywhere. These apsaras do mangalAsasanam to the mukta. He is treated like a prince! They adorn him with different kinds of ornaments appropriate to visit Srivaikunta nAthan!! From there he approaches a tree called " tilyam " . After this he reaches " sAlajyam " a default mantapam. Later he arrives at a divine stAnam called " aparAjitam " . At that time Srivaikuntanathan's divine fragrance, divine essence and divine tEjas comes to him. His body becomes extremely bright like the fragrance of pArijAtha flower, amrutham and sun God melted and combined together! He approaches Srivaikundam which is far greater that the vishnu lOkas viz., AmOdam, pramOdam and sammOdam in the samsAra mandala. The nithyasoories welcome him. He approaches the Gopuram adorned with flags. There are two dvArapAlakas in the entrance of the Gopura gate by name Indra and PrajApathi. They offer their salutations to him stating that, " You, who are a dasa to the Lord is a Swamy to us " ! They request him to enter into the Gopura vAsal. This Gopura vAsal is always open to people who seek refuge in the Lord! He proceeds beyond it. There are beautiful big streets, with the thirumAligai's of nithya soories on either side. The thirumAligai's are arranged in a row and look like mountains of ratnas. The nithyasoories consider the muktas arrival as their bAgyam and take him to their thirumAligai. They offer water to his feet in an appropriate manner. Goddess Sri, Bhoomi and nIla Devi come with their attendants and welcome the mukta with the fragrant powders which had adorned Lords thirumEni. They offer him poorna kumbam and mangala deepam and welcome him. The above write up is based on " Rahasyartha Vivaranam " by Shri RamadEsikachAriyar Swami.
