Dear BhakthAs:

 

SamprahdAya Parisuddhi is the first of

the ChillaRai Rahasyams bequeathed to us

by Swamy Desikan .

 

Scope: Our SampradhAyam starting from our Lord

and flourishing until today through the grace of

our AchAryAs is a blemishless one and is free of

any defect whatsoever.

 

Highlights:

 

***It is absolutely essential for us to prostrate

before a SadAchAryan to learn the clear meanings

of the Saasthrams to gain VedAntha Jn~Anam .Hence ,

search for a SadAchAryan , who has received upadEsam

through his AchArya paramparai is essential for us

to be blessed with the true and traditional meanings

of Saasthrams.This upadEsam has to come from

a lineage of qualified AchAryAs ( SadAchArya paramparai ).

Mere study of SaasthrAs would not be helpful even for

a great genius to comprehend the true meanings of

VedAntha Saasthrams . The knowledge obtained by

self-study , as opposed to learning in the traditional

AchArya UpadEsam route , will NOT be useful for

one's clarity of mind leading to ujjeevanam .This is

the Sadh SampradhAyam .

 

Swamy Desikan Quotes the following slOkam to

emphasize the hazards of self-learning without

the sampradhAyic upadesam from AchAryAs :

 

saasthra-Jn~Anam bahu-klEsam BuddhEscchalana KaaraNam

UpadEsAth Harim BhudhvA viramEth sarva Karmasu

 

(Meaning ): People with their wavering minds will

experience immense difficulties in learning Saasthrams.

They should seek upadEsam from a sadAchAryan and learn

about important Tattvams such as Isvaran and desist

from learning SaasthrAs on their own.

 

*** What is to be learnt via Sadh SampradhAyam ?

 

There are many vishayams (tatthvams) that can not

be grasped though our senses. These vishayams can

only be understood through the sadh SampradhAyam

rooted in Saasthrams given to us by the Lord

in His role as Saasthra PaaNi and preserved and

propagated in their pristine form by the lineage of

our SadAchAryAs .The artha VisEsha nirNayam of

adhyAthma Saasthrams ( the true comprehension of

the inner meanings of the VedAntha Saasthrams)

can only be realized through SadAchArya sampradhAyam.

 

These Vishayams(Tatthvams ) comprehendable solely

through Sadh SampradhAyam embracing the Saasthrams

are: BhagavAn , Moksham and the means (upAyam )for

securing Moksham . These can not be seen by the eyes.

These can only be experienced to gain siddhi through

Sadh sampradhAyam propagated through the lineage

of SadAchAryAs starting from our Lord as the Prathama-

AchAryan .
