Emperuman in varAha charama slokam, says that when his bhakthan is in his final death bed not being able to think and act in a proper manner emperuman will do the thinking process, “aham smarAmi math bhaktham”. Sri Krishna in his bhagavat geetha says, anthima smrithi is absolutely essential for any jeevatma to attain the divine feet of emperuman. But devaperumal in his six words to emperumanar through thirukkachchi nambigal says, “anthima smrithi varjanam” Doesn’t these words contradict each other? There is no contradiction these two conditions are for two different adhikAris. For ordinary bhakthas who do bhakthi yogam by their effort to attain emperuman, the last thought (anthima smrithi) becomes essential as per the sastras. But in the case of a prapannan who has surrendered to the divine feet of emperuman, emperuman breaks this rule and it becomes emperuman’s responsibility to take the jeevatma/prapannan to his divine abode. That is why devaperumal says, anthima smrithi is not necessary.

 

The words of varaha moorthi negotiate between the words of Parthasarathi and devaperumal. Anthima smrithi is there. In case of bhakthas the effort of last thought is theirs but in case of prapannas the effort is on the side of emperuman. So both the words of parthasarathi and devaperumal hold good.

 

In bhagavat geetha, Sri Parthasarathi emperuman says, “ananyAt chintayan tO mAm yE janA par upAsathE tEshAm nithyAbhi yukthAnAm yoga kshEmam vahAmyaham” Yogam is giving something that has been largely desired for quite sometime. Kshemam is sustaining the obtained treasure. Here in this geethA slokam emperuman talks about the granting of moksha desired by the jeevatma as yogam and keeping him there for ever without sending him back to the samsAra mandalam as kshemam.

 

Bhoomi piratti was submerged inside the ocean and hence to save bhoomi emperuman took varahavataram. The same bhoomi suffered from atrocities of asuras and hence was put to many difficulties emperuman immediately took the krishnAvataram to remove bhoobhAram. But is this enough? Let us see in the next posting.
