483) (PraNavam) anyadEvaparAcharyA-thyAgaparyantha-

bhOdhakruthE nama:

 

(meaning): Salutations to that great AchAryan , who declared

that an AchAryan, who has interest in Para dEvathAs (DevathAs

other than SrIman NaarAyaNan) could be abandoned .

 

A prapannan is expected not to worship any god other than

BhagavAn (SrIman NaarAyaNan) to have the fruits of his

prapatthi. He can salute Bhagavath parivArams and BhAgavathAs.

This code of contact is what a SdaachAryan instructs a Prapannan ,

who should never cease worshipping his AchAryan for that upakAram.

 

Swamy Desikan raises a question about one's AchAryan ,

who develops a taste for worshipping devathAntharams

( gods other than th Supreme One , SrIman NaarAyaNan ,

the Moksha Daayakan ).In the case of such an AchAryan ,

who has swerved from the prescribed path , Swamy Desikan

says that it is correct not to salute that AchAryan any more.

Until that AchAryan corrects his errant ways , performs

prAyascchittham , that AchAryan has to be abandoned and

another AchAryan , who follows the Saasthaic injunctions

should be chosen by the Prapannan. Swamy Desikan points

out that the sishyan can remind the AchAryan about his lapse

and can perform prapathti for the AchAryan at the sacred

feet of the Lord as well meaning kaimkaryam for that AchAryan.

 

In AchAruya ParamparA dhyAnnam , there should not be any

discontiunities in salutation starting from SrIman

NaarAyaNan as PrathamAchAryan down to the current AchAryan .

To avoid any break in that chain as a result od lapses on

the part of the present AchAryan , Swamy Desikan points out that

one should mediatate on BhagavAn , who is the indweller

of that erring AchAryan and place BhagavAn in the AchArya

sTAnam to maintain the required continuity in the Guru ParamparA.

This is the duty of the true sishyan says Swamy Desikan .

 

The 38th question in VirOdha ParihAram elaborates on

this type of SaasthrOktha Kaimkaryam done by a sishyan to

an erring AchAryan .
