Desika Prabhandham--> IX: Paasurams 73-75

(Moola Manthra , Dhvaya & Charama slOka adhikArams)

 

SrI:

 

Dear Swamy Desika BhakthAs:

 

In this posting , adiyEn will cover 3 more Paasurams( 73-75) of

Desika Prabhandham , which are the 34th to the 36th Paasurams of

AdhikAra Sangraham.They deal with the most important

rahasyams of AshtAksharam ( Moola Manthram) , Manthra Rathnam

( Dhvayam ) and BhagavaAn's own upadEsam ( Charama SlOakm)

for our upliftment .

 

(73)Moola ManthrAdhikAram

************************

SrIman NaarAtyaNan is the sole cause for the Universe and

stands superior to all gods as SarvEswaran. He protects

all of His creation. We who are different from insentients

stand as His eternal servants . We pray for the boon of nithya

kaimkaryam peformed by Nithya Sooris in SrI Vaikuntam

by banishing our ahankAra-mamakArams , by seeking the Lord

alone as the upAyam (means) for gaining Moksha sukham.

We hold on to our Lord's sacred feet firmly and place

the burden of protection and the fruit of protection at

His holy feet to enjoy this eternal and joyous kaimkaryam

to Him at His Supreme abode of SrI Vaikuntam.

We have been initated in to the Moola Manthram

with its deep meanings by our AchAryAs and we

recite it and reflect on its meanings for sathsathi .

 

The key passage in this Prabhandha Paasuram is:

 

" uyirAy mAymai theernthu , maRRu ohr vazhi inRi ,

adaikkalamAy payanthavan NaarAYaNan paadhangaL

sErnthu nall manu Ohdinam "

 

(meaning ): After removal of the ajn~nam about

the Svaroopam of the JeevAthman/chEthanam ( being different

from the insentients/achEthanam) , we hold on to the sacred

feet of our Lord , SrIman NaarAyaNan alone as the unfailing

means for our protection and recitte His Moola manthram

and meditate on its many rejuvenating meanings .

 

74) DhvayAdhikAram

*****************

SrIman NaarAyaNan united two separate passages

of Kata Valli of Vedam and transformed it in to Dhvaya

Manthram and blessed us with it as the loftiest gem among

manthrAs. We are firm about the meaning of this manthram

(as instructed by our AchAryAs) as being the performance

of nithya Kaimkaryam to the Divine couple (dhivya Dampathis)

at SrI Vaikuntham without the ahankAra-mamakArams

after seeking our Lord's holy feet as the sole means for

our protection .We reflect on these meanings of dhvayam .

 

The key words of this paasuram are: " Ohdhum iraNDai

isaitthu udhavum ThirumAl paadham iraNDUm saraNN

yena paRRi , namm PankayatthAL NaaTanai naNNI ,

nalam thihazh nAttil adimai yellAm kOdhu il uNartthiyudan

koLLumARu kuRitthanam "

 

" Odhum iraNDu, isaitthu udhavum ThirumAl " refers to

the helpful Lord , who united the two Vaakyams from

the Vedam and blessed us with the resulting dhvaya manthram

out of His infinite compassion for us.

 

" ThirumAl padham iraNDum saraN yena paRRi namm

PankayatthAL NaaTanai NaNNInOm " . We approached

the Lord of MahA Lakshmi and held on to His sacred feet

as the sole upAyam for our protection from SamsAric

afflictions and left the burden and fruits of that protection

unto Him.

 

We did this with a purpose : " nalam thihazh nAttil adimai

yellAm kOthu il uNartthiyudan kuRitthanam "

 

We recited the dhvaya manthram and reflected on its

profound meanings to be blessed with nithya kaimakryam

free of ahankAra mamakAra blemishes in the land of

endless bliss, His supreme abode.

 

75) The Meaning of our Lord's Charama slOkam

**************************************

This paasuram the 36th paasuram of AdhikAra

Sangraham and deals with the content of the 29th

chapter of SrImath Rahasya Thraya Saaram ,

Charama slOka adhikAram .

 

(Meaning ) : With a determined mind and limitless

compassion , Lord KrishNa blessed us with His

Charama slOkam to banish our sufferings as SamsAris ,

who do not have the capabilities and fitness to practise

the difficult-to-observe upAyams like Bhakthi yOgam

to gain Moksham. He blessed us the Charama slOkam with

great care using Arjuna as an excuse . His firm intention

has been to banish all the bundles of sins form those,

who surrender unto His holy feet and request His

protection. He assured His protection and asked us

not to worry anymore after performing Prapatthi to Him .

We as PrapannAs recite the charama slOkam , reflect on

its deep meanings and have our ajn~Anam destroyed,

sorrows banished and are free from any doubts about

the phalan of protection assured by our Lord .

 

The key passage in this Paasuram is : " KuRippudan mEvum

dharumangaL inRi akkOvalanAr aruL vAchahatthAl

maruL aRRanam " ( Being unfit and powerless to observe

the upAyams like Bhakthi yOgam that need enormous

discipline and single mindedness, we chose the easy-to-

practise upAyam revealed to us in His Charama slOkam,

which was blessed to us by our Lord out of His firm grace

and limitless dayA to destroy all of our past sins and those

accumulated consciously or otherwise during the post-prapatthi

stage in our lives .
