Dear BhakthAs of Swamy Desikan :

 

909) (PraNavam ) SadAchAryOpadEsaikAdhikAri

Jn~Apana kshamAya nama:

 

(Meaning):Salutations to that AchAryan , who can identify

those, who are fit for SadAchArya UpadEsams (adhikAris) .

 

(Comments) :A SadAchAryan is free from seeking Fame (KhyAthi),

gain ( laabham) , self-adoration ( Poojaa) .He is overwhelmed by

KaaruNyam for the sishyan and blesses the sishyan with

UpadEsams on Tatthva-Hitha-PurushArTams and lets

the sishyanm gain SathsamprahAya siddhi . That SadAchAryan

creates clear Jn~Anam in the sishyan and inculcates in him

the knowledge about the glories of the UpAyams like

SaraNAgathy and , Bhakthi yOgam .

 

It is not easy to gain Saashtra Jn~Anam. It can be confusing if

one does not have the blessings of a SadAchAryan , who can

explain to them at the right amount of elaboration befitting

their needs and capability to absorb these doctrines . This is

one of the two categories of sishyAs among those , who seek

SathsampradhAya Siddhi . They are easily confused by the incoorect

but profound sounding debates of Kevala Vaadhis ( NaasthikAs , who

deny the Existence of the Lord , who deny BhagavAn's vibhUthis

( Iswaryams) as non-existent ( Maayaa, Soonyam) and unite

Iswaran with Jeevan as one and the same) .

 

910) (PraNavam) SattharkOpadEsAdhikAri vyAkruthi

kOvidhAya Nama:

 

(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who is capable of instructing

those with a sharp knowledge on tarkam about SathsampradhAya Siddhi

with upadesams containing intricate tarka pramANams (logic) .

 

(Comments) : Those , who may be confused easily with high power logic

recieve upadEsam form SadAchAryan with Sameecheena Yukthis . On the other

hand , those AasthikAs , who are blessed with Tarka Saashtra Jn~Anam

recieve upadEsams at a more intellectual level since they can handle it

and are not confused by Kevala Vaadhis. Such sishyAs develop

clear knowledge and help others gain such traditional and correct

Jn~Anam . This is the second type of sishya vargam . Swamy Desikan

was capable of blessing both the categories of SishyAs with

His versatile power of UpadEsam .

 

911) (PraNavam) vyAjAnapEksha BhagavathrakshakathvOkthi

vaarakAya Nama:

 

(Meaning ):Salutaions to that AchAryan , Swamy Desikan , who refuted

the position that the Lord will protect one that has not completed

the upAyams such as Prapatthi or Bhakthi yOgam .

 

(Comments) : Our SampradhAyam opposes the view that holds BhagavAn ,

the SiddhOpAyan , granting Moksham even if they do not seek it (

avyAjam ).

They hold the view that Bhagavaan grants Moksham without any effort

or VyAjam like Prapathti initiative on our part . Swamy Desikan is opposed

to

this point of view . If BHagavaan grants Moksham to one and all

without any reason due to His overflowing , causeless compassion ,

then He runs the risk of possessing two dhOshams . That is why it is held

that

He expects an apEksha ( desire for seeking His protection ) : "

RakshApEkshAm

apEkshathE " . The two dhOshams of Vaishamyam and of NairgruNyam are

avoided by the Lord by responding to an appeal for protection instead of

responding to all kinds of Jeevans irrespective of their interest or

otherwise.

The accusations that the Lord is partial ( PakshapAthi ) and Heartless

( NairgruNyam ) are removed , when the Lord responds to a legitimate appeal

for RakshA by the erred Jeevan . Details on the doctrine are covered in

the 916th NaamA .

 

912) (PraNavam) SrImath svAtantrya kAruNyOpayOga

vyAkruthi kshamAya Nama:

 

(Meaning ): Salutations to that ParamAchAryan , who was skilled

at intrepreting the independence (Svatantram) and compassion/Dayaa

( KaaruNyam ) of the Lord and the benefits accruing to the Jeevans from

those two auspicious attributes .

 

(Comments ) : SvAtantryam and KaaruNyam are two intrinsic, dominant

guNams of the Lord and His consort (SvAbhAvikam ). Through His

SvAtantryam , He grants SamsAram to Jeevans and enjoys the Leelaa

rasam . To avoid Vaishmya dhOsham ( Happiness for few and dukkham

for others) , He grants the Phalans based solely on our KarmAs .

 

He grants Moksham to some out of His KakaruNyam . To avoid

Vaishmyam here ( Partiality and arbitrariness ) , He is guided by

UpAya VisEshams ( Performance of Prapatthi , the observance of

Bhakthi yOgam ) and grants them Moksham to those select few .

 

SvAtantryam and KaaruNyam are the fundamental (PradhAna)

reasons ( KaaraNangaL) . Prapatthi and Bhakthi yOgam are just

ruses ( vyAjams) for gaining Moksha SaamrAjyam .

 

Both KaruNai and SvAtantryam have to be together in BhagavAn ,

for protecting the Jeevans . If He has no KaruNai , He can cause

harm by being indifferent or heartless. If He has no SvAtantryam,

He will be incapable of coming to our rescue by Himself. When both

the GuNams are together , He can do what He wishes out of

His SvAtantryam and remove the sorrows of the Jeevans

because of His KaaruNyam . The importance of KaruNai as

the Mistress of all GuNams (GuNa Saarvabhoumi) has been covered

at length earlier in the Summary section of SiddhOpAya

sOdhanAdhikAram .
