CD ROM on Pancha SamskArams & SaraNAgathy by Srimath Azhagiya Singar

[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Dear Sri VaishNavAs :

 

It is with great pleasure adiyEn is inviting Your attention to

the recent release of a divine discourse on Pancha SamskAram

and SaraNAgathy by HH SrimathE SrI Lakshminrisimha

Dhivya PaadhukA Sevaka SrivaNN SaThakOpa Sri Narayana

Yatheendhra MahA Desikan , the Prakrutham Jeeyar of

AhObila Matam . This is a 43 minute long CD ROM that

is exemplary in the breadth of coverage of these two

most important samskArams that are " musts" in the life of

a Sri VaishNavan .

 

PramANams from Sruthi , Dhivya Prabhandham , Smrithis ,

PurANam and RakshA granthams of AchAryAs are used abundantly

by Srimath Azhagiya Singar to help us gain a clear understanding

of the fine points about these two vital samskArams .

 

The deep thoughts housed in this audio CD ROM with

revealing examples form daily life makes it easy to grasp

the essence of these two SamskArams and the central role they

play in a Sri VaishNava's life .

 

Out of His infinite compassion for us all , Srimath Azahgiya singar has

squeezed in the time needed for this anugraha BhAshaNam by cutting

short His few hours of daily nidhrA yogam . We are the beneficiaries .

This is a CD ROM that all houses should have as a reference material.

 

The key points developed by SrImath Azhagiya Singar in this CD ROM are :

 

(1) Recieving Pancha SamskAram ( from an AchAryan ) alone confers

VaishNavathvam on any one ; just being born in a VaishNava family

does not make one a VaishNavan . The completion of the Pancha SamskAram

makes one a VaishNavan and equips him with the prequisite for gaining

yOgyathai for performing Bhagavath AarAdhanam . Srimath Azhagiya

Singar gave the lakshaNams of a ParamaikAnthi and pointed out

that the Pancha samskAram is a hethu for developing ParamaikAnthi

status among VaishNavAs .

 

(2) Moksham can not however be gained through Pancha SamskAram ,

although it confers on one VaishNavathvam and qualifies him

to perform Bhagavath AarAdhanam . Moksham can be gained only

through SaraNAgathy that has been practised by AzhwArs and all of

our PoorvAchAryAs . AchArya RaamAnujA has performed SaraNAgathy

before the dhivya dampathis to show us the way in which SaraNAgathi

with its five angams should be performed through His SaraNAgathy Gadhyam .

Seshathva Jn~Anam alone is not sufficent for gaining Moksham . SaraNAgathy

is an absolutely essential samskAram for a Mumukshu .

 

Srimath Azhagiya Singar concludes this important CD ROM with four

appeals : (1) Nithya KarmAs like SandhyA Vandhanam should be done

without fail (2) ParAnna Niyamam ( Observing restrictions on eating anywhere

and every where ) should be maintained (3) ParamaikAnthithvam

should be developed ( Utter Faith in Lord alone as the sole upAyam

and not asking anything from Him except the boon of Kaimkaryam to Him ) .

(4) Completing the two vital samskArams of SamAsrayaNam ( Pancha

SamskAram) and SaraNAgathy at the sacred feet of a SadAchAryan

and maintaining the life of a Parapannan in the post-prapatthi period .

 

This CD ROM can be obtained from Ahobila Matam North America soon

along with the other CD ROM released at Kaanchipuram today on RaamAnuja

Vaibhavam . Latter was recorded at Melkote during the AchArya RaamAnuja

Jayanthi celebration there by Srimath Azhagiya Singar .

 

Please send adiyEn a note so that adiyEn can help you acquire

these two audio CD ROMs for Your family's home libraries .
