[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Dear Swamy Desika BhakthAs :

 

Let us start the study of 11 more Sahasra NaamAs of Swamy Desikan today

to complete the NaamAs relating to the rest of the ChillaRai Rahasyams .

 

759) ParAnkusAdhi nirvyAja-rakshaNOkthi virOdhagnE nama:

 

Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who removed the controversey

about Swamy NammAzhwAr's pasuram passages stating that

Bhagavan grants protection without any reason ( nirvyAjam)

to every one out of His abundant compassion .

 

EmperumAn is Svatantran . He can do what he wishes according to

His sankalpam . Similarly , He is filled with inherent mercy ( KaaruNyam) .

Inspite of these , He does not protect one and all without any cause .

He grants Moksham through the small act of Prapatthi , which is accomplished

in a trice . This is the Lord's disposition and all the Saasthrams agree on this .

If He grants Moksham without prapatthi in an independent manner to some ,

then He is exposed to the accusation that he has PakshapAdha dhOsham

( Partiality and arbitrariness) . If He does not grant moksham to others ,

he will be considered to be devoid of Mercy . All the Saashtrams dealing with

Prapatthi will then become meaningless.

 

In this context comes a question arising from Swamy NammAzhwAr's

statement : "veRithE aruL seyvAr" . The literal meaning is that the Lord

grants Moksham even if one does not do anything to deserve it . This leads to

the conclusion that there is no need for Prapatthi anushtAnam . This

will be inconsistent with SaasthrArTams . There is another Paasuram

passage of Swamy NammAzhwAr that says: " Ohr yeNNthAnum anRiyE

vanthu iyalamARu " ( I did not think about phalan even a bit and yet BhagavAn

granted the Phalans ). It also implies that the express act of Prapatthi is not needed .

 

Swamy resolves all these apparent contradictions and establishes that

the extended Paasuram passage of Swamy NammAzhwAr is : " veRithE

aruL seybhavar SEYVAARKATKKU " . BhagavAn has the rakshaNa

sankalpam to bless a select few ; for those , who does "veRithE aruL

seyvAr" . He becomes SiddhOpayan to those , who have performed (SEYTHAVAR)

Prapathti or Bhakthi yOgam and to them , He grants Moksham without

any other upAyam and becomes the SiddhOpAyan . Therefore , one

should not intrepret the AzhwAr Paasuram passage as saying that

no prapatthi is needed.Prapatthi is not the reason for Moksham

but is only a vyAjam . Now , there is no virOdham with Saasthrams

that establish Prapatthi as one of the two UpAyams for Moksham .

 

760) Rahasya Tatthvathrithaya chulakAsvAdhithAsrithAya nama:

 

Salutations to the AchAryan , who blessed his sishyAs with rasAnubhavam

through the creation of the two ChillaRai Rahasyams of Tatthva Thraya

ChuLakam amd Rahasya Thraya ChuLakam .

 

ChuLakam means the area of the folded inner palm . When the DevAs

recieved the chuLakam of amrutham from the Lord , they became deathless.

Similarly , Swamy Desikan churned the ocean of Tatthvams and

the three rahasyams to produce the nectar , the Chulakam measurement

of which , when consumed granted amarathvam ( Moksham )

to chEtanams . ChEtanams enjoyed these chuLakams with great

rasanai ( Connoseurship) .

 

761) abhaya-pradhAna saara spashta RaamAyaNAntharAya nama:

 

Salutations to that AchAryan , who made the inner meanings of

Srimath RaamAyaNam crystal clear .

 

The rahaya grantham of Abhaya PradhAna Saaram establishes

that it is the SaraNAgathy Vedam discovered by Sage VaalmIki .

It has ten chapters on SaraNAgathy starting with VibhIshaNa

SaraNAgathy . Swamy Desikan provided extensive commentariy

on Srimath RaamAyaNa slOkams to elaborate on SaraNAgathy

Tatthvam .

 

762) Srisa apachAra rasika VaishNav AnaadharOkthimathE nama:

 

Salutations to the AchAryan , who instructed us to stay away from

those VaishNavaas , who committ apachAram to BhagavAn . Even if

that VaishNavan is a Bhagavath bhakthan , when he committs apachAram

to the Lord and His adiyArs (BhAgavathAs) , ParamaikAnthis will

stay away from that kind of offender .

 

763) Srisa apachAra bhakthAnaadhara kshAmaNa kaalavidhE nama:

 

Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who knew about the time to seek

the pardon of the one who had committed apachArams to the Lord and

later corrected himself from such trepasses .

 

Swamy Desikan instructed us that ViashNavAs committing apachArams

to the Lord should be abandoned during the aparAdha dasai ( Duration of

committing such offenses). Once they regret and do PrAyascchittham , then

the ParamikAnthi will seek their pardon for ignoring them .

 

764) nyAsApEkshitha sarvArTa vyanjakaadhima kAvya vidhE nama:

 

Salutations to the AchAryan , who established that the Utthama

Kaavyam of SrImath RaamAyaNam reveals all the meanings needed

for comprehending and performing Prapatthi .

 

Swamy Desikan used examples like VibhIshaNa SaraNAgathy ,

ThrijaDai SaraNAgathy of RaamAyaNam et al to reveal that Sriman

NaarAyaNan is the Supreme Being , SaraNAgatha rakshaNam is

a dharmam , the limbs (angams) of SaraNAgathy , ananyOpAyathvam

( not seeking anyone except the Lord as the Rakshakan) . These are

all the meanings of SaraNAgathy found in Srimath RaamAyaNam .

 

765) SrimathkrupA PariNatha sOpAna padhavee priyAya nama:

 

Salutations to the AchAryan , who revealed to us the nine steps

leading to Moksham through his chillaRai rahasyam of Parama

Padha sOpAnam .

 

These nine steps are : (1) VivEkam (clear Jn~Anam)

(2) NirvEdham ( Sorrow over one's state in SamsAram)

(3) Virakthi ( Detatchment from all phalans except Moksham)

(4) Bheethi ( fear over the Phalans arising from one's karmas)

(5)PrasAdhanam ( Gaining the Lord's grace and seeking Him as AasrayaNam )

(6) UthkramaNam ( The exit of the Muktha Jeevan from the body)

(7) ArchirAdhi Maargam ( Travel by the path of light to Vaikuntam)

(8) Dhivya dEsa PrApthi ( crossing the river VirajA , arriving at

Parama Padham and worshipping the Lord there )

(9) PrApthi( Enjoyment of ParipoorNa BrahmAnandham there ).

 

766) archirAdhi mahAmArga virOdha Samana priyAya nama:

 

Salutations to the AchAryan , who reconciled the different

statements by PramANams about the way stations of the path

of light (archirAdhi mArgam). Swamy Desikan provided parihArams

to these virOdhams and established correctly the progressive

way stations as the Muktha Jeevan travels via the path of light

to Sri Vaikuntam .

 

767) MadhavAthmaja bhUpArTa tatthvasandhEsa kArakAya nama:

 

Salutations to the merciful AchAryan , who created the chillaRai

rahasyam of Tatthva SandhEsam for the pleasure of the son of

king Maadhavan ( Sarvaj~na Singappan of Venkata Giri kingdom ,

who was Swamy Desikan's dear sishyan). The Svaroopam and

the SvabhAvam of the three Tatthvams ( ChEtanam , achEtanam

and Iswaran ) are explained in this rahasyam by Swamy Desikan .

 

768) rahasya sandhEsa kruthipreetha Maadhav-puthrakAya nama :

 

Salutations to the AchAryan , who was pleased to create the additional

chillaRai rahasyam of "Rahasya SandhEsam " at the request of

his sishyan , Singappan , the son of king Madhavan.

 

Here , Swamy gives the essence of the three rahasyams and

ends the Sri Sookthi with an instruction to reflect on the MahA

Vaakyam of " Aham aathmA ".
