SlOkam 46/Year 46/PareetApi

laghum muktimArgam pradhAy prahrsha:

 

(Meaning): Those who are suffering from the twists and turns of kAmam( Vishaya sukham) do not seek the way to rid themselves of their afflictions(pareetApam). Swamy Desikan blessed them with a way to overcome these sufferings and to gain Saanti (peace) as a result.

 

SlOkam47/Year 47/PramAthi

AnandhanilayAnandha santOhO VenaktESwara:

darSanAnandha sampullanayanO gururAgata:

 

(Meaning): Lord VenkatESa ,the embodiment of Anandham (Bliss-

principle) standing under the Anandha nilaya vimAnam incarnated with joy in

His face as Swamy Desikan.

 

Taittireeya Upanishad's Aanandha MeemAmsA has to be reflected here .

Additional passages from Anandavalli section are to be recalled for reflection: Yadhvai tathsukrutam ,rasO vai sa: , rasam heyvAyam laBdhvaa Aanandhee bhavati " (That which is the Creator itself is verily Bliss . One becomes possessed with bliss gaining this "Rasa").

 

SlOkam 49/Year 49/Raakshasa

Jaagradheeha nigamAnta gurou mE

bhaktimEva kalayEn natu mOhAth

 

(Meaning): Any human being who does not show devotion to Swamy Desikan is a veritable Raakshasan( demon).NigamAnta MahA Desikan incarnated to protect the VedAs in this world with rigor.

 

Bhagavd Gita Chapter 16 (The Divine and the Demonic types) have to be reflected here .Swamy Desikan incarnated to restore Bhagavath Saastrams . Hre had a divine destiny

( Dhaiveem sampadham).He incarnated to help men of lost souls and feeble understanding ( nashtAtmanO alpa buddhya: ). They are " AasApAsa satair

BhaddhA:" ( bound by hundreds of fetters of hopes) and given over to desire and anger ( Kaama krOdha ParAyaNA:). These demonic types abandon the injunctions of the SaastrAs

laid down by the Lord.Swamy Desikan incarnated to remind one of the Lord's command to have SaastrAs as one's compass for determining what should be done and what should be avoided and He practised this Saaastraic way of life for our benefit and uplifted us from our tendency to be RaakshasAs.
