  SrI:

  Dear BhakthAs of Swamy  Desikan :

  Today , we will study Swamy  Desikan's criticism  of
  Yoga Matham .

  191)     Refutation of Yoga Matham
  *****************************
  thAvib-bhuvnangaL thALiNai soottiya Tanthai unthip-
  poovinil piRakkinum bhUthangaL yellAm puNartthidinum
  naavil pirivinRi nAmangai vaazhinum nAnmaRayil
  bhAvithathu anRi uraippathu pARum padhartthiraLE

  (meaning): Yoga Matham was promulgated by Chathurmukha
  BrahmA, who is the first-born son of SrIman NaarAyaNan
  born in the Lotus arising from the navel of the Lord .  Even if
  Brahma were to be born as the son of SarvEswaran and given
  the boon of creating the world and being the husband of Saraswathi,
  his doctrines linked to Yoga Matham are fruitless husks without
  any substance.

  192) Yoga Matham: Variations in Tatthva-Hitha-PurushArTams
  *************************************************
  KaaraNanAi ulahu aLikkum KaNNan tEsaik-
     kaNNAdi nizhal pOlak-kANNkayAlum
  DhAraNayin mudivAna samAthi tannait-
     tanakkERRum viLakkenRu tanikkaiyAlum
  kAraNamAm athu tanakku payanAm seevan
     kai valiya nilai yenRu kaNikkayAlum
  kOraNiyin kOlamenak-kuRikkalAhum
     kOkanahatthu  ayan kooRum samayak-kURRE

  (meaning): In Yoga Matham , the tatthva Thrayams of
  Prakruthi, Jeevan and Iswaran are accepted . This matham
  states that Iswaran's anantha kalyANa guNams established
  by the VedAs  are not natural . The image that one sees in
  the mirror is due to the real object standing across it . Similarly,
  in the mirror of Lord , the reason for the images of the GuNams
  to appear is because of their links to chethanams and achEthanams
  with true guNams. Yoga Matham unfortunately emphasizes Jeevan's
  SaakshAthkAram over BhagavAn's SaakshAthkAram. In other words ,
  Yoga Matham takes the position that Kaivalyam (Jeeva SaakshAthkAram )
  is the desirable end result of Bhakthi Yogam and not Bhagavathanubhavam
  in MOksha dasai. The enjoyment of Jeevan without admixture of achEthanam
  is the central doctrine of Yoga Matham and is totally the opposite
 position  of  VisishtAdhvaitha Darsanam . Thus Yoga Matham is
diametrically opposite in  Tatthvam , Hitham and PurushArTam from
the VisishtAdhvaitha Darsanam and is in conflict with Veda PramANams ,
while declaring to believe in Vedic doctrines. This matham is a crowd
pleaser
and is like the dance of the buffon.

  Additional Notes: Swamy  Desikan condemns this Matham and describes
  his approach as ViruddhAviruddhaamsa VibhAgam .  Viruddham means
  conflict (VirOdham ) . Brahma Is the direct son of the Lord and
  the husband of the goddess of Learning , Saraswathi Devi . He knows
  the meanings of the four Vedams that he recites thanks to the anugraham
  of his Father. Inspite of all these pluses , he imagines things which are
  not   embraced by the VedAs and creates the Yoga Matham with strange
  doctrines as though he (Brahma) is engaged in an amusing dance for fools.

  Yoga Matham hints at Iswara Svaroopam , hides it and engages in
  the enjoyment of JeevAthma Svaroopam (JeevAthma Kaivalyam ) ,
  which is Veda Viruddham . Our Lord is Sarva Vidha KaaraNan
  ( reason for Creation , Sustenance and dissolution of the Universe).
  His Iswaryam is real and the Yoga Matham depicts that real
  Iswaryam like it is an image in the mirror.The author of Brahma
  Soothrams says for all these reasons that Yoga Matham has
  to be cast aside ( yEthEna yOga: prathyuktha: ) .He says that
  Yoga Matham has to be rejected like NirIswara Saankhya Matham.
