SrI:

Dear BhakthAs of Lord RanganAtha:

adiyEn will  continue with the 872nd to 874th Sahasra
Naamams today, which will cover  the 13th , 14th and
the 15th chapters of  Srimath Rahasya Thraya Saaram
( Krutha KruthyAdhvAnusandhAna ,  SvanishtAbhijn~Ana
and Utthara KruthyAdhikArams ) .

(872) (PraNavam) SahEthu krutha-kruthyathva anusandhaana
           visAradhAya nama:

(Meaning ): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who had
the knowledge and capabilities to observe the duties of
krutha-kruthyan (One who has completed the anushtAnam of Prapatthi) along
with the reasons for such observances .

This nAmA is about  the activities of one who has completed
the Prapatthi anushtAnam as prescribed by the SaasthrAs
and how he conducts himself and the reasons for such
course of conduct .

He has completed now the once-to-be peformed Prapatthi
for Moksham . There is nothing else he has to do from here on
to gain Moksham. Bhagavaan will take care of his anthima smruthi
and Brahma Naadi pravEsam at the time of the falling of the body.
Since Bhagavaan Himself has said "Maa Sucha " ( do not have
any sorrow or fear ) , he stays in a state of freedom from fear.

He has no doubts about Moksham and he does not seek
any thing else , since the Lord has assured him "MokshayishyAmi".
He recieves joy in contemplating over the anticipated Moksham
and stays free of fear and worry. He continues with nithya-
naimitthika karmAs since they are not UpAyams but PurushArTams.
When performing these karmAs , if he has to invoke the names of
ithara dEvathAs , which are subordinate to the Lord , he recognizes
that their names also refer to the Lord ,who is their antharyAmi and
 empowerer.  He does not acquire therefore any dhOshams.
He performs Bhagavath-BhAgavatha-AchArya Kaimkaryams
and stays like a Mukthan .

This krutha kruthyan is the one , who regretted his lowly
state before performing Prapatthi and has shifted his burden
of protection to the Lord  lives now without fear , sins or doubts .  AzhwAr
( ThoNDaradippodi in Thirumalai) has decribed such krutha-kruthyAs as "
kaampRattalai siraitthu , unn kadaittalai irunthu vaazhum sObhar ".

All these topics are covered in Krutha KruthyAdhikAram ,
the 13th chapter of SRTS of Swamy  Desikan summarized by
this naamaa .

873) (PraNavam) Sva svarUpOpAya phala nishtaa-thraya vivEkavathE nama:

(Meaning ) Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who understood the differences
between the three nishtais ( Firmly understood state of Jn~Anams ) and
recognized the acquisition of each of the three ( Svaroopa , UpAya and
Phala nishtais)  by him clearly .

(Comments ) This Naamaa deals with the realization by prapannan
about the maturation of his nishtais through the experience of
the appearance of signicant recognizable lakshaNams.

The Marks for Svaroopa Nishtai are: (1) Not to be perturbed , when others
insult him (2) having compassion for the one , who acquires his sins
(3) showing gratitude to those , who point out the prapannan's mistakes
(4) no change of heart at people who insult him (5) feeling happy over
the dimunition of his sins .

The marks of UpAya nishtai : (1) thinking that SarvEswaran is the sole
refuge (2) Meeting death as a welcome event (3) feeling consoled
at times of crisis by believing that the Lord is the sole rakshakan
(4) not seeking any other upAyam for Moksham after Bhara NyAsam .
(5) Having the conviction that the good and the bad are Bhagavath
sankalpam and responsibility .

The Marks of Phala or PurushArTa nishtai are: (1) Enjoy the BhOgams
coming in one's path , if they are permitted by the SaasthrAs (2) developing
the ruchi for Bhagavath kaimkaryam and (3) impatience to gain Bhagavath
anubhavam .

All of these points are covered in the 14th chapter of SRTS
( SvanishtAbhijn~AdhikAram) .

874) (PraNavam ) Prapatthyutthara karthavya kruthya nirNaya
          kOvidhAya nama:

(Meaning ): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who had the intellectual power
to establish the duties of a Prapannan in the post-prapatthi period.

(Comments) This Naamaa pertains to the 15th chapter of SRTS
named Utthara kruthyAdhikAram . A Prapannan after Prapatthi
can not lead an erratic life. He has to lead a virtous life that is
a model for others to follow. He has to spend his time on earth
after prapatthi in a manner consistent with his svaroopam as
the Sesha BhUthan to the Lord at all times. The things to do are:

(1) Gain clarity from AchArya UpadEsams to enhance the desire
for Bhagavath anubhavam .

(2) Get closer to ParamaikAnthis and emulate them to gain
blemishless anushtAnams.

(3)Avoid Bhaagavatha apachAram at any cost ; avoid insulting
others or get giddy over the thought that his anushtAnam or Jn~Anam
is superior to others .

(4) Comfort oneself with gaining of  knowledge about the Jn~Anam
on the avathAra rahasyams of the Lord and feel repentent over previous times
(before Prapatthi) for losing the wealth of Kaimkaryam to the Lord & His
AchAryAs .

(5) Control one's indhriyams and direct them in paths recommended by
Bhagavath Saasthrams.

(6) Enhance one's AchArya Bhakthi and anubhavam of ArchA Moorthys
at dhivya dEsams and others.

(7) Through Manas , Speech and body avoid things to be avoided
( free oneself from thoughts on Vishaya sukhams ,avoid Boasting and
stay away from BhAgavata apachAram ) and engage in permitted activities
( Reflecting on the upakArams done by the AchAryan , repeatedly
reciting dhvaya manhtram and engaging in Kaimkaryams to
AchAryAs and BhAgavathAs).
