SrI :
 
Dear BhakthAs :
 
Through the 28 Swamy Desika Sahasra NaamAs , Thirukkudanathai Andavan has
covered the following  5 chapters of Srimath Rahasya Thraya Saaram :
 
1) AparAdha ParihAra AdhikAram--- 18th AdhikAram
2) SthAna VisEsha AdhikAram---- --- 19th AdhikAram
3) NiryANa AdhikAram ------------------- 20th AdhikAram
4) Gathi VisEsha / Gathi ChinthanAdhikAram------------ 21st AdhikAram
5) ParipoorNa BrahmAnubhava AdhikAram -- 22nd AdhikAram
 
Here are the Summaries of the FIVE  chapters covered in the last
two postings (NaamAs 881-908) :
 
1) AparAdha ParihAra adikaram : This chapter deals with the ways 
in which a Prapannan in the Post-Prapatthi period can destroy 
the  sins accumulated in a conscious manner .
 
There are two kinds of sins that accumulate. One accumulates unconsciously 
and the other is the one that is accumulated deliberately . For the Prapannan , who
never forgets that he is the Seshan ( Servant ) of the Lord and performs kaimkaryams
for the Lord , the sins acquired without consciousness wont stick. If the Prapannan 
engages in acts deliberately that result in sins , then he has to regret for it and 
perform the appropriate prAyschittham , then those sins will also be destroyed . That
PrAyascchittham is in the form of another Prapatthi (not for Moksham but for removal of
the sins ) . 
 
When one who deliberately engages in accumulating sins and does not perform
the needed PrAyascchittham , he or she experiences sufferings in this life itself .
He is however saved from Naraka anubhavam by PerumAl's forndness for the Prapannan 
driven by  his compassion . Thus Prapannan gets a light punishment and is saved from
Narakam .
 
Prapannan in the post-Prapatthi period has to guard against the biggest of
the apachArams : BhAgavathApachAram or wilful offences to BhagavAn's dear ones.
Lord will not fulfill Prapatthi for those , who commit such Bhagavatha apachAram.
PrAyascchittham is essential in such cases to avoid the anger (nigraham) of the Lord .
 
The sins acquired deliberately after Prapatthi are destroyed in this way :
The repentance over committing such sinful deeds consciously destroys
one fourth of the Paapams. Another quarter is destroyed by not engaging in
such sinful acts . The attempt to perform PrAyascchittham takes care of another
quarter of the sins and the completion of the PrAyascchittham eliminates
the remainig fourth measure of sins. Thus for a Prapannan , Narakam or rebirth
does not happen thru the power of the Prapatthi anushtAnam .
 
(2) SthAna VisEshAdhikAram: This chapter discusses the preferred
places of residence for the Prapannan during the post-prapatthi period
( until the end of his earthly life ).
 
The ParamaikAnthi Prapannan should seek and reside in a place during his
post-prapatthi period for performing the blemishless kaimkaryams to BhagavAn
and His BhAgavathAs . That should be a place , where his VarNAsrama dharmams
can be practised with comfort . Among such places , the one populated by
the BhagavathAs is the best . If it also happens to be a place , where AzhwArs
have performed MangaLAsAsanam , that is even better.
 
(3) NiryANa adhikAram: This chapter deals with the way in which
the Muktha Jeevan leaves the physical body at the time of death.
 
When the time comes for the Prapannan to cast his physical body aside , our
merciful Lord , who is pleased with the austere way in which the Prapannan
has conducted himself during the post-prapatthi period creates the occasion
for the Jeevan to exit form the body . Our Lord unites the ten indhriyams
with the mind; He joins then the mind with the PrANa Vaayu.That PrANa Vaayu
is next united with the Jeevan . Thereafter , our Lord blends the Jeevan with
the Pancha BhUthams and comforts the jeevan from the strain caused by
the previous efforts by embracing the jeevan to remove that fatigue.
This procedure is common to all Jeevans be it a Prapanna Jeevan or not .
Now , the Lord steers the Prapanna  Jeevan away from the 100 naadis that will
lead the other Jeevans to Svargam or Narakam . Our Lord steers the Prapanna
Jeevan in the 101st Naadi ( the Special Moordhanya Naadi ) and makes it leave
the body thereafter via Brahma Randhram to start its journey through the path of
light (ArchirAdhi Maargam ) to Sri Vaikuntam . There is no need for anthima smruthi
( last minute reflection on the Lord ) for a Prapannan . Only those , who have practised
Bhakthi Yogam to gain moksham have this requirement . Prapannan does not also need to
choose his time of exit from this world such as day , Sukla Paksham , UttharAyaNam et al
to gain Moksham . The power of Prapatthi will permit him to ascend to Moksham
at any time or place .
 
(4) Gathi VisEsha AdhikAram: This chapter explains the unique  experiences
of the Muktha Jeevan on its way to Sri Vaikuntam via the ArchirAdhi mArgam.
 
The Muktha Jeevan that has entered the ArchirAdhi maargam is greeted by various
devathais ( Agni Devathai , the Devathai for the Day , Sukla Paksha devathai, Sooryan ,
Chandran , Lightning devathai ,VaruNan , Indhran and PrajApathy successively ) .
The Jeevan now arrives at the end of Prakruthy MaNDalam ( the bank of Viraja river
that divides Prakruthy Mandalam from Sri Vaikuntam) and leaves its Sookshma sareeram
there . The Lord now empowers the Muktha Jeevan to cross the Virajaa river and
reach the other bank . Here , the Jeevan gains Suddha Sathva Maya sareeram . 
The Jeevan travels next to the divine pond (Irammadheeyam) prior to arriving
at the shade of the asvattha tree known as Somasavanam . There 500 divine
damsels are waiting to offer the Jeevan  fragrant powders , lovely clothings and
jewelery to wear . After gaining dhivya gandham , dhivya rasam and dhivya tEjas ,
the jeevan is welcomesd by the Nithya Sooris ( the eternally liberated Jeevans)
and recieves  special upachArams . Next the jeevan arrives at the gem-bedecked
court of the Lord resting on AadhisEshan . The Jevan is overwhelmed at the darsanam
of the Lord and climbs the throne of AadhisEshan to sit on the lap of the Lord and
is embraced by Him . The Jeevan now gains his natural svaroopam and descends
down to join the assembly of Muktha Jeevans and Nithya Sooris to perform
blemishless kaimkaryam for the Lord . The Jeevan pleases the Lord and the Lord
in turn is delighted with the services of the Muktha Jeevan . After Prapatthi ,
the Prapanna Jeevan should enjoy reflecting on this gathi visEsham to be
experienced  in Sri Vaikuntam at the end of his earthly life. 
 
5) ParipoorNa BrahmAnubhavAdhikAram : This chapter deals with
the complete ( inexhaustible )  way in which the Muktha Jeevan
enjoys Sri Vaikunta Naathan in Parama Padham .
 
The Muktha Jeevan arrives in Sri Vaikuntam and enjoys the Lord there in
all states , times and places .It enjoys His auspicious attributes , Iswaryam
and ThirumEni and delights in the  performance of  uninterrupted , blemishless
Kaimkaryams to the Lord. It never  returns to the Karma BhUmi since all its karmAs
( PuNyams and Paapams ) have been exhausted . Even if it comes for a purpose
on the Lord's command , its Jn~Anam does not diminish. Its ParipoorNa Bhagavath
anubhavam does not shrink either. In the enjoyment of the bliss , there is no difference
between BhagavAn , the Nithyars and the Muktha Jeevans . Among the three , ONLY
BhagavAn has the power to create and rule the world . He alone has the power to be
the meaning of all the words, being the object of revelation by the VedAs , being
the object of UpAsanai by the Jeevans , having the exclusive power to grant Moksham ,
being every where in a pervasive state (Vibhu) and being always with MahA Lakshmi .  
 
With ParipoorNa BrahmAnandhAdhikAram , the ArthAnusAsana section
of Srimath Rahasya Thraya Saaram (SRT) is completed . We will now start
the study of SthreekaraNa Bhaagam of SRT ( Chapters 23 to 26 ).

P.S : We are indebted to Swamy  Desikan for His UpadEsams 
through the 32 chapters of His Magnum Opus , Srimath Rajasya 
Thraya Saaram . The least we can do for Him to show our gratitude 
is to help with the continuation of Nithya AarAdhanam for Him 
at His avathAra Sthalam of Thoopul. Each day of AarAdhanam
requires Rs.1,500 or 36 U.S Dollars . Please select a particular day of 
interest to you so that you can sponsor that day's aarAdhanam on 
behalf of your family . Please  contact me for details on how you can 
send the funds to India for this noble purpose . Thank you .
