Chillarai RahasyangaL (
NaamAs 721-769)
******************************************************
The three Rahasyams ( Moola Manthram ,
Dhvayam and
Charama SlOkam ) and their meanings
have to be understood
from AchAryan .The Sri Sookthis
expaining the Manthrams and
the meanings of
the ManthrAs are known
as Rahasya granthams .
The biggest and most profound Rahasya
Grantham blessed to us
by Swamy Desikan is known as " Srimath
Rahasya Thraya Saaram ".
out of His ripe Jn~Anam , Swamy Desikan
created Srimath Rahasya
Thraya Saaram (SRTS) late in His
life . In this SRTS , Swamy Desikan
blessed us with the entire range of
meanings of the three rahsyams.
Prior to the composition of SRTS ,
Swamy Desikan composed smaller
Sri Sookthis on the three rahasyams
that would meet the needs of
different adhikAris . Swamy Desikan
provided rare insights into
the meanings of the three rahasyamas at
different levels for easy
absorption .These Sri Sookthis are
collectively known as
ChillaRai Rahasyams
.
Here are the Desika Sahasra Naamams
relating to ChillaRai Rahasyams.
Let us start with the first of the
ChillaRai Rahasyams: SampradhAya
Parisuddhi :
(721) SampradhAya Parisuddhi sTApithaachArya sathpaTAya nama:
(Meaning) : Salutations
to Swamy Desikan, who established through
SampradhAya Parisuddhi
that the auspicious way (SampradhAyam )
of our AchAryAs starting
from the Omniscient Lord to prakrutham
AchAryAs is the best way
to understand correctly the VedAntha arthams .
"SamprAdhyA Parisuddhi "
is a small chillaRai Rahasyam , where
Swamy Desikan establishes
resoundingly that our AchArya SampradhAyam
starting from Sriman
NaarAyaNan to present day AchAryAs is pure and is
free from any blemishes .
Swamy clears all the doubts that might arise in
one's mind on this matter
. Hence this chillaRai rahasyam was named
"SampradhAya Parisuddhi "
.
Thirukkudanthai Desikan
constructed this NaamA from Swamy Desikan's
own
statement
: " Aasarvajn~Ath asmathAchArya pankthE aprathyUham
saTpadham sthApayanthee " .
(722) SathsampradhAya - rahitha SaasthrAnaadhara BhOdhakAya
nama:
(Meaning) : Salutations
to Swamy Desikan , who instructed us that we
should
not accept the SaasthrAs
that did not originate from Sath-sampradhAyam .
Vedams and PurANams inform us that the
VedAnthic meanings should be
understood only through SathAchArya
SampradhAyam . One should not
learn these SaasthrAs by themselves
(self-taught mode ) and they have to be
learnt only from an AchAryan belonging
to Sat h-SampradhAyam . If some one
tries to teach himself , he can not
comprehend the correct meanings . Even if
that person is a genius and can
understand the meanings correctly ,
that knowledge will not benefit him .
There will be no clarity in that Jn~Anam
obtained in this way . It will not
resurrect him from SamsAram . Therefore ,
Swamy Desikan instructs us that
the plain Saasthram without the backing of
Sath-SampradhAyam should be discareded
.He established that the Saasthra
Jn~Anam available to us through the
SadAchArya ParamparA alone is
superior .
(723) SacchAsthra
moolAnya sampradhAyaanAdhara BhOdhakAya nama:
(Meaning) : Salutations
to Swamy Desikan , who taught us that we should
not relate to any
sampradhAyam other than the
Sath-SampradhAyam .
Swamy Desikan advocated the view that
VedAntha arthams should be learnt
only with the help of Sath SampradhAyam .
Some people may unite and create
a new sampradhAyam without the backing of Bhagavath Saasthrams
or those
which are antithetical
to those Saasthrams . Those
kinds of new sampradhAyams
will have the defects
of misintrepretations of
Saasthrams and the dhOsham of
deciet to mislead
aasthikAs . Therefore these new
sampradhAyams outside of
the Sath SampradhAyam
should be avoided .On
matters relating to Iswaran
and Moksham , it is not
possible for your sensory organs
to experience them .
On these matters ,
Saasthrams alone are our
pramANams (valid means of
knowledge)
. Sath SampradhAyam is
rooted in Bhagavath Saastrhrams
and hence Iswaran MOksham and other related concepts can not be
understood through other SampradhAyams .
