SrI:
 
Swamy Desika BhakthAs :
 
The series of Postings sofar covered 510 Sahasra NaamAs
out of the 1008 . We are just half way across . 498 NaamAs
remain to be covered .They fall in these 4 large subject categories :
 
1. Satha DhUshaNi : NaamAs 102-168 (67 NaamAs)
 
2. Tatthva Muktha KalApam : NamAs 206-399 ( 194 NaamAs)
 
3.  BhAshyams  & PaancharAthra RakshA : 493-680 ( 188 NaamAs)
 
4. ChillaRai RahasyangaL : 721-769 ( 49 NaamAs)  
 
Since the first two subject categories are terse ,
we will start with item 3 & 4 and cover 237 NaamAs
first before we go on to Satha dhUshaNi and
Tatthva Muktha  KalApam .
 
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 .
