SrI:
Dear BhakthAs of Lord PaarTasArathy :
Today , we will study the TENTH Chapter of
SrImath Bhagvath GeethA .This chapter has
42 slOkams . This chapter is about the manifestation
of the Divine glories of the Lord .
AchArya RaamAnujA summarizes the purport of
the Tenth Chapter this way : Having taught Bhakthi
yOgA in the ninth chapter , Our Lord wanted to induce
such Bhakthi and sustain it in Arjuna. Hence , He taught
Arjuna further about His anantha klayANa guNams
( "multitudes of auspicious attributes ") and that His
rulership over the universe (soverignity ) is uncontested
and without any match.The Lord revealed further that
the Universe is ruled by His will and it serves as His
Sareeram and Himself residing inside it as its indweller
(antharyAmi).
For creating Bhakthi for Him in those who did not
have it before and for growing the Bhakthi of those
who already have it , Bhagavan revealed that He has
limitless auspicous attributes and that Svaroopa ,
Sthithi and pravrutthi of all created beings are under
His sole control. This is the message of the Tenth Chapter.
Swamy Desikan's summary of the 10th chapter
*************************************************
yellaillAtha tann seelamAm innamuthakkadalum
yellaillAtha vibhUthi yelAm tanathu Aanamyum
yellayil bhatthi tanai yezhuvikkat-thiruvaruLAl
yellayil Isan iyambinan Indhiran MainthanukkE
-- 13 the Paasuram of GeethArtha Sangraham
Meaning of the First line of the Paasuram :
*********************************************
" Yellai illAtha tann seelamAm innamudhak- kadalum "
Our Lord is the indweller of all beings ; He is totally
devoid of any dhOshams . He is the abode of all
auspicious attributes ; He rules all from His position
as the indweller. He is thus different in every way from
the sentients and the insentients. Those who understand
His svaroopam ( intrinsic nature ) and svabhAvam
would be freed of all obstacles to Bhakthi unto Him
and will be devoted to Him with unassailable bhakthi.
Meaning of the second line of the Paasuram
**********************************************
" yellai ilAtha vibhUthi yelAm Tanathu aanamayum "
Our Lord uses one trillionth of His power as the ruler of
the universe to be present in a pervasive manner in all
of His created objects and beings. The disposition to
begin some thing or to cease from any activity arises
from the sankalpam of Lord , the indweller . The sentients
and insentients of the universe can not overcome
the will of the Lord during the state of Kaaryam ,
KaaraNam , manifestation in the gross (sthUlam )
or subtle ( Sookshmam ) or in the states of creation ,
protection or dissolution (i.e)., They can not transgress
His sankalpam in any one of the above states .
Meaning of the Third line of the Paasuram
********************************************
" yellayil bhatthi tanai yezhuvikka "
Those who comprehend that the Lord is the abode
of anantha kalyANa guNams and that he rules the universe
as its KaaraNam will always have their minds united with
the Lord. They can not sustain themselves even for one
second without Him . They will exchange their knowledge
about the auspicous attributes of the Lord with other
BhAgavathAs.They will stay happy in reciting or hearing
about the sweet , superhuman deeds(athimAnusha leelais)
of the Lord . Their Bhakthi will grow on and on forever.
The Meaning od the fourth line of the Paasuram
**************************************************
" ( ThiruvaruLAl ) yellayil Isan iyambinan Indhiran mainthanukkE "
The Lord of infinite auspicious attributes instructed Arjuna ,
the son of Indhran , the secrets about Bhakthi yOgam with
great compassion .
Swamy AaLavanthAr's summary of the 9th Chapter
*****************************************************
sva-kalyANa guNAnanthya kruthsna-svAdheenatAmathi:
bhakthyuthpatthi vivrudhyarTA vistheerNA dasamOdhitha:
--- 14th SlOkam of GeethArTa Sangraham
(Meaning): This tenth chapter reveals that BhagavAn's
KalyANa guNams are infinite . All of these guNams are
under the total control of BhagavAn ( Bhagavath adheenam).
Lord's soverignity over the entire universe created by
Him is unmatched and is ruled by Him alone through
His sankalpam . The universe is His body and He is
the indweller of all the chEthanams and achEthanams
of this universe . Those who comprehend clearly
the tatthvams revealed in this chapter will become
full of Bhakthi , if they did not have Bhakthi for
the Lord before ; those who had Bhakthi before
would experience a growth in that Bhakthi .
