Dear BhakthAs:
Today , we will study the 6 Sahasra nAmaas
from 998-1003 .
(998) ( PraNavam)
PraapthyantharAya vidhE nama:
( Meaning)
: Salutations to that AchAryan , who was
immensely knowledgable
about the
obstacles to attain Moksha Phalan .
(999) ( PraNavam)
SaadhyOpAya rOdhi visEshavidhE nama:
Salutations to that AchAryan , who
had insightful knowledge about the VirOdhis
( Paapa visEshams) for SaadhyOpAyam
( UpAya VirOdhis for Bhakthi and Prapatthi
yOgams)
.
(1000) ( PraNavam)
prathikoolAnubhDhyAdhi hEthu
pApasvaroopa vidhE nama:
(Meaning) : Salutations to that
AchAryan , who knew intimately about the svaroopams
of the Sins from Prathikoola
anubhavam ( transgession of Bhagavath Saashtrams
) and
the ways to overcome them through
PrAyascchittha Prapatthi
.
(1001) (PraNavam)
guNAshtakAvirbhAvOkthi vEdhyArTa parisOdhakAya
nama:
(Meaning) : Salutations to that
AchAryan , who has looked deeply into the meaning of
the Veda manthram that says the
Muktha jeevan released from SamsAric afflictions
exhibits once again its intrinsic ,
Eight guNams ( Beyond the power of Karmaas ,
agelessness , deathlessness ,
freedom from sorrows , freedom from hunger , freedom
from thirst , possession of
auspicious attributes and ability to fulfill the desired wishes
).
Under the influence of KarmAs ,
these eight guNmas were hidden in SamsAris (Bhaddha
Jeevans). These 8 guNams ( aphatha
paapmathvam ) become patent once the state of
Mukthi is attained . They come to
the fore on their own (aavirbhAvam) , when the karmic
obstacles are removed
.
(1002) (PraNavam) KaivAlyAkhya
pumarTasvaroopa nithyathva BhAdhakAya nama:
(Meaning): Salutations to that
AchAryan , who refuted the view that the Svaroopam
(Intrinsic nature ) of the
PurushArTam known as Kaivalyam is eternal (nithyam).
(Commentary ): Kaivalyam is the enjoyment of its
svaroopam by the Jeevan
and being immersed in that state of aanandham . It
is thus devoid of Bhagavath
anubhavam . ParipoorNa Bhagavath anubhavam is the
end destiny of Moksham.
Kaivalyam is bereft of that ParipoorNa
BrhmAnandham . Even if the 8 guNams like
apahatha Paapmathvam are enjoyed by the Jeevan ,
there are still residual karmAs ,
which stand in the way of gaining ParipoorNa
BrahmAnandham and result in
the jeevan being limited to Kaivalya aanandham
alone . Bhagavath anubhavam is
everlasting (Nithyam) . Kaivalyam is not nithyam .
After it is exhausted , one may
revert and end up in Vishaya bhOgams (Svarga
Vaasam) . Some may practise mOkshOpAyam
and and gain ParipoorNa BrahmAnubhavam and Nithya
Kaimkarya siddhi. That is
why AchAryAs and AzhwArs have looked down on the
anithya Kaivalya "Moksham ".
It is only niravadhi Sukham ( limited in duration:
aLavil inbham as oposed to aLavillaa
Inbham of Moksham ). Kaivalyam in the final
analysis is inferior to Bhagavath anubhavam
and is not nithyam . Sri BhAshyam instructs us
that those who perfrom aathmOpAsanam
for Kaivalya siddhi do not travel by ArchirAdhi
Maargam to Join the Nithya Sooris in
SrI Vaikuntam . Kaivalyam is nither nithyam nor
Moksham and hence is not desirable
as an ultimate goal .
(1003) (PraNavam)
MaasuchassaBdha nirNunna sOkaanEka vidhathva vidhE
nama:
(Meaning): Salutations to that
SrEshta AchAryan , who was fully familar with
the many sorrows that would be
banished by the Lord through His assuramce
"Maa Sucha: " (Grieve
not).
(Commentary ) : Jeevan has many sorrows , doubts
and fears . Lord instructs it
about the UpAyam of Prapatthi in the first half of
His Charama slOkam and
the Phalan of Prapatthi in the second half
.Finally , the Lord consoles the Jeevan
and asks it not to grieve after performing
Prapatthi . Since all Sokams are removed
through the performance of Prapatthi ,
GithAchAryan assures the Jeevan that
there is no reason for Sokam anymore and therefore
it should not grieve .
A partial list of these
sorrows that the Lord assures freedom from for the jeevans
are :
(1) We are unfit for practising Prapatthi (
anadhikAri) and developing sorrow over that .
BHagavAn assures the Jeevans that Prapatthi unlike
Bhakthi yogam can be practised
by one and all .
(2) Bhakthi Yogam is hard to practise for gaining
MOksham . It takes too long to yield
the MOksha Phalan . Such thoughts generate sorrow
and despair. Bhagavaan says
to that jeevan: " Practise easy to perform
Prapatthi yOgam ; it can be done in a trice
and will yield phalan in the time you desire
.
(3) Sorow and fear over the though that arises
from doubts about the Lord (SiddhOpAyan)
accepting the Prapatthi and granting the
Moksha Phalan : Lord assures the Prapanna Jevan
that He never lets anyone who performed Prapatthi
down based on His Achyutha Tatthvam .
He is aasritha sulabhan .He considers that he
gains the Phalan from His act of protection
that the jeevan sought . He has untrammeled
independence and can not be stopped once
He has promised to protect the Jeevan
.
(4) Sorrows and fear that there might be blemishes
in anushtAnams after Prapatthi
that may interfere with the Phalan . Lord assures
the Jevan not to sorrow over that
because the nithya karmAnushtAnams done after
Prapatthi are not angams of Prapatthi
unlike BHakthi Yogam .
(5) Paapams arising after Prapatthi from
wilfully accumulated sins: Lord assures
the Jeevan not to grieve over this .Proper
Praayascchitthams including PrAyascchittha
Prapatthi will eliminate those kinds of paapAms .
He never abandons the Prapannan .
He gives occasionally light punishments
during the post-Prapatthi period and cleanses
them of these Paapams .
(6) Aartha Prapannan , who wishes to have Moksham
without delay and sorrows over
continued existence on this earth instead of
enjoying ParipoorNa BrahmAnandham
and nithya Kaimkaryam in Srivaikuntam : Lord
assures that sorrowing Jeevan not to
grieve and grants that Jeevan immediate Moksham .
(7) The Jeevan may worry over rebirths due to
lapses in Prapatthi . Lord assures this Jeevan
that Dhruptha Prapatthi made with the specific
request for MOksham ( freedom from cycles of
births and deaths ) at the end of this life
is firm and PrArabdha Karma VisEshams will not
interfere with that goal of non return to this
universe ever .
(8) Some Jeevan may sorrow over ending up with
Kaivalyam and other lower levels
of Moksham .BhagavAn assures this jeevan
that Prapatthi done without
seeking any other
Phalan will result only in ParipoorNa BrahmAnandha
, Nithya Kaimkarya PrApthi
Moksham alone .
BhagavAn assures the Prapanna Jeevan : "Na
thyajEyam Kadhanjana " ( I will never
abandon You ) . Only Bhaagavatha apachAram and
anya dEvathA worship will interfere
with Prapatthi phalan . Thus Bhagavaan assures the
Jeevan through every manner that
He will remove all sorrows of the Prapanna Jeevan
and for it not to grieve (Maa Sucha: ).
