Sri:
SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,
Dear Sriman Sadagopan Swamin,
Thank you for another delightful offering of Amrutam in your
summary of Sri RPS-45. Adiyen is particularly touched by the last
observation you made on the journey of the Jivatma to Sri Vaikuntam.
During Adiyen's recent trip to India, Adiyen's Acharya, H.H. Srimad
Andavan Swami of Srimad Poundarikapuram Ashramam, blessed Adiyen
with a 2ftx3ft picture which depicts the journey of the JivAtma to
Sri Vaikuntam. The graphical presentation of the route to the
Sri Divya TripAda VibhUti would be a valuable possession for
every Sri Vaishnava. This picture can be obtained free of cost
when one visits H.H. in Srirangam. A number of copies are available
at the Ashramam. Very briefly, the journey to Sri Divya TripAda Vibhuti
involves the following steps.
Satsangam (Kalakshepam at the feet of a Sadacharya)
Prapatti
DehAvasAnam
Archirdeva Lokam
DinAbhimani Deva Lokam
Shukla Paksha Deva Lokam
UttarayaNAbhimAni Deva Lokam
SamvatsarAbhimAni Deva Lokam
Vayur Deva Lokam
Surya Deva Lokam
Chandra Deva Lokam
Vidyuth Deva Lokam
VaruNa Deva Lokam
Indra Deva Lokam
Brahma Deva Lokam
Viraja Nadi Snanam (acquiring a new body full of Shuddha Satva
upon completion of the Snanam)
Attendants of Lord Narayana are lined up to welcome the jivatma
All royal paraphernalia is in place as the NityasUris joyously
line up along the path to Lord Narayana's Sabha to welcome the new entrant.
The jivatma arrives at the Gopuram at the entrance to the
Sabha of Lord Narayana, where the jivatma respectfully prostrates.
A further line of Nithya Suris line up past the Gopuram holding the
royal umbrella, Chamaram etc and then the jivatma ascends a planquin,
which carries him to the Sabha of Lord Narayana. The Sabha has
Anantha, Garuda, Vishvaksena and the other Dwara Palakas. The Lord
is majestically seated in the company of his consorts Sri Devi, Bhumi Devi
and Neela Devi. (This picture reminds Adiyen of the Sri Ramanujacharya's
SharaNagati Gadyam salutation "Evam Bhoota Bhumi
Neela Nayaka"). The jivatma prostrates at the Lord's lotus feet.
The Lord picks up the jivatma and affectionately seats the jivatma on His
lap just as a loving father welcomes his beloved son.
The relevant shlokas too are contained in this picture, which provides
a succinct description of the path to Sri DivyatripAdha ViBhUti as
described by NammAzhwar in Tiruvaimozhi and Swami Desikan in the
Rahasya Trayasaram.
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
