Swamy Deshikan Thiruvadigale Sharanam !!!

Dear Bhagavathas,

Sriman Shathakopa thathacharya swamy of Kanchipuram
has released a VCD of Swamy Thuppul Deshikan's
Thirunakshatram celebrations. Sriman Shatakopa
Thathacharya is the trustee of Thooppul Vedantha
Desikar Charitable Trust. With regards to the
procurement of this VCD by bhagavathas, Sriman
Shathakopa thathacharya has forwarded the following
appeal. (All translation errors are adiyen's).

=======================================================================================
- From Sriman Shathakopa thathacharya - Continued ...

While on pursuit of a befitting place to perform
penance and having found the kshetram of Satyavrata,
Swamy Deshikan beholds the Lord in the sanctum
sanctorum as per the maxim "Atmaikyam devataikyam".

Adorning the role of a disciple in the second act of
the play Sankalpa suryodayam, Swamy recieves from the
Lord of lords, an embellishment in gold and diamonds
for having established the darshanam irrefutably.

In the guise of Vivekan, Swamy, being a "shreyomArge
pratibharajita" accepts the shower of flowers (pushpa
vrushti).

Again pursuing for a befitting place to perform
penance, Swamy Deshikan offers his obeisances to
Nammazhwar born in Kurugur with the words
"SArassArasvatAnAM".

Having performed mangalashasanam this way, Swamy
adorns the pushpa pallakku again and sees himself
through the mAda streets of Perumal koil before
returning to his abode at Thuppul. This certainly is
the scene that moves everyone to tears.

In the play there are other iniquitous characters
also, like pride, jealousy, anger etc. But since our
Swamy is bereft of all these virtues, it is not
possible for him to enact in those guises. Everyone
should indeed derive great pleasure by seeing this
utsavam which is nothing but Swamy enacting his own
play. It is our request that everyone comes to witness
this wonderful event in person. It takes a year to
watch this spectacle live. But now with this media it
is possible for us to watch this event everyday. The
proceeds of this CD will go to the nityaradhana
kainkaryam of our Swamy at Thuppul.

In the first panchadi of Krishna Yajurvedam, it is
said "devovassavitA prArpayatu
shreShThatamAyakarmaNe". In the third ashtakam which
is the Brahmana bhagam of this, it is said "yajno hi
shreShThatamam karma" - Yajnam is indeed the
superlative of deeds. The expositors of this passage
have stated that there is no fruit that may not be
obtained by the performance of a Yajnam -
"sarvakAmasiddhihetutvAt".

Yajnam means a yaagam. Its derivation comes from "yaja
deva pUjAyAM". The purport of this word is to perform
aradhanam to the Lord. It is therefore of superlative
in nature and is capable of bestowing all fruits of
desire.

We are fortunate enough to have been doing such a
superlative service as Bhagavadaradhanam, with the
support of this trust. The Vedas proclaim "yajnasya
kAmya: priya:". This is exposited in the commentary as
"yajno hi svAnuShThAnAya mAM kAmayate" - The Yajnam
likes the one who performs it. Here the yagam of
performing nityaradhanam to Sri Vilakkoli Perumal
likes us to be its performers. Our support for such
kainkaryams may not be needed at all temples that are
very well off. It is therefore our prayer to
bhagavathas to support and participate in the
nityaradhanam of Deepaprakasha Perumal and to be the
recipients of the Yajnam's choicest blessings.

Two types of kainkaryams have been prescribed for
Jaavas. "AjnA kainkaryam" - Sandhyavandanam,
Thiruvaradhanam, Tarpanam etc. These have to be
performed. A lapse on this part would mean to incur
sin. The second type is "anujnA kainkaryam" - These
include visiting holy places, supporting  the
renovations, supporting the daily supply of sacristies
like oil, ghee, nivedanam, flowers and others. These
may be done based on one's capacity. A lapse on these
performances will not be incuring any sin.

Swamy Deshikan has lucidly elaborated this in his
Nyasa Vimshati - "AjnAkainkarya vRittiShu ...
yAvadiShTaM pravRtta:" and also "akaraNe pratyavAya
rahitaM anujnA kainkaryam" - It is of no sin if anujnA
kainkaryams are not performed. At the same time the
AjnA kainkaryams like nityArAdhanam and others have
been ordained in the Agamas, and so they have to be
performed. It is therefore our bounden duty to perform
the nityaradhanam of Vilakkoli Perumal.

Once again, we request your participation and support
in this once in a lifetime kainkaryam of supporting
the Nityaradhanam of Maragathavalli Nayika sametha
Deepraprakasha Perumal and Swamy Deshikan at the
thiruththalam of Thuppul divyadesham.

=======================================================================================

Please avail this rare opportunity. Bhagavathas making
a contribution of more than Rs 300/- towards Swamy
Deshikan Nityaradhanam Kainkaryam will be given this
CD as a pArithoshakam (present) and Swamy's anugraham.
