SrI: Dear Sri RanganAtha BhakthAs : Today we will continue with study of three more Sahasra Naamams ( 794-796) . (794) DhramidOpanishath dhrashtru SooribrundhOpakAra vith (Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan, who was fully familiar with the assistances (upakArams) given by the AzhwArs to us through their creation of the Tamil Vedams . DhramidOpanishad refers to Tamizh MaRai (Vedams ). The authors of these Tamizh MaRais are the assembly of twelve AzhwArs (Soori Brundha:). Their upakAram in their role as our AchAryAs is matchless .They are Veda Manthra dhrushtAs in their own right . They were fully familiar with the ancient Sanskrit VedAs . Rishis were the ones , who saw first these Veda Manthrams in their mind and became manthra dhrashtAs. Tamizh Vedam is also eternal like the Sanskrit Vedams . AzhwArs " found " these Veda Manthrams that existed before , assembled their messages in Tamizh for the benfit of those , who could not access the Sanskrit Vedams for our benefit .That is why AzhwArs are saluted as "SamhithAm Dhrushtavantham " ( One who saw the Sanskrit Veda Manthrams). The meanings of the Sanskrit Veda Manthrams are difficult to understand. AzhwArs performed a great help in making the meanings of these Sanskrit Vedams available to us in clear terms through their Tamizh Paasurams for our enjoyment and benefit . Sanskrit Vedams are like a vast ocean .They contain a mixture of things . AzhwArs are like the clouds that absorb the pure water from the salty ocean and nourish us with clear , potable water (dhivya Prabhandha Paasurams). AzhwAr's Paasurams are like that life--sustaining rain water . That is why the special efforts taken by them to help us is incomparable. The waters of the ocean are salty and can be useful only to Fish and the like. AzhwAr's paasurams arising from the ocean of Sanskrit Vedams are like rain water and is useful to every janthu . (795) Mokshaika--sAdhanAchAryavatthA saadhana tathpara: (Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who established the doctrine that AchArya Sambhandham ( AchArya link) is the central factor for any one to gain Moksha Siddhi. (Comments): Whether one is a great sinner or PuNyasAli , Moksha siddhi can be realized by him only through the links to a SadAchAryan . AchArya Sambhandham is thus indispensable for every one to gain Moksham . The Greatest of sinners or the grandest among the PuNyasaalis can not gain moksham without that AchArya Sambhandham. (796) SvAchAryAdhi SaraNyAntha Bhakthi krama visEsha Vith (Meaning ) : Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who clearly understood the sequence of steps in Bhakthi yOgam starting from one's own AchAryan to BhagavAn (SaraNyan) . (Comments): It is not enough to have just AchArya Sambhandham . One has also to know the AchArya Paramparai starting from one's own AchArya to all the way up to BhagavAn , the PrathamAchAryan . That AchArya Vamsam has to be meditated upon every day . This anusandhAnam of AchArya Vamsam in the proper sequence (ascending order ) has to be infused with Bhakthi. That is the Bhakthi Krama VisEsham saluted in this Sahasra Naamam. (To Be continued) Swamy Desikan ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam , Daasan , Oppiliappan Koil VaradAchAri Sadagopan P.S: The Priest Quarters construction Kaimkaryam has sold only 658 of the 2,000 Raffle tickets so far .
