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 . We have 34 days to race towards
the finish line.  With full faith in our AchAryAs and the power of their
Sri Sookthis , we will do our  best to realize the goal of constructing
the living quarters for our priests and cook . For the past few years ,
they have been living in the cramped quarters in the basement of
the temple .  Please support this Kaimkaryam .
