SrI:

 Dear Sri RanganAtha BhakthAs :

Today we will continue with the study of THREE more
Desika Sahasra Naamams ( 801-805 ) .

801) asambhAshyAdhi sambhaashaNa nishkruthi
         guru-smruthayE nama:

(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan who  was convinced
that the atonement ( PrAyascchittham) for speaking to those
who are not fit to be spoken to,  is AchArya DhyAnam .

(Comments) : A vaidhikA should not speak to adhaarmikAs.
If that happens , Gouthama dharma Soothram says that
the atonement for such a lapse is dhyAnam on PuNyasAlees
(AchAryAs). Swamy  Desikan believed in this ruling by
the Dharma Saasthram .

UpOthgAdhadhikAram (Naamams: 802 & 803)
***********************************************
802) MokshArTa SaastrAnArambha hEtu dhikkruthi dakshiNAya nama:

(Meaning): Salutations to that AchArya (Swamy Desikan )
who spurned the reasons given to stay  away from Saasthrams
pointing the way to MOksham because of our own perceptions
of our unfitness.

(Comments): This adhikAram is a foreword for Swamy Desikan's
upadEsam in the subsequent chapters of Srimath Rahasya Thraya
Saaram expounding the esoteric meanings of the three rahasyams .

In UpOthgAdhAdhikAram , Swamy  Desikan answers number of
the questions about our own qualifications to gain Saastra Jn~Anam
to gain Moksham .

These questions are: (1) Why Should we begin the study of
Saasthrams dealing with Moksha Siddhi ? (2) Is it n't so
that the eternally liberated souls alone are qualified to
perform kaimkaryam for the Lord ? If we are qualified,
how come we lost that opportunity until now ? Why should
we who are unfit , commence the study of these SaasthrAs ?

Swamy Desikan's answer to these questions are housed in
the UpOdhgAdhAdhikAram . The highlights of his comments are:

We are qualified to perform nithya kaimkaryam to the Lord just as
the Nithya Sooris. Our Lord has the Kowsthubha rathnam on His chest
and is very fond of it. We the JeevAs should be dear to Him like
that gem. The Jeevans have special relationships to BhagavAn
as His children , disciples and servants .Therefore , we have full
rights to perform kaimkaryam to  the Lord . Inspite of these reasons ,
we have not been performing kaimkaryam to the Lord from a very
long time.The avidhyai named Maayai has been standing in the way
and has thwarted our efforts. As a result , we are not even aware
about our own bhAgyam that predisposes us to such a kaimkaryam.
The fortunate jeevans get the benefit of counsel from mahAns
about our status and our rights to gain moksham . After that ,
those jeevans  understand their pitiable status , gain AchArya
sambhandham to learn about our svaroopam and Tatthva Thrayam
and realize mOksham to perfrom nithya kaimkaryam to our Lord
at His Supreme Abode . Since Saasthrams instruct us
on  the knowledge about the understanding of  our svaroopam ,
the efforts to start the studies of such SaasthrAs  are very appropriate.

803) AchArya nikaDa prApthy hEthu shaDka niroopakAya Nama:

(Meaning): Salutations to the AchAryan (Swamy  Desikan ) ,
who identified precisely the six reasons  through which
a fortunate jeevan realizes AchArya Sambhandham .

(Comments): The six reasons why AchArya Sambhandham happens are :

(1) Iswaran's good will ( His preoccupation with the well being  of
      the Jeevans. His svabhAvam is to consider even unintended
      good acts by the jeevans as  vyAjam to mend their ways to reach
      out to Him ).

(2) YadrucchA Sukrutham ( accidental happening of an auspicous act).

(3) JaayamAna KadAksham ( Falling of the glance of the Lord even at the time
      of one's birth).

(4) Capability of the Jeevan to be free of enimity and hatred towards
      the Lord .

(5) Capacity of the Jeevan not to ignore the Lord and capacity
      to staying in a state of longing for Him .

(6) The companionship of Saathvikaas through conversations & service .

Jeevan gains AchArya Sambhandham through acquisition of the assembly
of the above six guNams( hEthu shaDka samudhAyam) .

 P.S: The Priest Quarters construction Kaimkaryam has sold only 660
 of the 2,000 Raffle tickets so far . We have 35 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 .
