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) .

For the past few years , they have been living in the cramped quarters in the basement of the temple . Please support this Kaimkaryam .
