SrI:
 
Dear BhakthAs of Lord RanganAtha:
 
So far adiyEn covered the first two chapters of Srimath Rahasya Thraya Saaram (SRTS):
Sri Guru ParamparA Saaram and (2) UpOthgAdhAdhikAram .The Swamy Desika
Sahasra Naamams  linked to these two chapters are eleven in number (793- 803 ).
 
Before moving on to the the 3rd Chapter (Saara NishkarshAdhikAram ) , adiyEn
will summarize the content of the first two chapters a la Vaikunta Vaasi , Sri U.Ve.
SrirAma DesikAchArya Swamy in his m0numental monograph on SRTS
released by Poundarikapuram Aasramam .
 
A . SrI Giru ParamparA Saaram 
**********************************
1) All Mumukshus ( Those desiring Moksham) must have SadAchArya
Sambhandham.  
 
2) They must meditate upon our sacred AchArya Paramparai starting from
our  ParamAchAryan , Sriman NaarAyaNan and all the way down to one's
current AchAryan for their MahOpakAram to they perform for us . 
 
3) Our ParamAchAryan takes many initatives to help us directly and
indirectly through His son ( Brahmaa) , grandsons ( NaarAdhar , Sanakar ,
Sanandhar , SanathkumArar SanathkumArar and SanAthanar et al ) ,
Sages VyAsar and avathArams as the AzhwArs in DakshiNa BhUmi.
 
4) Every ChEthanan should eulogize his/her AchAryan and protect
the Manthrams and ManthrArthams that they have recieved from their
AchAryAs . If they do not do so, they will lose this wealth and acquire
on top sins .
 
5) Whenever one reflects on these rahsyArtams of  these three manthrams ,
the ChEthanan should meditate on the AchArya Paramparai first.
 
6) AchArya Bhakthi is Nithyam , Naimithtikam and Kaamyam .Since abandoning
that observance is the cause of sins , AchArya Bhakthi is classified as
a nithya karma. It is also classed as Naimitthika Karma , since atonements
are prescribed for nonobservance . Since one gains the Jn~Ana sampath
from AchArya Bhakthi , such a practise is recognized among Kaamya karmaas.
 
2. Sri  Guru ParamparA Saaram is considered as a seperate grantham by
some . others consider it as integrally linked to SRTS. Whatever one's view
may be , Sri Guru Paramparaa Saaram has to be studied first before one starts
UpOdhgAthAdhikAram , the First Chapter of SRTS .
 
I. UpOdhgAdhAdhikAram
*****************************
1. This chapter is an introduction for the content to be covered .
It is therefore named as "UpOdhgAtham).
 
2. Every Jeevan has the indispensable rights to serve and enjoy
Sriman NaarAyaNan in Sri Vaikuntam like the Nithya Sooris
( the eternally liberated Jeevans).
 
3. The samsAric Jeevan struggles in this world due to karma sambhandham
and as a result does not understand the Tatthvaas and Hitham . Due to some
good deeds done in previous janmam , that jeevan is blessed with Sath sangam
of Mahaans( BhaagavathAs) . After that beneficial association , the Jeevan
becomes blessed with the acquisition of a SadAchAryan . This jeevan gains
Tatthva Jn~Anam through AchArya UpadEsam and performs SaraNAgathy
for its ujjevanam .
 
4. There are six reasons (hEthu shaDkam) given for the soubhAgyam of
being blessed with a SadAchAryan : (a) EmperumAn staying  as
the ananukoolan (b) Accidental sukrutham done  (c) JaayamAna KaDAksham
by EmperumAn at the time of birth (d) Staying away from enimity to
the Lord (e) depending on His grace alone and , (f) association with
His BhagavathAs . 
 
adiyEn will cover the second and the third chapters (Saara nishkarshAdhikAram
and   the PradhAna PrathitantrAdhikAram next.
