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.
