SrI: Dear BhakthAs of Lord RanganAtha: adiyEn will cover today the one Desika Sahasra Naamam dealing with the fourth chapter of SRTS , ArTa Panchaka adhikAram . 810) arTapanchaka tatvaj~nyAya nama: (meaning ) : Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who understood clearly the meanings of the five tatthvams that are important for one seeking Moksham . (Comments) : This chapter of SRTS deals with the five important doctrines that one must understand . All the VedAs , IthihAsams and PurANams speak principally about these five items for the benefit of a Mumukshu .These are known as arTa Panchakam . ArTa panchakam covers the meanings of five topics that a Mumukshu has to know : 1) Praapyan : The ParamAthmaa , who is the object of attainment . 2) PrApthaa: JeevAthma , who seeks the ParamAthmaa , the PrApyan . 3) PrApthi UpAyam: The means for the Jeevan to gain ParamAthmaa. 4) Phalan: The fruit of attaining ParamAthmaa. 5) PrApthi VirOdhi: The obstacles for the Jeevan in attaining ParamAthmaa. One who seeks Moksham has to reflect on the five menings of the above five items housed in the three rahasyams : 1. Svaroopam of ParamAthmaa: He never is without His DEvi. He has immeasurable Jn~Anam and Aanandham. He is free of any defects. He has limitless auspicious attributes. He is the foundation (aadhAram) for all the world and its beings . He has a divine and auspicious form ( dhivya mangaLa vigraham) , which is not made up of panchabhUthams ( aprAkrutham). That body is made entirely of suddha satthvam. He has as His body both the LeelA VibhUthi and Nithya VibhUthi ( This earth and the other world).He has as His leelA , the acts of creation , protection and destruction of the worlds and their beings. This ParamAthmA is enjoyed by the Jeevans in the state of Moksham. 2. JeevAthmA : It is of atomic size. It is also of Jn~Ana-aanandha Svaroopam .It is an unconditional servant of the Lord. It is under the Lord's control. It is destined to attain ParamAthmaa. The Jevans are of three kinds : Bound ( Bhaddha) , liberated (Muktha) and eternally unbound ( Nithya) Jeevans . 3. Upaayam: There are two Upaayams for securing Moksham: Bhakthi yOgam and Prapatthi yOgam . For one , who does not have the power to practise Bhakthi yOgam , Prapatthi is the easy -to-practise upAyam . 4.Phalan: The fruit enjoyed in Moksham is to arrive at Sri Vaikuntam and enjoy ParamAthmA there blissfully through uninterrupted kaimkaryam to Him there . 5. Phala VirOdhi: avidhyai( false & vipareetha knowledge ) , poorva janma karmaas and their residual effects(vaasanais) are the three VirOdhis (enemies) for Moksham . Bhagavan gets angry over our many trespasses to His Saasthram and is ready to punish us in number of ways: (a) Creation of Prakruthi sambhandham and dulling our Jn~Anam (b) making one a slave of one's indhriyams (c) birth in the wombs of birds and animals , which are not bound by Bhagavath Saasthrams (d) GIve viparItha buddhi to join in naasthika mathams even while being born in human form (e) Tilting the mind of even aasthikAs towards immersion in worldly pleasures , which ultimately cause pain (f) goading one to accumulate sins by chasing after transient pleasures (g) making one go round and round in repeated cycles of births and deaths (h) goad one to perform worship for insignificant devathAs , who themselves are under the influence of their karmaas (i) make them deluded by the alpa phalans granted by these insignificant devathAs (j) interfere with the pursuit of yOgam that is not focused on BhagavAn (k) grant kaivalya sukham , which ultimately brings the jeevan back to the samsAric world . Thus BhagavAn's anger can cause many kinds of obstacles to Moksham (Phala virOdhi) . The only way to overcome His nigraham ( seeRRam) is to perform SaraNAgathy at His sacred feet .
