Dear Swamin
Adiyen has written in " Sri Desika Seava" magazine thus:---
To achieve and reach "Paramapatha" , it was "Thapas"during Krutha Yuga
it was " Jnana" during Thretha Yuga
it was " "Yajna" & "Yaaga" during
Dwapara Yuga
and it was " Dhaanam" during Kali Yuga Sri Vishnu Purana says:--
It was "Dyana" during Krutha Yuga
It was "Yajna" during Thretha Yuga
It was " Archana" during Dwapara Yuga
and It was " Bhagvan Nama Bhajan" during Kali Yuga
The Bhagvan Nama Sangeerthan has to be done continously till the last breathe during Kali Yuga. The Chinthana about Bhagvan should be there at the time of seperation of " Jeevathma" from this body( Sareeram)
This is not atall possible and that is why " Prapathi" is there in Sri Desika Sampradaya.
Even after this "Baranyasam" , Nithya karma such as" Thrikala sandhya" etc has to be performed which gives eligibility to do "Jabhams" of Ashtakshara Dvyam etc
This recital of " Jabham" commences from the moment one takes " Samasrayanam"
In this " Kali Yuga" performance of " Yajna"/ " Yaaga"/ " Homam" is not possible because it requires implementation of various commands/guidelines according to Veda Sastras. Otherwise it will act , opposite to our performance .
If a homam has to be performed, first of all jabham has to be done
Then Homam ( 50% of the number of Jabham) Then Khseera Tharpanam( 50% of the Count of Homam)
These are all require strict observence of sastra dharmam
Then, what is the alternative?
Jabham of "manthrams" of Sri Hayagreeva, Dhanvanthri, Sri Nrusimhan etc etc like the Jabham of Gayathri, Ashtakshram etc forwhich there are also guidelines
Like getting "upadesa " of Ashtaksharam etc from an Acharyan, here also Acharyan is required to get upadesa of "manthrams" of Sri Hayagreevar etc
This is possible if that so-called Acharyan is fit enough to do "upadesam"
What is that "fitness" ?
This Acharyan should have accumulated morethan enough numbers ( counts) of these manthrams in his upasana by doing jabhams daily from the very beginning ( say--some years) . Then only ,it will give desired fruit to those who are getting "upadesam"
Those who desire to get "upadesam" should have absolute faith
with Manthra Devatha
with that Particular Manthra
and with the Acharyan who is doing this Upadesam
Further, it is not enough to keep idle after getting "upadesam' of Manthram.
This bakthan should do jabhams daily atleast 28 times after Gayathri jabham , Ashtakshara , Dvaya Jabham etc
There may be errors in the text / communication gap in adiyen's wordings etc
But the important message is that Manthra jabham is quite essential in this "Kali Yuga"
This Acharya --Sishya relationship should be continued
Some may have doubt about this jabham etc as this will come under the category of "KaamyaarthaM'
It is not so. The jabham of Gayathri manthram ashtaksharam etc are to be done according to Sastras. Like these , Thiruvaradhanam is done duly saying "Sathvika thyakam" before and after. These Jabhams also can be done duly reciting "sathvika thyakam" as every act done by us is for the pleasure/satisfaction of Baghvan
Oh, bhakthas who received"upadesam" from adiyen
Adiyen has been directed by Sri Hayagreevan to do jabham of all manthrams on Deepavali day by doing "sankalpam" as " mama sishyavarga manobheeshta sidhyartham"
forwhich adiyen requires from those bhakthas who got "manthrobadesam"from adiyen to inform adiyen Sarman, Gothram, Nakshatram, and rasi, at the earliest
