SrI:

Dear BhakthAs of Swamy  Desikan :

 Today , we will study Swamy  Desikan's criticism  of
MeemAmsaka Matham and its followers .

187) Criticism of the MeemAmsa Matham
**********************************
Isanum maRRa aNangum ilathuyenRu yezhilnAnmaRayil
    pesiya nall vinayAl perum paazhukkuneer iraykkum
neesarai neethikaLAl nigamAnthatthin nool vazhiyE
    mAsu il manam kodutthum maRu mARRangaL mARRuvamE

(Meaning): MeemAmsakAs do not  accept either the Lord or the other gods
like Indhran. They believe that the Yaagams and Yaj~nams done by humans
produce a vasthu known as apoorvam and that vasthu gives the phalans
for those karmAs .They accept sabdham as the DEvathai . This creates
a situaton in their matham , where the devathais have no sarIram ,
problem in acceptance of the havis by the dEvathai , enjoyment of that havis
by the accepting devathai, granting fruits for the karmA performed
and for the devathai to be at more than one place to particpate in
more than one  yaj~nam .

The MemAmsakAs do not accept the existence of Iswaran ,
who is worshipped by all types of KarmAs and who grants
the fruits for those kinds of worship . Instead , they create an
insentient vasthu named apoorvam (PuNyams and Paapams),
perform karmAs enjoined by the VedAs  with pomp and expenditure of
a lot of money , undergo a lot of physical sufferings (SarIra Sramam) .
Their effort is like irrigating a desert region. It is futile and fruitless.

We (Swamy  Desikan ) will refute their foolish ways with appropriate
Veda PramANams and help them understand their follies.

188)  Poorva and Utthara MeemAmsais are one Saasthram only
**************************************************
kanai kadal pOl oru neerAm sootthiratthai
    kavunthanayum irAhuvaium pOlak-kaNDu
ninaivudanE nilait-tarumam ihanthu niRkkum
   neesar nilai nikai nADA vaNNam yeNI
vinai paravu saiminiyAr vEda noolai
   vEdAntha nooludanE virahAl  kOttha
munai udaya muzhu mathi namm munivar sonna
   mozhi vazhiyE vazhi yenRu muyanRittOmE

(Meaning) : Our SiddhAntham is to accept Poorva MeemAmsai,
Utthara MeemAmsai as one vEdAntha Saasthram. Like the One ocean
is called lower and upper ocean , the MeemAmsai, which is one sAsthram
is nomenclatured as Poorva and Utthara MeemAmsais. Poorva MeemAmsai
covers the KarmAs dealing with Bhagavath AarAdhanam . The Iswaran ,
who is worshipped by those KarmAs is the subject matter of Utthara
MeemAmsai or Brahma KaaNDam . BhOdhAyanar , Swamy AaLavanthAr
and AchArya RaamAnujA established this unifying classification and accepted
the two MeemAmsais as belonging to one Saasthram.  We follow this path
recommended by these great intellectuals .

The usage of the words in this Paasuram ( Kavanthanayum IrAhuvayum pOlE )
refers to the MeemAmsakAs calling Poorva MeemAmsam ( Karma KaaNDam)
that does not  accept  Iswaran and only KarmAs as trunk without head ; they
call
Utthara MeemAmsam , which eschews KarmAs and talks only about Iswaran
(Brahman ) as head without trunk. Raahu has head but no trunk; Kabhandhan
of SrImath RaamAyaNam has no head but he has trunk only. Swamy Desikan
gives these apt comparisons to describe the position of   the MeemAmsakAs
and goes on to assert that the united Poorva and Utthara MemAmsams are
one Saasthram (body witha head) and that they can not be seperated .

Swamy Desikan rejects Nireeswara MeemAmsakas , who extoll
KarmAs over Iswaran with the rules of SaarIraka Saasthram .
Swamy Desikan accepts the PoorvOtthara MeemAmsa Kramam.
Swamy  Desikan blessed us with two SrI Sookthis (sEswara MeemAmsa
and MeemAmsa PaadhukA ) to establish the oneness of MeemAmsa
instead of rigid separation of hte one Saasthram in to two MeemAmsa
Saasthrams.
