SrI:

 Dear SrI VaradarAja BhakthAs :

The Thirumanthira Churukku Prabhandham has 10 Paasurams ,
which cover the essence of the meanings of Thirumanthiram /
Moola Manthram/AshtAksharam/ Thiruvettezhutthu.

Swamy  Desikan has covered extensively the deep meanings of
Thirumanthiram in His Magnum Opus , SrImath Rahasya Thraya
Saaram ( Chapter : 27 ). adiyEn's postings on PradhAna Sathakam
are archived in SaraNAgathy Journal and there are considerable
discussions there on the three rahsyams in general and Moola
Manthram in particular ( begins with Volume 1.20: June 1998) :

As the final grantham of his long life known for the creation of
many lofty and erudite granthams , VirOdha ParihAram
was created by Swamy  Desikan to clear our anticipated
doubts  about the Three rahasyams covered earlier in
SrInmath Rahasya Thraya Saaram . Here is also found
elaborations and clarfications of the subtle points about            .
Moola Manthram , Dhvayam & Charama slOkams
( the Three rahsyams). BhakthAs are referred to these
authoritative sources to go beyond the Coverage here
on the "Churukkus" ( short summaries).

Summary of the Vaibhavam of Thirumanthiram
************************************
It shines over all VyApaka manthrams . It is the essence of
all Vedams. It removes all anishtams( inauspiciousness).
It tops all upAyams and grants all desired phalans. It can be recited
by sakala jAthis according to ancient practises as Vaidhika or
Taantrika manthram along the lines shown by PaancharAthram .
It has the power to shed light on the three tatthvams: ChEtanan,
achEtanam and Iswaran. It does not need the support of other
manthrams for yielding the sought after phalans. The sages of
the yore and the divine AzhwArs have sung about the glories of
this AshtAksharam . Only those like Thirumangai , who had
the distinct honor of receiving UpadEsam on this sacred
Manthram form the Lord Himself can know its full glories.

This manthram is made up of 8 aksharams .The Upanishads
have pointed out  that this Manthram can reveal SrIman
NaarAyaNan and sings the glories of one , who performs
AshtAkshara Manthra Japam .The AchAryAs have treated
it as a sacred treasure and released the full meanings
of this manthram only to those , who thirst for it.

This Prabhandham is named "Thirumanthira Churukku  "
because this Prabhandham seperates the manthram in to
its 8 padhams ( aksharams ) and provides their meanings in
a condensed form ( Churukku). This whole Prabhandham
is blessed to us by Swamy Desikan out of His compassion for
all the jeevans drowning in the fearsome ocean of SamsAram
and for uplifting them .

The condensed meaning of the ten paasurams of this Prabhandham is:

(1)  SrIman NaarayaNan is Sarav Rakshakan ( Protector of ALL).
(2)  He is never is away from His PirAtti even for a fraction of a second.
(3)  He is Eternal
(4)  He blesses all janthus with true knowledge and directs them to
auspicious paths.
(5)  He has an unmatched beautiful body and is the abode of limitless
auspicious guNams.
(6)  He is the creator of all ChEtanams and achEtanams.
(7)  He stands as the UpAyam (means) and goals for ALL.
(8)  He stays as the aadharam for ChEtanams and achEtanams and
      enters them and stays inside them as the indweller .

About the JeevAthmA:
******************
(1)  JeevAthma is of the form of Jn~Anam ( Jn~Ana Svaroopan)
(2) He has Jn~Anam as GuNam.
(3) He is of the atomic size (aNu) and is different from Iswaran and
achEthanam.
(4) He is the servant (Seshan) of the Lord and His PirAtti .
(5) There is nothing of which the Jeevan is Master
(6) He stays always under the influence & power of the Lord .
(7) He has no independence whatsoever of  his own.
(8) This Jeevan in the liberated state performs nithya kaimkaryam
        to the Dhivya Dampathis at SrI Vaikuntam.

We will study the individual Paasurams of this Prabhandham next .
