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).

(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 .
