SrI:

Dear SrI VaradarAja BhakthAs :

Today , we will conclude the study of  the Desika   Prabhandham
entitled , "Charama SlOka Churukku" with the coverage of
the 11th Paasuram ..

We will focus on the many meanings of the most important
assurance given by GeethAchAryan to lift us up from our sorrows
and comfort us : "Maa Sucha: " , the two words that you see embedded
in the hand of Lord VaradrAja at Kaanchi. The companion words
are seen on the hand of SrI Oppiliappan : " Maam yEkam SaraNam
Vraja".

325. The Meaning of " Maa Sucha: "
****************************
aRivum anaitthum ilaa adiyOmai adaikkalam koNDu
uRavu yena ninRa yelAm uRavE ninRa ThAnn yemakkAi
maRu piRavit-thuyar vaarA vahai manam koNDu ahalA
IRaivan innaruLAl yenkaL sOham tavirtthananE

(Meaning) : The Lord , who stands in our minds as  the foundation
for  all vasthus decided to protect us , who took refuge in Him.
He recognized that we are powerless to practise upAyams other
than the performance of Prapatthi at His Thiruvadi and therefore
in place of all the other difficult-to-practise upAyams , He blessed
us with the boon of freedom from the cycles of rebirth in the Karma
BhUmi for performing Prapatht and removed our sorrows once and for all .

The different Meanings of "Maa Sucha: " according to PoorvAchAryAs
********************************************************
" Maa Sucha: " stands for " please do not grieve" . ChEthanan is exposed
to sorrow from many sources in his samsAric life.  Bhagavan says here
that chEthanan can feel free from all those sorrows due to His intervention
and protection .

These are the many ways by which these sorrows arise:

1. Bhakthi yOgam is hard to practise and there are many obstacles ,
which interfere with the practise of this yogam for gaining Moksham .
This yogam also takes a long time to bear fruit . Lord says here to
the Prapanna jeevan not to grieve over that type of sorrow .The Lord says
that He will stand in place of that difficult yogam and remove the Jeevan's
sorrow.

2. Oh Jeevan, after you practised the upAyam of Prapatthi , the
responsibilities for your protection is Mine , the fruits arising from
that protection is also Mine. If I fail to protect you , I will be in a
terrible
state of being one , who has abandoned His duties . Please do not be
afraid that I would abandon you ever because of My independence .
You can now set aside that fear and sorrow.

3. Prapatthi yogam can be practised by people of all Jaathis.
So do not grieve that you are born in  a unqualified Jaathi. All
are adhikAris .Therefore abndon your sorrow on this aspect.

4. Prapatthi is easy to perform and can be done in a trice .
It does not anticipate any other angams other than the five
associated with it. Hence You do not need to grieve over
the thought that there are many angams that would bloat
its (prapatthi's) size to that of a huge and diffiuclt to practise
upAyam .

5. Please do not grieve as a result of developing doubts
that I who responds to the small and easy to practise UpAyam
of Prapatthi may not be approached easily or can not be trusted
or would not have compassion or be too independent to change my
mind . I am easily won over by your SaraNAgathy and am aasritha
sulabhan and DayALu . I stand as SiddhOpAyam ( the UpAyam
that exists already ) and therefore cast aside your sorrows based on
such doubts.

6. During your post-prapatthi period , please do not fear that  there
might be deficencies in the nithya-naimitthika karmAs done for
My preethi without expectation of any fruits . These karmAs are not
part of the group of   angams for SaraNAgathy and therefore any
imperfections associated with them due to kaala , dEsa varthamAnams .
The nithya karmAs should be done deficent or not .

7. Please do not sorrow over praayascchittha prapatthi performed
during the time of Prapatthi to avoid paapams accrued after Prapatthi .
It will not nullify your original prapatthi .

8. Please do not grieve over not doing Praayascchittha prapatthi for
paapams accrued knowingly and as  a result , you will suffer in
narakam . I remove those Paapams too for a prapannan ( details in
the 64th Paasuram of Desika Prabhnadham dealing with AparAdha
ParihAra adhikAram of AdhikAra Sangraham ) .

9. Oh Jeevan ! Please do not sorrow over residence in your Sariram ,
which is like naraka vAsam after Prapatthi. If you desire to get Moksha
Prapatthi due to aarTi , I will grant You release right away from
your sareeram .

10. I have vowed never to abandon a Prapannan. When there is
delay in MOksham as a result of adopting Dhruptha Prapatthi ,
you do not need to sorrow because there is no question about
the gaining fruit of MOksham. Please do not grieve that the PuNyam of
Prapatthi will be neutralized by the paapams accumulated knowingly
or unknowingly after the performance of Prapatthi .

11. Since You wished to have moksham at the end of this life ,
you may grieve that the paapams acquired during post-prapatthi
period would result in your rebirth in the karmic world. You will never
be reborn here and hence chase away that sorrow.

12. When you have performed unconditional Prapathti to Me
without expecting any fruits , all karmAs that stood in the way of your
moksham would have been destroyed . There will be no interferecnes
and time delays in gaining moksham due to distractions like Kaivalyam .

The sorrows that you may  entertain before and after Prapatthi are not
appropriate since You have recieved my full anugraham .Such sorrows
and worries are inappropriate given the glories of Prapatthi , my vow
to protect You and your status of placing full trust in Me as your
rakshakan . Therefore such acts on your part are expressions of your
immaturityand ignorance (avivEkam) . Abandon every one of the above
sorrows and feel assured that there is no basis for these worries of yours .

The full meaning of the Charama SlOkam
*******************************
Oh ChEthanam! Your Jn~Anam is insignificant (alpam).
Your sakthi is also limited. You live here for a limited time.
You are anxious to gain Moksham without delay. It is very
difficult for you to observe difficult upAyams such as Bhakthi yOgam
to gain Moksham. They will also grant the phalan after considerable
time delay . Therefore do not chase these frustrating  upAyams .
I am easily  accessible to one and all . I am the protector of all
the janthus of the world. I have the auspicious attributes befitting
My role as Jagath Rakshakan (Sarva lOka SaraNyan). Therefore
choose Me alone as UpAyam ( Maam yEkam SaraNam vraja).
Perform the Bhara NyAsam with its five aangams . After that upAya
anushtAnam , you will become krutha kruthyan ( one who has performed
his duty). You become thenthe object of My protection . You will become
very dear to Me. My compassion for You is limitless. I have started to
shower My grace on you. There are no restrictions to my independence.
The fruits of My intervention on your behalf belongs to Me alone.
My sankalpam alone is the sahakAri for my act of protection .
You have a wide variety of foes. Those are limitless. You can not ever
destroy them by yourself. I will destroy them down to their roots.
They wont follow you anymore. I will grant Me and Mine to you
and make you enjoy them on a par with Me ( Bhoga Saamyam).
When You engage in this ParipoorNa BrahmAnubhavam , I will
bless you with nithya kaimkaryam at all times and places .You do
not need to grieve over anything anymore.
