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.
