SrI: SrImathE Ramanujaya namah: Dearest all The sense organs have turned to enjoy Ramanuja and it is due to the jnAnam that he has blessed us with. The enemies or hurdles for that jnANam are the karmic diseases that have been removed by such a jnAnam and his grace. In the dhyAnam of Ramanuja, it is equal thus to Narasimhan?s destruction of HiraNyakasipu effortlessly [as Ramanuja has destroyed the paapams]. vaLarnthaveNG kOta matangalon Raay,anRu vaaLavuNan kiLarnthapon Nnaakam kiziththavan keerththip payirezunthu viLainthitum chinthai iraamaa NnuchanenRan meyvinainNOy kaLainthun^an NYaanam aLiththanan kaiyiR kaniyennavE. 103 In order to bless Bhaktha Prahalada, the Lord appeared as Narasimha and grew so ferociously with anger to destroy HiraNyakasipu. He tore open the chest of HiraNyakasipu effortlessly and killed him to save his prime disciple. This Naraisinga moorthy?s glories are further growing in the fertile field of Paramcharya Ramanuja?s heart. The karma bandhams due to this sareera sambandham and the samsaaric sorrows thereby are removed by this most merciful Ramanuja who is ParamadhayALu. It is distinctly visible and crystal clear that his grace and the jnAnam [about jeevathmA and its eternal relationship to the Lord] that he has blessed me with is the reason for the removal of all my paapams. My love for him is the iota of what he has done to me so mercifully. anRu ? during that day- when Prahlada was troubled and tortured vaLarndha ?that grew due to the apacharam committed to his ardent devotee who had prayed for Him always vemkOpam ? with the terrific anger madangal onRu aay-came out the most brilliant Narasimhan vaaL avuNan ? HiraNyakasipu with his sword and spear kiLarndha- rose to fight pon aagam- and his strong chest was kizhitthavan ? torn open with His [Narasimha?s] sharp nails- such greatest Narayanan?s keertthi payir yezhundhu- the fields of His keertthi began to flourish viLaindhidum ? in the fertile place of chinthai Ramanuja ? the heart of ParamAcharya Ramanuja enthan mey vinai nOi ? the karmic diseases that linger in my sareeram kaLaindhu- are removed from the roots kaiyin kani ena- visibly blessed me jnAnam aLitthanan- with paripoorNa jnAnam EmperumAnAr always contemplates on the glories of the Lord in his heart and that is the fertile field where such glories of the Lord grow and thereby manifest everywhere. For the field to grow in the heart- the hurdles are: karmic diseases. The weeds that have grown around start to engulf the whole field and eat the same for the destruction. Thus the weeds are to be removed. BrahmajnAnam was not born and hence UpakOsala the sishya refused to eat when Acharya pathni asked him to eat. bhahavO mE nAnAthyayA: kAmA: | vyADhibhi: prathipoorNO(S)smi | nAhamSishyAmi? kAmam, kRodham, etc are the reasons for the destruction ?says Upanishad herein. Thus vishaya moham [desire after sensual pleasures] and the diseases arising out of them are integrated. Vishayam leads to visham [poison] for our destruction. Such samsaaric afflictions are removed from the jnAnam about the Jeevathma and its eternal relationship to the Lord as His eternal servant and being nithya niroopadhika ananhaarya sEshan and vivEkam [discrimination]. Such jnAnam is blessed to us and granted to us by the most merciful Acharya and his sadupadEsam. It is crystal clear that only such jnAnam is the reason for all the clarity and subsequent to performance of Prapatti at the lotus feet of acharyan. Thus, like the heart of Prahalada, Ramanuja?s heart also had tremendous bhakti for Lord Sriman Narayanan and the glories of the Lord begin to grow in all others? hearts as well thereby due to the grace of Ramanuja.
