Swamy Deshikan Thiruvadigale Sharanam !!!

Dear Bhagavathas,

Sriman Shathakopa thathacharya swamy of Kanchipuram, who is the trustee of
Thooppul Vedantha Desikar Charitable Trust has forwarded the following
appeal to the internet fraternity requesting participation in the
Nityaradhana kainkaryam for Thuppul Deshikan and Marakathavalli Nayika
sametha Sri Deepaprakasha Perumal at the temple in Thuppul Kanchipuram. (All
translation errors are adiyen's).

============================================================================
====
- From Sriman Shathakopa thathacharya -
 
It may be a question asking as to how one, by participating in this kainkaryam, 
may benefit 
from the fruits of the performance of rituals like Ayushyahomam and others. In 
the event of 
worshipping demigods like Indra and others, seeking the fruits of wellbeing and 
longevity, 
without realising that they have a body soul relationship with the Lord, the 
worship is 
recieved not by the demigods but by the Lord Himself who is their indweller. 
This has been 
attested to by the statement "yetvanyadevatA bhaktA yajante shraddhayAnvita: | 
tepi mAmeva 
kaunteya yajantyavidhipUrvakam||". Even if one devotes himself to the demigods 
with 
sincerity, they still will be effecting the worship of the Lord alone. But they 
would be 
totally unaware of this fact. But since the intent is different, the fruits of 
attainment 
are also different. Knowing well that the demigods like Indra and others are 
the body of the 
Lord and if they are worshipped with a desire of obtaining abundance of food 
and wealth, 
then such a desire will come to fruition. Having known thus, if the devotees 
seek the Lord 
Himself directly, then there is no place for even the faintest of doubts in 
such a desire 
coming to fruition. In Bhagavat Geetha, the Lord quotes many seekers - one who 
wishes to 
reclaim his lost wealth, one who wishes to experience atmanubhavam, one who 
wishes to be 
bestowed with new wealth. As per this, the Lord may be prayed not only for 
attaining the 
supreme fruit moksham, but for attaining the lesser fruits also. 
 
The deeds of performing tadiyaradhanam keeping in mind some fruit may be 
attained by 
performing the nityaradhanam to the Lord. One may participate in this 
kainkaryam with fruits 
of desire in mind. At the same time, one may also participate in the 
nityaradhana kainkaryam of the Lord and our acharya sarvabhoumar, seeking no 
fruits. But this act will also bestow fruits of noble deeds on the performer. 
The pramanam here is the statement from Vishnudharmam quoted by Swamy Deshika - 
"sharIrArogya ... nityamapavargaprado hari:" - the Lord bestows wellbeing even 
without the bidding of the seeker. Swamy also quotes Kulashekarazwar's words - 
"ninnaiyEthAn vENdi ... chelvampOla". Even if the Lord Himself is sought alone 
without the desire for any other attainments, wellbeing also comes in 
naturally. 
 
Devotees may therefore participate in this nityaradhana kainkaryam without 
seeking any 
fruits thereof or even with a specific desire in mind and be recipient of the 
benevolence of 
the Lord. 

To be contd ...
