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 ...
