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 -

The befitting way to perform Nitya kainkaryam - As per our sampradayam, a
seeker should follow the practice of either Bhakti or Prapatti in order to
attain the eternal bliss of beatitude. If anything material is sought after,
then it does not become Purushartham. Also as per the statement, "aprArthito
na gOpayEt | saMsAratantravAhnitvAt rakShApEkShAM pratIkShate" it is
necessary for us to seek a supreme goal where the Lord Himself is the fruit
of attainment. Out of this, Swamy Deshikan elucidates that Prapatti is the
simplest and easiest means of attaining the supreme fruit and should
therefore be practiced by every seeker. Moreover we need to choose the means
of Prapatti as we are totally incapable of performing the other upayam of
bhaktiyogam. Swamy in the Uttara krutyadhikaram of his Srimath
rahasyatrayasaram has detailed the post prapatti duties of a Srivaishnava.
Swamy says that it is one of the primeval duties of a disciple to remember
the first glance of anugraham that was recieved from his acharya. At the
birth place of such an acharya and the place where he and the Lord he
extolled dwell, this is a rare opportunity to perform nityaradhanams to
them. 

Sharanagati is something that should be practiced once only. This is the
simplest of practices it is said. Similarly speaking of this kainkaryam, it
is indeed sufficient even if one family participates in it let alone every
individual. Our only prayer is that the nityaradhanam of our Swamy and his
Swamy be conducted without any impediments. We reqest those who have not
participated so far to participate and recieve the blessings of our Swamy
and his Swamy.

Moreover by participating in this nityaradhana kainkaryam, one may reap
three-fold fruits. They being Bhagavat Aradhanam, Bhaagavatha-Acharya
Aradhanam and Tadeeyaaradhanam or aiding the noble archakas and
parichaarakas. Swamy talks about the greatness of bhaagavta kainkaryam in
purushartha kashtadhikaram. Swamy says "Bhaagavatha sheshatvam included,
Bhagavat sheshatvam is the natural essential characteristic of a jeeva.
Therefore bhaagavtha kainkaryam and bhagavath kainkaryam is the complete
fruit of attainment. Without performance of bhaagavatha kainkaryam, the
complete fruit is therefore not attained. Having done service to bhagavathas
like the archaka parichaarakas, the question of the fruits due its
performance does not arise. Moreover as per the phrase "yaja dEvapUjAyAM"
thiruvaradhanam to Emperuman is like a yajnam. Provided the Ritviks are
given dakshinai, only then the performance attains completion. By being of
service to the archakas also, the yagam of this nityaradhanam attains
fruition.

To be contd ...
