SrI: Sub: With reference to my previous email titled " SADDENING AND UNHEALTHY". ( which was a reply to sri sudarshan's " the one and the many" email) I thought I would give here the slokam of swami desikan that was mentioned in my previous mail. This is from paradevathapaaramaarthyaadhikaaram of Srimad Rahasya Traya Saram. "Athmaikyam daivathaikyam thrikasamadhigataa tulyataikyam trayANAm anyatraishvaryamithyAdhyanipuNa -phanithIrAdriyantE na santa: thraiyantairEkakantaistadanuguna-manu-vyAsa-mukyOkthibhishcha srImAnArayanO na: pathirAkilatanurmukthidO mukthabhOgya:" Meanings: Athmaikyam : " All atmaas are same only. there is no difference" daivathaikyam: : "All Gods are same" thrikasamadhigataa tulyata : " all the 3 mummoorthis are same w.r.t jnana and other qualities" trayAnAm ikyam: " all the 3 of the mumoorthies have same aathma swaroopam anyatraishvaryam: " there is someone else supreme than these 3 mumoorthis" ithyAdhi: all these words (of) anipuNa -phanithI : F O O L S na AdhriyanthE : will be discarded (by) santa: " those who can distinguish between sAram & asAram" (i.e by those who can distinguish the invaluable from junk) pause... Ekakantai: In one voice thraiyantai: Upanishads tadanuguna-manu-vyAsa-mukyOkthibhishcha : and the srisookthis of manu, vyasa which are consistent with upanishads ( asserts that) srimAn Narayana: " Sriman Narayana i.e srIvishishta narayanan or "agalagillEn iraiyumendru alarmElmangai uraimArbhan" AkilatanurmukthidO mukthabhOgya: (is the one who) has everything as His sharIram and the one who grants moksham and the one who is enjoyed by mukthAs. (also He is ) pathi : sEshI na: for us. This was the slokam of Swami Desikan that I was alluding to. So this shows that the "oneness theory" is non-sense as far as Vedantham and thus SrI Vedantha Desikan is concerned. So do not include him in the list of " mahAns" that u have mentioned. Stronger arguements against your philosophy can be found in Sri BhAshyam, Satadhooshani and ParamArtha Bhooshanam. ( All these are real nightmares for those belonging to the " oneness" school of thought) I request you not to take recourse to bits and pieces of my email to support a philosophy that does not belong to Sri Sampradayam.
