SrI:
The Upanishads celebrate the five guNams of Sriman
NaarAyaNa ( Para Brahman)
as : Sathyathvam , Jn~Anathvam , Ananthathvam ,
Aanandhathvam and Amalathvam.
When one comprehends the Lord through these five
guNams ( auspicious
attributes) , one can recognize His Sarva
VilakshaNathvam ( being different
than all chEtanams and achEtanams) . These are the
Svaroopa Niroopaka
dharmams for the lakshaNam(defining marks) of
Iswaran . Our AchAryAs
( Swamy AlavanthAr and Udayavar ) have underlined the bhEdams
( differences) between Iswaran and the other two tattvams ( ChEtanams and
achEtanams):
" SvAdheena thrividha chEtanAchEtana svaroopa
sTithi pravrutthi bhEdam"
Swamy Desikan's Srimath Rahasya Thraya Saaram
and other rahasya
granthams do not cite Upanishad /Sruthi Vaakyams as
PramANams for
these five guNams ,
which one would normally expect . He cites instead
AzhwAr's aruLiccheyalkaLs as Tamizh MaRaikaL (
Tamil Vedams).Since
members of all the four varNams (Men and Women )
can study these
rahasya granthams , Srimath Azhagiya Singar
concludes that Swamy
Desikan Quoted the divine pasurams of AzhwArs as
the clinching PramAnams .
We must remember that Swamy Desikan defended twice
the equality of
Tamil Vedams with the Sanskrit Sruthis , once at
Kaanchi and another time
at Srirangam in front of BhagavAn
. The Lords of Kaanchi and
Srirangam approved the defense of Tamil MaRais by
Swamy Desikan , that Samskrutha Upanishad as well as
DhramidOpanishad are celebrating the same Brahma
Svaroopam Srimath Azhagiya Singar ( HH the 45th Pattam
Srimath Azhagiya Singar ) gives plenty of instances that
connect the Svaroopa Niroopaka dharmams of Brahman
celebrated in Sruthi Vaakyams to their counterparts in
AzhwAr's aruLiccheyalkaL to illustrate the links between
the two VedAnthams. adiyEn will cover these aspects
in subsequent postings.
