Sri:
Dear Sriman KrishNa TatachAr:
1)When AchArya of the stature of
Swamy Desikan blesses us
with a SrI Sookthi ( SthOthram here ) , He
is thinking more of us ,
who do not have the VairAgyam , Jn~Anam and
yet seek from
the most compassionate Varam tarum
Varadarajan this worldly
sulhams ( all the three other
PurushArTams ) . Swamy incorporates
the bheejAksharams and Mantrams inside
these sthOthra Granthams .
Chathur VarNatthAr , women , Men , Children
can recite them
without upadEsam from AchAryans as in the
case of esoteric
mantrams . There is no anadhikAri as a
result .Such is the vastness
of the Dayaa of our AchAryan
.
2. Swamy Desikan's AchAryan was ApuLLAr ( That srEshta
bird,
Garudan , who carries the Lord , Gardan ) .
Swamy recieved mantropadEsam
(Garuda MantrOpadEsam ) from His AchAryan
and arrived at
Thiruvahendhrapuram to recite Garuda
Mantram on Oushadha Giri
and gained siddhi : SaakshAthkAram of
Garuda BhagavAn and
the Yoga Hayagreva Murthy for His
AarAdhanam . SthOthrams
on Garuda and HayagrIva are
acknowledgement of
the indebtedness of Dwamy Desikan to these
two Mantra Moorthys .
3. Garuda DaNDakam and Garuda PanchAsath
are for protection
against snakes , scorpions and other
poisonous animals . This
Swamy Desikan blessed for us
.
4. By the age of 20 , Swamy Desikan
had mastered the VedAntham
Saasthrams , VisishtAdhvaitham's doctrines
inluding Bhagavat GeethA .
He blessed us with Taathparya Chandrika ,
the brilliant annotated
commentary on AchArya Raamanuja's GeethA
BhAshyam , which
itself takes off from Swamy
AlawandAr's GeethArTa Sangraham .
Swamy also blessed us with
the Tamil Prabhandham of
GeethArTa Sangraham .Hence , Swamy
intrepreted and taught
the mesage of Bhagavath GitA (18.66) and
wrote many elaborations on
our Lord's Charama SlOkam in His
Prabhandhams and ChullaRai
rahasyams .
5. he Ahobilavalli and SundaraSimham Teams
have put together number of
e-books on these subjects . As a
Member of the Team , Dr.Saroja Ramanujam
with her facile and scholarly wriitngs is
assembling the Garuda PanchAsath
as one of the e-books for Ahobilavalli
. We will combine it with the audio
on Sri Garuda PanchAsath and Tamil Text (
Trnsltion ) by Sri Anbil
SrinivAsan of New Delhi
.

Subject: Re: [divya_desam] Garudapanchasath-sloka20 Translations and explanations of the rhythmic and complex
Garudapanchasath
of Swami Deshikan has been a feast. But makes me wonder, why Swami Deshikan is asking GaruDa what the Lord has already promised (BG18:66)? dAsan KST -----Original Message----- From: sarojram18 <sarojram18@xxxxxxxxx> To: divya_desam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Mon, 3 Dec 2007 8:47 pm Subject: [divya_desam] Garudapanchasath-sloka20 20. aaraath

Garuda, who
like the Manthara mountain with wings, Airavatha and
Ucchaisravas rise up against, made Indra agitated with the
tumult of his movement left and right in every direction,
rolling his eyes seeking nectar while the devas were looking on,
manifest prosperity for us for a long
time.
In this sloka
Garuda is compared to the Manthara mountain with all the adjectives used being
appropriate for both.
Airavatha which arose from the ocean while the
Manthara mountain was being churned, aaraath utThitha airaavatham,
also rose against Garuda
UcchaiSravas rose with great speed
against Garuda as he emerged out of the
ocean, amitha java udhanchath
ucchaisravaskam.
Garuda
was flying left and right, savya
apasavyam, in all directions, dhisi dhisi braamyan, and agitated
jaatha kshobham , Indra, dhivishathvaahineesam, the master
of the army of the devas. The word dhivishad means devas who reside in
the heaven, dhivi.
The
Manthara mountain was being churned, vimaThnan, right
and left and agitated the ocean, vaahineesa, who
is also dhivishadeesa, the Lord of
Ganges, who is referred to as dhivishad, residing in
the heavens.
Prenkhathnethra, on the part of Garuda means rolling eyes
and on the part of Manthara denotes Vasuki, used as the churning rope, the word
nethra having the meaning of the rope of a churning
stick.
Nah Sriyam
praktayathu â Like the
Manthara which caused the manifestation of Sri, Goddess Lakshmi, may Garuda
fetch Sri to us also.
