SrI:
Dear BhakthAs of Swamy Desikan :
(931) (PraNavam) BhakthividhyA siddha hEthu prarOchana
karathvagnE nama:
(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who refuted the view that
Bhakthi yOgam is contrary to gaining MOksham . He did not agree
with those , who stated that SaasthrAs recommended Bhakthi yOgam
as UpAyam for a limited few , only to enhance their faith in Saasthrams.
Swamy Desikan held the view that Bhakthi yOgam is one of the two upAyams
for Moksham , although it is not as easy to practise as SaraNAgathy .
SaasthrAs clearly state that Bhakthi yOgam is one of the UpAyams
for those who desire Moksham and Sriman NaarAyaNan is the Moksha
phalam granting SiddhOpAyam . There can not therefore any objection to
Bhakthi as an UpAyam .
(932) (PraNavam) BhakthividhyA sishtalOkaa parigraha
nivArakAya nama:
(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who refuted
the view that PoorvAchAryAs ( Sishta lOkam ) did not
accept Bhakthi yOgam as a fititng saadhanai for Moksham .
Sage ParAsara practised Bhakthi Yogam . Swamy AlavanthAr ,
EmperumAnAr , KurEsar , Swamy Desikan had the highest reverence
for Sage Paraasara , the father of VyAsa Bhagavaan for blessing us
with VishNu PurANam . To declare that Sage ParAsarA's anushtAnam
is Svaroopa Viruddham ( against our Svaroopam ) is wrong .
(933) (PraNavam) BharanyAsAdhi sakla-kAla dharmathva
bhanjanAya nama:
(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who refuted the view that
the anushtAnam of Bhakthi yOgam for Moksha Siddhi is not relevant for
Kali yugam .
(Comments): There is a view that SaraNAgathy ( Prapatthi yOgam )
and Naama Sankeerthanam alone are appropriate to observe for
Moksham . Bhakthi yOgam is rejected as an upAyam in Kali yugam .
Swamy Desikan refuted this argument . He held the view that
Bhakthi and Prapatthi yOgams are valid routes for Moksham
at all times . Even in this Kali yugam , there have been qualified
souls like Swamy NaaTa Muni , who practised Bhakthi yOgam
successfully . When Naama Sankeerthanam is suggested
by some as an UpAyam , it is intended to highlight the importance of
the glory of singing about the Lord's names and NOT FOR
deemphasizing Prapatthi and Bhakthi yOgam as the two
accepted upAyams for gaining Moksham . Prapatthi and
Bhakthi yOgams are theMoksha Dharmam for all yugams.
" BharanyAsAdhi Sakala Kaala dharmathva SaadhakAya
Nama: " is the homage to Swamy Desikan by the author of
DEsika Sahasra Naamams . The aadhi sabdham here refers to
Bhakthi yOgam .
(934) (PraNavam) NyAsa PrasamsakAya Nama:
(Meaning ): Salutations to that AchAryan , who sang about
the glories of BharanyAsam , which makes one Krutha Kruthyan
( One who has completed all that he has to do in this earth) .
Swamy Desikan saluted the one who has completed BharanyAsam
as "Seytha vELvian " (AzhwAr's Vaakyam : one who has been
blessed to perform the Prapatthi Yaagam successfully) and
as one who has attained the stage of NairapEshyam ( Stage,
where one does not expect anything else in this world as a result of
completing Prapatthi Yaagam ).
(935) (PraNavam) NyAsa BhakthyAdhikya pradarsakAya Nama :
(Meaning ): Salutations to the AcxhAryan , who showed that
BharanyAsam is more laudable than Bhakthi yOgam because of
the ease of performing Prapatthi and the swiftness with which
it assures the Phalan of Moksha Siddhi . Prapatthi is powerful
to protect one , who could not hope to undertake the ardous
and tardy-to-execute Bhakthi yOgam .That is why , Prapatthi
yOgam is hailed as being superior to Bhakthi yOgam .
