SrI: Dear SrI VaradarAja BhakthAs : Today , we will study few of the Paasurams of Thirumanthira Churukku . PraNavam is the mudhal Paadham of AshtAksharam . PraNavam itself is made up of three yezhutthukaL ( AkAram , UkAram and MakAram ). 293. PraNavam: The Meaning behind AkAram of PraNavam *********************************************** naa alar maRai naal onRu nalam thihazh maRai onRu OrAthu aavalippu alaikkum mOhatthu azhundhi ninRu alamarhinReer thU valam puriyA onRil tuvakkamAm vaNNam onRAl kAval yenRu Akaratthu avvAik-karutthuRak-kANmin neerE (Meaning): PraNavam alone is the essence of all VedAs. When one understands its true meaning (from AchAryAs) , the svaroopam of the Lord (SrIman NaarAyaNa) and the Jeevan , which in turn leads to the destruction of Ahankaara-MamakArams ; that destruction results in getting across the ocean of SamsAram and arriving at the other bank of SamsAram , SrI Vaikuntam . Oh ChEthanams , who do not have that good fortune ! When you write PraNavam on an aadharam ( on paper, slate et al) , it will resemble the Conch with the right side twist ( Valampuri Sankhu).The first letter of PraNavam is AkAram . In Sanskrit , that first letter represents the verb "avv" (viz) performing protection . According to VyAkaraNa Saasthram , the fourth case associated in a hidden manner with AkAram denotes the Sarava Rakshakan , SrIman NaarAyaNan. Therefore that "AkAram " instructs us to meditate on the Sarava Rakshaka Prabhu , the Lord. 294. The meaning behind the fourth case ( Chathrutrthi Vibhakthi) *************************************************** iLakkamin mayakkam tannAl yAnn yenakku uriyanyennum kaLakkarutthu onRE koNDu kadu narahu adainthu ninReer! viLakkum avvezhutthil nAlAm vERRumai yERRi vaangit- tuLakkamil adimai pooNDu thUyarAi vaazhminErE (Meaning): Oh ChEthanams ! For time immemorial , you have been steeped in false knowledge and ignorance (ajn~Anam) and are sinking in SamsAric ocean as a aresult of your conviction that your Aaathma svaroopam is independent and fail to recognize that your Jeevan is forever a servant (sEshan) of the Lord (Sarva SEshi) .The fourth vibhakthi that became ascendant on the AkAram representing the Lord' Svaroopam as Your Master is present now in a hidden manner . The meaning of that fourth case is adimai (sEshithvam) to the Lord .Therefore , please comprehend and put in to practise the doctrine that you are the servant to the Sarvarakshakan , the Lord. As a result of that newly gained knowledge , your egotism will be banished and you will be uplifted from the mire of samsAric afflictions . 295. The Meaning of UkAram ************************* apporuL ihanthu maRRum azhitthu yezhuvAr thALil ipporuL ihanthavan pAll irangineer vaNangi veenzhhteer upporuL uLLi maRROr uyir tanakku urimai mARRi yepporuL payanum eethu yenRu yeNNIneer yezhumineerE (Meaning): It is the proper thing that you perform SaraNAgathi to the Lord , who stands as the meaning of AkAram .As a result , you will be blessed with lofty fruits like Kaimkaryams. As you acquire the mahA Paapam by not doing your SaraNAgahty , you are disheartened , enter the never ending cycles of births and deaths and end up worsening your situation by falling at the feet of powerless insignificant gods . You drown further in to samsAric ocean. Let me instruct you on another aspect of the second letter of PraNavam , UkAram . In its meaning , it stands for its power to reject all other sambhandhams ( links). When the Lord , the AkAra Vaacchyan is associated with UkAram for the purposes of comprehending the meaning of that union of the two letters , the doctrine of the jeevan never being servant to any one except the Lord becomes evident . Please firm up this meaning in your minds and get uplifted from all othe rdebilitatiing false sAsthrams and anushtAnams. 296. Another Meaning for UkAram ***************************** yenRum ohr Odham inRi Iravium oLiyum pOla onRi ninRu ulahu aLikkum uham idinthu adimai vaittheer onRu moonRu yezhutthAi onRum onRil onRudaya munnE onRiya iraNDai uLLi uLar yena uyminneerE (Meaning): It is but natural for the Sun and His radiance to be united together . Similarly , EmperumAn and PirAtti are together always and protect the world. They are never away from each other even for a fraction of a second. It is essential that you consider yourself as the bonded servants of both EmperumAn and His PirAtti always . Oh chEthanams that consider only the Lord as Your Master and ignore the yEka sEshithvan of the divine couple ! Pleasedo not seperate the two Tatthvams ! The yEkAksharam PraNavam is a Padham with three aksharams inside it. The third aksharam is MakAram . AkAram amd UkAram precede the MakAram. UkAram also refers to PirAtti just as AkAram refers to EmperumAn .May you all become the bonded servants to the Dhivya damapthis representd by AkAram and UkAram and fulfill the purpose of your births and gain the Parama PurushArTam ! 297. The Meaning of MakAram ************************** Tatthuvam aRunAnkOdu tani iRai anRi ninRa chitthinai uNarAthu yenRum tiraL thohayAhi ninReer ! Matthanai tani vidAthE mayyilA viLakkam aaki utthaman adimyAna uyir nilai uNarmineerE ! (Meaning): Jeevan is different from the 24 Tatthuvams represented by Prakruthi , MahAn , ahankAram , eleven indhriyams , five tanmAthrangaLs and five bhUthams.This Jeevan is also different from Iswaran . Oh ChEthanams wallowing in the mud of SamsAram deluded by the thought that the Jeevan's svaroopam -- which is distinct from achEthanam and Iswaran -- is the same as the SarIram , the assembly of the pancha bhUthams and the Indhriyams ! Oh ChEthanams! Please do not lose your wisdom anymore due to such grand delusions . Do not make this mistake anymore of treating Jeevan , the meaning of MakAram , as an independent one outside the ownership of the Lord and His PirAtti . Please understand that the Jeevan is Jn~Ana Svaroopan and has Jn~Anam as its attribute ( guNam) and its svaroopam is totally subservient to the dhivya dampathis to gain salvation . MakAram arises from the verb "mann " meaning both Jn~Ana svaroopam and Jn~Anam as GuNam for the jeevan . MakAram can also be derived from the verb "Mass" meaning a measure or limit. Through other pramAnams , MakAram can be connected to atomic sized jeevan. This Jeevan with atomic size stands in contrast with Iswaran , the Vibhu , who pervades everywhere . Oh ChEthanams ! When you comprehend clearly the meaning of PraNavam , your delusion about aathmA ( Jeevan ) being SarIram ( the assembly of pancha bhUthams and eleven indhriyams) will be gone. The avivEkam ( the ignorance) that JeevAthmA as an independent one controlling its own destiny (Svatanthran) will be banished and the jeevan will recognize that it is sesham ( servant and dependent) to the Lord and this vivEkam will rush it towards Moksham .
