SrI:
Dear Sri VaishNavAs
:
It is with great pleasure
adiyEn is inviting Your attention to
the recent release of a
divine discourse on Pancha SamskAram
and SaraNAgathy by HH
SrimathE SrI Lakshminrisimha
Dhivya PaadhukA Sevaka
SrivaNN SaThakOpa Sri Narayana
Yatheendhra MahA Desikan ,
the Prakrutham Jeeyar of
AhObila Matam . This is a 43
minute long CD ROM that
is exemplary in the breadth
of coverage of these two
most important samskArams
that are " musts" in the life of
a Sri VaishNavan
.
PramANams from Sruthi ,
Dhivya Prabhandham
, Smrithis ,
PurANam and RakshA
granthams of AchAryAs are used abundantly
by Srimath Azhagiya Singar to help us gain a clear
understanding
of the fine points about
these two vital samskArams .
The deep thoughts
housed in this audio CD ROM with
revealing examples
form daily life makes it easy to grasp
the essence of these
two SamskArams and the central role they
play in a Sri
VaishNava's life .
Out of His infinite
compassion for us all , Srimath Azahgiya singar has
squeezed in the time
needed for this anugraha BhAshaNam by cutting
short His few hours of
daily nidhrA yogam . We are the beneficiaries .
This is a CD ROM that all
houses should have as a reference material.
The key points developed by
SrImath Azhagiya Singar in this CD ROM are :
(1) Recieving Pancha
SamskAram ( from an AchAryan ) alone confers
VaishNavathvam on any one ; just being born in a VaishNava
family
does not make one a VaishNavan . The
completion of the Pancha SamskAram
makes one a VaishNavan
and equips him with the prequisite for gaining
yOgyathai for performing
Bhagavath AarAdhanam . Srimath Azhagiya
Singar gave the lakshaNams of a
ParamaikAnthi and pointed out
that the Pancha samskAram is a
hethu for developing ParamaikAnthi
status among VaishNavAs
.
(2) Moksham can
not however be gained through Pancha SamskAram ,
although it confers on one
VaishNavathvam and qualifies him
to perform Bhagavath AarAdhanam
. Moksham can be gained only
through SaraNAgathy that has
been practised by AzhwArs and all of
our PoorvAchAryAs . AchArya RaamAnujA
has performed
SaraNAgathy
before the dhivya dampathis to show
us the way in
which SaraNAgathi
with its five angams should be
performed through His SaraNAgathy Gadhyam .
Seshathva Jn~Anam alone is not sufficent
for gaining Moksham . SaraNAgathy
is an absolutely essential samskAram
for a Mumukshu .
Srimath Azhagiya Singar
concludes this important CD ROM with four
appeals : (1) Nithya KarmAs
like SandhyA Vandhanam should be done
without fail (2) ParAnna
Niyamam ( Observing restrictions on eating anywhere
and every
where )
should be maintained (3) ParamaikAnthithvam
should be developed ( Utter
Faith in Lord alone as the sole upAyam
and not asking anything from
Him except the boon of Kaimkaryam to Him ) .
(4) Completing the two vital
samskArams of SamAsrayaNam ( Pancha
SamskAram) and
SaraNAgathy at the sacred feet of a SadAchAryan
and maintaining
the life of a Parapannan in the post-prapatthi period
.
This CD ROM can
be obtained from Ahobila Matam North America
soon
along with the
other CD ROM released at Kaanchipuram today on
RaamAnuja
Vaibhavam .
Latter was recorded at Melkote during the AchArya
RaamAnuja
Jayanthi
celebration there by Srimath Azhagiya Singar
.
Please
send adiyEn a note so that adiyEn can help you
acquire
these two audio
CD ROMs for Your family's home libraries .
