Swamy Deshikan Thiruvadigale Sharanam !!!
Dear Bhagavathas,
Sriman Shathakopa thathacharya swamy of Kanchipuram, who is the trustee of
Thooppul Vedantha Desikar Charitable Trust has forwarded the following
appeal to the internet fraternity requesting participation in the
Nityaradhana kainkaryam for Thuppul Deshikan and Marakathavalli Nayika
sametha Sri Deepaprakasha Perumal at the temple in Thuppul Kanchipuram. (All
translation errors are adiyen's).
============================================================================

- From Sriman Shathakopa thathacharya -
It may be a question asking as to how one, by participating in this kainkaryam,
may benefit
from the fruits of the performance of rituals like Ayushyahomam and others. In
the event of
worshipping demigods like Indra and others, seeking the fruits of wellbeing and
longevity,
without realising that they have a body soul relationship with the Lord, the
worship is
recieved not by the demigods but by the Lord Himself who is their indweller.
This has been
attested to by the statement "yetvanyadevatA bhaktA yajante shraddhayAnvita: |
tepi mAmeva
kaunteya yajantyavidhipUrvakam||". Even if one devotes himself to the demigods
with
sincerity, they still will be effecting the worship of the Lord alone. But they
would be
totally unaware of this fact. But since the intent is different, the fruits of
attainment
are also different. Knowing well that the demigods like Indra and others are
the body of the
Lord and if they are worshipped with a desire of obtaining abundance of food
and wealth,
then such a desire will come to fruition. Having known thus, if the devotees
seek the Lord
Himself directly, then there is no place for even the faintest of doubts in
such a desire
coming to fruition. In Bhagavat Geetha, the Lord quotes many seekers - one who
wishes to
reclaim his lost wealth, one who wishes to experience atmanubhavam, one who
wishes to be
bestowed with new wealth. As per this, the Lord may be prayed not only for
attaining the
supreme fruit moksham, but for attaining the lesser fruits also.
The deeds of performing tadiyaradhanam keeping in mind some fruit may be
attained by
performing the nityaradhanam to the Lord. One may participate in this
kainkaryam with fruits
of desire in mind. At the same time, one may also participate in the
nityaradhana kainkaryam of the Lord and our acharya sarvabhoumar, seeking no
fruits. But this act will also bestow fruits of noble deeds on the performer.
The pramanam here is the statement from Vishnudharmam quoted by Swamy Deshika -
"sharIrArogya ... nityamapavargaprado hari:" - the Lord bestows wellbeing even
without the bidding of the seeker. Swamy also quotes Kulashekarazwar's words -
"ninnaiyEthAn vENdi ... chelvampOla". Even if the Lord Himself is sought alone
without the desire for any other attainments, wellbeing also comes in
naturally.
Devotees may therefore participate in this nityaradhana kainkaryam without
seeking any
fruits thereof or even with a specific desire in mind and be recipient of the
benevolence of
the Lord.
To be contd ...
