Dear BhakthAs of Swamy Desikan :
Today , we will study Swamy Desikan's criticism of
Yoga Matham .
191) Refutation of Yoga Matham
*****************************
thAvib-bhuvnangaL thALiNai soottiya Tanthai unthip-
poovinil piRakkinum bhUthangaL yellAm puNartthidinum
naavil pirivinRi nAmangai vaazhinum nAnmaRayil
bhAvithathu anRi uraippathu pARum padhartthiraLE
(meaning): Yoga Matham was promulgated by Chathurmukha
BrahmA, who is the first-born son of SrIman NaarAyaNan
born in the Lotus arising from the navel of the Lord . Even if
Brahma were to be born as the son of SarvEswaran and given
the boon of creating the world and being the husband of Saraswathi,
his doctrines linked to Yoga Matham are fruitless husks without
any substance.
192) Yoga Matham: Variations in Tatthva-Hitha-PurushArTams
*************************************************
KaaraNanAi ulahu aLikkum KaNNan tEsaik-
kaNNAdi nizhal pOlak-kANNkayAlum
DhAraNayin mudivAna samAthi tannait-
tanakkERRum viLakkenRu tanikkaiyAlum
kAraNamAm athu tanakku payanAm seevan
kai valiya nilai yenRu kaNikkayAlum
kOraNiyin kOlamenak-kuRikkalAhum
kOkanahatthu ayan kooRum samayak-kURRE
(meaning): In Yoga Matham , the tatthva Thrayams of
Prakruthi, Jeevan and Iswaran are accepted . This matham
states that Iswaran's anantha kalyANa guNams established
by the VedAs are not natural . The image that one sees in
the mirror is due to the real object standing across it . Similarly,
in the mirror of Lord , the reason for the images of the GuNams
to appear is because of their links to chethanams and achEthanams
with true guNams. Yoga Matham unfortunately emphasizes Jeevan's
SaakshAthkAram over BhagavAn's SaakshAthkAram. In other words ,
Yoga Matham takes the position that Kaivalyam (Jeeva SaakshAthkAram )
is the desirable end result of Bhakthi Yogam and not Bhagavathanubhavam
in MOksha dasai. The enjoyment of Jeevan without admixture of achEthanam
is the central doctrine of Yoga Matham and is totally the opposite
position of VisishtAdhvaitha Darsanam . Thus Yoga Matham is
diametrically opposite in Tatthvam , Hitham and PurushArTam from
the VisishtAdhvaitha Darsanam and is in conflict with Veda PramANams ,
while declaring to believe in Vedic doctrines. This matham is a crowd
pleaser
and is like the dance of the buffon.
Additional Notes: Swamy Desikan condemns this Matham and describes
his approach as ViruddhAviruddhaamsa VibhAgam . Viruddham means
conflict (VirOdham ) . Brahma Is the direct son of the Lord and
the husband of the goddess of Learning , Saraswathi Devi . He knows
the meanings of the four Vedams that he recites thanks to the anugraham
of his Father. Inspite of all these pluses , he imagines things which are
not embraced by the VedAs and creates the Yoga Matham with strange
doctrines as though he (Brahma) is engaged in an amusing dance for fools.
Yoga Matham hints at Iswara Svaroopam , hides it and engages in
the enjoyment of JeevAthma Svaroopam (JeevAthma Kaivalyam ) ,
which is Veda Viruddham . Our Lord is Sarva Vidha KaaraNan
( reason for Creation , Sustenance and dissolution of the Universe).
His Iswaryam is real and the Yoga Matham depicts that real
Iswaryam like it is an image in the mirror.The author of Brahma
Soothrams says for all these reasons that Yoga Matham has
to be cast aside ( yEthEna yOga: prathyuktha: ) .He says that
Yoga Matham has to be rejected like NirIswara Saankhya Matham.
