SrI: Dear BhakthAs of Swamy Desikan : With the 926th Sahasra Naamam , Thirukkudanthai Desikan shifts His attention to SaadhyOpAya sOdhanAdhikAram of Srimath Rahasya Thrayam of Swamy Desikan . SiddhOpAyam is the eternal Sriman NaarAyaNan , who is ready to grant MOksham for one who performs either the Bhakthi or Prapatthi Yogam . It is an UpAyam that exists beore we can engage in Bhakthi or Prapatthi yOgam . This SiddhOpAyam is a cardinal one among the UpAyams . SaadhyOpAyam is one , which can be pursued by us , the chEthanams for gaining Moksham from the ever merciful SiddhOpAyan , who is waiitng for us to approach Him with the request for rakshaNam . This upAyam is Saadhyam ( doable ) for us . The SaadhyOpAyams of Bhakthi and Prapatthi remove the anger of the Lord over our trespasses and create anugraha sankalpam towards us. Swamy DEsikan describes the SarvalOKa SaraNyan granting Moksha Sukham for those who perform Bhakthi or Prapatthi yOgam (SaadhyOpAyam ) this way : YaTAdhikaraNam Prabhu: yajana dhAna hOmArchana BHARANYAASA bhAvanA prabhruthibhi: SamArAdhitha: Phalam disathi dehinAmithi hi sampradhAya sTithi: Sruthi-Smruthi-GurUkthibhi: nayavatheebhi: aabhAthi na: (Meaning ) : The Lord , who is powerful to grant us the Phalan of Moksham becomes pleased with the performance of karmaas prescribed for their own VarNAsramams such as Yaagam , DhAnam , Homam , archanai , Prapatthi anushtAnam or Bhakthi yOgam and blesses the embodied ones release from the cycles of births and deaths . This fundamental truth about the state of our SampradhAyam becomes clear to us through the pramANams linked to Vedam , Smruthi and AchArya Sri Sookthis . ( Among these upAyams , all irrespective of VarnAsramam , gender , age are eligible to perform the SaadhyOpAyam of Prapatthi to recieve the Lord's anugraham ). It is very important for us to gain a clear comprehension of the Svaroopam of Prapatthi as one of the two SaadhyOpAyams for Moksha Siddhi . There are a lot of confusions about its true nature . In this SaadhyOpAya AdhikaraNam , Swamy Desikan refers to the many criticisms against Prapatthi and answers them all to our full satisfaction as the most compassionate AchAryan . During this process, Swamy Desikan chases away all of our confusions about Prapatthi and its power . Swamy Desikan defines SaraNAgathy ( Prapatthi , BharanyAsam ) as the total belief ( MahA ViswAsam ) expressed through the utterance of Dhvaya manthram to gain the cool shade of the sacred feet of Sriman NaarAyaNan accompanied by Sri Devi : NaarAyaNam SalakshmIkam prApthum taccharaNadhvayam upAya ithi viswAso dhvayArTa: SARANAAGATHY The CharaNa Dhvayam ( the pair of feet of the Lord ) is reached by the performance of the anushtAnam/upAyam of SaraNAgathy through the utterance of the dhvya manthram . Swamy Desikan quotes the Mugdhaka Vaakyam of AchArya RaamAnuja about the defenition of Prapatthi in this context of SaadhyOpAyam : "Prapatthir-ViswAsa: , sakruth prArTanA-mAthrENa apEkshitham dhAsyatheethi ViswAsa-poorvakam prArTanAmithi yaavath " (Meaning ): Prapatthi is ViwAsam (i-e)., SarvalOka SaraNyan will grant what we seek through the prayer performed only once with MahA ViswAsam . Swamy Desikan quotes in SaadhyOpAya sOdhanAdhikAram , the utterance of Bharatha Muni on the nature of Prapatthi as a SaadhyOpAyam directed to the competent and powerful SiddhOpAyan , SarvEswaran : ananyasAdhyE svAbheeshDE MahA-viswaasa poorvakam tadhEkOAyathA yaancchA PRAPATTHI : SARANAAGATHY : (Meaning ): When one recognizes that the desired phalan is unrealizable through approaching others ( incompetent ones) , then one performs Prapatthi , which is nothing but prayer to One with full faith and requesting that truly powerful One to serve as the UpAyam for protection . That is the act of Prapatthi/SaraNAgathy . Thirukkudanathai Desikan , who is considered as an incarnation of Swamy Desikan (born some 300 years ago) Summarizes in 27 Desika Sahasra NaamAs the central messages of SaadhyOpAya SodhanAdhikaaram of Srimath Rahasya Thraya Saaram . Before adiyEn covers these 27 Sahasra Naamams , adiyEn will translate Dr.V.N.VedAntha Desikan's Tamil Summary of SiddhOpAya sOdhanAdhikAram to get a grip on the objections raised against Prapatthi and the naswers (SamAdhAnams) for those objections .
