SrI: Dear BhakthAs of Swamy Desikan : (931) (PraNavam) BhakthividhyA siddha hEthu prarOchana karathvagnE nama: (Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who refuted the view that Bhakthi yOgam is contrary to gaining MOksham . He did not agree with those , who stated that SaasthrAs recommended Bhakthi yOgam as UpAyam for a limited few , only to enhance their faith in Saasthrams. Swamy Desikan held the view that Bhakthi yOgam is one of the two upAyams for Moksham , although it is not as easy to practise as SaraNAgathy . SaasthrAs clearly state that Bhakthi yOgam is one of the UpAyams for those who desire Moksham and Sriman NaarAyaNan is the Moksha phalam granting SiddhOpAyam . There can not therefore any objection to Bhakthi as an UpAyam . (932) (PraNavam) BhakthividhyA sishtalOkaa parigraha nivArakAya nama: (Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who refuted the view that PoorvAchAryAs ( Sishta lOkam ) did not accept Bhakthi yOgam as a fititng saadhanai for Moksham . Sage ParAsara practised Bhakthi Yogam . Swamy AlavanthAr , EmperumAnAr , KurEsar , Swamy Desikan had the highest reverence for Sage Paraasara , the father of VyAsa Bhagavaan for blessing us with VishNu PurANam . To declare that Sage ParAsarA's anushtAnam is Svaroopa Viruddham ( against our Svaroopam ) is wrong . (933) (PraNavam) BharanyAsAdhi sakla-kAla dharmathva bhanjanAya nama: (Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who refuted the view that the anushtAnam of Bhakthi yOgam for Moksha Siddhi is not relevant for Kali yugam . (Comments): There is a view that SaraNAgathy ( Prapatthi yOgam ) and Naama Sankeerthanam alone are appropriate to observe for Moksham . Bhakthi yOgam is rejected as an upAyam in Kali yugam . Swamy Desikan refuted this argument . He held the view that Bhakthi and Prapatthi yOgams are valid routes for Moksham at all times . Even in this Kali yugam , there have been qualified souls like Swamy NaaTa Muni , who practised Bhakthi yOgam successfully . When Naama Sankeerthanam is suggested by some as an UpAyam , it is intended to highlight the importance of the glory of singing about the Lord's names and NOT FOR deemphasizing Prapatthi and Bhakthi yOgam as the two accepted upAyams for gaining Moksham . Prapatthi and Bhakthi yOgams are theMoksha Dharmam for all yugams. " BharanyAsAdhi Sakala Kaala dharmathva SaadhakAya Nama: " is the homage to Swamy Desikan by the author of DEsika Sahasra Naamams . The aadhi sabdham here refers to Bhakthi yOgam . (934) (PraNavam) NyAsa PrasamsakAya Nama: (Meaning ): Salutations to that AchAryan , who sang about the glories of BharanyAsam , which makes one Krutha Kruthyan ( One who has completed all that he has to do in this earth) . Swamy Desikan saluted the one who has completed BharanyAsam as "Seytha vELvian " (AzhwAr's Vaakyam : one who has been blessed to perform the Prapatthi Yaagam successfully) and as one who has attained the stage of NairapEshyam ( Stage, where one does not expect anything else in this world as a result of completing Prapatthi Yaagam ). (935) (PraNavam) NyAsa BhakthyAdhikya pradarsakAya Nama : (Meaning ): Salutations to the AcxhAryan , who showed that BharanyAsam is more laudable than Bhakthi yOgam because of the ease of performing Prapatthi and the swiftness with which it assures the Phalan of Moksha Siddhi . Prapatthi is powerful to protect one , who could not hope to undertake the ardous and tardy-to-execute Bhakthi yOgam .That is why , Prapatthi yOgam is hailed as being superior to Bhakthi yOgam .
