Dear Swamy Desika BhakthAs
:
We will study TEN
more of Swamy Desika Sahasra Naamams( 545- 554 ) today
:
545.dEvEjyA-ashtAngathA-uthkarsha-varNainaka vichakshaNAya nama:
(meaning): Salutations to the
AchAryan , who has the glory of describing
the loftiness of Deva-ijyai
with the 8 angams (limbs) .
Deva Ijyai (Bhagavath
AarAdhanam) has 8 parts . Performance of
the AarAdhanam with
these 8 steps is the most lofty AarAdhanam .
BhagavAn Himself has stated
that He will hasten the attainment of
Moksham for those ,
who performs such a structured aarAdhanam .
Since it hastens
the gaining Moksham , this DEva Ijyai is a supreme
karmaa.
The 8 portions of the Deva
Ijya are :
1. Abhigamanam: this is
different from the Abhigamanam of Pancha Kaala
Prakriyai especially
recommended for SanyAsis . This Abhigamanam of
Deva Ijyai is from Maanasa
AarAdhanam ( Hruth ThyAgam ) to Aathma
SamarpaNam
.
2. BhOgam : SamarpaNam of
argyam , Pushpam and other external
UpachArams ( Baahya
UpachArams).
3. Madhubharga dhAnam:
Samarpanam of Madhubhargam et al.
4. NivEdhanam: presentation
of annam for the Lord .
5. SampradhAnam :
Distirbution of the annam presented earlier
to the
Lord .
6. Vahni SandharpaNam : Homam
as a part of Ijyai , which is not
in
practise these days .
7. Pithru Yaagam : The Yaagam
is done with VaasudEvAdhi Naamams .
8. AnuyAgam :
PrANAgnihOthram / AntharyAmi NivEdham ( one's
Bhojanam
at the end
of Deva Ijyai ).
546. prayathnAdhyanapEksha
svathassiddhOthkarsha-vasthudhrusE nama:
(Meaning): Salutations to the
AchAryan , who had the skills to identify
the lofty objects
(karmAs) even if they do not need major effort . ( He
was
able to disprove the commonly
held view that a lofty karma should always
be associated with a major
effort (Prayathnam) .
In the worldly context ,
anything done with extensive effort is considered
a lofty effort . Anything
which does not need such lofty efforts is considered
insignificant . Bhagavath
AarAdhanam is an exception to this comon rule.
It does not need laborious
effort like performing a Soma Yaagam . It is however
one of the loftiest
of Vaidhika
KarmAs because of its inherent superiority .
Its loftiness results
not from Prayathnam but through its svaroopam .
547. ParamaikAnthi-karthavya
panchakAla kriyAsudhiyE nama:
(Meaning): Salutations to the
AchAryan , who knew that the PanchakAla
Prakriyai should be performed
by ParamaikAnthis as well .
SamhithAs divide the day in
to five parts ( Pancha Kaalams) and assigns
five kriyAs ( Pancha
PrakriyAs ) for each of these time divisions . These are :
1. Abhigamanam: To be done
between 6 AM and 8.24 AM ( six Naazhikais) .
This includes Japam , DhyAnam
and archanam for Kaimkarya Siddhi and
performance of Prapatthi for
that goal. This time frame is called "PrAtha: Kaalam ".
2. UpAdhAnam : This is to be
done between 8.25 AM and 10.48 AM ( the next
Six Naazhikai time division
).Here assembly of Pushpam , Fruits and items
for Bhagavath AarAdhanam
. This time frame is called "Sangava Kaalam ".
3. IjyA : It is to be done
between 10.49 AM to 1.12 PM (MaadhyAhnika Kaalam
).
4. SvAdhyAyam : Reflections
on BhagavAn , Hearing PurANams and dhivya
Sookthis , Reading Saasthrams
. Tis time is called AprAhnam and is after 1.13 PM .
5. Yogam: It is the Joining
of the mind with BhagavAn's sacred feet at night .
This Pancha Kaala PrakriyA
has to be done by every one . ParamaikAnthis are
no exception from the need to
observe Pancha Kaala PrakriyA . ParamaikAnthis
are those who do not
seek any dhaivam
other than BhagavAn for their rakshaNam
and they do not
seek any Phalan
except Bhagavath Kaimkaryam. PrapannAs have
to observe Pancha Kaala
PrakriyAs as well .
548. BhAshyakAra
AasrayeebhUtha panchakAla prakAsakAya nama:
(Meaning): Salutations to the
AchAryan , who glorified the PanchakAla
Prakriyai accepted and
approved by BhAshyakArar in His nithya grantham
.
549. vaisEshika-thrikAlArchA
abhidhAna virOdhadhrusE nama:
(Meaning): Salutations to the
AchAryan , who knew that there is no inconsistency
between PancharAthra
PrakriyAs and VisEsha AarAdhanams as well as
the thrikAla AarAdhanams
recommended by some .
There are some
recommendations to do BhagavathArAdhanam
three times a day .Similarly
, there are special AarAdhanams prescribed
for Vishu , ayanam , GrahaNam
, DhvAdasi , SravaNam days . These VisEsha
AarAdhanams are not opposed
to Pancha Kaala Prakriyai . These have to be
folded in to Pancha Kaala
PrakriyAs and done with special sanklapam .
550.
SripAncharAthra-smruthyaikakaNDya sTApana dakshiNAya nama:
(meaning): Salutations to the
AchAryan , who established that Sri PaancharAthram
and Smruthi injunctions
have no conflicts . He established that they are in unison
in their views and are not
opposed to each other . Therefore one has to understand
that Pancha Kaala Prakriya
performance does not incapacitate one from following
Smruthi ( Manu Smruthi ,
Saandilya Smruthi , Dharma Saasthrams) recommendations
.
One can fold in the
recommendations on KriyAs as per Smruthis in to Pancha Kaala
prakriya ( AgnihOthram in to Abhigamana time , Pithru Yaj~nam in to Ijya period etc) . 551. VyAsadakshdhyuktha
dharmaSAstrArTa vivruthikshamAya nama:
(Meaning): Salutations to the
AchAryan , who was skillful in explaining
the meaning of dharma
Saasthrams blessed to us by VyAsar and Dakshar .
Sage VyAsa has recommended
that the Vaidhika Karamaas to be done during
the entire day. When one
examines them , they are found to be consistent with
the overall structure of
Pancha Kaala Prakriyai . Swamy Desikan has studied
and commented on this aspect
extensively .
Sage Dakshar has divided the
day in to 8 Parts from the Karmaa Performance
point of view :
1. SnAna SandhyA Vandhanam ,
Homam , Deva Kaaryam
2. VedAbhyAsam , Vedic
Instruction.
3. Acquisition of Samith and
Pushpam for AarAdhanam (Ijyai).
4. VisEsha
SnAnam.
5. SamarpaNam of annam for
Deva , Pithru and athithi as well as
PrANAgnihOthram
.
6and 7. IthihAsam-PurAnam
studies .
8. Loka Yaathrai , SandhyA
Vandhanam outside the house .
Here , the first two items
relate to Abhigamanam ; Third connects to UpAdhAnam ;
Fourth and fifth to Ijyai and
the 6th and 7th to SvAdhyAyam . Yogam is separately
described by Sage Dakshar .
Thus , his 8 parts easily fit without conflict in to
Pancha Kaala PrakriyA .
552. sarvakriyAngabhUtha
HarismaraNa bBhodhakAya nama:
(Meaning) : Salutations to
the AchAryan , who announced that
Hari SmaraNam is to be
performed at the beginning and the end of
all Vaidhika
KarmAs by ever one
.
553. PaancharAthrOktha
bhagavath0Jn~Ana nithyathva sAdhakAya nama:
(Meaning): Salutations to the
AchAryan , who established that the Bhagavath
SmaraNam discussed in Sri
PaancharAthram is "nithyam " .
Hari SmaraNam is neither
Kaamyam or Niamithtikam but Nithyam but Nithyam .
554. archAvathAra-rahita
gruha-bhOjana dhOshavidhE nama:
(Meaning): Salutations to the
AchAryan , who knew and stated that
there is dhOsham in eating at
houses , which do not have ArchA Moorthy
in the form of consecrated
Vigraham or SaaLagrAmam . The food eaten
at such houses is nishiddhAm
. The partaking of annam presented to
the Lord during AarAdhanam
alone is fit for personal consumption .
