SrI:
 
Dear Swamy Desika BhakthAs :
 
We will study Twenty  more of Swamy Desika Sahasra Naamams( 631- 640 ) today :
 
631) karmaNyathA bhAvahEthu pApa tacchAnthi hEthu-dhrusE nama:
 
(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who knew about the sins arising
from unfitness to perform KarmAs and the reasons for parihArams against  them .
 
The fitness to perform Bhagavath AarAdhanam arises from the cleanliness of
the adhikAri .The assembled material should not have any dhOshams . The person
performing the AarAdhanam should also be considered as an upakaraNam
( items assembled for AarAdhanam) . Therefore , he should be clean and have
the fitness & qualifications  (Yogyathai) to perform AarAdhanam . A Thief and
one who lusts after women is not allowed to touch the Lord . There are
32 trespasses that are to be avoided so that one has fitness to do AarAdhanam :
 
1) union with a woman before AarAdhanam (2) asoucham and becoming
unclean (3) seeing a dead body (4) touching a corpse (5) going to cemetry 
ground (6) performing ultimate rites (7) coming in to contact with a dog 
(8) eating anything and every thing (9)not cleaning one's  teeth (10) wearing 
black or red clothing (11) shaking the clothes (12) being angry (13) using 
one hand for salutations (14) insulting BhagavathAs (15) worshipping in
darkness (16) apAna vaayu release during aarAdhanam (17) speaking 
without any need  and other things like these , which are MahA
aparAdhams that will disqualify one from performing AarAdhanam.
If these trespasses happen , then one should perfrom prAyascchittham 
to requalify one to perform AarAdhanam. One has to seek pardon from
the Lord . ApachArams should not be repeated .   
 
632) ijyAdhikAra  bhEdajn~Aya nama:
 
(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who knew the different
categories of Ijyai for different adhikAris .
 
SrI Saathvatham states that AshtAnga Yogis alone are qualified
to meditate on the indweller residing inside one's heart lotus .
The fitness for AarAdhanam for Chathur vyUha archai with mantrams
is limited to Brahmins . Only KshathriAs can do chathur vyUha archai
without mantram but with Tantram . 
 
633) ijyA sArArTa vEdhithrE nama:
 
(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who knew the essential
meanings of Ijyai .
 
Ijyai has to be understood as AarAdhanam with 8 angams  according to
JayAkhya Samhithai of PaancharAthram .
 
634) svAdhyAya kaala  svAdhyAya bhEdhAdhikruthibhEdha dhrusE nama:
 
(Meaning) : Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who knew the timings for
SvAdhyAyam and the different activities during SvAdhyAyam and the fitness
of those who can observe those divisions of SvAdhyAyam .
 
The Fourth division of time is SvAdhyAya time ( after 18 Naaxzhikai , after 1.12 PM).
One kind of SvAdhyAyam is understanding the meanings of Vedaas with
IthihAsams and PurANams. The other kind of adhikAri is the one , who recites
one or more of the VyApaka mantrams ( AshtAksharam , DhvadasAksharam ,

be followed .

(Meaning) :Salutations to Swamy  Desikan , who knew about the essential
meanings of SvAdhyAyam .
 
The essence is to engage in activities ( IthihAsa-PurANa Patanam ,
Manthra Japam , intrepretation of Sri Sookthis) that will cut out
inappropriate speech and give control over Indhriyams (Vaak ,  manas ,
Body) .
 
636) svAdhyAyAnga visEsha vidhE nama:
 
(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who was knowledgable
about the specialties of the different branches (angams) of SvAdhyAyam .
 
After IjyA and BhOjanam , one should perform Aachamanam and return to
Bhagavath Sannidhi , perform ashtAnga PraNAmam and conduct Veda
adhyayanam or other SvAdhyAyam activities.

(Evening portion) during the PradhOsham day .

of Mouna vratham during PradhOsha Kaalam is not inconsistent with
Bhagavath Kaimkaryam that has to be observed by ParamaikAnthis
