Dear Swamy Desika BhakthAs
:
We will
study FIFTEEN more of Swamy Desika Sahasra
Naamams( 651-665 ) today .
651) Sarva kaalAbhyanuj~nAtha
asTAnasTa HaridarsanAya nama:
(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan ,
who clarified that BhagavAn
at Moola sTAnam can not be worshipped
at midnight and MahA PradhOsham
but Uthsava bhEram can be enjoyed even in
those times , when they
are outside on Uthsava sanchAram
.
652) ashtAnga yAgamadhya
anuj~nAtha svAdhyAya yOgavidhE nama:
(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy
Desikan , who was aware of the tradition
to position svAdhyAyam and yOgam in the
middle of IjyA (AshtAnga Yaagam).
Swamy Desikan holds the view that
SvAdhyAyam and Yogam should be pursued
after Ijyai . There is a school that
is in favor of performing SvAdhyAyam and Yogam
in the middle of Ijyai and performing
Homam, Pithru Yaagam and anuyAgam
thereafter . Swamy Desikan was aware of
this alternative procedure and
accepted it for use on special
occasions , where the regular kramam can not
be followed
.
653) Sri
ParAsara-SaaNDilyAdhyuktha yOgasvarUpa vidhE nama:
(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan ,
who was knowledgable about
the different aspects of Yogam and its
svaroopam .
Now the the last of the Pancha Kaala
PrakriyA (Yogam) is being explained .
Yogam means sambhandham or association with
the Lord . It is a matter of
uniting the mind with the Lord and
with effort ( Prayathna roopam) .
Abhigamanam and Ijya
also have small doses of Yogam
in them .
654)

nama:
(meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan ,
who instructed us to follow
the Yogam as per the path shown by AchArya
RaamAnujA and stay away
from other kinds of imporoper and harmful
yOgams even if they tempted one
with some quick
Siddhis of a dubious kind .
Meditation on ParamAthmA is
what is recommended by AchArya Ramanuja for
ParamaikAnthis .

house Prapatthi vaakyams :
" Thvath PaadhAravindha
yugaLam SaraNamaham PrapadhyE

Dhvarai ( urgency) to catch up.

.
ArchAvathAra Moorthy is PoorNan and
Sulabhan and is the preferred

of BhagavAn for
Yogam .
