SrI:
Dear Swamy Desika
BhakthAs:
Today , we will
complete the set of 15 naamAs and reserve
thereafter
our energies to tackle
the difficult subjects of Tatthva Muktha
Kalapa
and Satha DhUshaNi
.
666) anEkEjyA
sannipAtha lupthOpAdhana lEsakAya nama:
( Meaning ) : Salutations to Swamy Desikan
, who instructed us
that UpAdhanam or abhigamanam can be
shrunk to accomodate
the extra time demand for VisEsha
AaarAdhanam days , when more
than one AarAdhanam has to be performed
(AchArya Thirunakshathram et al)
.
Daily PradhAna kaaryam is Ijyai. UpAdhanam
is an angam . Between the two ,
on days in which there is a time squeeze ,
PradhAna Kaaryam has to be
attended to fully by shrinking abhigamanam
or UpAdhAnam .
667) asakthyavasthA
svasamAna ruthvikagAdhi kruthEjyakAya Nama:
(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan ,
who instructed us that
a person who is unable to perform Ijyai due
to illness or other asakthis
can commission a Rithvik equivalent to him
in anushtAnam .
Ijyai can not be abandoned at any cost . If
however one is totally
incapable of performing it , the son ,
disciple or some one equally knowledgable
should be asked to serve the role of
Rithvik ( one who performs a Vaidhika
karma at our request
).
668)
vidhura-vrathi-sanyAsi vanasTarvik nishEdhakAya
nama:
(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy
Desikan , who instructed us that a Vidhura
( One who has lost his wife) , BrahmachAri
, SanyAsi or VaanaprasthA should
not be asked to serve in the role of a
Rithvik . Only a gruhasthA with living wife
should be asked to do the Vaidhika karmAs
as Rithvik according to Smruthis .
669) soothakAdhi dasA
thyAjya Suchi karthavya karmakAya nama:
(Meaning) : Salutations to Swamy Desikan ,
who ruled that the Vaidhika
karmAs ( like Pancha Yaj~nam ) can be done
only when the YajamAnan
is free from asouchams ( Birth asoucham ,
death asoucham et al).
670) mouna
SoonyASoucha kaala keerthya dhyEya Hari priyAya
nama:
(Meaning) : Salutations to Swamy Desikan ,
who declared that during asoucham ,
time outside mouna kAlam ( time for
observing silence as at PradhOsham ) can be
engaged in Hari dhyAnam and Hari Naama
sankeerthanam.
Swamy says tht there is no rstriction on
Hari dhyAnam and Naama Sankeerthanam .
671) aSoucha kaala
karthavya abhiyAnAkhya kriyA parAya nama:
(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy
Desikan , who ruled that even in janana ,
MaraNa theettu (asoucham) , one should not
abandon abhigamanam .
Naama keerthanam
, PraNAmam , anjali , dhivya Prabhandha
anusandhAnam
can be done even during asoucham . The
only restriction is that one should
stay a little away from Koil AzhwAr of
Gruha Archaa during those occasions .
672) sarva kriyA
prathinidhi BhagavannAma keerthanAya nama:
(meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan ,
who instructed us that
BhagavannAma sankeerthanam is the
prathinidhi (substitute / stand in)
for all kriyAs in Kali Yugam
.
SaasthrAs say that one gets the same phalan
in Kali Yugam , what one
gets thru dhyAnam in Krutha Yugam , Yaagam
in ThrEthaa Yugam and
archanai in
DhvApara Yugam .What is
needed by the Prapannan is
Bhagavath Preethi . Whenever one could not
do aarAdhanam , Yaagam ,
VedAbhyAsam due to theettu or asakthi ,
Naama sankeerthanam can
substitute for the latter . This is kali
Yuga VisEsha dharmam.
673) rahasyAmnAya
nishtASoucha nishEdha vidhAyakAya nama:
(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan ,
who ruled that only
those belonging to the Veda Saakhai of
Rahasya AamnAyam do not have
continuing theetu . SnAnam after
hearing of theetu alone is sufficent
to free them from theettu . They ( Rahasya
AamnAya nishtarkaL )
alone have this exception . For others
including manthra siddhAntha
Nishtars , PaancharAthra/VaikhAnasa
dheekshithAs , the regular duration
of asoucham continues
.
674) Brahmavitthva
nimitthAdhya sankOcha vyAhathy kshamAya nama:
(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan ,
who declared that Theettu does not
lessen because one is a
Brahmavith (One who has learnt VedAntham from
a SadAchAryan and experiences the Brahman)
. This ruling does not apply
in Kali Yugam .
Swamy Desikan rejects the position
that such lessening is valid for Brahmaviths.
The theetu does not lessen for Vrathee (
Vratha KankaNa dhAri) and BrahmachAris
( Observing Brahamacharyam with palAsa
dhaNdam ) .
675) prakrAnthOthsava
kAryAdhi soothakAdhi nishEdhaAya nama:
(Meaning) : Salutations to Swamy Desikan ,
who ruled that those who are
Vrathees conducting uthsavams (
PaancharAthra / VaikAnasa DheeshithAs)
are excluded from the impact of theettu restrictions during Uthsava
kaalams
after taking the vow
.
676) aSoucha
kaala karthavya mAnasEjyA vichArakAya nama:
(Meaning ) : Salutations to Swamy Desikan ,
who instructed us that
Maanasa AarAdhanam has to be done in
place of BaahyArAdhanam
during theetu Kaalams . Bhagavath
AarAdhanam like SandhyA vandhanam
can not be abandoned even during theettu
kaalams . IjyA AarAdhanam
is nithyam
.
677) aSoucha
kaala karthavya sandhyOpAsthy prakAra vidhE nama:
(Meaning ) : Salutations to Swamy Desikan ,
who instructed us on
the method ( PrakAram ) to perform SandhyA
vandhanam during
the occasion of
theettu .
The PrakAram is : Gayathri manthram has to
be invoked in mind ( without
oral recitation) while performing jalAnjali
. SandhyA has to be done without
reciting Rishi and chandas . anga ,
nyAsam have to be set aside for
the duration of the theettu . Manthrams
should be meditated upon without
reciting orally
.
678) dhushkarathva
parijn~Ana kshuBhdha pumvarsha vardhakAya nama:
(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan ,
who gladdened the hearts of
aasthikAs (with his clear rulings ) ,
who were agitated before over the thought
that the observances of
VarNAsrama dharmams are
difficult .
There are many Saasthrams and some times
their rulings are in conflict
with each other . In such cases , ordinary
aasthikAs (SaadhAraNa PurushALs)
are confused and do not know which
direction to follow.Through his
PaancharAthra RakshA grantham , Swamy
Desikan helped to clarify
the sookshmams
of Dharma Saasthrams and removed
doubts and
thereby gladdened
the hearts of people , who had
serious doubts
about the procedures
.
679) bhagavath dharma
soukarya visEsha vyAkruthi kshamAya nama:
(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan who
put the minds of aasthikAs
at rest by removing their anxieties about
the complexities and difficulties in
anushtAnams .
Thanks to Swamy Desikan's commentaries and
rakshA granthams ,
the ease of following Bhagavath
dharmams was enhanced . They were
shown to be easy to execute
.
Swamy
Desikan explained : anushtAnam of Bhagavath
dharmam is simple.
BhagavAn does not expect anything great
from us. A leaf of TuLasi , a flower,
a fruit or even a spoon of water presented
with affection is all that He desires .
He accepts those with joy . When we begin
saying Hari , He removes our
sins . One can use Bhakthi for the Lord as
the capital and perform
DharmAnushtAnam easily
.
680) ijyOpachAra
vaikalya dhOshAdhOsha vichArakAya nama:
(Meaning) : Salutations to Swamy
Desikan , who clarified the meaning
behind dhOshams originating from
deficencies ( Manthra lObham , KriyA
lObham) in Bhagavath AarAdhanam
.
It is said that the reductions in
UpachArams during IjyA can result in
the accumulation of many kinds of sins .
For example , absence of
gandham (Vaasanai dhravyam) during the IjyA
will lead to Fear ;
reduction in flower offering would lead to
wranglings (Kalahams) .
Absence of NaivEdhyam (annam
and vyanjanams) would lead to
famine and dhurbhiksham . Shrinkage of
manthrams will lead to death.
Such rulings in Saasthrams would make one
fear and lead to
the abandonment of
the IjyA .
Swamy Desikan explained the inner meanings
of these rulings .
These rulings apply ony in case of Kaamya
AarAdhanams done for
the well being of the king or the nation .
Lobham ( reductions ) in
UpachArams in those cases will cause the
above results. Those
who have the resources and yet act in a miserly way will also
accumulate these dhOshams
.
For all the others performing daily
AarAdhanam with Bhakthi , these
dhOshams do not come their way . BhagavAn
accepts anything presented
by them with affection and becomes
pleased .
