Respected Members of Ramanuja Group,

Mumookshapdi- Introduction

Swami Pillai Lokachar is one of the pillars of our Samradayam.
He has written 18 Rahasya Granthas which helps one in understanding the
Ramanuja Siddhttham in a better way.

He was born to Vadakku Thiruveedhi Pillai who was the Sishya of Swami
Nampillai.

The Word Mumooshapadi consists of two words

1.Mumookshu- the one who yearns for Moksham
2. Padi- to be understood.

Hence This Grantham consists of those which a Mumookshu should
know.

It has three major chapters..

1. Thirumantra Prakaranam
2. Dvaya Prakaranam
3. Sarama Sloka Prakaranam.

Mumookshapdi gives full meanings of Thirumantram, Dvyam and Sarama Slokam
and engages in detail
lots of do's/Don'ts of a Prapanna.

We get to know a lot of Sri Vaishnava Conducts and Practices that were
advocated by our poorvacharyas.

Thirumantra Prakaranam explains the nature of ParamAtma , jeevatma and
establishes that being a servant of lord, it is imperative and natural
for the souls
(Jeevan) to engage in nitya Kaimkaryam to Him.

Dvaya Prakaranam deals with what are the 'upayam' (the way) for a soul to
attain a position to do nitya Kaimkaryam and what is the 'upeyam' (the
fruit or the result) of such endeavor. Further, it also explains how
Purushakaram(Divine Intervention)
of Periya Piratti helps a jeevan in his salvation.

Dvaya mantram is considered to be the 'Mantra Ratnam' in our sampradayam.

Sarama Slokam acts as a vivaranam of Dvaya Mantram. Sarama Sloka
Prakaranam
deals with what are those acts that a prapanna should Relinquish, what
should be his state of mind after relinquishing and how the Grace of
Bhagavan acts to get the prapanna out of cycle of births and deaths.

We will discuss Thirumantra Prakaranam from the next post.

Jeeyar Thiruvadigale saranam.
