Sri Parthasarathi thunai

Srimathe ramanujaya Namaha

Srimad Vara Vara munayE Namaha

Sri vanAchala mahA munayE Namaha

 

                                    PRAMEYA SEKARAM

 

**Now that the route is determined, the jeevatma slowly releases himself from the heart (the part of the body where the atma is supposed to reside-hrudhaya gruham)

 

**The moordhan nAdi breaks open;

 

There are number of nAdi?s in our body.  The way in which the jeevatma releases itself by breaking open a particular nAdi determines the path of the jeevatma.  If the soul has to travel through the archirAdhi mArga, the way to moksha then it breaks open the moordhan nAdi and comes out of the body.

 

**After breaking open the moordhan nAdi the soul now starts its journey in the archirAdhi mArga (the way to moksha)

 

**The AdhivAhikAs (messengers of the god) welcome the jeevatma;

 

**The jeevatma now crosses the various Avaranas;

 

**The jeevatma now has crossed the saptha Avaranas;

 

In Srirangam, called as the boolOka vaikundam, there are saptha prAkAras that are equated to the saptha Avaranas on the way to moksha.  On crossing the saptha prAkAras one reaches the main temple of Sriranganatha and we get the darshan of the divine lord. 

 

**He reaches the viraja and takes a divine dip;

 

The divine river that flows at the entrance of the moksha mandalam is the viraja similar to kaveri that greets us at the entrance of the booloka vaikundam, Srirangam.

 

**Now, even the sooshma sareera is lost;

 

Thondaradipodi azhvar says in his thirumAlai, ?gangaiyil punidha mAya kAviri? since gangus is capable of removing all our sins whereas kaveri is capable of removing our samsAra tApam (struggles in samsAram).  According to thondaradipodi azhvar Srirangam is the third vibhoothi of emperuman and the entrance to the third vibhoothi is the divine river kaveri.  So a divine dip in kaveri will bless us a divine entrance into Srirangam.  The divine dip in viraja removes even the sooshma sareera along with which the soul has been traveling so far.

 

**Slowly the jeevatma attains all the kalyana gunas of the holy lord viz., apagata pAptma, tvijara: etc

 

Six divine qualities of the paramatma are attained by the jeevatma after having the dip in viraja.  The six qualities are apagata pAptma(one who is not affected by sins), tvijara:(ever youthful), visoka(one with no worries) satyakAma: (one who attains all his wishes),satya sankalpa:(accomplisher of all thoughts)
