Dear Asthikas/Devotees of Sri Hayagreeva
The philosophical and religious
literature should be studied with dedication and
devotion by the students under an efficient and
qualified Acharyan with complete faith in the
subject taught. What is taught by the teacher to the
student should be absolutely free from all defects
like undue partiality for something or desoicable
prejudice against another. Love for truth and devotion
to Bhagvan must be the sine non in matters connected
with religion. In due course of time , there will be
difference of opinion which will create a division in
the parent body . The religion will be the same ,
still division will come. In Vaishnavism , we face
such a division.
Swami Desikan declares that the
diffrences are only apparent and superficial and they
can easily be explained which come in two ways
1.With reference to fundemental doctrines
regarding the nature of the TATTVAS or REALS
2. With reference to the observance of some
religious rites
Different religious texts may be the
cause of the difference regarding the Tattvas. A close
and more intensive study of all texts will show the
way for reconcilation. As regards rites based on
religious texts , we can say that both are right and
they are optional. Each sect may adopt its own mode of
action based on tradition that has been given to them
from the days of yore and there is no room for rancour
or ill feeling . But in matters which are beyond the
above range, the sastras alone are our guide and in
fact authority. To get correct interpretation ,
sastras should be studied under proper guidence of
dedicated Acharyas, who mastered the sastras correctly
from their Acharyas
The sastras say that Srivaishnava
sampradaya originated from Bhagavan Sriman Narayanan
and after passing through Mahalakshmi, and Sri
Vishvaksena in the divine cadre, developed in the
world through ancient Sages ( Rishis) and through Sri
Sadagopan ( Nammalvar) , Sri Nathamuni, Sri
Alavandar, anr Sri Ramanujar and then Swami DEsikan
Swami Desikan establishes the
flawlessness of Vaishnava sampradaya by reconciling
on the basis of sastras the contradictions between two
sects ( Northern and Southern) and bringing harmony.
The doctrines taught are classified as SADASYA and
RAHASYA ,but there is no mutual contradiction between
the two . Swami Desika says that there is no
inconsistency in the doctrines amongst traditions
that pertains to the disciples of Sri Ramanuja and
there is only a difference in the interpretation of
the passages
In the Avatharas of Bhagavan , Sri
Hayagreevan is the first Avathara as it is said that
Ha ( "aa" in tamil ) denotes Akharavachyan .Numerous
examples can be given for this, but all sastras ,
Vedas, Upanishats point out this first Avathara.
Dear Sri Hayagreeva Devotees! Do you know
that a Mahamandap is being constructed at Oushatadri
Sri Hayagreevar temple, Thiruvaheendrapuram , where
Swami Desikan got the Paripoorna Anugraha of Sri
Hayagreevan. Are you eager to partake in the kainkarya
which will shower anugraha of both Acharyan Swami
Desikan and Sri Hayagreevan on you and your family?
