SrI: 

Dear BhakthAs :

Moola Manthram is made up of 3 vAkyams : PraNavam ,
Nama: sabdham and NaarAyaNAya sabdham . Among these 
three vAkyams , Prapatthi is the dominant embedded theme.

1.0: Prapatthi & its presence in the three vAkyams .
****************************************************************
The svaroopa samarpaNam  , the first of the three samarpaNams 
by the Jeevan is in PraNavam. The samarpaNam of the burden of 
the Jeevan's protection is linked to Nama: sabdham and the Phala 
samarpaNam is connected to NaarAyaNAya section .

1. 1: PraNavam & Svaroopa SamarpaNam
***************************************************
JeevAthmA is different form the body and Indhriyams .Jeevan is of
the form of bliss . Jn~Anam and Aanandham ( bliss) are the guNams of
the Jeevan , which is self-luminous. It does not need any other Jn~Anam
to know itself . It is behind the manifestation as "I ". It is atomic in size.
It is the servant by svabhAvam to the dhivya dampathis. The Lord is 
the Master of the Universe( Swami).He is the cause behind this universe. 
He is the protector of all.  Svaropa samarpaNam is the  presentation of one's 
AathmA to the Lord , its Owner .The clear understanding of this Swami-Daasan
relationship will lead to the firm grip on artha Panchakam : (1) ParamAthma as 
the goal (2) the Jeevan that seeks the Lord (3) the means for attainment of
the Lord( prapatthi) , (4) the Phalan that is gained thru this attainment and
(5) all that stand as obstacles ( VirOdhi) in that effort for attainment . For 
full comprehension of these 5 items (artha panchakam) , observance of 
Svaroopa samarpaNam is central .

1.1: Nama: sabdham & Bhara SamarpaNam
***************************************
I have no wherewithall ( akinchanan). I am forever Your servant and I am
always under Your control . You must accept me as the helpless one without
any means to protect myself and offer your protection . That burden of
protecting me is yours .This prayer by the Jeevan is the bhara samarpaNam
implicit in the nama: sabdham.

1.2:NaarAyaNAya and Phala SamarpaNam 
*************************************
Nithya Sooris perform eternal kaimkaryam to the dhivya dampathis.
If they thought they were svatantra purusharkaL or think that they 
are doing these kaimkaryams in anticipation of a Phalan , then those 
kaimkaryams will be full of blemish .The Prapanna Jeevan reflects on this and
concludes :adiyEn has as much rights as the Nitya Sooris to perform blemishless
Kaimkaryam to the divine couple . adiyEn is filled with great kaamam( desire)
to perform such Kaimkaryams .In this world , the sarIram and Indhriyams and
the karmAs arising from their operation have distracted me and made me unfit to
perform such kaimkaryams .AdiyEn has now performed Prapatthi and got rid of
all those karmAs and am ready for performing such blemishless kaimkaryms.
The Fruits ( Phalan) arising from such kaimkarkayams are placed at Your 
Thiruvadi and You must accept them .This is the Phala samarpaNam associated
with NaarAyaNAya sabdham .

1.3: The help rendered by Thiru Manthiram
***********************************************
Thru PraNavam , Thirumanthiram reveals that the Lord is the Seshi ( Master) and 
Jeevan
is the Seshan ( daasan) and connects them thru this relationship.Nama: sabdham 
makes 
the Sesha Jeevan perform Prapatthi to  the Lord and makes the Lord accept that 
vazhipadal.
The Jeevan prostrates before the Lord in a state of abject helplessness and the 
Lord
bends over to recieve that Prapatthi . Thru NaarAyaNAya sabdham reveals that 
the muktha 
Jeevan gains the phalan of Bliss in Sri Vaikuntam thru kaimkaryams and the Lord 
recieves that 
Phalan thru Phala samarpaNam , which makes both of them equal in enjoying 
BrahmAnandham. 

1.4:Brahma Soothrams and Thirumantram proclaim the same truth
**************************************************************************
Brahma Soothrams are the Moolam for Sri BhAshyam .The first two chapters 
deal with Para Tatthuvam ; the third covers MokshOpAayam and the fourth about
the Phalan of Moksham .In this order , Thirumanthiram covers Sriman NaarAyaNan 
thru 
the PraNavam , the upAyam of Prapatthi with Nama: sabdham and Moksha Phalan 
thru " NaarAyaNAya". 

2. The elaboration of the three Vaakyams of Dhvayam for reflection 
****************************************************************************
Dhvayam is used for performing Prapatthi and hence it is called KaraNa
manthram . Dhvyam also has three vAkyams : (1) Sriman NaarAyaNa 
charaNou SaraNam prapadhyE , (2) SrimathE NaarAyaNAya and (3) Nama: 

The first Vaakyam points to the visEsha upAyam .This upAyam is of two kinds: 
siddham and saadhyam . The second vaakyam points to the visEsha Phalan ,
which again has two aspects: siddham & saadhyam . The third vaakyam focuses on
the removal of the obstacles (VirOdhis) that stand in the way of gaining the 
phalan ;
virOdhis also break down into the two categories of Siddham & Saadhyam .Dhvayam
elaborates on the Tatthva-hitha-PurushArTams with its amsams.

2.1: The factor (amsam) for anusandhAnam in the first vaakyam is UpAya visEsham
********************************************************************************************
Our Lord with Periya PirAtti becomes SiddhOpayan for ChEtanan . He stands as 
an ancient ( eternal ) upAyam that is not invented by the chEtanan . He is the 
One 
who grants the phalan desired by the chEtanan .  Our Lord expects however a 
small 
act ( performance of Prapatthi) from the chEtanan . Our Lord also helps the 
chEtanan 
to perform the Prapatthi thru a SadAchAryan . He makes sure that there are no
obstacles (VirOdhis) to Prapatthi and grants the Phalan of Moksham directly and
thus become the SiddhOpAyam .SaraNAgathy is the vyAja maathra upAyam to gladden
the heart of the Lord , the SiddhOpAyan .Since chEtanan has to perform this 
Prapatthi , 
this upAyam becomes SaadhyOpAyam .

2.2: PurushArTa VisEsham is the amsam to be observed in the 2nd Vaakyam of 
Dhvayam
****************************************************************************************************
The visEsha phalan(upEyam) is the nithya , niravadhya kaimkaryam done by the 
Mukta
Jevan to the dhivya dampathis in their Supreme abode . The Mukta jeevan does 
them 
without any feeling of independence ( svatantram) or the thought that the 
phalan of such
kaimkaryam belongs to it. The Mukta Jevan does engage in such kaimkaryams for 
gaining 
ParipoorNa BrahmAnandham. The phalan from such kaimkaryams is known as Saadhya
Phalan .Our Lord is nithyan ( without beginning or end ) and hence He is Siddha 
Phalan
(ever-existing Phalan). Our Lord is therefore Siddha uPEyam and the Mukta 
Jeevan's 
Kaimkaryam is Saadhya upEyam ( Phalan).

2.3: VirOdhi nivrutthi visEsham is to be refflected in the third Vakyam ( 
nama:) of dhvayam
****************************************************************************************************
The banishment of VirOdhi is about the removal of all kinds of nescience that 
might make
the Mukta Jeevan feel that it is a Svatantran and all the kaimkaryams are for 
gaining some
phalan .These are the two kinds of ajn~Anam that are removed .

3.0: The three Vaakyams of Charama slOkam and the concepts to be contemplated 
there 
******************************************************************************************************
 
The first of the three vaakyams of Charama slOkam deals with the act that 
should be
performed by the chEtanan , who is a qualified adhikAri ( Sarva dharmAn 
parithyjya 
MaamEkam SaraNam vraja) . The second vaakyam is " aham thvaa Sarva PaapEbhyO
MokashayishyAmi ". This deals with the act to be performed by the Lord , the 
SaraNAgatha
rakshakan .The third vaakyam ( maa Sucha:) covers the duties of Prapannan after 
Prapatthi
and his tranquil state of mind .

3.1: The thought to be reflected upon from the First vaakyam : adhikAri kruthyam
*******************************************************************************************
The Mumukshu ( one desirous of gaining Moksham) has to beseech protection from
the SarvalOka Rakshakan , our Lord , the SiddhOpAyan . The Jeevan has to seek 
the protection at he sacred feet of the Lord .The mumukshu has to realize the 
impermanence
of wealth and power in this world and develop vairAgyam and seek Moksham as 
the only lasting wealth and perfrom Prapatthi .

3.2: SaraNya Kruthyam : The anusandhAna amsam in the second Vaakyam 
***********************************************************************************
EmperumAn is the rakshakan for all the world . It is his turn now to remove all 
the sins that stood blocking the path for the jeevan to attain the Lord . The 
Lord 
bears now all what the Bhaddha Jeevan bore . Our Lord recognizes the 
inadequacies
of the chEtanan in performing the ardous Bhakthi yOgam and stands now in the 
place of
Bhakthi yOgam , when the prapannan performs Prapatthi .If the Prapannan desires 
a time at which he wants to leave this  world , our Lord grants him that wish 
too .
Our Lord thus bears all burdens as desired by the chEtanan and grants him sama
bhOgam once the prapannan arrives at Sri Vaikuntam as the Mukta Jeevan .

3.3: Utthara Kruthyam by the Jeevan linked to the third Vaakyam of Charama 
slOkam 
**********************************************************************************************
After Prapatthi , the   jeevan has to observe the following things : (1) Mahaa 
viswAsam
in the Lord since the Moksha Phalan is certain and should not fret over 
anything, (2) he should not 
seek any phalan other than Moksham or engage in anya dEvathaa upAsanam , (3) as 
long
as the jeevan is here in the embodied state , it has to observe all karmaas 
commanded 
by the SaasthrAs ( Aajn~A kaimkaryams) .He should perform this kaimkaryams 
without
seeking any phalan and perform them just to please the Lord ( Sriman NaarAyaNa 
preethyarTam). 

SarvalOka SaraNyan , our Lord does three things for the Prapannan :(1) He 
steers 
the Jeevan , who is unfit to engage in Bhakthi yOgam and deflects him towards 
aSadAchAryan to observe Prapatthi yOgam (2) Our Lord chases away all the sins 
of 
the Prapannan and (3) He helps the Prapannan to be free from worries and 
engage in Kaimkaryams that will please Him .

3.4: The Limitlessness of EmperumAn , Prapatthi and Moksha Phalan
*******************************************************************************
The three Tatthvams elaborated by Charama slOkam ( EmperumAn , Prapatthi and 
Moksha phalan) are not circumscribed by place , time or  vasthu . 

Our Lord can not be limited to one place , time or vasthu . He is there at all 
places,
times and vasthus .

Prapatthi is again not confined to any place or time or vasthu . It can be done 
at all
places and at all times and vasthus that are considered equivalent to it. 

Moksha Phalan and the kaimkarya phalan arising from Bhagavathanubhavam has no
restrictions based on place , time or vasthu.In the state of Moksham , the 
muktha jeevan 
can perform Kaimkaryams to the dhivya dampathis at all places in Sri Vaikuntam 
and at
all times ( Kaalam has no power in Vaikuntam) and is not confined to a specific 
vasthu 
or other .

These are the deep thoughts that are associated with the three rahasyams ,
which are delectable as Navaneetham .
