Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 430. anthascharEShu pavanEShu jithEShvaBhignyA: prathyanmuKhIm pariNamayya mana: pravrutthim AsvAdhayanthi sarasam maNipAdharakshE! nAdhAvasAnasamayE BhavthIninAdham Oh Manipaaduka! Yogis first conquer the airs that work in our body, then control the function of the mind by directing it inside-towards the Paramatma-and when the Pranava-nada subsides, they hear Your Nada- the advent of the Lord-as a delicious thought! Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): SlOkam 430: 1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: In the previous verse , PraNava naadham was mentioned. Here, Swami Desikan describes the benefits of PraNava naadham for the Yogis. He says: " Oh PadhukE ! Yogis adept in the control of breath ( Praanaayaamaa) control their minds. They reach single-minded concentration through this yogic practise of hearing PraNava nadham . After that , they hear the sweet sound originating from You and realize that the Lord is about to present Himself before them . 2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: When the Yogis meditate on the Lord , they experience the sound of PrANa Vaayu for a short time. When that sound stops , then they enjoy the sound of Your Lord's sanchAram on Your back . 3) Swamy Desikan calls the Yogis as " abij~nA: " or those who are knowledgable. These Yogis control the PrANa Vaayu through PrANAyAmam and as a result bring their minds under control to experience with affection the sweet sounds generated by You as You transport Your LordÂ…(V.S). -------------------------------------------------------------- - SrImate rAmAnujAya namaH - To Post a message, send it to: bhakti-list@yahoogroups.com Archives: http://ramanuja.org/sv/bhakti/archives/ Your use of Yahoo!
