Namo NaarAyaNa! SrimathE RaamAnujAya nama: Dear BhakthAs of Lord VaradarAjA : AdiyEn will cover the seventh slOkam of Sri VaradarAja Sthavam today : Hai!kudhrushti-abhinivishta-chEthasAm nirvisEsha-savisEshathAsrayam samsayam Karigiri: nudhathi asou tunga-mangala guNAspadhE Harou (meaning): This great and unique Hasthigiri completely banishes all misconceptions of sinners with distorted views , who have repeated doubts about the Supreme Lord , Sriman NaarAyaNan's auspicious attributes . Due to their dhurbhAgyam , they insist that Sriman NaarAyaNan is One without attributes (nirvisEsha Brahmam ) and He displays some times auspicious attributes (Savisesha Brhamam ). SrivatsAngAcchAr Swamin's commentary: ************************************** Those with twisted views assert that the Supreme being is devoid of any attributes and that He is a Jata Brahmam ; others concede that the Sathyam(Truth),Jn~Anam( True knowledge) are nothing but Brahma svaroopam .The followers of Yaadhava- PrakAsA hold that Brahmam takes on three forms: Isvara-avyAkrutha- PrANa roopams. In their views , when Brahmam as Isvaran has SavisEshathvam ( KalyANa GuNams) and as NirvisEsham (without attributes ) in its true state as Brahmam. These twisted and incorrect views have been criticized as untenable by AchArya RaamAnujA in Sri BhAshyam and Swamy Desikan in Satha DhUshaNi and Paramadha Bhangam . Manu, the first law giver has said that such distorted views emphasizing unreality arises due to the influence of TamO GuNam of the proponent : " Yaa VedabhAhyA: smruthayO yaasccha kaascca Kudhrushtaya: SarvAsthA: nishphalA: prEthya TAMONISHTAA: hi thaa: " When the BhAgyasAlis climb the Hasthigiri and have the darsanam of Lord VaradarAjan even once , all their doubts are cleared and their kudhrushtis are cured . Upanishads refer to the untying of all knots of doubts in the heart as they have the sevai of the ParAthparan: " BhidhyathE Hrudhaya GranTi: chidhyanthE SARVASAMSAYAA: KshIyanthE chAsya karmANi tasmin dhrushtE ParAvarE " The lingering doubts in the minds of Kudhrushtis about the two forms of Brahmam ( SavisEsham and NirvisEsham ), the two kinds of Mukthi ( VidEha and Jeevan Mukthis) disappear totally .That happens when those with distorted views have the darsana soubhAgyam of the archA ThirumEni of the Lord of Hasthigiri. They realize that the Lord is SarvaguNAthmakan (Possessor of all mangaLa GuNams)and He has no hEyams (blemishes of any kind). KurEsar incorporates this thought housed in Sri Poushkaram (I-31 & 32): SandarsanAth akasmAccha PumsAm sammUDachEthasAm kuvAsanA kubuddhisccha kutarkasccha kuniscchaya: kuhEthusccha kubhAvsccha naasthikathvam layam vrajEth Even an accidental darsanam of the Lord by those with ignorance arising from all kinds of bad attitudes and distorted learing are cured and their non-belief is put to rest forever .KurEsar states categorically that the erstwhile doubts of all the kudhrushtis are banished ( samsayam nudhathi ) through the darsanam of the Tunga- MangaLa-GuNAspathan (abode of all auspicious GuNAs). KurEsar recognizes this transformation as a wonderful act of the Lord of Hasthigiri . Additional Comments(V.S): KurEsar's choice of words are marvellous. He describes the deluded ones as " Kudhrushtis" and their persistent mind set holding such views ( kudrushti-abhinivishta- chEthasAm ) as caused by their paapa visEshams.They insist that the Lord is devoid of KalyANa GuNams and that He is just NirvisEsha , JaDa Brahmam .They say that the Lord , who is NirvisEsha Brahmam assumes the SavisEsha form some times . Our SiddhAntham is based on the doctrine that the Supreme Being is Suddha Satthva Mayam and does not have the thriguNams like us. He is free of all blemishes (DhOshams of any kind). We believe that the Supreme Being is full of KalyANa guNams: "Ya: Sarvaj~na: Sarvavidh , GuNEsa: SathyakAma: Sathya Sankalpa: , ParAsya Sakthir-vividhaiva sruyathE SvabhAvikI Jn~Ana Bala KriyA cha , Samastha KalyANa GuNAthmakOsou!" Our Lord is aparimitha-UdhAra-guNa Saagaram ( Ocean of limitless , auspicious atributes). Swamy NammAzhwAr salutes these anantha KalyANa GuNa svaroopan as: "YeNN perukkanalatthu , VaNN Puhazh " and therefore Swamy NammAzhwAr instructs us to worship this Lord ( Irai sErmin ) and to contemplate on this Lord ( IRai uLLUha ).The fruit of this worship is infinite bliss (Veevil Inbham ) says SatakOpa Soori and pays tribute to His infinite and splendourous attributes ( Veevil Seeran ) at His place of residences such as ThiruvEnkadam and ThirumAlirum ChOlai. Kuresar follows Swamy NammAzhwAr's steps in saluting Hasthigiri , the hill on which the Lord Stands. Swamy Desikan followed His poorvAchAryAs --Swamy NammAzhwAr and KurEsar--and saluted the ThiruvEnkaDam Hills at the very beginning of his DayA sathakam .
