SrI: Dear BhakthAs: Today , adiyEn will cover the Fourty First slOkam of Sri SaraNAgathi DhIpikai , where Swamy Desikan ardently seeks the protection of SrI DhIpa PrakAsan: iTTam Thvad-yEka-SaraNai: anagai: avApyE Thvath-kimkarathva vibhavE spruhayA aparAdhyan AathmA mamEthi Bhagavan Bhavathaiva GeethA: VaachO nireekshya bharaNeeya iha ThvayA aham SrI SaraNAgathi DhIpikai: SlOkam 41 Meaning: ******** Oh ViLakkoLi PerumALE! It is not easy to obtain the bhAgyam of performing ParipoorNa Kaimkaryam to You at SrI Vaikuntam. The fortunate paramaikAnthis , perform saraNAgathi at Your sacred feet and thereby become free from all sins ; they alone are qualified to perform such blemishless kaimkaryam. adiyEn , who is utterly unqualified to have that BhAgyam also long for such a kaimkaryam . adiyEn recognizes that to have such a desire itself is an apachAram from the paramaikAnthin's point of view . Oh Lord! You Yourself have instructed us in GeethA that that such Jn~Anis are the life to You.adiyEn reflects on those words . I have no other recourse than You. In that state of my helplessness (ananya gathi) , You must come to my rescue and bless me with the boon of paripoorNa Nithya Kaimkarayam . Additional Comments (V.S): ************************** In the previous slOkam , Swamy Desikan described the arrival of the Muktha Jeevan at SrI Vaikuntam and it becoming qualified to perform ParipoorNa Kaimkaryam to the Dhivya dampathis (Gathi VisEshAdhikAram of SrImath Rahasya Thraya Saaram). In this 41st slOkam , Swamy Desikan longs for a similar blessing for himself.He paraphrases the thoughts of AchArya RaamAnujA in SaraNAgathy Gadhyam and Sriranga Gadhyam. This slOkam is also close to what Swamy Desikan would describe later in detail in the 22nd chapter of SrImad Rahasya Thraya Saaram ( ParipoorNa BrahmAnubhava adhikAram ). The context of this slOkam is to be found in the following PramANams referred to by Swamy Desikan there: 1. ChAndhOgyam : BhoomAdhikaRaNam , 8.12.5 2. SrI BhAshyam:1,3.7 Soothra VyAkhyAnam 3. Bhagavad Geethai:8.15-16 4. MuNDakOpanishad:8.1.3 5. TaitthirIyOpanishad:Aanandavalli 1.2, 7.1 Once again , the amzing genius of Kavi-ThArkika simham compresses the deep meanings of the above pramANams in a single slOkam to express his longing for Nithya Kaimkaryam at parama padham in a manner prescribed by the SaasthrAs and PoorvAchAryAs. ParipoorNa BrahmAnandham ************************* The sruthi Vaakyams from Aanandavalli describes this Aanandham perfectly: SoasnuthE SarvAn KaamAn Saha , BrahmaNA vipaschithEthi --Aanandavalli: 1.2 (meaning): The Muktha Jeevan enjoys in aprAkrutha AkAsam (Parama Padham /SrI VaikuNtam ) the Lord's ananatha KalyANa guNams without any restrictions, without any expansion or contraction and without being controlled by anyone or by any cause(nirupAdhikam ). Like a father and son enjoying sweet paayasam , the Muktha Jeevan and the Lord jointly enjoy the anantha kalyANa guNams of the Lord. rasO vai sa: rasagumhyEvAyam laBdhvA aananadhI bhavathi --Aanandavalli: 7.1 (meaning): The Brahman which is being meditated upon is the embodiment of Bliss (aanandham).The one who meditates on that Aanandha Brahman becomes blissful by partaking that aanandham .Thus Brahman becomes the PrApyam and upAsyam (the One to be attained and the One to meditate upon). ParamaikAnthi & his paripoorNa Brahma anubhavam at Parama padham ***************************************************************** The paramaikAnthi remembers the Lord at all times and places and performs service to Him without asking for anything including Moksham.The paramaikAnthi does not look upon any Gods other than SrIman NaarAyaNa and is fully integrated with Him . The ParamaikAnthi takes refuge in Him and passes beyond His MayA to attain parama padham. GIthAchAryan instructs ArjunA that such a Jn~Ani is very dear to Him and I am very dear to him ( PriyOhi Jn~AninOathyarTamaham sa cha Ma priya: GItA 7.17). Our Lord says to Arjuna: "All the others contemplate on Me only until the fulfilment of their desires:" AartthO JigyAsu: arTArTi " (the distressed , the seekers of Knowledge and the wealth-seekers ) . The Jn~Ani / ParamaikAnthi is the one outside the set of these three groups , who is described by GItAchAryan as His very self since he is devoted to the Lord alone as the highest end ( Jn~Ani thvAthmaiva mE matham ,aasthiTa: sahi yukthAthmA MaamEvAnutthamAm gathim --GitA: 7.18) The Lord concludes the assessment of the dearness of such a ParamaikAnthi this way: BahUnAm JanmanAmanthE Jn~AvAn Maam prapadhyathE VaasudEva: Sarvamithi Sa MahaathmA Sudurlabha: (At the end of many births , the man of knowledge finds refuge in Me , realizing that VaasudEvA is ALL. It is very hard to find such a great-souled person ). The men of the world (non-paramaikAnthins )are controlled by their inherent nature, and are deprived of true knowledge by their multiple desires .Such worldly-minded men seek other gods , observing various disciplines that are propitating only such deities that can not grant mOksham: kaamaisthair-hrutha-jn~AnA: prapadhyanthE anyadEvathA: tam tam niyamamAsTaya prakruthyA niyathA: svayA --Bhagavath GIthai: 7.20 Swamy Desikan's references **************************** The fortunate ParamaikAnthis and their wealth of kaimkaryam to the Lord is described this way in SlOkam 41: " iTTam Thvath yEka Saranai: anagai: avApyE Thvath kinkarathva vibhavam " These paramaikAnthis are blemishless(anaga:) and have sought You and You alone as their unfailing refufge (Thavth yEka SaraNai:)and have cherished the incomparable wealth of nithya kaimakryam (Thvath kinkarathva vibhavam) to You. Swamy Desikan reminds the Lord that he is very keen on being blessed with such a Kaimkarya Sampath and catches himself and says that such thoughts of seeking such a wealth itself is contrary to the behavior of a paramaikAnthi , who never seeks anything from the Lord including Moksha Sukham and Kaimkarya SrI (Thvath kinkarathva vibhavE spruhayA aparAdhyAn aham ). Swamy Desikan now reminds the Lord of His own words about the paramaikAnthis being very dear to Him and asks the Lord to think about it and remember that he (Swamy Desikan) has no other recourse for protection than the Lord. Swamy Desikan pleads with the Lord to take on the burden of his protection . adiyEn will conclude this posting with the passage from SrI BhAshyam that deals with the paripoorNa BrahmAnandham enjoyed by the muktha jeevan in Parama Padham. Swamy Desikan pleads in this slOkam for such a paripoorNa BrahmAnandham : When the Muktha Jeevan enjoys the limitless and unique Brahman in the form of Bliss, he does not experience any thing else except that Brahman. This is because of all entities are embedded in the superiority and loftiness of the Brahman. Therefore , the Muktha Jeevan enjoys Brahman with its Isvaryam (VibhUthi/wealth) , auspicious attributes and the magnificent sukha maya aanandham and does not recognize anything else. Nothing else distracts him (BhUmAdhikaraNa Soothra vyAkhyAnam of SrI BhAshyam ). Swamy Desikan longs here for such ParipoorNa , BrahmAnandha Bhagavath anubhavam.
