SrI: Dear BhakthAs: Today , adiyEn will cover the Thirty First slOkam of Sri SaraNAgathi DhIpikai , where Swamy Desikan refers to the Lord performing abhishEkam for PrapannAs here in preparation for their residence in the kingdom of SrI Vaikuntam later to enjoy ParipoorNa BrahmAnandham (AadhirAjyam) there : dhivyE padhE niyatha-kinkarathA aadhirAjyam dhAthum ThvadhIya-dayayA vihithAbhishEkA: aadEhapaatham anagA: paricharyayA tE YunjAna-chinthya YuvarAja padham bhajanthi --SrI SaraNAgathi DhIpikai: SlOkam 31 Meaning: ******** Oh Lord , who is the object of SaalamBana and nirAlamBana yOgam of the yOgis! The PrapannAs , who have performed Prapathti at Your holy feet get rid of their paapams acquired before and get blessed to be free from any paapam accumulated unconsciously after the upAya anushtAnam ( Prapatthi). At the end of their bodily existence , they ascend to Sri Vaikuntam. The nithya kaimkaryam that they are going to perform there for You is like the joy of the ruler of a big kingdom . You seem to prepare them here itself for that position by performing coronation ceremonies for them through the flood of the nectar of Your DayA . They perform hence kaimkaryam here itself for You with great relish. This compassionate act of Yours directed at them is like the gifting of youvarAjyam (King-elect) during their earthly existence in preparation for the rulership that has been granted to them by You , when they arrive at Your Supreme abode. It is the tradition in this world for a future king to undergo training as King-elect ( YuvarAjA )prior to his ascending the throne as the king. Additional Comments : ********************** Oh YunjAna-chinthya! ( Oh the target of the meditation of yOgis! The PrapannAs become anagA:(blemishless) after the performance of their prapatthi. They are freed of the previous sins that they committed and are also free from any sins committed unconsciously during ther Post- Prapatthi period of existence on earth. They perform blemish-free kaimkaryam for the Lord unitl they shed their mortal coils (aadEha pAtham tE paricharyam karothi). They are recognized by the Lord for the visEsha kaimkaryam that they do .They are annointed hence as crown princes in this universe ( tE paricharyayA Yuva Raaja Padham bhajanthi). What is the other reason for the Lord to confer this enormous distinction on them ? It is His overflowing DayA that propells Him to perform this Yuva Raaja abhishEkam ( ThavdhIya dayayA vihitha abhishEkA: anagA: Yuva Raaja padham bhajanthi). These Yuva RaajA: are going to assume responsibilities for Lordship( Kings) over kaimakryams of their choice for You in SrI Vaikuntam (DhivyE padhE niyatha Kinkaratha dhAthum). The annointment or coronation as Yuva RaajA on this earth by the Lord is to prepare them (PrapannAs ) for higher responsibilities at SrI vaikuntam at the end of their earthly existence (dhivyE padhE niyatha kinkarathA Aadhi-Raajyam dhAthum vihitha abhishEkA: anagA:). The condensed upadEsam housed in this slOkam is elaborated in the 22nd chapter of Swamy Desikan's SrImath Rahasya- Thraya Saaram ( ParipoorNa BrahmAnubhavAdhikAram). The Focus of this chapter is on "saparikara BharanyAsa Nishpanna kruthya:" ( Prapannan , who has performed Prapatthi with all its angams and become filled with a sense of completing what has been prescribed by the Lord and His SaasthrAs). What does such a krutha-krithyan do ? Swamy Desikan responds in a beautiful and brilliant manner : " svAvasTArham saparyA-vidhim iha niyatham-vyAgasam-kvApi Bhibrath nirmuktha-sTUla-Sookshma-prakruthi anubhavathi Achyutham nithyamEka:" Sva-avasTA-arham = (following that which is)appropriate to his nishtai as covered in the sva-nishtAbhijn~Anam chapter of RTS saparyA vidhim = performing the pertinent steps of kaimkaryam as covered in the Utthara kruthyam and PurushArTa Kaashtai chapters of RTS iha = in this state of pursuit of Bhakthi as a prapannan as developed in the Utthara Kruthyam chapter niyatham = that which is prescribed by the SaasthrAs as elaborated in the SaasthrIya NiyamanAdhikAram of RTS vyAgasam = the steps of Bhakthi , which are free of defects kvApi Bhibrath = staying in a dhivya desam of choice as described in the apahAra parihAram chapter of RTS nirmuktha-sthUla-Sookshma-Prakruthi = having left behind the gross , subtle bodies as described in the NiryANa and Gathi visEshAdhikArams of RTS Achyutham nithyam anubhavathi = the Muktha Jeevan enjoys the Lord always to the fullest extent in a state of Saayujya mOksham ( paripoorNa BrahmAnubhAvAdhikAram). ParipoorNa BrhmAnandham following SaasthrIya niyamam ***************************************************** After Prapatthi , the Prapannan performs blemishless kaimkaryams ( Bhagavath-BhAgavath-AchArya Kaimkaryams) prescribed by the SaasthrAs , while he waits for the time to cast aside his earthly body and ascend SrI Vaikuntam . Our Lord recognizes these kaimkaryams and joyously rewards the Prapannan by annointing him as a Yuva RaajA here. At the end of bodily life here , Prapannan arrives at Sri Vaikuntam and engages in the never-ceasing kaimakryams for the dhivya dampathis and experiences perfect and full BrahmAnubhavam.This is the message of the 31st slOakm of SrI SaraNAgathy DhIpikai. PramANams for the ParipoorNa BramAnandham ****************************************** The Prapanna ( Muktha) Jeevan raches SrI Vaikuntam through the nine steps described by Swamy Desikan in His Parama Padha SOpAnam . There , this muktha jeevan enjoys the ThirumEni , GuNam and chEshtithams ( deeds) of the Lord in sarva desams, sarva kaalam and sarva avasthais without let.The Muktha jeevan performs Sarva-vidha Kaimkaryams to the dhivya dampathis. This jeevan immerses itself thus in ParipoorNa BrahmAnandham and never ever returns to the Karma BhUmi that he left behind. Swamy Desikan quotes the passages from the Aanandhavalli section of TaitthirIya Upanishad(TU) ,ChAndhOgya Upanishad(CU) , MundakOpanishad (MU) and Lord's own Githai. Here are selected examples: TU Aanandavalli : " sOasnuthE sarvAn KaamAn saha, BrahmaNA vipascchitEthi (meaning): In that aprAkrutha aakAsam ( ThiruviNNagar/ SrI Vaikuntam ), the Muktha Jeevan enjoys equally all the BhOgams with SrI Vaikunta NaaTan , who is nirupAdhika Seshi , OppAr-MikkAr ilan , ParipoorNa Jn~Anandha SvarUpi. TU Aanandavalli(7.1): rasO vai Sa: , rasagumhEyEvAyam labdhvA aananadhI bhavathi (meaning): The Brahmam that is being worshipped is the embodiment of Aanandham. The UpAsakan ( Muktha Jeevan) experiences that aanandham and becomes the possessor of the same. Thus Brahmam becomes the praapyam and upAsyam (goal , Phalan and the object of worship/means ). CU 7.26-2: Sarvam ha pasya: pasyathi SarvamApnOthi Sarvasa: (Meaning): Muktha Jeevan sees every thing in parama padham and through the power of his own sankalpam enjoys every thing at all times and is immersed in ParipoorNa BrhmAnandham (Sa vaa yEsha yEthEna dhivyEna chakshushA manasaithAn kaamAn pasyan RAMATHE , ya yEthE Brahma lOkE:CU 8.12.5). BhUmAdhikAraNa vishaya vAkyam in SrI BhAshyam : When Muktha Jeevan enjoys the bliss of Brahman , he does not see anything else since every thing is contained in Brahman and its glories . Since there is nothing else other than Brahman , the liberated jeevan does not comprehend or enjoy anything else. He enjoys therefore the vibhUthi (Isvaryam ) , GuNams of the sukha Maya Brahman . Since all that is experienced is full of Sukham , the muktha jeevan never experiences any dukkham at Parama Padham. In the next five slOkams of SrI SaraNAgathi dhIpikai, Swamy Desikan elaborates on the Kaimkaryams done by the Yuva RaajAs ( Prapanna Jeevans) on this earth until the time of their ascent to SrI Vaikuntam.
