SRIMATHE RAAMAANUJAAYA NAMA: Dear BhakthAs : In this posting , adiyEn will have a playful exercise in permutation and combination of the numbers 733/734 , which represents the 733rd Birthday of Swamy Desikan that will conclude on Sep 28 and paving the way for the 734th birthday. Our great AchAryA was born at ThUppul on the PurattAsi SravaNam day in 1268 CE. Therefore , he would have completed His 733rd birthday on Sep 28 , 2001 and will be entering His 734th Birthday on this day . His Sacred Thriunakshathram is shared by Lord ThiruvEnkadamudayAn and the First Brahma Tantra ParakAla Matam AchAryan . Swamy Desikan's birthday will be celebrated at ThiruvahIndhrapuram ,Kanchipuram , Sri RanganAthA temple at Pomona , NY ,SrinivAsa Temple at Buffalo, NY and at Bahrain by the BhathAs from that country and Kuwait. In the spirit of a playful exercise adopted by VaikuntavAsi Sri MattappaLLI (MukkUr ) Lakshmi NarasimhAcchAr Swamy, adiyen will add , substrat and multiply the different combinations of the number 733 and 734 and relate them to Sri VaishNava Rahasyams that they lead to: The various Combination possibilities ************************************* (1) From 733: PraNavam: 7 minus (3+3) = 1 (2) From 733: Dhvayam : 7 + 3 squared(9) + 3 squared(9) = 25 Aksharams of Dhvayam (3) From 734: 7X3+4 = 25 , the 25 Aksharams of Dhvayam. (4) From 734: 7X4 minus 3 =25 (Dhvayam) (5) From 734 : 7+ (4-3) = 8 , the 8 Lettered AshtAksharam. (6) From 734: 7+ 4 Squared (16)+ 3 Squared (9)= 32, the Charama SlOkam with 32 Aksharams. The significance of these Rahasyams with different Aksharams ************************************************************* A. Example 1: PraNavam *********************** This is yEka Padham consisting of three Aksharams : A+U+M "A" stands for AkAra Vaachyan: VishNu "U" stands for nirupAdhika Seshathvam or our natural status as His servant "M" stands for the Jeevan , which is the abode of that Seshathvam . B. Example 5: AshtAksharam/Moola Manthram ******************************************* This is the Parama UjjIvana Manthram which reveals to us the Sriman NaarAyaNa Tatthvam, Saadhanam and Phalan . Chapter 27 of Swamy Desikan's Srimad Rahasya Thraya Saaram (RTS)elaborates on the many meanings of this Rahasya manthram . The ChillaRai Rahasyam of Swamy Desikan named Saara Saaram also elaborates on this sacred AshtAkshara Manthram. C. Examples 2,3 & 4: Dhvayam with 25 Aksharams ************************************************* The 28th chapter of RTS of Swamy Desikan pays splendid tribute to the significance and power of this second rahasya manthram.This Manthra Rathnam instructs us on the way to perform Prapatthi at the sacred feet of Sriman NaarAyanan. Example 6: Charama SlOkam with 32 Aksharams ******************************************** This third Rahasya manthram stands for the KaaruNyam and assurance of the Lord bearing the burden of PrapannAs , who are powerless to practise the most demanding Bhakthi Yogam and the status of the Lord Himself standing in the sthAnam of those UpAyams. Conclusion and a Prayer ************************ Due reflections on the significance of the numbers 733 and 734 seems to point to the Tatthva Thrayams and the Three Rahasyams , which Swamy Desikan elaborated in His many Sri Sookthis throughout His blessed life for our benefit. The Prayer is to our Swamy Desikan to help us all attain Kaimakrya Poorthi regarding the SamarpaNam of Nava MaNi Maalai , MummaNikkOvai on Sep 28 ,2001 and RathnAngi during the year 2002 CE.
