SUMMARY: Like offering the rice prepared in fire to fire god (Agni), all the actions and reactions that Lord Sri Hari does and gets them done through mind, speech and body should be submitted back to Lord Hari with full consciousness and awareness and without any suspicion. Destroyer of sins, Sri Hari, will accept them and console us, always.

Here is a beautiful explanation of how to surrender all our actions and thoughts to Lord Hari. While performing Vaishwadeva, a ritual of surrendering rice to Lord through Fire God, rice is prepared with fire and offered to Lord in the fire. Similarly, it should always be remembered that “NAham kartA Harihi KartA” (I do not do anything and everything is done by supreme Lord Sri Hari); all human thoughts and actions are done by the Lord, who gets everything done according to his will, albeit in accordance with the Karmic correlation; with this firm faith, all human thoughts and actions should again be surrendered to the Lord, which is done by pronouncing ‘Sri Krishnarpanamastu’.

SUMMARY: The quantum of living beings in the creation is equal to one hundredth part of the finest tip of a single hair of a horse’s tail. It can never be lesser or more.

This stanza precisely describes the real role of living beings on earth. If a hair from the tail of horse is plucked and the tip or the end of that single hair is divided into one hundred parts, the quantum of living beings in the universe is equal to one of those one hundred parts of the hair. In common parlor, one hundred actually means innumerable and it is certainly not one hundred.

TattwasAra elaborates:

AshwavAlAgramAdAya viBhajya shataDhA hi tat|

punashchashataDhABhinnam kiyanmAnam BhaviShyati|

TAvadbrahmAdi jeevAnAm parimANam prakeertitam||

अश्ववालाग्रमादाय विभज्य शतधा हि तत्।

पुनश्चशतधाभिन्नं कियन्मानं भविष्यति।

तावद्ब्रह्मादि जीवानां परिमाणं प्रकीर्तितम्॥

Holy scriptures clearly state that being, the soul, the self is very subtle; the subtlety of the atom of Jeeva or being is more compared to the subtlety of the atom of solids. In other words, the atomic representation of a being is the subtlest. This subtlety is universal and it is the same among all beings, including Brahma and other deities and demi gods.

In his work titled “VishnutattwanirNaya”, Sri Madhwacharyaru splendidly explains this phenomenon:

ParamANupradEshE(s)pi hyanantAha prANirAshayaha|

SukShmatvAdeeshashaktayaiva sThUlA api hi samsThitAha||iti cha||

परमाणुप्रदॆशॆsपि ह्यनन्ताः प्राणिराशयः।

सूक्ष्मत्वादीशशक्त्यैव स्थूला अपि हि संस्थिताः॥इति च॥

Within the space where an atom exists, innumerable heaps of beings exist.

Even in Vishnupurana this factor has been wonderfully explained.

The word “viDhiBhavAdisamastadivijara” indicates that irrespective of the number of beings in the minutest space, the discrimination between one being and another is always the case.

ADhyAtmamAla (30, 31) substantiates this factor further:

TanmaDhyE cha sadA jeevaha swarUpAvayavaihi sadA|

SRI VADIRAJA’S TEERTHA PRABANDHA

 SRI VADIRAJA’S TEERTHA PRABANDHA 

A brief note on a few books of Sri Vadirajaru.

NYAYARATNAVALI – ನ್ಯಾಯರತ್ನಾವಳಿ

Sri Vadirajaru begins this work with a Stotra in praise of Lord Narasihma and composes 901 stanzas divided into five parts to describe the quality of the Lord like unerring or being without any blemish and completeness of all attributes through excepts from Bhagavata and Shrutis.

SHRUTITATWAPRAKASHIKA - ಶೃತಿತತ್ವಪ್ರಕಾಶಿಕಾ

Sri Vadirajaru has provided 507 stanzas in this book. All the stanzas are set to Anushtup Chandas. The entire book dwells on some of the sentences or statements mentioned in Shrutis which have been used by some scholars to contend that Atma and Paramatma are one and the same. Sri Vadirajaru has, in this book, provided appropriate meanings to such sentences to thwart their argument and to prove that the reasoning contained in Dwaita philosophy are right and most justifiable.

CHAKRAMIMAMSA - ಚಕ್ರಮಿಮಾಂಸಾ

Sri Vadirajaru signifies in this book that the Tapta Mudra Dharana being followed by Madhwa community was in vogue among the followers of Sri Shankara and Sri Ramanuja. Drawing evidences from Shrutis and Smruti, he justifies that the practice of Tapta Mudra Dharana is a Vedic tradition.

PASHANDAMATAKHANDANA - ಪಾಷಂಡಮತಖಂಡನ

In as many as 127 Shlokas, Sri Vadrirajaru has, in this work, condemned the ideals of non-violence etc., professed by Jains and Buddhists.

8. GURVARTHADEEPIKA – TREATISE ON “SUDHA”

ಗುರ್ವರ್ಥದೀಪಿಕಾ – ಶ್ರೀಮನ್ನ್ಯಾಯಸುಧಾ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಟಿಪ್ಪಣಿ

This is a valuable insight into Anuvyakhyana of Sri Madhwacharyaru and Sri Nyayasudha of Sri Jayatirtharu. Although there are elaborate, exuberant, extravagant, exemplary and highly scholarly critiques available for Sri Nyayasudha now, this Gurvarthadeepika is the first one and most valuable. Moreover, drawing several statements directly from Anuvyakhyana of Sri Madhwacharyaru, Sri Vadirajaru has proved that whatever is said in Nyayasudha are not unfounded but very much correct. Sri Vadirajaru has gone on to provide additional information and meanings to Anuvyakhyana.

GURVARTHADEEPIKA – TREATISE ON TATVAPRAKASHIKA

— ಗುರ್ವರ್ಥದೀಪಿಕ – ತತ್ವಪ್ರಕಾಶಿಕಾ ಟಿಪ್ಪಣಿ

This is in furtherance of Tatvaprakashika written by Sri Jayatirtharu for Brahmasutra Bhashya of Sri Madhwacharyaru. Several interesting and informative meanings for the interpretation provided by Sri Jayatirtharu have been provided by Sri Vadirajaru in this work.

KALPALATA - ಕಲ್ಪಲತ

SUMMARY: Oh Kalindi, Yamuna River! You will not allow the virtuous, even if they happen to be sinners, to go to the abode of your brother Yama, God of Death, without relieving them off their sins or the negative energy; you will, instead, affectionately make such people live in the Shwetadweepa (white island) lying in the cosmic ocean of milk, which is the residence of Sri Narayana. It is a popular fact that when a person shows deep love towards his wife, she will start showing more interest in his relatives and in his welfare. It means that whoever is devoted to Kalindi will have no need to worry about going to hell after death because, King of Oceans is the husband of Kalindi, which is also the abode of Narayana. It is quite appropriate too. It is because Sri Narayana invariably bestows his choicest blessings upon his devotees and naturally Yamuna carries or directs her devotees towards her husband, the king of Oceans, where Narayana rests.

Yamuna River originates atop a Himalayan tower at about 10,000 feet above sea-level and flows for hundreds of miles before joining Ganga at Prayag. The tower in which Yamuna originates is known as Mount Kalinda and therefore she is called as Kalindi. She is also known as Kalindatanaya. At the place of her origin, the water is so cold that it is not possible to have bath there. However, there are some hot pits near the origin of Yamuna. Travellers and pilgrims put some grains in a cloth and immerse them in these hot pits. By the time they see the origin of Yamuna and return the grains would be baked. Yamunotri can be reached by foot for a d
istance of about 97 km from Dehra Dun. She is the daughter of Sun and sister of Yama.

SUMMARY: Apart from the supremacy of Brahma, everything else is an argument to establish the existence of different or another supreme Power or Lord. By attributing everthing to him and since he is incomplete or non-special (NirvishESha), there is no inherent difference between the two.

 

This stanza emphasizes the fact that there is no difference Brahma and unmanifest or blank or emptiness. Therefore, Mayavad or Absolutism or Non-dual Harmonious Lordism is nothing but exalted Buddhism (PrachChanna Buddhism) and this is what is the reality.

SUMMARY: Omniscient or Sarvajna Sri Poornaprajna, while proving the illogical Mayavada, Shoonyavada or Absolutism and non-dualism, the drawbacks in their entire line of reasoning and rejecting their contention that there is nothing special between corporal beings and Lord Brahma, he rejects the Paratattwa or Shoonyavada or non-dualism as untenable and thereby he criticised both of them as Danavas or Asuras.

SUMMARY: “There are several sacred rivers and ponds in India. The positive energy provided by visiting all those sacred rivers and ponds is provided by a tiny portion of the bridge here. Therefore, is there any need for the entire bridge to exist?” Srirama must have thought and hence, by turning his divine bow, he must have cut the portion that had protruded further!

Sri Vadirajaru appears to have exaggerated the fact that only the front portion or the starting point of the bridge is visible at present at Dhanushkoti, which bears testimony for the hundred-yojana-long bridge that Srirama had got constructed across the sea to reach Lanka. There is no second thought or opinion about a bridge having been constructed by Srirama. However, barring a token remnant of that bridge, nothing else is remaining now. Explorations are still going on to find out whether the rest of the bridge has been eroded or intentionally destroyed. Even the Dwaraka City was intentionally submerged by Sri Krishna and recent excavations have brought to light some evidences for the existence of Dwaraka under the sea.

SUMMARY: “Oh pilgrimage-loving righteous people! You are feeling dejected after wastefully being philanthropists, donating cows, land and gold, chanting Vedas, performing sacrifices and constructing lakes and channels for general public, in pursuit of salvation, heavens after death or peace in the world hereafter; but, there is no need to do all those things; Dhanushkoti is like a treasure box that fulfills all the desires of the righteous on earth as well as the entire divine community of deities. Therefore, anyone desirous of securing ultimate bliss and success should necessarily undertake a pilgrim to Dhanushkodi.

In the 33rd Canto of Skanda Purana, under the title Setumahatmya (सॆतुमाहात्म्य), description of Dhanushkodi is given. At present, Dhanushkodi is reasonably connected by road and railway transport.

At Dhanushkodi, the Eastern and Western seas unite at a place, which is considered to be distinctly sacred for paying obeisance to departed souls. There is a Srirama temple at about half of a mile from the sea shore. There are images of Srirama, Seetha Devi and Lakshmana on the inside wall and a statue of Sri Hanuman can be seen on the exterior of the temple. The name of town “DhanuShkODi” is derived from the fact that Srirama, as advised by Vibheeshana, breached the bridge with the edge of his bow.
