Continued after CHANDRIKA MANDANAM…

 

After completing the "CHANDRIKA MANDANAM" digvijaya at

Padmasarovar Swamiji left to Tirupati for Darshana of Lord Sri Venkateshwara

Swamy on Pausha Shuddha Navami.

 

In those days the Tirupati Yatra use to start from Sri

Govindaraj Pattanam, which is in the footsteps of the seven hills. The elders and

temple authorities at the boundary of the village received Swamiji with all

protocol which Sri Uttaradi Math was suppose to get every time whenever our

Yatis use to visit that place. Swamiji was taken into the temple on a elephant

in a big procession with all shishyas doing Veda Ghosha walking beside. The

procession was so beautiful that everybody was pushing each other to have a

glimpse of Swamiji. The Govindaraja Swamy Devasthanam arranged Elephants /

Horse / Danka (an musical instrument which is exactly like a drum) / Nadaswaram

(mangala Vadya) etc in respect of Swamiji…

 

After Swamijis arrival in side the temple premises the

head priest of the temple received Swamiji with Swetha Chatra (white umbrella)

/ Chamara. Swamiji first made a pradakshina of Sri Govindaraj before taking the

Darshan of the Lord Shesha Sayee (who is sleeping on a big Serpent Vasuki).

Later Swamiji went around the temple with his whole family

of Shishyas before proceeding to Tirumala Tirupati.

 

Sri Ramacharya of Tirupati invited Swamiji for Padapooja

and Sri Ramadevara Pooja. Many prominent vaishnavas visited this place and did

Padapooja and took Tapta Mudra from Swamiji. The next programme was Sri Rama

Devara Pooja and Teertha Prasada. Many people visited Sri Ramacharya's house for

Teertha Prasada. Usually whenever a Yati comes to a place there is no formal

invitation required for the Bhaktas for Tapta Mudra / Teertha Prasada, this use

to be very true in all the places wherever Swamiji made a visit. Hundreds and

thousands of people use to come and utilize this unique opportunity to have

darshan of Sri Ramadevaru and Swamiji.

 

Later in evening everybody requested Swamiji to deliver

Pravachana on recently held programme at Padma Sarovar ie. CHANDRIKA MANDANAM.

For about 2 hrs daily Swamiji use to deliver pravachan on CHANDRIKA MANDANAM.

This continued for about 8 days.

 

A small summary of what was discussed at Sri Govindaraja

Pattanam:

 

Chandrika Mandanam was a very hot topic in those days.

Everybody was aware that Swamiji has written this book in fitting reply to the

book Chandrika Khandanam that was written by Sri Ramasubbashastri. The book

written by Shastriji was divided into two parts viz I) Advaita Mandanam and ii)

Chandrika Khandanam.

 

The first part Advaita Mandanam describes about the proof

of Advaitism. The second part describes about the CHANDRIKA KHANDANAM, which

means that disapproval and non-acceptance of difference between Jiva and Bramha

that is described in the main 9 tenets approved by Dwaita Siddhanta and Madhva

Shastra. It also disapproves and disqualifies the grantha by name Tatparya

Chandrika written by Sri Chandrikacharya. This is what the book Chandrika

Khandanam is all written by Sri Ramasubbashastri.

 

In the same way disapproving and disqualifying Advaita

Siddhanta the book Chandrika Mandanam, which has been written by Swamiji is

divided into three parts. First part describes about difference between Jiva

and Bramha, which is totally opposite to the one approved and qualified by the

Advaita Siddhanta. Several proofs have been described which can be found in

Vedas and Puranas. The third part describes about the correctness of the

grantha written by Sri Chandrikacharya.

 

After describing all this Swamiji invited the qualified

taught people who gathered there to raise any doubts pertaining to the things

written in the book. He said I can clear any doubt asked by the gathered people

and given an invitation for open debate on the same. Listening to this Sri

Krishnaswamy Iyer requested Swamiji that we are least bothered about what is

correct and what is wrong written in your book but we want to have a debate on

Dwaita / Advaita and listen to your answers on the same topic. Then Swamiji has

cleared all doubts raised by the learned pundits there. Some of the topics that

were discussed and answered by Swamiji are

 

1)

Tatvamasi

2)

Aham BramhAsmi

3)

neha nanAsthi kinchina

4)

nanyo atosti drusta

5)

Ekatva Manu Pashyatah:

6)

Nanyo To Asti Drustah:

7)

Natra Kanchana Bhidasti

8)

Ekatvamanu Pashyatah:

9)

Ekamevanudrastavyam

10)

DvaitinoathyAdarshinah

11)

Atmevedam Sarvam

12)

ananya Prokte gatirAtra nAsti

13)

proktAnyenaiva sujnanaya prostha etc…

 

Swamiji described and explained all above topics with lot

of patience and convinced everybody. He informed everybody that all above

topics proves Dwaita but not Advaita. Like this the discussions and QA sessions

went on for 4 consecutive days. He also pointed out the incorrectness of the

book written by Sri Ramasubbashastri. For example the book defines that

"Dvaitinoatathyadarshinah:". Like this he has defamed the Dwaita Siddhanta. Where

as he has no where defined or written something like

"Advaitinoatathyadarshinah:". But what he has informed is not correct because

the statements and words defined before this word are like "Tasyatmaparadeheshu

satoApyekamayam hi tat". If we translate the correct meaning of the complete

shlokas then it defines that in our individual body and others body Paramatma

is staying in his Niyamaka Rupa. It says whoever finds difference and

dissimilarity are fools. Like this it is direct accusing or criticizing those

who believe in this. He has accused and criticized those who believe in

difference between Jiva and Isha.

 

To this Swamiji gives a fitting reply and gives proofs

from many Upanishads and Bhavadgeeta. Swamiji says "Ananyaprokte

Gatiratranasti" – "Proktanyenaiva sujnanaprestha" (Kathopanishad) –

"Isjwarohamaham Bhogi" (Geeta 16.14) – "Asatyamapratistham" (Geeta 16.8)

Purama chapter. 42)

 

There are many shlokas like this in Shruti Smruti Purana.

If we summarize all of this then "Jivabramhabhedajnani" (Advaitis) will not

attain Aparoksha Jnana. Where as the Dwaits for sure who taught Jevesha Bheda

Jnana will attain Aparoksha Jnana without fail. Kathopanishad, which teaches I

am the Ishwara and like that the universe is unreal, are none other than an

Asura. Mayavada is nothing but DusShastra. It is prAchanyaBoudha. It teaches

similarity and equivalence between Jiva and Ishwara. It teaches Bramha is

NIRGUNA (which means that is without attributes or properties. That is without

good qualities or properties.) . Because of this it is avaidika (Padma Purana).

 

Summary : Universe is false, Paramatma is Nirguna, Jiva is

thought/imagined, there is no Ishwara after mayanasha, Bramha is Nirvishesha

and Nirdharmic is Mayavada etc… Mayamohanamak Asuras created this Mayavada

(Story can be found in Vishnu Purana). Those who want to attain Moksha

should not believe in this.

 

Like this when many Puranas accuses / criticizes Mayavada.

Where as Padmapurana itself, which has clear reference and explanation of this

then how come, Sri Ramasubbashastri has not mentioned anything about this in

his Sarvamatasangrahavilasa book. This surprises us very much. The texts and

books create by Sri Ramasubbashastri like Sahankarabhasyagambhirya Nirnaya and

the book written by Adya Shankaracharya, which the Vedas severally or

collectively tell that Jiva and Bramha are the mind or view formed, and to be expressed;

the mental regard or reference or, as excellent or superior amongst others are

also things to be given a thought for. Like this the discussion went on for 8

days all together. Swamiji gave many references to Vedas and Upanishads and

convinced /proved to the shishyas that shastra/tattva taught by Dwaita school

is correct and superior to all others.

Later Swamiji proceeded to Tirupati. Upon arrival at

Tirupati Swamiji was received by the temple authorities and gave him a grand

reception again on a well-decorated elephant. Swamiji after doing Pradakshina

to main temple went inside Garbha Gudi and offered Karpoora Aaarati to Lord

Venkateshwara and later proceeded to Sri Uttaradimutt.

Later as usual Swamiji did Sri Rama Devara pooje after

which normal Teertha Prasada was distributed amongst the shishyas. Like this

Swamiji stayed there for 5 days. He also performed Lord Venkateshwaras

Bramhostsava, Annakutotsava, Amantranotsava, Tulasi Archana, Shukravara

Abhisheka etc. He also distributed Sambhavane to all vidwans there on behalf of

Sri Mutt. When Swamiji went to have darshan inside Garbha Gudi the Archakas

there presented him with a Pitambara Vastra, which was used as Alankara on Lord

Venkateshwara. He took that as a Prasada from the Archakas. Like this he spent

almost a week on the hills and later was seen off again by the Temple

authorities. A grand send off was given to Swamiji again. This is how he was

famous amongst the Madhva Yatis in those days. Later he again spent some time

at Padmasarovara. Like this he has completed his Chandrika Mandanam digvijaya

successfully. After staying for some days he started his further sanchara to

the next destination.!!!
