Sarvartha Siddhi of Sri Vedanta Desika
SARVARTHA SIDDHI _OF ' _ SRI VEDANTADEéIKA ASrudy By Late Dr V.N. SESHADRI ACHARYA (of Oppiliappan Sannidhi) Formerly of Annamalai University Editors Dr V.K.S.N. RAGHAVAN and Dr S. PADMANABHAN (University of Madras) SRI VISISHTADVAITA RESEARCH CENTRE Madras 1993 copy rights Sri Visishtadvaita Research Centre First Edition : 1993 Published by .' Sri Visishtadvaita Research Centre 66,- Dr. Rangachari Road, Mylaporc, Madras-600 018. Price .' Rs. 125/ - Printed by .' M/s Avvai Achukkoodam Madras—600 013. INTRODUCTION Dr. V. N. Seshadri Acharya, a scion of a highly learned family, devoted to the propagation of Sanskrit and Vaishnavite philosophy over the past one century was, by profession, a professor of Sanskrit in Anna- malai University for al out three decades. The world of Vaishnax ism has known of the distinct contribution made towards our religion by his father Sri Navanitam Swami. and by his elder brother Sri V. N. Sriramadesi- kacharya. For his own part. Dr. Seshadriacharya has written a monumental work on the Sarvdrthasiddhi of Sri Desika. It is the commentary on his verse work, the Tattvamuktdkaldpa. Praised by pandits, this polemic work is. however, hardly studied or expounded, be- cause ofits erudition and intricate dialectics. It is such a work that the author took up for deep research and has presented an academic thesis on diverse systems and Sri Desika's defence of Visishtadvaita against them. The book consistently summarises the paths of Bhakti and Saranagati as issuing from the Visish- tadvaita concept of the Jiva Iswara relationship. We were fortunate to secure the services of two competent scholars to edit this book so as to make it of usefulness to students of Indian Philosophy. -

Srimad-Bhagavatam Is Glorified As the Ripened Fruit of the Tree of Vedic Knowledge and the Representative of God in Book Form
The First Book of the SRI-SAFSANDARBHA Tdtion& Commentary Satya Niirliyana D&a Kundali DIsa L-P- -- -- Srila Prabhupada has often glorified Srila Jiva Gosvami for h is wonderful accomplishment-SH-sad-~andahha (Thesix Essences) In the Caitanya-caritamrta he writes: False devotees, lacking the conclusion of-tran- scendental knowledge, think that artificially shedding tears will deliver them. Similarly, other false devotees think that studying books of the previous Bcaryas is unadvisable, like studying dry empiric philosophies. But srila Jiva Gosvami, following the previous acaryas, has inculcated the conclusions of the scriptures in the six theses called the Sat-sandarbhas. False devotees who have very little knowledge of such conclusions fail to achieve pure devotion for want of zeal in accepting the favorable di- rections for devotional service given by self- - realized devotees. Such false devotees are like impersonalists, who also consider devotional service no better than ordinary fruitive actions. Here hila Prabhupada asserts that the conclusions of the scriptures are in the Sat-Sandarbhas. Devotees eager to be fortified with these conclusions will there- fore pay close attention to the presentation of the Sandarbhas in English, complete with illuminating com- mentary on the words of ~rilaJiva Gosvami. Such scrutinizing study is especially cherished by devotees who are dedicated to the preaching mission of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.Today, sadly, even among those in the direct line of Jiva Gosvami, study of the Sandarbhas is neglected. ~rilaPrabhupada, however, before embarking on his mission to bring Krsna.. con- l sciousness to the Western world, prepared himself by studying the Sat-Sandarbhas and has encouraged his followers to do the same. -

Bhagavad Gita
Srimad Bhagavad Gita English Translation of Sri Sankaracharya's Sanskrit Commentary Swami Gambhirananda Source: Project Gutenberg Chapter 21 2.10 O descendant of Bharata, to him who was sorrowing between the two armies, Hrsikesa, mocking as it were, said these words: English Translation of Sri Sankaracharya's Sanskrit Commentary - Swami Gambhirananda 2.10 And here, the text commencing from 'But seeing the army of the Pandavas' (1.2) and ending with '(he) verily became silent, telling Him (Govinda), "I shall not fight"' is to be explained as revealing the cause of the origin of the defect in the from of sorrow, delusion, etc. [Delusion means want of discrimination. Etc. stands for the secondary manifestations of sorrow and delusion, as also ignorance which is the root cause of all these.] which are the sources of the cycles of births and deaths of creatures. Thus indeed, Ajuna's own sorrow and delusion, cuased by the ideas of affection, parting, etc., originating from the erroneous belief, 'I belong to these; they belong to me', with regard to kingdom [See note under verse 8.-Tr.], elders, sons, comrades, well-wishers (1.26), 1 Sri Sankaracharya begins his commentary of the Gita only from the 10th verse of 2nd Chapter. 2 kinsmen (1.37), relatives (1.34) and friends, have been shown by him with the words, 'How can I (fight)...in battle (against) Bhisma' (4), etc. It is verily because his discriminating insight was overwhelmed by sorrow and delusion that, even though he had become engaged in battle out of his own accord as a duty of the Ksatriyas, he desisted from that war and chose to undertake other's duties like living on alms etc. -

1. PRAMEYA in ADVAITA VEDANTA {AMANASKA YOGA) 1.0. Prameya
14 1. PRAMEYA IN ADVAITA VEDANTA {AMANASKA YOGA) 1 1.0. Prameya 1 i Oneness of the individual soul and Brahman, the pure corjscious- ness, is the prameya, the subject matter of Advaita Vedanta; f<^r there lies the purport of the Vedantas ; ■ visayah jivabrahmaikyam suddhacaitanyam prameyam, tatra eva vedantanam tatparyat.' The existence of such pure-consciousness as the non-duat reality is realized with confirmation from three stand points: (1) Direct .Experi- ence, (2) Inference and (3) Support of the authority (sr^i-yukti-antfbhuti)./ H i 1.1. Direct experience {aparoksanubhuti) » I All disturbances, sufferings, problems, tensions, tragedies and dif ficulties etc. are the outcome of the agitation of mind. When mind is quiet, it is in a state of all peace and tranquility. This state is caljled qui escent consciousness, which never takes any part in any fact of act, as said in the Pat^adaii : manojrmbhanarahitye yathia saksi nirakulah/ mayajrmbhanatah purvam sat tathaiva nirakulam/P The witnessing consciousness becomes pure, calm and unigitated, if the mind is devoid of all mentations. Similarly, the prameydk (sat) is known to be pure, calm and unruffled prior to the function of niaya (the creative impulse). The Advaitic tradition enjoins upon man to tfanscend 15 the source of duality i.e. the mind, intellect, vital energy, ego and igno rance etc, as the prerequisite to have a direct experience of the reality, - ~ ' ~~ f the p ra m eya . Acarya S ankara’s N irvanasatkam comjlrising "manobuddhyahamkaracittani naham”^ is an instance of the direct experienc of the reality, the pure-consciousness. -
The Basic Standpoint of the Lankavatara Sutra (Continued)
svacittam: The Basic Standpoint of the Lankavatara sutra (continued) Gishin Tokiwa I. The 108 questions and answers: We considered "svacittamatram," the basic standpoint of the Lankavatara sutra (Lanka), and we should now ask what kind of concern this comes from. At the beginning of the second chapter the sutra cites Mahamati's "108 questions" and the Buddha's "108 phrases" as answers to the questions. It is those questi- ons that seem to show the sutra-compiler's existential concern. One of the que- stions which attracts our attention most is: "samadhyate katham cittam." (2, k 19a)This reminds us of the question Hui-k'o asked of Bodhidharma: 請 和 尚 安 心(『 祖 堂 集 』 第 二). A question like "baddhah kah" (k 14b) sounds really penetrating. Another question, "dhyayinam visayah ko'sau," (k 14c) asks not only the nature of a special yoga experience but the very nature of what is external to the yogin himself Many of the questions concern doctrinal concepts of Buddhism, but some of them are about actual human life, and others about natural phenomena. One may wonder, then, in what respect these various questions are related to each other. It seems to me that they are all deeply related in the sense that they arise from and return to the very question, "samadhyate katham cittam." The term "cittam" here means not only an individual's religious anxiety but the whole world questioned as one's own total being. The phenomenal world is rid of its miscellaneousness in that it is none other than "svacitta-drsyamatram." This point is suggested by the 108 phrases as answers to the 108 questions.
