Sarvamoola Granthagala parichaya
By
Shri Nagendrachar
To understand Bhagavantha is a great sadhana. In the ancient days people were reading the shastras. In the younger days itself people
were able to understand Bhagavantha in ancient days.. But in the present day, nobody is interested to understand Bhagavantha.
When Brahma created all sorts of animals, he was not satisfied. When he created man who is capable of understanding Bhagavantha, he became happy. To overcome the sorrows in samsara, one should read Veda and Upanishads.
Sarvamoola grantha covers all the vedopanishaths.
Everyone wishes to lead a good life. If we are happy, we can find happiness in ourselves. When we are not happy, we find sorrows in ourselves. When we are happy, we will not think of anything other than happiness. Whoever is in a good position will be always having some pain or the other. Happiness comes due to hard work. In Sarvamoola grantha one can enjoy happiness. Before understanding Sarwamoola Grantha, one has to sacrifice the love towards jagath (world). One should not think of father, son, Gold, etc. We do not know that GOD is as great as Gold. To read Sarwamoola Grantha, vairagya is the requirement. There are thousands of communities or groups in the world. All dharma agree with the concept of GOD. Teekacharyaru has opined that the GOD has sarvothama lakshanagalu or paripurna.
Second Chapter: The condemnation of yukti. Mannu (mud) do not speak.
3rd chapter: There is no happiness in vairagya, hell (naraka) or samsara. If one wants to be happy one should understand Bhagavantha. Without vairagya, one cannot attain moksha. Step by step one can reach vairagya. By doing Ekadashi upavasa, by performing chaturmasa, eating only satvik food. The next step is Bhakti. Listen to the GOD’S mahathme. The next step is to find out the ways to posses GOD.
4th Chapter: Aporoksha Jnana. Inside body’s knowledge is understood. After coming to Brahma loka, after bathing in viraja nadi (river), the eternal happiness is obtained. Here in all the Ruthus, sorrow is there. But there only happiness will be there all the time. Whatever is desired, it is fulfilled. The relationship between husband and wife, the relationship between Teacher (Guru) and student (shishya) is eternal. In Moksha one can experience unlimited happiness. For everyone, the chethana itself is the vehicle. For infinite period, one will remain young in moksha. This was revealed by Shri Madwacharya. In heaven (swarga) one lives till the completion of his/her punya period ends. Veda is a very secret subject. This should not be disclosed to ordinary people.
Madhwacharya first wrote Geetha Bhashya. From this Grantha we must understand Madwacharya. Sarvamoola Gantha is nothing but moksha shastra. Bhagavantha’s krupe can be obtained by reading Sarwamoola Grantha.
First we must follow the principles. Then the reading of shatras must be done. We will not be a burden to Bhagavantha. Bhagavantha is the only person who will be with us always. The reflection of our sins is samsara. Sarwamoola Grantha must be read by pious people only. The reading of sutras is the step towards knowledge (Jnana) and devotion (Bhakti) of Bhagavantha.
River is not just water. Devathes (Angels) presence will be there in the Rivers. The difference in the importance of the rivers is due to the presence of different angels (Devathes) in the Rivers. If the rivers are allowed to flow naturally according to their paths without constructions of dams, the catastrophies that we are facing today would not have been there. It is scientifically known that the rivers joining the Ocean converts to steam from which clouds are formed and the rainfall takes place in the same direction wherever the rivers had flown. In the olden days they were constructing ponds everywhere. They were not constructing dams. Because of the construction of dams, the continuous flow of water in its natural habitation is not there, we are not getting rains properly everywhere. Here the question arises that why the ocean water cannot convert into steam. The reason is that the Rivers are considered as females and the Oceans are considered as males. From the union of rivers and the Oceans rain comes. This is the advance technology which we know.
We take training for improving our task here. Likewise if we want to reach Bhagavantha we must be like Bhagavantha. This cannot be attained in one janma. After very many janmas only we come to that stage.
Madwacharya created 37 granthas. For Brahma sutra he wrote “Anu vyakyana” which is a wonderful grantha. (Teekacharya wrote tatwa prakashika and Nyayasudha.) He also prayed GOD with “Dwadasha stotra” while installing Krishna prathime in Udupi. All the Granthas of Madhwacharya depicts “Vishnu as Sarvothama”. He has written Bhashyas for 10 Upanishads.
“Mahabharatha tatparya nirnaya” is the authority of all the remaining shastras. It contains 32 Chapters.
The description of “Ramayana” is found from 4th chapter to 9th chapter. In the 10th Chapter, Vedavysara story is told. From 11th chapter to 32nd chapter it is about “Mahabharatha”. In the 22nd chapter the vanavasa of Pandavas are described. From 25th chapter to 29th chapter the war description is given. 30th chapter the Pandavas enter Hastinapura. In the 31st chapter the Rajasuya Yaaga Yagna is described.
In Bhagavatha Thathparya Nirnaya, Vishnu Sahasranama, Geetha Bhashya, Geetha Thathparya we find no difference among these Granthas.
From Dwadasha stotras it is possible to obtain Bhakti. Harikathamruthasara is another grantha from which one can get Bhakti towards Bhagavantha.
From reading or understanding Sarwamoola Grantha, one gets a great relief in his birth.
It is advised to recite Teekacharya stotra, Raghavendra Swamy stotra, Vyasaraja stotra daily without fail.
