Mumukshupadi of Swami Pillailokacharyar - Know yourself !!
We, the jeevatmas, enjoy an intimate relationship with the Paramatma. Realising this relationship culminates into a perennial spring of joy. The most important source of this
knowledge is known as Rahasyatraya the three sacred mantras Tirumantram, Dvayam and Caramaslokam.
- Tirumantram depicts the Master and servant relationship,
- Caramasloka instructs absolute surrender (Saranagati) as the only option for the servant for spiritual union with his Master, and
- Dvaya is for chanting during actual performance of Saranagati and requesting service.
All the three rahasyas are short in words but deeper than the ocean in their esoteric meanings.
Rahasyatraya knowledge is a must for every mumukshu (one who is longing for Srivaikuntha).
Kanchi Devaraja incarnated as Swamy Pillailokacarya, and to unravel the mysticism of Rahasyas, delivered 18 divine works revered as ashtadasa rahasyas.
Mumukshupadi is the most important of them on the subject of Rahasyatraya. It comprises of
three chapters, namely, Tirumantra prakarana, Dvaya Prakarana and Caramasloka Prakarana.
The text is in the form of aphorisms (sutra), where minimum words are used for maximum meanings. This text needed a detailed commentary, which was an in born talent of Swamy
Manavala Mamunikal.
Being an incarnation of Adisesha, who had thousand divine tongues, Manavala Mamunigal inherited the power of description and so was renowned as Visada Vak Sikhamanigal.
Now, we have an opportunity to study Mumukshupadi at home. As a first step we would start with tirumantra prakaranam,(115 sutras) and understand the glories of Paramatma and Jivatma. Tirumantram surpasses all other mantras as it houses the unique Narayana namam.
Andal, in the first verse of Tiruppavai, proclaims that Narayana is the bestower of divine service (narayanane namakke parai taruvan)
