Of all the four things sought after by man or the Chaturvidha Phala Purushardhams i.e. Dharma, Ardha, Kama and Moksha, it is Moksham alone that confers eternal happiness on human beings. Moksham can be obtained only through a correct understanding of the Aadhyatmica Sastras and since these Aadhyatmic Sastras in propagation are different in ways, instead of depending on the interpretations favoured by ancient scholars from times immemorial, Sri Nagalinga Sastry garu stated in the foreword to his book in Moksha Swaroopa Nirnayam that he was interested in discerning himself, which way is in consonance and according to all the authentic Sastras on the subject. He believed in -

(i) Ateendriyardhe Srutireva Pramanam i.e. that in all matters, which cannot be perceived by the senses Sruti i.e. Vedas alone are "Pramanam" or authentic.

(ii) The meanings and interpretations decided by the Vedacharya, Sri Veda Vyasa in Brahma Sutrams alone is the correct meaning of the Sruti or Vedardham.

(iii) Of the meanings explained in Brahma Sutra Bhashyams written by various commentators, those meanings which are sound and interpreted in unison and without contradiction or rejection as non authentic, some portions of the "Veda Vangmayam" is alone the correct meaning or interpretation according to Veda Vyasa. Further in order to give a decision or Parishkaram on the subjects dealt in the Bhashyam particularly on forms of - (1) Siddhanta, (2) Adhikari, (3) Sadhana, (4) Jagat, (5) Brahma, (6) Jeeva, (7) Gati and (8)Mukti. The author has written another book in Sanskrit called Vedantardha Parishkara Taraharam, to explain these in detail.

(A final decision in the form of a necklace on the meanings of the Vedas)

(The form of salvation stated in the Vedas)

In order to bring the important points stated in Brahmapatham and Vedantartha Parishkara Tara Haram, both of which are in Sanskrit, the author published another book in Telugu i.e. Moksha Swaroopa Nirnayam, for the benefit of the people of this Trilinga Desam or Telugu Desam or Andhra Pradesh. The people of this Trilinga Desam worship the absolute Brahman, Siva stated in the Vedas in Jyotir Linga roopam, as Ista, Bhava and Prana Lingas, by wearing the Ista Linga on their body and concentrating and worshipping on the Ista, Prana and Bhava Lingas. Therefore, this great territory has come to be known as Trilinga Desam since ages and the people as "Telungulu". The author hoped that the good people of the world over, consider his works in right earnest and make his efforts succeed and benefit by going through his works.

This book is brought out into English and published by Siva Jnana Lahari (Regd.)
