SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya nama:

Dearest all,

The Lord is extremely merciful and helps us in very
many ways. His upakaarams are numerous. Even our mere
existence is His grace? He can simply say: That?s it
and close the show..?. It is His mercy that he is
giving us a chance to think and rectify ourselves
Let us enjoy Swami Desikan?s upakara sangraham. Swami
enlists further upakaarams of the Lord in his upakaara
sangraham. 

1. propagation of Vedas through four headed BrahmA
before the Creation of the Universe. 

2. Propagation of Epics like Srimad Ramayana,
Mahabharatha and PuraaNaas through Sages which explain
clearly the meaning of Vedas. 

3. Creation of Guru- Paramapara to preach the Veda
through Saasthras to the proper disciples 

4. When the people in the world get illusioned with
the spread of several religions and philosophies
opposed to the Vedas the Lord took incarnation of
Dattatreya and took sanyaasa and saved Vedas.

5. Propagation of the meanings of Vedas to the people
through AzhwArs and Acharyas.

6. wherever there is a decline in the performance of
Dharma,  to get rid of the wicked people and to
protect good people, taking the incarnations
[avathArams] in this world in theform of Sri Rama and
Sri Krishna et al, and attracting people by the beauty
of His divine Body and correcting the people by
preachings like Srimad Bhagavad Gita and divine
actions also. 

7. When we have committed endless sins, making us to
take birth as stationery objects like trees creatures
and animals which cannot perform religious rites as
stipulated in scriptures

8. Making us to be born in the families observing Sri
Ramanuja sampradaya which is the unparalleled and
unambiguous one. 

9. Making our minds  not getting  influenced by other
religions like Buddism, Jainism, VaishEshika,
Charvaaka and Saankhya etc. which are opposed to Vedic
religion and philosophy. 

10. To approach a good SadAchAryan there are six
requirements, affection [sankalpa] of the Lord,
inadvertently [atleast] doing a good deed, Lord?s
grace, meeting sath people [good people], and talking
with them on sath vishayams.; making an individual to
approach a sadAchArya by fulfilling the above six
requirements. 

11. Making the individual the target of the grace of
the SadhAchArya. 

12. Removing from our minds the evil thoughts like I
myself am the God [swathanthra bhramam]; and I will
not bow down to others.

13. Just like Arjuna listened to the teachings of
Bhagavd Gita by Lord Sri Krishna with rapt attention,
the preachings if SadAcharyan. 

14. Making an individual get the upadesa of the three
divine mantras from SadhAchAryan. 

15. Showing the Supreme Being as the Lord Sriman
Narayanan [Para tattva], Saranagati as the Supreme
Means [Parama hitham]. mOksha or eternal Bliss and
eternal service at SrivaikuNtam is the Supreme Goal
[Parama Purushartham] 

16. Seeing that the atheistic [naasthika] thought does
not enter into the mind of ours nor influenced by
anybody.

17. Making us to develop an unshakeable desire to
attain moksham and making us to get detached from the
worldly desires and from the desire to attain heaven,
which are also short-lived and transitory attainments

18. Making us not becoming devoted towards other Gods
[devathAnthara Bhramam] other than the Only One
Supreme Lordship Sriman Narayanan. 

19. Granting the will to an individual and giving me a
thought towards performance of  Saranagati at His
Lotus Feet to attract His Grace. 
[The upakarams - as extracted from the wrote up by Sri
U Ve Anantha Narasimhachariar Swami, Srirangam.]

With all these upakaarams done by the Lord, the
Jeevathma [we] decide to approach the SadhAchAryan who
comes in this most wonderful Acharya Lineage of
Srivaishnava acharyas. Let us begin to enjoy the
Guruparampara / Acharya and AzhwArs? glories in
subsequent posts..
