SRI: SrImathE Nigamantha Mahadesikaya namah: Dearest srivaishnavas Sri Muralidhar has shared his great anubhavams on Sri sthuthi and thanks to him for granting permission to post this to public Regards Namo Narayana dAsan ----Original Message Follows---- From: "rangaswamy_m" <rangaswamy_m@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Madhavakkannan V" <srivaishnavan@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Thuppul PiLLai- 49- SrI Sthuthi Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2003 16:01:08 -0000 Sri: SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Dearest Sriman Madhavakkannan Swamin, Thanks a lot for your wonderful but brief tribute to Our Supreme Mother from the most beautiful Stotram of Swami Desikan. It is important to note that Swami Desikan is very careful even in his choice of the number of verses used in a given Stotram. For example Our Acharyan uses 25 verses in the Sri Stuthi. This is due to the fact that mA is the EkAksharam for Thayar. On account of the fact that the Lord is never separated from Thayar, he begets the name Madhavan. Now mA is the 25th aksharam of the Devanagari alphabet. Also, the dvaya mantram, which has 25 aksharams advocates the principle of unconditional total surrender to the Lotus Feet of Lord Narayana, never separated from Sri. Swami Desikan mirrors a number of vedic truths in this consummate description of Thayar's glories. For example, in the verse "asyEshAna thvamasi jagata:..." Swami Desikan brings out the important tribute from the nILA sooktham "pruthivyA asyE shAna jagathO vishNu pathni". In verse 23, Swami Desikan employs the prayOgam "thath thvam asi" from the ChAndogya Upanishad to describe thayar. In short, Swami Desikan brings out with consummate effect the six meanings underlying the term Sri in this exquisite Stuthi. Thanks again for your beautiful post.
