Sri:

Dear Sri Vaishnavas,

The intent of this mail is to share the greatness of the acharya 
Swamy Desikan on his Thirunakshatram day. There is no intent to hurt 
any one in any form.

Let's enjoy the greatness of our dear VEDANTHACHARYAN, Swamy Desikan 
on this auspicious day. Swamy Desikan's divine son Sri Kumara 
Varadhachariyar enjoys Swamy Desikan's divine form in his work Pillai-
Antathi. He enjoys the greatness of his acharyan in the fourth 
pasuram. The below translation is from the U Ve Sri 
RamaDesikachariyar's commentary on Swamy Desika Prabandham.

uyyum vagaiyilai yutthara vEthiyuL vandhuthittha
seyyavaN mEviya seeraru LaaLaraich sindhaiseyu
meyyava Nnendhai yiraamaa NnusanaruL mEvivaazhu
maiya Nnilanguthoop puRpiLLai yaayndha poruLanRiyE.

Swamy Desikan who lives in continuous contemplation on Sri 
PerArulalan inseparable from Sri PerundhDevi Thayar who came 
(avatharam) from the yaga-vedhi after four headed Brahma's asvamedha-
yagam and who lives only by the mercy of the great Bagawath 
Bashyakara, has blessed with many divine works which brings out the 
essence of Vedantham. The essence of Swamy Desikan's works is the 
only way to get liberated from this material world. There is no other 
means for the bounded souls for liberation except from Swamy 
Desikan's works.

There are so many authors in this world claim their work as "AS IT 
IS". Whose work is accepted as "AS IT IS"? 

1. Vedantham AS IT IS - Today, few of us are talking about parama-
vaidhika matham. It's possible because Swamy Desikan who blessed us 
the essence of the Vedantam "AS IT IS" through his divine works like 
Isavasyopanishad Bhashya, Tattva-mukta-kalapa, Satadushani,etc.

2. Bagawath Geetha AS IT IS ? Today, many are giving lectures and 
talks on Bagawath Geetha. It was Swamy Desikan who blessed us the 
essence of Geethacharyan "AS IT IS" through his divine works like 
Gitartha Sangraha Raksha, Tatparya Chandrika.

3. Brahma Sutra AS IT IS ? Today, people are talking about Brahma 
Sutras without fundamental knowledge on logics and vedantham. It was 
Swamy Desikan who blessed us the purport of Brahma Sutras and Sri 
Bashyam "AS IT IS" " through his divine works like Sri Adhikarana 
Saravali, Nyaya Parisuddhi, Nyaya Siddhanjana, etc.

4. Srimath Valmiki Ramayanam AS IT IS ? Today, many discourses are 
being delivered on Ramayanam in various parts of this world. It was 
Swamy Desikan who blessed us the essence of Srimath Valmiki 
Ramayanam "AS IT IS" through his divine works like Abhaya Pradhana 
Saaram. Currently, this work is being delivered by U Ve Sri Hari in 
Singapore in a traditional kaalakshepam style.

5. Divya Prabandham AS IT IS ? Today, many many of us are talking 
about the divine works of Azhwars. It was Swamy Desikan who blessed 
us the essence of Divya Prabandham AS IT IS through his divine works 
like Dramidopanishat Tatparya Ratnavali, Dramidopanishat Sara, 
NigamaParimalam, Muni-Vahana Bogham, Daya Sathakam, etc.

6. Bagawath Ramanuja AS IT IS ? It was Swamy Desikan, the one and 
only acharya who analyzed and presented Bagawath Ramanuja's works AS 
IT IS through his divine works like Sri Adhikarana Saravali, Gadya 
Bashyam, etc.

7. Bagawath Ramajuja's Rahasya Artham AS IT IS ? It was Swamy 
Desikan, the one and only acharya who analyzed and re-established the 
secret meanings of Thirumantram, Mantra Ratnam & Carama Slokam AS IT 
IS. It was Swamy Desikan who re-estalished Bagawath Ramanuja's 
rahasya artham "AS IT IS" which came thorough the kidaampi Aachaan 
who served (did kainkaryam) intimately to Bhagavath Raamaanuja muni 
in his tiru-madai-paLLi (divine cooking place) and was the most 
blessed disciple (Sishya) with wisdom in entirety of Bhagavath 
Raamaanuja muni. Swamy Desikan says this in "yativaranAr madai-paLLi 
vanda maNAm engal vArttayuL manniyadE" and it can be seen in his 
divine works like Sriamth Rahasya Traya Saram and Chillarai Rahasyams 
(Tattva Padavo, Rahasya Padavi, etc).

8. Acharya Bakthi AS IT IS ? It was Swamy Desikan who exhibited the 
real acharya bhakthi "AS IT IS" through his divine works like Sri 
Yathiraja Saptathi, Sankalpa Suryodayam, Sri Padhuka Sahasram, etc.

9. Anushtanam AS IT IS ? It was Swamy Desikan who practiced the Dos 
and Don'ts of the sastra "AS IT IS". Srimath Valmiki says in Srimath 
Ramayanam, Dharmam has taken the form of Sri Rama. Similarly, the 
same dharmam has taken the form of Swamy Desikan. We know about his 
anushtanams from the history and through his divine works like 
Saccharitra Raksha and Sri Vaishnava Dinasari.

There is no end to the list of AS IT IS from Swamy Desikan. There is 
nothing left by this acharya for us to say AS IT IS in any topic in 
this world.

There is no means for us to repay in any form to this acharyan for 
showing us the path to get liberated from this material world.

Let us all recite the following pasuram from Pillai Antathi to 
contemplate the divine form of Swamy Desikan.

arudaru maaraNa dhEsiga NnEyanga tooppuRREvE
varukavi thaarkkika singamE vaathiyar vaazhvaRuththaa
yirukaiyuNG kooppi yuraikkumiv viNNappa monRukELaa
yuruva venakkaru LaayeNNu muLLamun RoNdaraiyE.

The credit of this post goes to Sri Hari from whom I am learning the 
tattva-hitha-purushartham. If anything is wrong in this post, it is 
due to my rajo and thamo gunams.

Srimathe Nigamatha Maha Desikaya Namaha

Srimath Andavan Thiruvadigale Saranam

Ramanuja dasan Vijay
