May the glorious Venkatanatha, the greatest of teachers of Vedanta, and the lion among poets and debaters, reside forever in my heart.

Dearest Srivaishnavas,

Here is yet another upakAram - as mentioned beautifully by His Holiness Srimath Azhagiya singar 45th pattam- in one of his upanyasams. [as posted by Sri Satakopan, USA in his inimitable style]

kazhiyAtha KaDuvinayil paDintha nammaik-
kaalam ithu yenRorukkAl kaaval seythu
pazhiyAtha Nall-vinayil paDinthAr thALil
paNivitthup paasankaL adaya neekki
suzhiyAtha sevvazhiyil ThuNaivarODE
tolayAtha pErinbham tara mEl-yERRi
azhiyAtha AruLAzhip PerumAn seyyum
anthamilA Udhavi yellAm aLappAr AarE ?

--Swamy Desikan's UpakAra Sangraham: Last Paasuram

The title chosen by Srimath Azhagiya Singar for His VyAsam (essay) is " PazhiyAtha nall-Vazhiyil paadinthAr "( One who has performed the blemishless and auspicious upAyam of Prapatthi as a sacred AchAryan).

Text of the translation
************************
We have committed powerful sins that can not be removed by any number of prAyacchitthams(expiatory rites). Emperumaan is always thinking about the appropriate time to protect us committing such heinous paapams. When some of the good deeds (sukruthams) fruition , then our Lord
comes forth to protect us , the paapAthmAs(sinful ones).

At that time, He does not come to our rescue directly . He makes us fall at the feet of a SadaachAryan and starts us thereby to ascend the steps of Parama Padham led by AdhivAhikars.

Who can inded measure the many and munificent parmaOpakArams of our Lord through linking us --engaged in unrelenting paapa kaaryams-- to the unbroken chain of AchArya paramparai ? Indeed ,there is no one , who can adequately measure and describe the great upakArams of the Lord to us , the JeevAthmAs in this matter .

This UpakAra sangraham paasuram of Swamy Desikan needs to be reflected upon by all aasthikAs.In this tradition , many AchArya paramparais of Bhagavath RaamAnuja SampradhAyam strive intensely for the upliftment (ujjIvanam)of their sishyA paramparais.

Thanks to Sri Satakopan swAmin for his permission.
