Dearest all,
In the post -Desika period, extending over six
centuries, Srivaishnavism as it is popularly known,
has developed thus as two parallel lines, one sect
owing its allegiance to Swamy Desikan and the other to
Sri Manavala MaamunigaL, observes Sri SMS Chari in his
wonderful book on Vaishnavism.
We have seen in the last post the thennAcharya
paramparai from Ramanujacharya upto Sri Manavala
Maamuni and subsequent acharya/ mathams as well. [as
enlisted by Sri TA Varadhan Swami].
Before diving into asmadhAchAryan paramparai in Sri
Poundarikapuram Andavan Ashrama, let me mention about
Sri Ahobila Mutt and Sri Parakalamutt.
Sri Vadakku thiruveedhi Pillai?s sishya was
Srirangachar. Srirangachar?s sishya was Sri KesavAchAr
and he is the AchArya for Sri AdhivaN SatakOpar- the
sthPakar of Sri Ahobila Mutt (please see Sri
Parthasarathy Dileepan?s web page Sri Ahobila Mutt
Home page ? http://www.ahobilamutt.org ) and enjoy the
rich, deep content. Pay your obeisance to Praritham
Jeer, His Holiness Srimad Azhagiya Singar 45th Pattam
who adorns the Peetam of Sri Ahobila Mutt.
Sri Ahobila Mutt Paramparai: [after Sri
Ramanujacharya]
Bhagavad Ramanujacharya
Srimath Embar
Srimath Parasara Bhattar
Srimath Nanjeeyar
Srimath Nampillai
Srimath Vadakku Thiruveedi Pillai - Sri
Pillailokacharyar's father and Acharyan]
Srimath Srirangachariyar
Srimath Kesavachariyar
Srimath Kamalavasar
Srimath Kesacvachariyar
Srimath AthivaNN satakopan
Sri AdhivaNN SatakOpar also comes in the AchArya
paramparai of every one of us in Munitraya sampradaym
as well, as he had attended KalakshEpam and studied
SriBhashyam, Bhagavad Vishayam from GhatikAsatham
ammAL [also in Muitraya acharya paramparai], but has
been initiated by Swami Kesavachar from whom he learnt
Rahasyaarthams.
Thus, Bhagavad Vishaya / Kalakshepa paramparai for Sri
Ahobila Muth sishyas:
Bhagavad Ramanujacharya
Thiru Kurugaipiran Pillan
Srimath Engalazhvan
Srimath Nadadur Ammal
Srimath Appullar
Swami Sri Desikan
Sri Nayinarachariyar
Sri Brahma Thanthra Swathanthra Swami
Gadikasatam Ammal
Srimath Athivan satakopan
Thus the Vadakalai sect has had a long line of
successions of acharyas and two important mathams or
religious centers among them that came into existence
known as Ahobila Matham and Parakala Matham- both
headed by eminent ascetics [sanyaasis] for the
propogation of Ramanuja darshanam as propounded by
Swami Nigamantha Maha Desikan.
There is another line of acharyas which is also
avvicchinnam [uninterrupted] from Desikan through
Thirukkudanthai Desikan to present day acharyas,
called as Srimad Andavan Ashramam and other glorious
Swamacharyas.
Thus Parakala matham was established by Sri Parakala
Brahmathanthra Swathanthra Jeer Swamy ?a Primary
disciple of Swamy Desikan and as per Swamy Desikan?s
niyamanam. Swamy also had a son NainAchAryar (Sri
Kumara Varadacharyar), who is in our AchArya lineage
in Bagavath vishaya paramparai, as Brahmathanthra
Swamy did his kaalakshEpam of Bhagavath Vishyam only
from NainAchAryar. He chose to learn from Swamy?s son
as he desired to have Swamy?s son also as his
Acharyan. What a guNA of Brahmathanthra Jeer Swamy!
(Please browse the excellent website on Sri
Parakalamutt- http://www.parakalamatham.org
and enjoy the beautiful darshan of Sri Lakshmi
Hayagrivan and Srimad Abhinava vAgheesa Brahma
Thanthra ParakAla Swami (The Prakritam Jeer Swami- The
present Pontiff of the Mutt.)
Let us enjoy Munithraya sampradaya vaibhavam next.
