Swamy Deshikan Thiruvadigale Sharanam !!! Sri Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Guruparamparaayai Namaha !!! Tomorrow Adi punarvasu marks the 120th thirunakshatram of Srimath Abhinava Ranganatha Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Yatindra Maha Deshikan. Swamy adorned the peetam as the 33rd acharya of the illustrious Parakala Matam established by Sri Brahmatantra-Swatantra Parakaala Maha Deshikan under the direct command of Swamy Deshikan. Swamy studied the scriptures from Sri Krishna Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Maha Deshikan and also obtained the sacraments of samAshrayaNam from Him. He performed prapatti at the feet of Sri Varadaramanuja Maha Deshikan (popularly known as Denkanikottai Swamy) and obtained initiation into the monastic order from Sri Vageesha Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Maha Deshikan. Swamy adorned the peetam for many decades and was one of the greatest acharyas of Ramanuja sampradayam. He had innumerable disciples who studied at his feet. They include the 34th, 35th and the present 36th pattam acharyas of Parakala Matam. It also includes Srimath Paravakkottai Poundarikapuram Srimath Andavan Srimath Gopala Deshika Maha Deshikan, the present acharya of Srimath Poundarikapuram Andavan Ashramam. Swamy's depth in terms of Vedanta was immense. He was adored by one and all for his erudition and vairaagyam. His strength of detachment was phenomenal. He was responsible for the all-round development of many institutions and establishments of Sri Brahmatantra-Swatantra Parakaala Matham. He has published many books of Poorvaachaaryas and has authored many of his own. Some examples of his compositions include - Goodhartha prakasha: a great work on SriBhashyam, his three volumed commentary on Swamy Deshikan's Tattvamuktakalapa and many more. He was absolutely uncompromising when it came to anushtaanam and observances as per shastram. Sriman KotikannikAdAnam Krishna Thathacharya has composed a wonderful work on this great acharya titled "Navyarangastuti". A commentary to this work composed by U. Ve Venkatanathacharya, Srikaryam of Parakala Matham, was released recently to mark Swamy Deshikan's thirunakshatram and the centenary of Sri Krishna Thathacharya. Srimath Abhinava Ranganatha Swamy's 120th Thirunakshatram will be celebrated in a befitting manner at Mysore tomorrow. Srimath Abhinava Vageesha Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Maha Deshikan, the presiding acharya has so far celebrated 11 mAsa thirunakshatrams of this acharya (monthly thirunakshatram) at various divya deshams. The final one will be celebrated tomorrow.

Beams he like the confluence of Maaran, Yatiraja and Vedanta Deshika. He is resplendent without any papams and is the sworn enemy of Kali doshams. He who stays at the feet of Lakshmi Hayagriva and considers the aradhanam of His Paduka as the parama purushartha (ultimate goal of attainment), Glory unto him!" ------------------------ Yahoo!
