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. 

His taniyan is as follows 

Sri Krishna brahmatantroiththama gurukaruNA vApta chakrAnkabhAshyam
vairAgyAchAravArdhau varadapadamukhe lakshmaNe nyasta bhAram
shrIvAgIshAththaturyam ShaTaripuyatirADvedachUDArya mUrthim

shrIlakshmI hayagrIva divyamaNi pAdukAsevaka shrImadabhinava RanganAtha
brahmatantra swatantra parakAla yatIndra mahA deshikAya namaH

"I seek refuge at the holy feet of Srimath Abhinava Ranganatha, who obtained
the sacraments of samashrayanam from Sri Krishna Brahmatantra-Swatantrar,
performed prapatti at the feet of Varada
Lakshmana, who was like an ocean of Vairagya and Acharam and obtained
initiation into the fourth order of Sanyasam from Srimath Vagisha
Brahmatantra-Swatantrar. 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!"
