We are pleased to inform you that we have just started teaching Sri
Mahaveera Vaibhavam (also called Raghuveera Gadyam) in Sri Ramanuja
Mission of Srirangam Srimath Andavan Ashramam's weekly Tele-Sthothram
Classes (over telephone bridge in US). This is one of the most
beautiful composition among all the great compositions of Swami
Desikan.

Even in Swami Desikan's own words in the last line of this Gadyam
(Prose), he says this Sthothram is filled with words which
are "katOra SukumAra gumbha gambeeram" (i.e words which are very
tough sounding (katOra) but yet mellifluous (sukumAra)". In one of
Sriman Sadagopan's write-up on this sthothram he has translated it
beautifully as "This gadhyam has deep meanings and is constituted by
the union of tender words with feminine charm and powerful words with
masculine attributes . Please recite this gadhyam that serves as the
most effective medicine for the removal of the fear ofSamsArA)

This is a prose about Lord Sri Rama's vaibhavam (hence named
Mahaveera Vaibhavam and Raghuveera Gadyam) where within just 94
slokas, you get the benefit of reciting the entire Ramayanam. This
work alone is enough to expound the greatness of Swami Desikan. In
just one slokam he has captured the entire essence of Sundara Kaandam
(47th slokam "apAra pArAvAra..").

So, please dont let this opportunity to learn this great sthothram
slip by. If you miss half way through, it might be difficult to catch
up.

Every Saturday, 12.30 PM - 1.30 PM
For this week, the Dial-in # is: 858-400-4040 Passcode: 08817#

regards,
Shyamsundar Sreenivasan
