Swamy Deshikan Thiruvadigale Sharanam !!!

Today Chittirai - Revathi is the Thirunakshatram of prakrutam Parakala
Matham Swamy Srimad Abhinava Vageesha Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala
Yatindra Maha Deshikan.
Following is a small work in English titled "Abhinava Vageesha Vijayam".to
celebrate the glories of asmad swamy.
The merciful indulgence of Bhagavathas is sought for any unintended errors
and mistakes.

=============================================================
Sri Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Matham with Sri Lakshmi
Hayagriva as the presiding deity, is the foremost monastic institution of
Bhagavad Ramanuja / Swamy Deshika Sampradayam. This institution was
established under the direct command of Swamy Deshikan who shines as the
first acharya of this matham. Sri Perarulalaiyya Jeeyar, who was a disciple
of Swamy Deshikan, is the first yatishvara acharya of this matham. Swamy
Deshikan himself embellished Sri Perarulalaiyya Jeeyar as "Sri Brahmatantra
Swatantra" and "Parakala"; due to which the matham headed by this Jeeyar
popularly came to be known as Sri Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Matham.
This matham possesses a rich heritage and has been blessed with an
illustrious paramparai of acharyas known for their jnana, anushtanam and
vairagyam. At present, the high seat is decorated by HH Paramahamsetyadi
Srimath Abhinava Vageesha Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Yatindra Maha
Deshikan.

This garland of psalms is a small offering at the feet of our Swamy on the
occasion of his thirunakshatram.

SHRIMATH ABHINAVA VAGEESHA VIJAYAM

A bee from the hive that drones the feet of Sarvatantra Swatantra
In the lineage of the ochre attired Brahmatantra Swatantra
Comes a beacon light that dispels the nescience of kutantra
Beseech we the holy feet of Abhinava Vageesha, of the Lord's disciples who
is a paratantra - 1

The hive here denotes the entire paramparai of Sri Ramanuja / Sri
Deshika Sampradayam. All the acharyas of this satsampradayam have droned as
bees at the Lotus feet of Sarvatantra Swatantra or Swamy Deshikan, who
happens to be the first acharya of this matham. Our Swamy Srimath Abhinava
Vageesha Deshikan, who hails from the spiritual lineage (jnana paramparai)
of Sri Brahmatantra Swatantra, comes like a beacon light of knowledge and
enlightenment, dispelling the nescience or ajnanam caused due to the
philosophies of kutantra or falsehood. We supplicate at the feet of our
Swamy, who remains ever in service to Bhagavan and Bhaagavathas.

Took he to the fourth order to strengthen the ways of the lion
Of the great Deshika comes he as the spiritual scion
Adores he the preceptoral seat of the royal mansion
Pray we at his feet to free us from every derision - 2

Our Swamy took initiation into the fourth order of asceticism from
HH Paramahamsetyadi Srimath Abhinava Ramanuja Brahmatantra Swatantra
Parakala Yatindra Maha Deshikan, on 3rd March 1992, as the 36th pattam
acharya. His goal was to strengthen the Sampradayam of Ramanuja followed by
Deshika, who is referred to here as the Lion. He indeed comes as the
spiritual scion of Swamy Deshika, as the paramparai of Parakala Matham
traces its roots directly to the lotus feet of Swamy Deshikan. Our Swamy
decorates the seat of 'rajaguru' of the royal dynasty. We pray at his feet
to free ourselves from the shroud of derision and the cycle of earthly
transmigration or the cycle of births and deaths. 

Beams he like Ramanuja on the pontifical high seat
Heads he the lineage that streams from His lotus feet
Glorious indeed are these streams, at the lion's feet that do meet
May his feet be our refuge till our last retreat - 3

Our Swamy beams like Ramanuja himself on the pontifical high seat or
the 'acharya peetam'. He indeed heads the lineage that directly streams from
the Lord's feet who is our primordial acharya. In this context the meaning
could be made more charming if the pronoun 'His' is referred to Ramanuja.
Amudanaar and Swamy Deshikan alike in their stotrams on Ramanuja refer to
Ramanuja's thiruvadi as the 'Lotus feet'. From Ramanuja's lotus feet did
stream the paramparais of Sribhashya, Rahasya, and Bhagavadvishaya et al.
All these paramparais meet at the lotus feet of Swamy Deshikan who is the
first acharya of this matham. Sri Parakala matham also enjoys the
distinction of having all its paramparais like Samashrayana-Bharanyasam,
Kalakshepam and Sanyasam passing directly through Swamy Deshikan. We
prostrate at the feet of this great an acharya heading such a glorious
paramparai and pray that his lotus feet be our refuge till our last moments.

His mind meditates on the horse almighty
Words he sermons loyal to the scriptures mighty
Quenches he the yearnings of seekers thirsty
Manifestation is he of knowledge and piety - 4

The horse here refers to Sri Lakshmi Hayagriva the presiding deity
at Parakala matham. Our Swamy always meditates on this 'vellaipparimuga
Deshikan' that has come down the spiritual lineage from Goddess Sarasvathi,
Ramanuja, Thirukkurugaippiraan Pillaan, Pundarikaksha Deshikan, Shathakopa
Deshikan, Pundarikaksha, Swamy Deshikan, Sri Brahmatantra Swatantra Jeeyar
and all the acharyas of Parakala matham who have embellished this peetam
till day. His words of wisdom are always loyal to the scriptures and to the
sayings of poorvacharyas. He administers the sacraments of Samashrayanam and
Bharanyasam to seekers (mumukshus) who come seeking for the same. He is
indeed the manifestation of jnana, anushtanam and vairagyam.

On the path of the holy and virtuous he does tread
Pious and steadfast is he in mind, word and deed 
His worded gems shine with rays of enlightenment indeed
Belongs he to the Lord's saintly votary creed - 5

He does walk himself on the path of panchakala prakriya as ordained
by the scriptures. Our Swamy is a great yogi and has great yoga-siddhi as
well as vaak-siddhi. He is indeed pious in mind, word and deed. His words
indeed shine with rays of enlightenment. He does definitely belong to the
goshti of nityasuris or the holy votary creed.

We pray at the feet of the Lord and our poorvacharyas to bless our Swamy
with a life of a hundred years with good health and to enable him continue
the sampradaya rakshanam he has been tirelessly doing for so many years now.

Let us sing his taniyan and purify ourselves
