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.
