Swamy Varadanatha Nayanaracharya Maha Deshikan Thiruvadigale Sharanam !!! Note - The avatara vaibhavam of Nayanaracharya is based purely on 3000 padi guruparampara prabhavam of Srimath Triteeya Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Yatindra Maha Deshikan (III Jeeyar of Parakala Matham). ================== Avataara Vaibhavam Swamy Deshika once had a beautiful dream in which appeared Lord Varadatelling him that a son will be born to him with His amsam and that he shouldbe named as Varada. As per the divine grace of Lord Varada, a son was born to Swamy Venkatanatha (Vedantha Deshika) and Thirumathi Kanakavalli Nachchiyaar in the year Kali 4418, month of Avani, Nalavarsham in the asterism of Rohini. Swamy Deshika, after having named the child as Varada, performed the Jatakarma, Aksharabhyasam and other rituals. He later taught to the child, Veda vedangam, Thirumanthrartham and all other shastras himself. Being the divine amsham of Perarulalan, Varadanatha was very grasping, brilliant and wise. In the year 4430 vibhava varsham, month of chitrai, in the asterism ofpunarvasu, Varadanatha began his Sribhashya kalakshepam at the feet of SwamyDeshika. Earlier Sri Perarulalaiyya Jeeyar had submitted a taniyan on Deshika to be sung during kalakshepam of Sribhashyam. This taniyan was -namaH padamidaM bhUyAttasmai veNkaTasUraye yadvAgamRitasekena sanjIvitamidaMjagat | bhagavantamivAnantakalyANaguNasAgaram vedAntadeshikaM naumi veNkaTeshagurUttamam || Sri Varadanatha recited another taniyan "Sriman VenkatanAthAryaH ... sannidhattAm sadAhRdi" along with the taniyan that was submitted byPerarulala Jeeyar earlier. Sri Sudarshana Bhattar proposed that this taniyanbe sung from now on before beginning kalakshepam. Deshikar treated this as Perarulalan's anugraha vishesham and agreed to it and obeyed the order of Sudarshana Bhattar. All the disciples of Swamy Deshika had great love and devotion towards Nayanaracharya similar to the bhakti that Ramanuja's disciples had towards Pillan. A few years later, during the muslim onslaught episode, Deshikar left Srirangam and came to Satyakalam along with his family. He stayed here on the banks of Kaveri close to the temple of Varada teaching Sribhashyam andother works to his disciples. Along with his family, Swamy then proceeded toThirunarayanapuram.It was here that Sri Bhashyakara in a spiritual epiphany through the Archakaproclaimed Varadacharya to be the next sampradaya pravartaka after Deshika. It was at this place, Varadacharya studied Thiruvaimozhi with Aarayirappadi and Deshikar's vyakhyanam to it titled Nigama Parimalam. When Deshikar enquired his other prime disciple Sri Perarulalayya Jeeyar as to why he did not chose to study this along with Varadanatha, Sri Perarulalayya Jeeyar replied that since Varadacharya had the special grace of Ramanuja, he has chosen not to have sateerthyatva buddhi (colleague/peer relationship) with Varadacharya anymore but wishes to accept him as his acharya. Saying so he requested Swamy Deshika to allow him to study bhagavad vishayam under Nayanaracharya.In the Kali year 4440, Bahudhanya avani shukla dviteeyai, asterism of hasta,Sri Brahmatantra Swatantra Jeeyar submitted a taniyan on Varadacharya and started Bhagavad Vishaya kalakshepam under him. This taniyan is none other than - Srimallakshmana yogIndra siddhAnta vijayadhvajam vishvAmitra kulodbhUtam varadAryam aham bhaje || During the last days of Swamy Deshika, it was again affirmed by Yatiraja at Srirangam that Sri Nayanaracharya shall be the next sampradaya pravartakar after Deshika. Sri Nayanaracharyar received a pair of shankham and chakram used during samashrayanam and also the murthy of Sri Varadarajar from Swamy Deshika. He later sung the last taniyan on his acharya and father - Swamy Deshika, glorifying him as - Kavitaarkika simhaya kalyANa guNashAline shrImathe veNkaTeshAya vedAnthagurave namaha || To be contd...
