SrI:
SrI RanganAthO Jayathi 
Srimath Azhagiya Singar ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam

Vishu Marghazhi KrishNa Sapthami , Utthara Phalguni dinam

Dear BhakthAs:

On this day dear to Sri RanganAyaki ThAyAr ,
adiyEn would like to start a special series on 
Swamy Desikan's "DhramidOpanishad Saaram " .

Swamy Desikan's genius in intrepreting the deeper 
meanings of Swamy NammAzhwAr's ThiruvAimozhi and
the other dhivya prabhandhams of the other AzhwArs 
is unparalleled. He blessed us with two major works
in Sanskrit on ThiruvAimozhi , one on all of the dhivya
prabhandhams ( Nigama ParimaLam , which is no longer
available ), MunivAhana BhOgam ( on ThiruppANar's
AmalanAdhipirAn ) and Madhura Kavi Hrudhayam 
( On KaNNInuNN SiRutthAmpu , which is also not
available anymore )and Prabhandha Saaram . In addition to
all of the above , our Swamy Desikan quoted profusely from AzhwAs' 
Paasurams in his magnum opus ,Srimath RahasyaThraya Saaram . 

The two Sanskrit works on ThiruvAimozhi are:
DhramidOpanishad Taathparya RathnAvaLi (DTR)and 
DhramidOpanishad Saaram (DS) . 

AdiyEn recently wrote the introduction to Swamy
Desikan's DhramidOpanishad Taathparya RathnAvaLi
and covered the first ten slOkams and the 123rd 
SlOkam of DTR dealing with Swamy NammazhwAr's Moksham 
( ThiruvAimozhi 10.10.1-10)in the context of 
the Thiru Adhyayana Uthsavam at Sri RanganAtha 
Temple , Pomona , NY. 

In this series , adiyEn will focus on DhramidOpanishad
Saaram (DS) , which is a anubhandham to DTR. Latter is
an elaborate analysis of the individual paasurams ,
the GuNams of the Lord celebrated there , the MahA 
GuNam of the Dasakam (decad ) and the higher level
GuNams encompasing the sathakams and the entire ThiruvAimozhi
in that order. Swamy Desikan used 130 slOkams set in 
the big Sragdhara Metre to accomplish this magnificent
task. In DS , in the short span of 26 slOkams (24 set in
SikariNi metre and the remaining two in Sragdhara metre) , 
Swamy Desikan blessed us with the GuNa NiroopaNams the ten
sathakams and the ten decads associated with each of the ten 
sathakams ( One Hundreds) .Swamy Desikan's analytical 
and syncretic skills are abundantly displayed in these
two sanskrit works dealing with ThiruvAimozhi . The two
Sri Sookthis have to be studied together since the quintessential
points made in the DS are elaborated in the corresponding 
SlOkams of DTR . 

adiyEn will be following the commentary of Abhinava Desikar ,
Vaikunta Vaasi Sri U.Ve.UtthamUr Swamy , whose anniversary is
falling on Thai SwAthi . This series is dedicated to the memory
of this great AchAryan, who opened the spiritual eyes of
many BhakthAs .
