Swamy Varadanatha Nayanaracharya Maha Deshikan Thiruvadigale Sharanam !!! Swamy Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Maha Deshikan Thiruvadigale Sharanam !!! Dear Bhagavathas, Today, Avani Hastam, 16th September marks the thirunakshatram of Swamy Deshika's taniyan and Swamy Nayanaracharya's taniyan. It is celebrated as "Deshika taniyan avataara thirunaaL" or "Ramanuja dayApAtram avatAra thirunAL". Today, at Thuppul, the Sri shathari at Swamy Deshikan sannidhi will be taken in a grand procession to Parakala matham. Here pancha mudrai and parivattam will be offerred to Swamy Deshikan's disciples, Swamy Nayanaracharya and Swamy Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Maha Deshikan. A sea of bhagavathas then recite the "rAmAnuja dayApAtram ..." taniyan and "srimallakshmaNa yogIndra ..." taniyan. It was on this day the taniyans "rAmAnuja dayApAtram ..." on Swamy Deshika and "shrImallakshmana yogIndra ..." on Sri Nayanaracharya, were sung by Sri Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Jeeyar, who was Swamy Deshika's prime disciple. The taniyans were composed and sung at Thirunarayanapuram by Sri Brahmatantra Swatantrar before beginning Bhagavad vishaya kAlakshepam at the feet of Swamy Nayanaracharya. Swamy Deshikan studied all the shastras from his maternal uncle Sri Athreya Ramanuja. Swamy Deshika was also the direct recipient of the choicest anugrahams of Ramanuja at Thirunarayanapuram. Incidentally both Athreya Ramanuja and Bhagavad Ramanuja share the same thirunakshatram, that being Chittirai ThiruvAdirai. May be these are some of the insights that prompted Parakala Jeeyar to use the most wonderful sobriquet "rAmAnuja dayApAtram" when singing the glories of Swamy Deshika. Poorvacharyas have elaborately commented on these taniyans that are rich with esoterical meanings. Let us sing these taniyans on this auspicious day. "rAmAnuja dayA pAtram jnAnavairAgya bhUShaNam shrImadveNkaTanAthAryaM vande vedAntha deshikam || " - Sri Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Jeeyar "Bow we to the great VenkatanAthArya Vedantha Deshika who was the recipient of the divine grace of Ramanuja and who was embellished by the noble virtues of jnaanam and vairAgyam." (But in reality, Deshika is indeed an embellishment for jnaanam and vairaagyam.) "shrImallakshmaNa yogIndra siddhAntha vijayadhvajam | vishvAmitrAnvayAbdhIndum varadAryamaham bhaje || " - Sri Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Jeeyar "Bow we to the great Varadarya, born in the race of Vishwamitra and who beams resplendently as the victory flag of the darshanam of Ramanuja." The day is twice auspicious as it also marks the thirunakshatram of Srimath Mukkur Azhagiyasingar - 44th pattam - Srimath Ahobila matam.
