Dear Bhagavathas,

In the following thaniyan,

"shrImallakshmaNa yogIndra siddhAntha vijayadhvajam |
 vishvAmitrAnvayAbdhIndum varadAryamaham bhaje || "  - Sri Brahmatantra
Swatantra Parakala Jeeyar

I think line two should be
 ...
 "vishvAmitra kulOthbhootham" varadAryamaham bhaje ||

Please correct me if I am wrong.

adiyEn,
Sriram

Subject: [SriRangaSri] Ramanuja dayApAtram avatAra thirunAL -
Celebrating Deshikan Thiru nakshatram


Swamy Deshikan Thiruvadigale Sharanam !!!
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.

Srimath Sri VedAntha Deshika samyami sArvabhouma kaTAksha labdha sArvajna,
