[Guest guest]

Mr. Sadagopan sent me some additional details about

SrimadhaathivaN satakOpa yatheendhra maHaadhEsikan

be some temporary problem from his end to make the post.

=============================

There are 4 points of Information regarding the

First Jeeyar that would compliment the Article

that you posted regarding his Sishya Parampara:

 

1.The 74 Peetathipadhis caring for their disciples

became his Sishyas and brought their followers to

him inview of the special blessings that he had

received from Lord Narasimha. They brought their

Araadhya Devatas as well and we see those

Vigrahas in worship even today in the assembly

of Vigrahas worshipped by the present Jeeyar.

 

2.Talappakkam Annamacharya was commanded by

Lord Narasimha to seek the First Jeeyar as

Acharya and that made atransformation in the

life of one of the greatest devotees of

Thirupathi Perumal. His son has authenticted

this incident in the life of his father.The Veena

Mirasu of Talappakkam Annamacharya continues

even today. The contributions of Annamacharya now

serves as an important core of Bhakthi literature,

thanks to the light lit by the First Jeeyar.

 

3.Manavala Muni (1370-1443AD) received his Preksha

mantram from the First Jeeyar and entered Sanayasa Asram.

 

4. The First Jeeyar has (1379-1459 AD) been generally

acknowledged as the incarnation of Swami Desikan(1268-1369AD)

by the later Jeeyars of Ahobila Mutt. Born 10 years after the

passing away of Swami Desikan, the first Jeeyar is said

to bea result of the fulfilment of Sri Vedantha Desikan"s

desire to enter the Uttama Asramam that was not availble

to him in his previous birth and life as a Grahasta.
