Sri abhinava dESika Uttammor vAtsya VeerarAghavArya -

MahAdESikAya namaha

 

Dear devotees,

namO nArAyaNA.

 

adiyEn is very happy to announce that Uttamoor swAmi's

tamizh commentry on SwAmi DeSikan's great kAvya

"yAdhavAbhyudayam", a classic among classics is available

now for the devotees. The book also has appia deekshidar's

sanskrit commentry. It has been printed very recently and is

around 1200 pages ( approx. 3 to 3.5 Kgs in weight !!).

 

appia deekshidar, who was a leading advaitic scholar of his

times was spell bound by the beauty of this great kAvyam

dealing with Lord Krishna's leelAs and commented on it.

SwAmi Desikan as a "kavi simham" is easily evident from

this kAvyam. appia deekshidar (AD) was in all praise for

swAmi dESikan's each and every padam in the kAvyam, which

were yielding layers and layers of rich meanings. The

commentry for even one slokam took him days to complete

(because of great construction of slOkams with many

specialities). But, the ruling king of that time needed

the commentry be finished by an year. So, AD who himself

thought that it will take years to finish the commentry

if he writes in that rate, started to comment in a crisp

and brief manner (to meet the deadline).

 

 

This unparalleled work of the genius who was given the

title as "KavitArkika Simhan" by RanganAthar and

"Sarvatantra svatantrar" by RanganAyaki thAyAr, is

certainly a great treasure for us to posses. The value

of the treasure is enriched by the commentry of none

other than Uttamoor swAmy, the great mahAn who

has written around 200 granthams !!! (no wonder the mahAn

is "abhinava dESikan" ).

 

Its a great bAghyam for us to have this most anubhavam

filled kAvyam which soaks one with extraordinary bhagavad

kalyANa guNAnubhavam with heart melting slOkams invoking

various rasAs. Its also a great treasure to be passed on

to the future generation.

 

Each book can be had for $40 (postage from India is included).
