Tirunakshatram of Swami Desikan and Lord Srinivasa

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

 

SrimatE NigamAnta MahadesikAya Namaha,

 

Dear Bhaktas,

 

On this most sacred day, doubly-blessed on account of the Tirunakshatram of

Swami Desikan and Lord Srinivasa, Adiyen wishes

to reflect on the limitless compassion of this great Acharya and the Lord of

Seven Hills, through the Daya Shatakam salutations

"PrapadyE Tam Girim PrAya:", "Yan MUrthyA sharkarayitum", "VigAhE Teertha

BahuLam", "ManyE Mata Jada Iva SutE VatsalA Maa drushEtvam", "Srinivasasya

Drushtim", "KaruNe NishkaruNaAham Asmi Aparadha ChakravarthiJagati

Hitamnanastvayi Bharanyasa nAdadhikam",

"HEtunA sethunA", "satapatala BheeshanE", "Sakrut avEkshanAth",

"Jagati gItayA Andham Tama:", "Veena Visheshamiva Venkata Shaila

natha:" and "Kallola Kolahala:".

 

Each of these salutations conveys with conusmmate effect, a

special facet of Daya Devi of the Lord of Seven Hills. Adiyen is

extremely thankful for the assurances provided in verses 106-108 of this

most majestic stuthi, which emphasizes the elevated role of Daya and her

importance in granting refuge to a Prapanna. This stuthi has

been greatly embellished by the outstanding Anubhavams of Mahans like

H.H. Srimad Andavan Swami of Srimad Poundarikapuram Ashramam, U.Ve. Sri

Ramadesikachariar Swamin, and U.Ve. Dr. V.N.

Vedanta Desikan Swamin. This stuthi is also known to have been

extremely special to H.H. Abhinava Desika Sri Uttamoor Veeraraghavachariar

Swamin.

 

It is extremely heartening to see the commencement of several Kaimkaryams

for Swami Desikan and Our Lord take place on this most

auspicious day. Adiyen cannot find sufficient words to praise Smt. Praveena

for her outstanding Kaimkaryam of a daily capsule on the

greatness of Swami Desikan.
