May the glorious Sri Venkatanatha, the greatest of teachers of Vedanta, and

the lion among poets and debaters, reside forever in my heart.

 

Today is Purattaasi ThiruvONam. Swamy Desikan's Thirunakshathram (also of

ThiruvEmkatamudaiyaan Sri Srinivasa PerumAL). Swamy Desikan's concern for

the entire humanity irrespective of differences of caste, creed, or religion

is amply demonstrated by the following phrases found in his variuos

sthOthrams and works.

 

1. -parasara hithaishiNAm parisarEshu mAm varthaya - May I be allowed to

live in a place filled with people who thinks of natural goodwill for each

other.

2. -SrEyasE jagathAmEthath SrImadhashtabhujAshtakam- May this

ashtabhujAshtakam spread benefits to the entire world.

3. -anasUyubhirAdharENa bhAvyA- With devotion and free from jealousy

4. -DhEhaLeesasthuthi phalsruthi slOkam- May this dhEhaLeesa sthuthi grant

all wishes to us who have desires for all wrodly things but are miserly too,

thus facing untold misery.

5. sarasijanilayaayaa: sthOthramEthath paTantha:|

sakalakuSala sImA: saarvahoumA bhavanthi: || (SrIsthuthi)

All those who read this hymn on Her who resides on the Lotus will reap all

benefits and become emperors of their domain.

6. srEyasE bhUyasE sathAm kruthEyam- (ShodasAyudha sthOthram) Written for

the benefit of all good men

 

7. Swamy Desikan also has very beautifully written for our enlightenment

(in SaaranishkarshAdhikAram of Srimad Rahasyathrayasaaram)

 

asaaramalpasaaram cha saaram saaratharam thayajEth |

bhajEth saarathamam SaasthrE rathnAkar ivAmrutham ||

 

One should ignore what has no value; what is only of slight value; and even

what is even more valued.. It is only what is THE MOST VALUABLE that one

should prefer in the scriptures.., like ambrosia in the ocean.

 

(above is from the write up by SRi MK Srinivasan Swamy from Vedantha

Desika-special number)

 

How apt and how enlighetened we would be if we follow Acharya's advice,

Verses and writings of Acharyan..
