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

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

 

Dearest Srivaishnavas,

 

who can be equal to us (nammakku Ar nigar innaanilatthE)- Swamy Desikan

says- when he pays his obeisance to Sriman Nathamuni- having been blessed to

have such great Sri Nathamuni- who is equal to us?- None. Similarly, with

Acharyan like Vedantha Desikan who can be equal to us..None at all. There

may be many sages, rishis mahatmas in the world who had taken births.

Everyone was great. But all those oceans of greatness put together in one

whole entirety was this mahaa samudhram- the huge ocean of greatest of

greats- is Sri Nigamantha Guru. This is not just a fanatical statement.

Please read this series and one will know why this statement is made. Our

Acharya vaLLal – Vedantha Desikan is one with no parallel- na bhUthO na

bhavishyathi..

 

Dhruvan was great. Within six months, such a small boy achieved which none

did. Even the sages could visualize the Lord in their hearts; but could not

see in person physically. Our Dhruvan saw straightaway the Lord Sriman

Narayanan in front of him. Bhagawath saakshathkaaram was possible at that

tender age for him. With his sheer determination and steadfast devotion, he

brought the Lord in front of his eyes. For all the sage he was an example.

He was a role model. Even to think of DHruva’s life is puNyam for us. When

Dhruvan was to proceed for VishNu lOka, Yama came rushing to keep his head

at his feet so that he can step on it to board the chariot. Yama grabbed the

opportunity to purify himself. What a great mahAthmA was Dhruvan! Our Swamy

Desikan – ThUppul PiLLai within six months had the Bhagawath

saakshaathkaaram – Lord Hayagrivan in front of him. He distributed his

Hayagriva prasadham to the whole world with the most wonderful Hayagriva

sthOthra. He is a ParamOdhArar.

 

Prahlada was yet another great BOY. His devotion, his determination, his

mahaaviswAsam was phenomenal. None can equate his devotion. How many dangers

he was put into and how many deadliest punishments he was given by his

father! He did not care and still he never ever despised anyone – such a

bhUthasuhrudh. How much patient was he! What a devotee was he! What an

equanimity! What an endurance! Unalloyed devotion! Tremendous unflinching

faith on Narayanan! Did not dare succumb to pressure! Can we be one

millionth of his prowess! (ha ha). Our Swamy Desikan too never ever

considers hatred for the wrongdoers and those who committed apcharam to him.

His devotion was also steadfast and determined. Ithyananya manasaa

vinirmitham vEnkatEsa kavinaasthuthi…

 

Sage Paraasarar- Vasishta and Pulasthya blessed him happily and wholly. The

Parathvam was crystal clear to Sage Parasarar due to their blessings

automatically. His VishNupurANam was PurANa rathnam- the gem of Puraanaas.

Similarly, our Swamy was also blessed by the great Acharyas AppuLLAr and Sri

Nadaadhoor AmmAL- the result of which is History. He demolished the

Paramatham and established firmly Ramanuja Darsanam. He established the

Vedantha matham with unconquerable building blocks of his granthas.

 

Sage Vyasa was a phenomenon- is a gross understatement. What did he not do?

He compiled Vedas- wrote Bharatha, 18 purANAs, Bhagawatham, [bhagawath GitA,

Vishnu sahasranamam are all part of mahaabharatham and thus were written by

him.] Vyaasaaya vishNu roopaaya vyAsa roopaaya vishNavE.. Our Swamy Desikan

also kept writing granthas after Granthas. What did he not write? Kaavya,

Naataka, kavi, slokas, drama, rahasyas.. the list is endless. In one part of

night, writing 1008 slokas on Padhuka is amazing. The VainathEya- Garuda is

the witness for that.

 

Vaalmeeki- yet another genius sage. Write Sri Rama life and with my

blessings, everything will be completed. None of your writing will be wrong.

-said Sage Narada. Then came the great epic Ramayana. Our Vedantha Desika

too was blessed by Thiruvaheendrapuram Deiva nayaka – mozhi nee (you

compose- or utter?). Swamy himself says.. “mozhi nee enRu mukunthan aruL

thantha payan peRREn..” [i have been blessed by Mukunthan, saying. “you

utter”. ] Then came never ending streamflow of granthas after granthas.

 

Our Swamy Desikan was the Yogi like the mudhal AzhwArs (first three

AzhwArs); He was the personification of the devotion to KaNNan- like Sri

NammAzhwAr (KrishnathrishNAthatthvam); He was resplendent with Acharya

bhakthi like Madhurakavi AzhwAr; Like Thirumazhisai Piraan, he destroyed the

other religions and the arguments put forth by them. He was a jnAna vairAgya

bhUshaNam – VairAgya nidhi like KulasEkarAzhwAr; He performed

mangaLAsaasanam (Pallaandu) always for the Lord composing sthOthras after

sthOthras like PeriyAzhwAr. He is the damsel fallen in love with the Lord

Deiva nAyakan like ANDAL. He considered himself as the dust at the feet of

Bhagawathas (like ThoNdaradippodi AzhwAr). He immersed himself in the beauty

of archaavatar at Divya Desams like num Kaliyan. Like paaNar, he was

enslaved by the bhakti of Bhagawathas- aDiyaarkku Atpattavar. Like Bhagawath

Ramanuja- he is SIDDHANTA NIRDHAARANA SAARVABHOUMAR. All relions avaidik,

non vaidik, were all simply chased away by our Swamy with his unparalleled

SatadhUshaNi and Paramatha bhangam. Those who ran away stopped for composing

few slokas on the greatness of Swamy Desikan as well. Only Swamy Desikan was

praised so in the world. He was praised even by those who lost to him- those

who were older than him; because all those had realized him and his

greatness vis-à-vis the humility of his and respect towards fellow

Srivaishnavas. Such greatest Acharyan Swamy Desikan’s fragrance is spreading

still in our Sampradayam and is now spread across the globe wonderfully.

Those who are blessed to be born or have come in this sampradayam are

piRandhaar uyarndhE..
