Lineage of Preceptors in Vedaanta system of philosophy

 

Visistaadvaita is Vedaanta system of philosophy. Vedaanta refers

to the Upanishads and the naalaayira divya prabandams taken

collectively as ubhaya Vedaanta. Bhagavath raamaanuja yatiraaja swami

at the start of the commentary on the brahma sutras, asserts, "The

extensive commentary on the brahma sutras, which was composed by the

sage Bodhaayana has been condensed by former teachers; according to

their views the terms of the sutras will be explained in this work

(Sri bhaashya)". Bhagavath raamaanuja yatiraaja swami accomplished

what he asserted. This is strength that the Vedaanta system of

philosophy namely Visishtaadvaitam has in terms of authority (source

of knowledge). The ten Azhwaars have guarded the same through their

divya prabandams (24 in number), which manifested as outburst of their

experiences that they had with the supreme self Sriman Narayana. This

is the strength that the Vedaanta system of philosophy namely

Visishtaadvaitam has in terms of "sampradaayam", the time tested

implementation of the Vedaantam. The same was preserved and preached

by the uninterrupted lineage of preceptors starting with Sriman

Narayanan Himself.

 

In this era, Swami Srimath Satakopa-Nammaazhwaar became the first

preceptor in the earth. He was followed by Sriman Naathamuni through

a lineage and by divine manifestation of Srimath Satakopa. This

lineage continued to Srimath Yaamuna muni and Srimath Bhagavath

Raamaanuja muni. Then, the Vedaanta system of philosophy also known

as Sri Sampradaayam was preserved by none other then

Vedaanta-udayana-Aachaarya who is SrI pranathaartiharAchaarya

otherwise known as Kidaampi Aachaan who served intimately to

Bhagavath Raamaanuja muni in his divine kitchen and was the most

blessed disciple with wisdom in entirety of Bhagavath Raamaanuja

muni. SrImath Vaadi-hamsaambuvaahAchaarya also known as kidaampi

appullaar incarnated in his divine ancestry. He was the maternal

uncle of Srimath Vedaanta Desikan. This lineage flourishes till date

spreading Visistaadvaita - Sri Vaishnavam - Sri Sampradayam.

 

 

Sri Sukti Pracharini Sabha

 

 

Sri Sukti Pracharini Sabha is a registered organization. Its objective

is to preserve and spread the works of the preceptors of Vedaanta

system of philosophy. The term Sri in Sri Sukti Pracharini Sabha

signifies divinity of this system. The term Sukti refers to the

divine works of preceptors. Pracharini Sabha refers to organization

which spreads the divine works of preceptors of Vedaanta system of

philosophy.

There are various types of works, which have to be preserved and

passed to the future generations. Swami Desika at the end of Rahasya

Ratnavali Hrudayam asserts the types of works composed by him

propounding the Vedaanta system of philosophy.

These works which have come out by the divine blessings of our

preceptors are ornaments of Vedaatam personified as lady united with

her lord Sriman Narayana. They are accepted by great scholars with

full reverence. The types of these works include condensed form,

detailed form, easily compiled, works for those interested in deep

analysis, independent works, analysis of works of others,

commentaries and works suitable for easy teaching.

The unique greatness of our preceptors' works is described by Swami

Desika in Sri Yathiraaja Sapthathi as follows:

The works of our preceptors like Bagawath Raamanuja bedeck the Sruti

personified as queen who has her lord Sriman Narayana in her domain.

Swami Desika in Tattva Navaneetham speaks about the divinity of the works of our preceptors.

These precious works are comparable to the pristine paanchajanya conch

of Sriman Narayana who has insentient and sentient beings as his body,

who incarnated as Sri Krishna and destroyed the evils like destroying

unwanted weeds in good crops.

SriSukti Pracharini Sabha is for preserving and spreading these

unparalled and unsurpassed works of our preceptors.
