Guest guest Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 Dear Hari, I have provided the link to the DasaAvatara Sthotram by Swami Desikan. Swami Desikan is a very prominent Acharya in the Sri Vaishnava Sampradaya of Sri Ramanujacharya. He appeared in the 13th century and was known for his devotion to Bagawan Sri Hayagriva.His literary skills were unparalled and the various poems and commentaries are a pleasure to read and also extremely powerful. He is also known for protecting the Sri Rangam temple Deities during Malik Kafurs invasion. He was offered the position of Diwan by the reigning king and refused the same to lead a life of dire poverty and the refusal was also done via a poem by name "Vairagya Panchakam", which has five verses that enunciate the fact that big material positions mean nothing if one is blessed with devotion to the Supreme Lord Sri Jagannatha. I just wanted to share some history about the divine nature of the author. In the DasaAvataara Sthothram the 4th paragraph pertains to Sri Varaha Avatar.You may read the entire sthothram or if you choose the 4th paragraph alone every day. This is a very powerful prayer. Besure to read the salutation to Sri Desikan before the sthothram, as he is the Guru who will bless you in the steps(reading the prayer composed by him) that you take to reach your Ishta.Browse through the website and you also have audio links to learn pronunciation of the prayer. http://www.prapatti.com/slokas/english/desika-stotramaala/dashaavataarastotram.pdf Hare Krishna Sudharsan onlyhari <onlyhari > wrote: ||Om Brihaspataye Namah||Dear Jyotishas & learned members,I am looking for a prayer for Sri Lakshmi Varahamurthi (which has been recommended as the Isthadevata for me).
