Swami Pillai Lokacharya [1205 CE to 1325 CE] - Lord Varadaraja's Avathara

[Guest guest]

sri:

 

Humble pranam to all devotees:

 

To document and immortalize our Jagadhacharyan Swami Ramanuja's message

Lord Varadaraja of Kancheepuram took an Avathara as Swami Pillai

Lokachariar (Ulagarian) in the year 1205 CE.

 

He fulfilled His salkalpam (mission) by writing 18 Rahasya granthas.

He is our " Mudal " (first) Acharya to preserve these Rahasya granthas for

future generations in written document. He stayed on this BhuLoka for

120 years and He ended His avatara after protecting Lord Ranganatha from

muslim invasion in the year 1325 CE.

 

Swami Pillai Lokacharya, a benevolent Acharya, full of compassion,

confirmed the basics of Sri Vaishnava sampradayam in his 18 works

popularly known as Ashtadasa Rahasyangal. Every small detail of

Rahasyatrayam, Tatva trayam and the doctrine of unconditional surrender

(Saranagati) are explained in His divine works. This collection of 18

works is a gods end to everybody and a must for every jeevathma who

wants to be released from the bondage of samsara.

 

Every other Acharya, scholar and devotee of Sri Vaishnava Sampradaya

learns from this avathara of Lord Varadaraja, either directly from his

works or indirectly from others works written by scholars who learnt

from these 18 Rahasya Granthas.
