SrI:

Shrimate Shri Lakshmi Nrusimha Parabrahmane Namaha:

Shrimate Shri Seetha Ramachandra Parabrahmane Namaha:

Shrimate Shri Ramanujaya Namaha:

Shrimate Nigamantha Maha Desikaya Namaha:

Shrimate Shrivan Satagopa Shri Narayana Yateendra Mahadesikaya Namaha:

 

" SrimAn VenaktanAthArya: kavithArkika kEsarI!

VedAnthAchArya varyO mE sannidhatthAM sadhA hrudhi " !!

 

'krutagnya:' is the last in the list of Kalyana gunas

of our Lord as mentioned by Shri Alavandar.

 

Generally one who does not forget the help rendered

is 'krutagnya:'

 

Lord rAmA was a 'krutagnya:'. Shri rAmA's gratitude

to all sundry - to even the smallest squirrel - is

glorious. He was grateful for the smallest act of

goodness done towards him.

 

Swami Desika held his Acharyas in high esteem for

the inheritance of his knowledge. Swami respected

the help rendered by emberumAn, PirAtti, nammAlvar,

nAdhamuni, AlavndAr, bAshyakArar, nadAdur Ammal and

Appular. Swami did not stop at remembering their help

but also ensured that the whole word knows and remembers

their help. What a " Kutagnyatvam " from our Swami!!!

 

We saw in the 4th posting, Shri Pillai Lokaachaarya

announcing thus:

 

" Seeronru Tooppul tiruvEnkata mudaiyAn

pArondru sonna pazhamoyiyul !

Orondru dhanE amayAdhO dAraNiyil

vAzh vArkku vAnEra pOmalavum vAzhvu !! "

 

A single statement of the great Acharya, Tooppul

ThiruvEnkatamudayAn (Our Swami), uttered for the

benefit of humanity, is enough for a person who

desires to ascend up to the Heavens and this will

itself lift him/her up to desired goals.

 

While speaking of Swami's " krutagnya: " , Adiyal

wonders if we can ever be a " krutagnya: " to our

Swami. Adiyal believes that we should atleast

strive to be one. We, Jivas are indebted to our

Swami - for ever!!

 

AlavandAr declared that explaining each and every guna

of Our Lord is impossible. Because Lords auspicious

qualities are infinite. So, AlavandAr concluded thus:

" samasta kalyAna gunAmrutOdadi " .

 

Swami Desika is the avatAram of ThiruvEnkata mudayAn and

hence we are blessed to experience all the kalyAna gunas

of our Lord in our Swami.

 

Shri Alavandar enjoyed the kalyana gunas of our Lord and

told the entire universe. Sri U.Ve sEvA SrinivAsAchAryAr

enjoyed such Kalyana Gunas of our Lord in Swami Desika.

Adiyal shared Sri U.Ve sEvA SrinivAsAchAryAr's anubhavam

with all of you, to my very little capacity.

 

Swami Desika has also been given some adjectives

by Shri nayinarAchAriyAr.

 

YOgyar: Swami could bless the AchArya goshti because

Swami Desika had the special blessing of poorvAcharyas

to an extraordinary extent.

 

prAgnyar: Swami learnt all arts even before he was

20 years of age.

 

srAstar: 'srutaprakAsika' was protected and handed

over to the world (doing something which others

cannot do is the beauty of elders).

 

sevyar: Swami was worshipped by everybody because

he gave plenty of granthas to the world.

 

bavyar: Swami was humble to all vaishnavAs.

 

Swami Desika exhibited each and every quality of our

Lord, Sriya:Pathi, in himself. Swami also espoused

these traits on his works with the excellence of

poetic genius; courage; conviction; unique devotion

and tolerance.

 

It takes a Swami Desika to have a share of our

Divya Dampati's kalyAna gunas. Surely, our Swami

is the most gifted and ofcourse, our Swami is none

other than Lord ThiruvEnkatamudayAn.

 

" Kavi Taarkika Simhaaya Kalyaana guna SaalinE!

SrimatE VenkateshAya VedAnta Gurave nama !! "

 

....To be continued!
