Dearest Srivaishnavas,

 

I have placed a zip folder in the files section " Srimad Gopaladesika

Vimsathy " . It is an English poem written by Sri CG Balaji Swamin (Grandson

of Dr Sri NS Anantharangachar Swamin) on asmadhAchARyan His Holiness Srimad

PaRavakkOttai Andavan Swamy. This was printed in a book and was released on

Swamy's 20th year of Sanyasa Ashramam celebration. adiyEn and Sri Hari

Swamin were one of the privileged ones (along with other great scholars) to

receive from swamy at Srirangam on Mar 8th. Swamy read the poem and blessed

Sri Balaji, approving the same, like Sri YathirAjar did on Ramanusa

nooRRanthAthi.

 

The poem is a well written one and I am reporducing the first few verses for

your ready reference and enjoyment. You need to place the font suitably in

your computer which is also in the ZIP folder.

 

I made Sri Balaji accept my request (to post this) with lots of efforts. he

did not wish to be publicized, due to his humility.

============================

A hymn sung on the glories of asmadacharyar

Shrimath Paravakkottai Poundarikapuram Shrimad Andavan,

Shrimath Gopala Deshika Maha Deshikan

(Panguni ¡V Rohini)

 

This is a small work with 32 verses in English along with commentary. This

work has been delineated to celebrate asmad swamy¡¦s twenty years of acharya

peetaadhipatyam. The first few verses glorify the acharya paramparai or

preceptor lineage. This is then continued with the Vimshati (20 verses) sung

on asmadacharyar, Paramahamsetyadi Paravakkottai Poundarikapuram Srimath

Andavan, Srimath Gopala Deshika Maha Deshikan. The work is finally concluded

by acharya vandanam and acharya mangalam.

 

This work has six sections. The structure of this work is as follows -

 

ć Section 1 - Sriman Narayana and Sri Maha Lakshmi - 2 verses

ć Section 2 - Aasthana Perumal - Lakshmi Hayavadana - 1 verse

ć Section 3 - Nammazhwar, Ramanuja and Deshikan - 3 verses

ć Section 4 - Thirukkudanthai Gopalaarya Deshikan - 1 verse

ƒá Section 5 - The three acharyas of asmad acharyar ¡V 3 verses

ƒá Section 6 ¡V Vimshati on asmadacharyar, Srimath Gopala Deshika Maha

Deshikan, celebrating his glories ¡V 20 verses

ć Lastly acharya vandanam and acharya mangalam

 

Totally, 2 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 20 + 2 = 32 verses.

 

It is only the parama kataaksham and anugraham of Swamy on adiyen that has

made him attempt to celebrate Swamy¡¦s glories. Swamy¡¦s anugraham is so

powerful that it can even make an unworthy being like adiyen attempt to

extol him. Adiyen takes responsibility for all the mistakes present in this

work and at the same time requests the merciful indulgence of asmad Swamy

and Bhaagavathas in forgiving the same. With these words adiyen humbly

presents this garland of verses at the feet of his master, Srimath Gopala

Deshika Maha Deshikan.

Achaarya-charanaambuja-daasa:

Prathamaachaarya-Vandanam

This section prays at the feet of the first preceptor Lord Sriman Narayana

and Sri Maha Lakshmi.

Sriman Narayana

The Lord from whom divinity did start

Stays with His consort never to part

As preceptor uno in the chart

Knowledge ultimate he did impart

That could drive His worldly cart

Beseech we the holy feet of Paraman the Lord - 1

 

Sri Maha Lakshmi

Queen of the Lord is our mother

Divine couple form they together

Makes Her Lord¡¦s anger to wither

Anger or rebuke, knows she neither

Finds her way always as a soother

Beseech we the holy feet of Piraatti the merciful - 2

 

Sri Lakshmi Hayavadana

Lord of knowledge as He is known

Seeds of jnana by him were sown

Restored He the scriptures that were out flown

Marauders of lore by Him were thrown

Minds of wisdom by Him were grown

For the torch of light that was to be shown

On the path that had remained yet unknown

Beseech we the holy feet of Sri Lakshmi Hayavadana - 3

 

Sri-Vaishnava-Darshana-Kootashthaanaam Vandanam

 

This section salutes the three kootasthars of parama vaidika Sri Vaishnava

Sri Sampradaayam.

 

Sri Swamy Nammazhwar

Tore he the binding wind on his birth terrestrial

Lore at par were his, with texts imperial

Wore he a garland, with a fragrance so ethereal

¡§The one who is different¡¨, was he acclaimed

¡§Sandals of the Lord¡¨, was he duly proclaimed

Beseech we the holy feet of Maaran Shatakopa - 4

================

It continues... so beautifully.. Each verse is also explained beautifully by

Sri Balaji.
