May the glorious Venkatanatha, the greatest of teachers of Vedanta, and the

lion among poets and debaters, reside forever in my heart.

 

Dearest Srivaishnavas,

 

Here is yet another upakAram - as mentioned beautifully by His Holiness

Srimath Azhagiya singar 45th pattam- in one of his upanyasams. [as posted by

Sri Satakopan, USA in his inimitable style]

 

kazhiyAtha KaDuvinayil paDintha nammaik-

kaalam ithu yenRorukkAl kaaval seythu

pazhiyAtha Nall-vinayil paDinthAr thALil

paNivitthup paasankaL adaya neekki

suzhiyAtha sevvazhiyil ThuNaivarODE

tolayAtha pErinbham tara mEl-yERRi

azhiyAtha AruLAzhip PerumAn seyyum

anthamilA Udhavi yellAm aLappAr AarE ?

 

--Swamy Desikan's UpakAra Sangraham: Last Paasuram

 

The title chosen by Srimath Azhagiya Singar for His VyAsam (essay) is "

PazhiyAtha nall-Vazhiyil paadinthAr " ( One who has performed the blemishless

and auspicious upAyam of Prapatthi as a sacred AchAryan).

 

Text of the translation

************************

We have committed powerful sins that can not be removed by any number of

prAyacchitthams(expiatory rites). Emperumaan is always thinking about the

appropriate time to protect us committing such heinous paapams. When some of

the good deeds (sukruthams) fruition , then our Lord

comes forth to protect us , the paapAthmAs(sinful ones).

 

At that time, He does not come to our rescue directly . He makes us fall at

the feet of a SadaachAryan and starts us thereby to ascend the steps of

Parama Padham led by AdhivAhikars.

 

Who can inded measure the many and munificent parmaOpakArams of our Lord

through linking us

--engaged in unrelenting paapa kaaryams-- to the unbroken chain of AchArya

paramparai ?

Indeed ,there is no one , who can adequately measure and describe the great

upakArams of the Lord to us , the JeevAthmAs in this matter .

 

This UpakAra sangraham paasuram of Swamy Desikan needs to be reflected upon

by all aasthikAs.In this

tradition , many AchArya paramparais of Bhagavath RaamAnuja SampradhAyam

strive intensely for the upliftment (ujjIvanam)of their sishyA paramparais.

 

Thanks to Sri Satakopan swAmin for his permission.
