vidyAdAna vAk saraswati hridaya stavah

[Guest guest]

Dear Anand,

 

Namaste.

 

Given below is the Vak Saraswati Hridaya Stavah which is Brahma Prokta. The

presiding deity of this Stotra is Vak Saraswati rupa Devi Sarada. This stotra

is chanted by the brahmacharis who are into Veda Vidya and Sastra Adhyayana.

Specially, Veda Vidyarthis who are learning Veda, Tarka, Mimamsa, Vedanta, this

stotram is VERY ESSENTIAL for them to excel in studies. Regular parayana of

this stotra bestows sharp memory, razor sharp intelligence, analytical skills,

victory in sastra charcha (polemics and debates). This is quite popular among

the closed circles of Sarada Upasakas of Kashmir and in Sringeri.

 

This stotra was given to me by Brahmasri Gollapudi Gopalakrishna Sastry, who

was a very close friend of my gurunatha. Shri Gopala Krishna Sastry was the 1st

guru of Shri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal of Sringeri. He taught swamigal Tarka,

Vedanta and Sutra Bhashya in Narasimha Vana. Later on Abhinava Tirtha Swamigal

taught the advanced sciences to Sannidhanam.

 

This stotra is the favorite of both my gurunatha and Gopalakrishna Sastry.

Shri Gopala Krishna Sastry used to reside in Sringeri and later on shifted his

residence to Hyderabad. Now he is no more. A few words on him. Shri Gopala

Krishna Sastry, learnt Tarka, Vyakarana, Mimamsa, Kavya, Sankara Advaita and

Kashmir Trika Siddhanta (entire Tantraloka) from Brahmasri Mahamahopadhyaya

Dravida Rajeshwara Sastry of Kasi. Initiated into Srividya Upasana by Brahmasri

Tadepalli Raghavananarayana Sastry of Chandavolu. Right from childhood, he was

brought up under the personal care of Chandrasekhara Bharati Swamigal.

Currently, the grandson of Dravida Rajeswara Sastry is residing in Chennai. His

name is Mani Dravida Sastrigal.

 

It is my fortune that Gopalakrishna Sastry used to reside next to our street

in Hyderabad. Now he is no more. This stotram is the kripa bhiksha of this

great personality.

of the tongue of your son.
