SRI THIRUKKUDANTHAI DESIKAN’S SRI DESIKA SAHASRA NAAMAMS INTRODUCTION In the Tamil year Vikrama (1700 C.E), a boy was born to the great VaishNavite scholar SrI KrishNa Soori at Royampettai, who will be revered later as Apara Desikan (the other incarnation of Swamy Desikan) because of his extraordinary erudition in SaasthrAs and VedAnthA. His family is linked to Matapalli AacchAn (direct disciple of AchArya RaamAnujA), ApuLLAr (maternal uncle of Swamy Desikan and the Master poet, SrI VenkatAdhwari (author of the famous Lakshmi Sahasram and ViswaguNadarsa Champu). This child was born on a PurattAsi PoorAdam day and will become one of the greatest SrI VaishNavite AchAryAs. He was named Gopaladesika by sadagopan.org his parents. Even in his teen years, this precocious child mastered Grantha Chathushtayam (SrI BhAshyam, GitA BhAshyam, Bhagavath Vishayam and Rahasya Thraya Saaram) from the illustrious SaakshAth Swamy (VedAntha RaamAnuja Muni, who is considered as SaakshAth RaamAnuja avathAram). After completing his studies, the young Gopala Desikan was instructed by his AchAryan to settle down in Thirukkudanthai. By the time Gopala Desika turned thirty, flocks of sishyAs were attracted to him. Three sanyAsis were his key disciples, who are considered incarnations of Naatha Muni (VazutthUr Swamy), AaLavandhAr (VazutthUr Andavan) and SaakshAth Swamy (SrIrangam Swamy). Because of his scholarship in oral and written interpretations of SampradhAya Granthams, Gopala Desika came to be revered as Thirukkudanthai Desikan (a name given by Lord AarAvamudhan) and became the Munithraya SampradhAya Pravarthakar (Patriarch of this SampradhAyam). His lineage led on to the growth of many AchArya Paramparais including SrIrangam SrImath Andavan and PoundarIkapuram Andavan. Like Swamy Desikan, Thirukkudanthai Desikan 1 performed unjavruthti and settled in a hut opposite Swamy Desikan Sannidhi at Lord AravAmudhan’s temple. Among his many SrI Sookthis are: NikshEpa ChinthAmaNi, an original work on SaraNAgathy, a commentary on the magnum opus of Swamy Desikan (Rahasya Thraya Saaram), bhAshyam on Tatthvatika of Swamy Desikan, commentaries on ThiruppallANDu of PeriyAzhwAr and KaNNinuNN SirutthAmpu of Madhura Kavi aazhwAr, an Ahnika work dealing with the daily rituals for a SrI VaishNavan, AparyApthaamrutha DhyAna SOpAnam modeled after SrI Bhagavath DhyAna SopAnam of Swamy Desikan and Sri JayanthyAdhi NirNayam (the criteria for selecting the days to observe Sri Jayanthi et al). Two days before his ascent to Parama padham in 1782 C.E, Thirukkudanthai Desikan entered into SanyAsAsramam and was given the name of AparyApthAmrutha Swamy by Lord AarAvamudhan Himself. One of the most important works of Thirukkudanthai Andavan is his divine SrI Sookthi known as “SrI Desika dhivya sahasra Naama SthOthram”. This sthOthram has “rasa ganam and arTa Pushti” and covers systematically the life, Vaibhavam and the SrI Sookthis of Swamy Desikan. Thirukkudanthai Andavan himself describes the power of reciting this Sahasra Naamam about Swamy Desikan as “akhyaathi niraasi sarva sampath pradham” (a sthOthram which banishes nescience and confers on one the wealth of true Jn~Anam). The coverage includes the highlights of Satha DhUshaNi, Taathparya Chandirikai (GeethA BhAshyam), Tatthva MukthA Kalaapam (summary of our SiddhAntham), sadagopan.org NikshEpa RakshA (establishment of Prapatthi as the upAyam), Saccharithra RakshA (the three aachArams of SrI VaishNavAs: Sankhu-chakra dhAraNam, adorning of ThirumaNN and offering of food for the Lord (Bhagavath Nivedhanam), PaancharAthra rakshA, Gadhya thraya BhAshyam, ChathusslOki BhAshyam, Sankalpa SooryOdhayam and SrImath Rahasya Thraya Saaram and excerpts from ChillaRai Rahasyams. It is this extraordinary Sahasra Naamam on Swamy Desikan created by Thirukkudanthai Andavan and commented in Tamil by NavalpAkkam Dr. V. VasudEvAcchAr under the command of HH ParavakOttai PoundarIkapuram Andavan Swamy. adiyEn would attempt to provide the meaning and the gloss on individual naamAs in English from the insightful commentary by Dr. V. VaasudEvAcchAr (VV) Swamy of NaavalpAkkam. Dr.VV Swamy is from an illustrious scholarly family and has abundant Veda-Saasthra Jn~Anam and KaDAksha VeekshaNyam of MahA Vidwans from NavalpAkkam SrOthriyAs and Brahma nishtaas. What Sri VV Swamy has done is a great SampradhAya Kaimkaryam. Desika BhakthAs will forever be indebted to VipascchinmaNi VedAdhyEthaa Navalpaakkam Sri VV Swamy for His MahOpakAram to all of us, who cannot approach this Sri Kosam without the extraordinary help 2 through his magnificent commentary. It is indeed an eye opener and helps us understand the multifaceted genius of Swamy Desikan . PRANAAMAM It is customary to offer one’s praNaamams to Sudarsana BhagavAn prior to any major effort. He is recognized as the Sankalpa Sakthi of Para VaasudEvan. Swamy Desikan is said to have prayed to Sudarsana Bhagavan before an important debate to defeat the proponents of other darsanams. Due to the power of Sudarsana manthram, Swamy Desikan defeated the contestants easily. The SrI Sookthi of Para matha Bhangam arose in this context. At another time, Swamy Desikan composed an ashtakam and SthOthram on Sudarsana Bhagavan (SudarsanAshtakam and ShOdasAyudha SthOthram) to drive away a fever epidemic that gripped the people of Thirupputkkuzhi. Let us offer our salutations to Lord Sudarsana with two slOkams of SrI Sudarsana Sathakam of Sri Koora NaarAyaNa Jeeyar, a great Sudarsana UpAsakar of AchArya RaamAnujA’s time: saEdzRNyui¾hana idiz ividiz itrSk«Ty saivÇmicR> baýabaýaNxkar]tjgdgd»arÉUMna SvxaMna, dae> ojURËrgjRiÖbu"irpuvxUk{QvEkLykLya sadagopan.org Jvala jaJvLymana ivtrtu Évta< vIPsya=ÉIiPstain.

Lord Sudarsanan destroys the dark nescience with His brilliant rays and pervades all the worlds with His lustre and makes the rays of the Sun inferior to His radiance.

He has the prathyAleeDa posture (the right leg is bent and shortened, while the left leg is stretched out in a walking manner). He is pegged in PraNavam and the orbit of the Moon and stays inside the six cornered, intersecting triangles. With His matchless power, He protects all the worlds and confers auspiciousness on them. May That Lord Sudarsanan, the terror of asurAs and raakshasAs empower us always! After His prayer to Lord Sudarsana, Swamy Desikan went on to defeat sixteen rival systems to defend the doctrines of SrI VaishNavam. Through 54 exquisite verses, He refuted/demolished the theories of rival systems in front of Lord Dhaiva Naayakan of ThiruvahIndhrapuram. In the last stanza of Paramatha Bhangam, Swamy Desikan saluted the sixteen weapons of Lord Sudarsana for empowering Him to defeat the contestants soundly. Before starting the write-up on SrI VedAntha Desika Dhivya Sahasra Naamam, let us offer our own salutations to Lord Sudarsanan. Jaya Jaya Sri Sudarsana, Jaya Jaya SrI Sudarsana! 4 Xyan ðaekm!

  • IJ..Ta,.Dharma, and Sanfltana Dharma in Indian Culture: a Critical Appraisal
    IJ..ta,.Dharma, and Sanfltana Dharma in Indian Culture: A Critical Appraisal G.C. NAYAK Saniitana dharma literally means eternal law, principle or norm. But in order to understand the concept of Saniitana dharma, as it is used in our cultural heritage, it is important that we first have a working knowledge of what dharma stands for. The word dharma is not easily translated into the English language. Dharma has been used in different contexts to means different things, but it is usually understood as that principle or law which sustains, supports or maintains (dhiiralJaY individuals as well as the social order, and when applied beyond the context of society to a broader universal context, it would mean that law which sustains or maintains the world as a whole, the universe itself. It may mean a supporting principle that is inherent in things tl1emselves; it may also denote that principle which needs to be followed for the sustenance of the individual and of society. Radhakrishnan in his Religion and Society talks of dharma as "the norm which sustains the universe, the principle of a thing by virtue of which it is what it is." In the Brh adiira~tyaka Upani~ad1 , we ftnd dharma being identified with satya or truth and being extolled as the most powerful of all, stronger than even the ruling class. It is possible for a man who is righteous to vanquish one who is physically or otherwise strong, and therefore there is nothing greater than dharma. 3 !Jta of the !Jgveda, as a matter of fact, is an antecedent of dharma, where it finds a more varied application, in the context of the universe, society as well as the Li fe of individuals.

INTRODUCTION Destiny of a nation is shaped in its classrooms and teacher is the architect who shapes the destiny. Enlightened, emancipated and empowered teachers lead communities and nations towards better and higher quality of life. Teachers are expected to create soul cohesion, national integration and learning society. They disseminate knowledge and generate new knowledge. It is therefore, essential for nation to have a sound and effective programme of teacher preparation. The teacher education programme needs to be upgraded and updated periodically. A perusal of the reports of various commissions and committees indicate the preference for longer duration of B.Sc.B.Ed.course. It was also endorsed by the Hon‟ble Supreme Court of India in its judgement on 15 June 1993. “The Teachers Training Institutes are meant to teach children of impressionable age and we cannot let loose on the innocent and unwary children the teachers who have not received proper and adequate training.

  • Dharma Vahini Chapter IX
    Chapter IX. All May Seek Spiritual Wisdom igh and low, rich and poor, male and female —all are affected by illness, and all have the right to seek the Hdrugs that cure illness. So too, all people are affected by the illness of birth and death and all have the right to the drug, named knowledge of Brahman (Brahma-vidya), that is its effective cure. That is the heritage of all. According to the stage reached by each, the degree of development attained in spiritual discipline, and the extent of assimilation of the drug, each person will improve in health, that is to say, in peace and equanimity. But one thing has to be specially mentioned: along with the drug, the regulations regarding the mode of living have also to be strictly adhered to. The drug, Brahma-consciousness, has to be supplemented and strengthened by the appropriate dharma as well as by cultivation of devotion, wisdom (jnana), and discrimination (vairagya). Dietary and other restric- tions are essential components of the treatment of illness; so also mere initiation into knowledge of Brahman (Brahmajnana) is not enough. Without equanimity (sama), self-control (dama), and the other moral and spiritual excellences, no one, be they emperor or bondsman, high-born or low-born, can reach the goal. Though everyone is entitled to the heritage of knowledge of Brahman, only those who equip themselves with the qualifications can receive it. One must be strong enough to undergo treatment and to digest and assimilate the medicine, right? If the strength is not there, the great physician Himself will not certify that the patient can take the medicine.
