Indeed this magnificent and precious SrI Sookthi of our AchAryan is about the central doctrine of Sri VaishNava SampradhAyam (viz) performance of Prapatthi at the divine feet of divya dampathis; SwAmy DEsikan spent his life elucidating the importance of SaraNAgathi (Prapatthi yOgam) and elaborated on the doctrines and the divya Mithunam (SrI Lakshmi NaarAyaNan) and their united role in accepting the jeevan’s Prapatthi. sadagopan.org sadagopan.org The ThiruththaNkA sadagopan.org Sthala purAnam states that MahA Lakshmi rose out of the Lakshmi saras near the temple and embraced Her Lord. As a result of this display of special affection by His PirAtti, PerumAL’s Svayam JyOthi shone even more brightly for all to see from those times until now. That dIpam and its PrakAsam helps us to banish nescience (darkness) of every Thooppul Temple Gopuram kind. 1 SwAmy DEsikan was born in the sannidhi street of SrI Maragatha Valli samEtha SrI ViLakkoLi PerumAL (Thuppul agrahAram) and the sacred light of DhIpa PrakAsan illuminated the mind of infant SwAmy DEsikan and He became thus garbha SrImAn. SwAmy DEsikan went on to strengthen the MadappaLLI AcchAn SampradhAyam, which is nothing but AchArya RaamAnuja SampradhAyam. Thus, when we participate in nithyArAdhana kaimkaryam for SrI DhIpa PrakAsan and SwAmy DEsikan, we are indeed celebrating Bhagavath RaamAnuja darshanam in all its SwAmi DEsikan Avathara Sthalam glorious aspects. adiyEn recommends a beautiful web site on Thuppul /ThirutthaNkaa being created by Sri Sridhar Lakshminarasimhan of Bangalore (www.desikantemples.net) that would be of interest to you all. This web site is expected to be sadagopan.org sadagopan.org sadagopan.org launched soon. Rg vEdam celebrates those, who give pious samarpaNams to Bhagavath- BhAgavatha kaimkaryam this way: dakshiNAvatAm id imAni citrA dakshiNAvatAm divi sooryAsa: dakshiNAvantO amrutam bhajantE dakshiNAvanta: pra tiranta aayuhu: -- Rg vEdam : I.125.6 Meaning: There are matchless and wonderful rewards for those, who give pious donations through their participations in Bhagavath-BhAgavatha kaimkaryam. For the donors of these gifts, the Twelve Suns shine in the heaven as dIpams to light their way on earth. These blessed souls attain immortality and prolong their worldly lives (post-prapanna lives) and are examples to others in performing dhArmic duties. May 2 we become blessed through our “giving” to noble causes like nithyArAdhanam, performance of adhyayaNOthsavams, vEda PaarAyaNam at the Uhanthu aruLina NilangaL and most importantly to AchArya kaimkaryams. In this sthOthra grantham of sharaNAgathy dIpikai, 18 points are highlighted by SwAmy DEsikan according to VaikuNTha Vaasi Sri V.N.Sriraama DEsikAcchAr SwAmy of blessed memory: The incarnation of Piratti The Supremacy of the Lord over all gods (Para tatthvam) The importance of the Lord’s Six guNams His primacy in AchArya paramparai His undisputed status as our Sarva Vidha Bandhu His avathAra rahasyam His wonderful Sousheelya guNam The route of Bhakthi yOgam The glories of Prapatthi yOgam sadagopan.org sadagopan.org sadagopan.org The five limbs of Prapatthi The Post-Prapatthi conduct of a Prapannan The two categories of Bhagavath AarAdhanam The significance of Bhaagavatha kaimkaryam The exit of the jeevan from the body ArchirAdhi Maargam and travel of the jeevan The status of the Muktha Jeevan in SrI VaikuNTham The seven blemishes to avoid during our stay on earth AvathAram of this sthOthram as the essence of MahAnasa (MadappaLLi AacchAn) SampradhAyam. 3 “ApramEyam hi tatt tEja:” is the SrImath RaamAyaNa PramANam for the matchless tejas (JyOthi) of MahA Lakshmi. This tejas is acquired by the Lord through the elevation caused by the union with MahA Lakshmi. He transforms thus into DhIpa PrakAsan. She Herself states Her implicit relationship to her Lord in terms of His JyOthi: “AnanyA RaaghavENAham BhAskarENa PrabhA YatA” That most merciful Maragatha Valli thAyaar shines as PrabhA for the “Sun” at ThirutthaNkA divya dEsam and helps Him acquire the ThirunAmam of SrI DIpa PrakAshan. SrI Maragatha Valli thAyAr is thus the svaroopa-niroopaNa vaibhavam for DIpa PrakAshan. ïIman! ve»qnawayR> kivtaik›kkesrI , vedaNtacayRvyaeR me siÚxÄa< sda ùid . srImaan ve~nkaTa naathaaryah kavitaarkikakEsarI | vEdaantaacaarya varyo mE sannidhattaaM sadaa hrudi || sadagopan.org sadagopan.org sadagopan.org 4 slOkams and Commentary sadagopan.org sadagopan.org sadagopan.org shrI LakShmi HayagrIvar (Thooppul) Courtsey : Kumudham - Bhakthi Magazine 5 sadagopan.org DEsikar in ThEr—Thooppul ThEr—Thooppul DEsikar in 6 SlOkam 1 pÒapte> Stuit pden ivpCyman< pZyiNTvh àpdn àv[a mhaNt>, mÖaKy s<viltmPyjhTSvÉav< maNy< ytIñr mhans s<àdaym!.

The essence of that MadappaLLi AacchAn SampradhAyam has been included in this sthOthram about ViLakkoLi PerumAL. It is fair to say that the MadapaLLi AacchAn SampradhAyam has taken the form of this sthuthi. Even if this sthuthi is made up of passages associated with my imperfect speech, the glory of this eulogy however is not diminished. May the great ones, who have unshakable faith in Prapatthi as the means for mOksham, recognize and celebrate the sacred sampradhAyam! Additional Comments: First Line: PadhmaapathE: stuti-padEna vipacyamAnam SwaAy DEsikan starts the sthOthram with a statement that it is a sthuthi about the consort of MahA Lakshmi (PadmA PatE: stutipadam). PadhmA is SrI Maragathavalli thAyAr and Her Pathi (Lord) is DIpaprakAshan. SwAmy DEsikan says that the Sriya: Pathi 7 blessing us with His archA form at ThirutthaNkA is the focal point of this sthuthi. To remind us of the dvaya manthram and its rich relationship to SrI DEvi signified by this manthra rathnam, SwAmy chooses to address the Lord as PadhmA-Pathi here. The nithya SamyOgam of Periya PirAtti (MahA Lakshmi) with her Lord is behind all the anugrahams of Prapatthi. The significance of SrI shabdam (PadhmA here) preceding the Lord or qualifying the Lord is seen from the SrI VishNu SahsranAmams (612-621) that celebrate the power of this nithya yOgam of PadhmA and Her Pathi: shrIda: shrIsha: shrInivAsa: shrInidhi: shrIvibhAvana: shrIdhara: shrIkara: shrEya: shrImAn lOkatrayAshraya: The importance of SrI DEvi in our sampradhAyam is pointed out by Sri NadAthUr AmmAL in His magnum opus, Prapanna PaarijAtham to underscore the importance of PrapannAs performing AarAdhanam for SrI DEvi: gurUNAm vishrama sthAnam IshAnAJagatOsya ca MahiShI dEvadEvasya divyA nityAnapAyini Elaborate commentary on this important slOkam on LakshmI Tatthvam has been provided by Srimath U.Ve. V.S. KaruNAkarAcchAr SwAmy in the special issue of SrI HayagrIva PriyA (October 2001). The five reasons for such AarAdhanam are covered here. SwAmy DEsikan also of the MadappaLLi AacchAn sampradhAyam salutes the divya dampathis as being at the very top of AchArya sadagopan.org sadagopan.org sadagopan.org paramparai: gurubhyascca tat gurubhyascca namOvAkamadhImahE vruNImahE tathrAdhyou DAMPATI JAGATAAM PATI Padhmaa Pathi united with His consort as divya Mithunam(divine couple) is recognized and saluted as the joint head of this universe. To pay obescience to SrI DEvi directly or indirectly is SadAchArya SampradhAya kramam. We see this in AchArya RaamAnujA’s sharaNAgathi

The growth, strength and inter- supportiveness of these four pillars are key to spreading of the Swaminarayan Faith. Lord Shree Swaminarayan has acknowledged these pillars and laid down the key responsibilities for each of the pillars. He instructed his Nand-Santos to write Shastras which helped the devotees to perform devotion (Bhakti), acquire true knowledge (Gnan), practice righteous living (Dharma) and develop non- attachment to every thing material except Supreme God, Lord Shree Swaminarayan (Vairagya). There are nine types of bhakti, of which, Lord Shree Swaminarayan has singled out Kirtan Bhakti as one of the most important and fundamental in our devotion to God.

  • Goddess Lakshmi Goddess Lakshmi Is Vishnu’S Concert
    Tri Murthis: The Three Gods The Indian culture consisting of Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, Epics and the classical books explain that there are three Gods: Brahma Vishnu Maheswara Each of them has been identified with specific functions in the Universe. Brahma, the Creator Four-faced God Brahma is called Chaturmukha Brahma. He has taken birth from the Lotus flower which came out of the navel of Bhagavan Vishnu. He has four faces and four hands. He holds the four Vedas in one of His hands. He is seated on Lotus. The story of Brahma is the story of Creation. Brahma is the beginning. He is the Origin of all the Creation. This is sum and substance of the story of Creation as available in all the sacred books of India (Vedas and Shastras). Hamsa (Swan) is his vehicle. Goddess Saraswati Goddess Saraswati is Brahma’s consort. She is Goddess for Vidya or education and learning. She also grants Jnaana (Knowledge and Wisdom). Brahma granted boons to many asuras (demons) in the past because they did penance or tapasya for Brahma’s appearance. He gave them what ever boons they wanted. Some asuras like Hiranya Kashipa, became violent and cruel. Lord Vishnu had to incarnate on earth and kill these asuras who troubled the devataas, lokas and even the ordinary human beings. Vishnu, the Protector Vishnu is the God who protects the Universe. He took ten avataras (births or incarnations) to save the earth, to protect the good people and to punish the persons doing wrong deeds. Vishnu is also called Shesha Sayana.

Shivanandanagar, Distt. Tehri-Garhwal, Uttaranchal, Himalayas, India PUBLISHERS’ NOTE Sri Swami Sivanandaji. Maharaj was a healer of the body in his Purvashram (before he entered the Holy Order of Sannyasa). He was a born healer, with an extraordinary inborn love to serve humanity; that is why he chose the medical profession as a career. That is why he edited and published a health Journal “Ambrosia”. That is why he went over to Malaya to serve the poor in the plantations there. And, strangely enough, that is why, he renounced the world and embraced the Holy Order of Sannyasa. He was a healer of the body and the soul. This truth is reflected in the Ashram which he has established in Rishikesh. The huge hospital equipped with modern instruments was set up and the entire Ashram where all are welcome to get themselves healed of their heart’s sores and thoroughly refresh themselves in the divine atmosphere of the holy place. Sri Swamiji wanted that all systems of healing should flourish. He had equal love and admiration for all systems of healing. He wanted that the best of all the systems should be brought out and utilised in the service of Man.
