Swami Desikan
Swamy
VedAntha Desikan (1268-1369 C.E) was born in ThUppul, an agrahAram near
Kaanchi VaradarAjar Temple. He is a direct disciple of AtrEya RaamAnujA
and spent most of his life at Kaanchi, Thiruvaheendhrapuram and SrIrangam.
His multisided genius and depth of knowledge about Bhagavath RaamAnuja
SiddhAntham is a direct result of Lord HayagrIvan's anugraham. In addition
to his own brilliant and incisive Sri Sookthis , he saved for posterity
the commentary on SrIbhAshya by Sudarsana Soori known as SruthaprakAsika
during the time of great upheaval at SrIrangam from foreign invasions.
The range and depth of Swamy Desikan's SrI Sookthis are profound. It will
take many life times to gain even a small level of understanding of these
magnificent SrI Sookthis.
There are more than 125 SrI Sookthis that we are blessed to have from
Swamy Desikan. Swamy Desikan created SrI Sookthis are in Sanskrit, Tamil
and Praakrutham. They deal with philosophy and religion, devotional lyrics
in Sanskrit (SthOthrams), Rahasya GranthAs in MaNipravALam and Tamil
Prabhandhams.
SthOthrAs are an instructional media for our AchAryAs for the advancement
of our ancient Darsanam of VisishtAdhvaitham.
Swamy Desikan was prolific and blessed us with sthOthrams known for their
poetic beauty, bhAvam, dhvani and rasam. The Ojas (power to stimulate
Bhakthi to Sriman NaarAyaNa) , the SamatA (Balanced expressions) ,
SausabdhatA (Usage of refined and precise words) , sabdhAlankArams ,
alliterations , slEsha (double meanings), upamAs (Similes) , UthprEkshA
(Figures of speech) and many of the 45 kinds of poetic metres are the
noble hallmarks of Swamy Desikan's SthOthrams .
