Dear All,
This question triggered my to get clarification on one more less
popular but authentic historical event. I do not know how is this is
correct, but I had been thinking that it is authentic. Learned
scholars kindly clarify.
I heard that though Swami Desikan was more on to the ShriVaishnavam
on the Sanskrit Literary front in his initial stages, it seems, swami
Periyavacchan Pillai gave him a orientation towards the greatness of
Azhwars' prabandhams. He did that by taking up Amalanathipiran
pasurams it seems. It goes as follows:
The ten prabandhams of Amalanathipiran starts with the following
words:
Amalan
Uvandha
Mandhi
CHAduram
PAram
THUunda
KAI
Pari
Aalam
Kondal
If you see the first three pasurams, the first letters give you A U M
which is the pranavam, fourth is CHA which means and in sanskrit. The
next three give PA THU KAI - PATHUKAI which means the thiruvadi of
the supreme lord Shriman Narayanan. A U M CHA PADHUKAI and I couldn't
find out what came out of the last three. Does anyone have
information on this? Kindly let me know. It seems, after aacchan
pillai exposed the greatness of the azhwars prabandhams using this as
the beginning lesson, swami Desikan got inclined more towards the
Dravida Vedham and also composed a lot of tamizh literary works.
I hope no one misinterprets this mail as the one that talks inferior
about swami desikan or anything like that. I have no intent to
attempt to or prove that any of our acharyas as inferior to anyone
else. To me everyone is great and I see no discrimination amongst
them and I request the readers of this mail to interpret this mail
the same way.
