several esoterical mantrams imparted to him by great Acharya purushas. This happens in
the solitary stunning silence of the early-morning and takes a significant portion of Swamy’s
morning anushtanams. Swamy then performs the manasika aradhanam and as part of it the
bhutashuddhyadi anushthanam that is prescribed as a preamble for the ensuing brundavana
and abhigamana aradhanam.
Upon completion of this prakriya, Swamy takes to absolute mounam and embarks from his
bhavanam in a brahmatejomaya-divya-rupam as per the sukti “त्रिजगत्पुण्यफलं
त्रििण्डहस्र्तम ्”. With an undisturbed tranquility of mental semblance, Swamy proceeds
towards the chinna hayagriva sannidhi. This is the sannidhi of SrI Lakshmi Hayagriva that
was consecrated and worshipped by Sri Ghantavatara Parakala Swamy the 26 th pattam
Acharya of Sri Parakala matham. A very pracheena murthy with rare shubhashraya
lakshanams. Swamy performs mangalashasanams and dvadasha pradakshinams (twelve) of
this sannidhi and then proceeds towards the brundavana sannidhanams.
On the way Swamy performs manasika pranamam at Chitrakutam that has been the
nijavaasa-bhavanam of several Asthana Purvacharyas. Its antique palatial chambers and the
japa garbhamantapam still reverberate with the syllables of the sacred Ekakshari which the
Acharyas used to incessantly meditate upon. The large portrait of Asthana pradhana
Guruparampara depicting Swamy Deshika, Swamy Nayanaracharya and Sri Brahmatantra
Swatantra Swamy creates an overwhelming yoga-sanidhyam. This is also the place where
Swamy ensures the conduct of all Purvacharya Aradhanams.
Remembering the scriptural statements “िंप्राप्र्तिद्गुरुर्तिोस्िमये ियालोः”, with folded
hands, Swamy then approaches the lower tier courtyard which has the brundavana
sannidhanams of several Acharyas. The brundavana sannidhis from the 26th pattam Swamy
onwards are found here. Previous to these are believed to be situated on the hills of
Thirumala. A few are on the banks of Kaveri near Srirangapattana and Lokapavani and in
Krishnapuram. With manasika prarthana to the previous Acharyas, Swamy first arrives at the
sannidhi of Sri Ghantavatara Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Swamy. At each sannidhi
swAmy offers sashtanga deergha dandam followed by mangalashasanam and
chatuhpradakshinams. Continuing from here Swamy subsequently visits the sannidhis of Sri
Vedanta Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Swamy, Sri Ranganatha Brahmatantra Swatantra
Parakala Swamy, Sri Krishna Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Swamy, Sri Vageesha
Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Swamy, Srimadabhinava Ranganatha Brahmatantra
Swatantra Parakala Swamy, Srimadabhinava Srinivasa Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala
Swamy and Srimadabhinava Ramanuja Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Swamy and offers
his most reverential prayers as acclaimed by the words “आचाययस्िहररस्िाक्षार्त ्”.
Continuing from there Swamy takes a pradakshinam and enters the sannidhi corridor from
the northern entrance. Once inside, remembering the 6
