and deep. Our Swamy’s Padukas make no distinction when bestowing grace and benediction to those seeking refuge in its shade. Our Swamy preaches us the shastra-arthams leading us to the thiruvadi of Sriman Narayana. Our Swamy, by conferring upon us the wealth of brahma-jnanam, eventually effecting our redemption from the clutches of this mundane morass and thereby makes us attain the lotus feet of the supreme wealth (brightest light) or Paraman by the performance of prapatti through the merciful benevolence of a sadaacharya. Let us plead at the feet of divya-dampathis for the glories of our Achaarya who is our monarch, to reach everlastingness. Let us beseech the holy feet of our paramount saviour Srimad Abhinava Vageesha Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Maha Deshika. Let us pray to the Supreme Divya-dampati to bless our Swamy with a vedokta ayushyam of a hundred years with good health in the divine service to our sampradayam and that he continues to bless us worldly souls with his benevolent grace for many years to come. We, his disciples pray to the padukas of Purvacharyas to bless us to be able to perform sampradaya kainkaryam that brings forth our Swamy’s mukhollasam. We submit ourselves at his feet to resign and transcend from this world to attain the divine bliss and communion with the Lord. This garland of words is strung to embellish his holy feet that are so sanctified. We submit ourselves at his thiruvadi and pray to grant the dust from his holy feet as our lasting refuge. Srimadabhinava Vageesha Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Maha Deshikaya Namaha Rudolf Otto (Sweden) addressing the Parish after his audience with Srimadabhinava Ranganatha Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Swamy at Parakala Matham Mysore said – “His imparts give us a deep impression of the noble symbolism of Indian religion and of the personality of one of its most important representatives and patriarchs”. Swamy blessed him with a portrait of Sri Lakshmi Hayavadana and Swamy Vedanta Deshika, which is still found in the Swedish university library. E-11
