॥ श्रीः॥ ु ॥ श्रलक्ष्मरहयवदन लक्ष्मरनारायण वेणगोपाल परब्रह्मणे नमीः॥ ु ॥ श्र शठकोप रामानज देशशके भ्यो नमीः॥ ु ॥ श्र ब्रह्मतन्त्र स्वतन्त्र परकाल गरुपरम्परायै नमीः॥ Shrimath Abhinava Vageesha Vijayam Smt. Vedavalli, Kalyanapuram Sri Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Matham with Sri Lakshmi Hayagriva as the presiding deity is one of the foremost monastic institution of parama vaidika Srivaishnava Sri Sampradayam. This institution was established under the direct command of Swamy Deshika who shines as the first acharya of this matham. Sri Perarulalaiyya Jeeyar, who was a disciple of Swamy Deshika, is the first yatishvara acharya of this matham. Swamy Deshika himself embellished Sri Perarulalaiyya Jeeyar as "Sri Brahmatantra Swatantra" and "Parakala", due to which the matham headed by this Jeeyar popularly came to be known as Sri Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Swamy Matham. This matham possesses a rich heritage and has been blessed with an illustrious paramparai of acharyas known for their jnana, anushtana and vairagya. At present, the high seat is decorated by HH Paramahamsetyadi Srimath Abhinava Vageesha Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Yatindra Maha Deshika. This garland of psalms is a small offering at the feet of our Swamy who blessed this author with panchasamskaram and bharanyasa anushtanam. It is a divine blessing for an unworthy soul like this author for having been bestowed with an opportunity to sing the glories of our Acharya sarvabhouma. A bee from the hive that drones the feet of Sarvatantra Swatantra In the lineage of the ochre attired Brahmatantra Swatantra Comes a beacon light that dispels the nescience of kutantra Beseech we the holy feet of Abhinava Vageesha, of the Lord's disciples who is a paratantra - 1 The hive here denotes the entire paramparai of Sri Ramanuja / Sri Deshika Sampradayam. All the acharyas of this satsampradayam have droned as bees at the Lotus feet of Sarvatantra Swatantra or Swamy Deshika, who happens to be the first acharya of this matham. Our Swamy Srimath Abhinava Vageesha Deshika, who hails from the spiritual lineage (jnana paramparai) of Sri Brahmatantra Swatantra, comes like a beacon light of knowledge and enlightenment, dispelling the nescience or ajnanam caused due to the philosophies of kutantra or falsehood. We supplicate at the feet of our Swamy, who remains ever in service to Bhagavan and Bhaagavathas. E-23
