“शनत्यिं अज्ञात शनग्रहाम”् – The popular quote from Swamy’s Yatiraja Saptati, attributes Piratti
with the virtue of being incapable of meting out any sort of chastisement towards the
Jeevatmas. This virtue of being incapable of inflicting any afflictions on the Jeevatmas is
perhaps not just limited to Piratti, but is found abundantly in Acharya purushas as well.
Though utterly ineligible, this author has been the recipient of such abundant anugrahams
from many Acharya purusha-s. Standing in their presence is always the most blissful
experience. There have been a few blessed occasions when many Acharya purushas have
come together. For the disciples it is undoubtedly an enthralling experience to be in the
sacred vicinity of their collective presence (saanidhyam). This author had the fortune of
participating in one such occasion at Srirangam. It was when my Acharya Srimadabhinava
Vageesha Parakala Swamy came to pay his respects to another of my Acharya Sri Gopala
Deshika Mahadeshika on the occasion of the rajata-mahotsavam of the latter’s Ashrama
sweekaram. A few anubhavams are delineated here for the reader’s enjoyment.
It was a bright day, with fields scorching along the banks of kollidam that flowed scarcely
and tamely. The air carried the distant clings of the cattle bells, the scene of dark and light
greenery stood all around with the top few tiers of the Rajagopuram peeping amidst the
plantain fields. These were the surrounds that one could behold that day, when standing in
the environs of the Ashramam of our paramacharya Sri Gopala Deshika Mahadeshika,
celebrated verily as Abhinava vasishta.
Sri Paravakottai Swamy in purvashramam had stayed in Mysore for several years and had
mastered the sampradaya granthams at the lotus feet of Srimadabhinava Ranganatha
Parakala Swamy (33rd Acharya of Sri Parakala matam). As such his bhakti and abhimanam
towards the samsthanam was abundant.
