Acharya Vaibhavam (42nd Jeeyar)

7) Asthana Sveekaram (October 24, 1941) Twelve years had passed by since HH The 42nd Jeeyar entered into SanyAsa Aasramam. The revered Jeeyar was now 62 years old. His Saasthra Jn~Anam and anushtAna Bhalam and VairAgyam were legendary. HH The 41st Jeeyar's health had deteriorated by the beginning of the year 1941 C.E. and on October 24 of that year, HH The Jeeyar attained His AchAryan's Thiruvadi.HH The 42nd Jeeyar became the PeetAdhipathi. HH The 42nd Jeeyar performed the thirteen day Kaimkaryams for the HH The 41st Jeeyar with Veda PaarAyaNam, Dhivya Prabhandha, Desika Prabhandha Sevais and honored all the particpants in the Kaimkaryam with vEshti, Saalvai and abubdant dakshiNai.

Pattabishekam of Jeeyar & Karthavya Prataijnai (1941) On the 14th day after the ascent of HH The 41st Jeeyar to Sri Vaikuntam, HH The 42nd Jeeyar was bathed in the sacred waters of Cauvery river in a sabhai full of great Sri VaishNavA scholars such as PutthankOttakam Swamy, GhOshtipuram Swamy and others. It was a MahOthsavam.The PattAbhishEkam date was Vishu Samvathsaram, Iypaasi 9, Sukla Paksha Panchami (a Friday dear to Sri RanganAyaki ThAyAr).It was 12 years after HH The 42nd Jeeyar was selected for Sri MalOlan's AarAdhanam by HH The 41st Jeeyar.This was six decades ago.

Kathavya Pratijnai During the reign as Chinna Jeeyar, this revered AchAryan had given considerable thought to what he would like to accomplish during His reign as the PeetAdhipathi. He now articulated those wishes and vowed (Karthavya PraTij~nai) before the assembled Sri VaishNavAs that He would like to accomplish them with the blessings of MalOlan.These seven grand Kaimkaryams that defined HH The 42nd Jeeyar's reign as a golden one are:

1. The Establishment of a Veda-Prabhandha-Saasthra PaatasAlai for the Kshemam of the Sri VaishNava youngsters. (This will grow into the famous MadhurAnthakam Paatasaalai, which has trained many Sri VaishNavite Scholars in the past six decades).
2. The enhancement of the Jn~Anam of the Sampradhya VidvAns through an annual conference of Scholars atleast once a year. (This assembly of Sri VaishNavite Scholars under the moderation and guidance of the Azhagiya Singars is the reputed MalOla Sadhas).
3. Establishment of Sri Matam branches at the Northern parts of India on the banks of GangA (PrayAg et al) and the appointment of SampradhAya VidvAns there to enhance the Jn~Anam and AasthIkyam of the residents of these regions.
4. Creation of the Aahnika Granthams for the benefit of the Sri Matam SishyAs, who belong to the Rg and Saama Saakhais.
5. Completion of the Commentary on Srimath Rahasya Thraya Saaram and releasing it as a Sri Sookthi (Saara Bodhini).
6. Creation of a New Monthly magazine named " Sri Nrusimha PriyA" to grow the AasthIkyam of Sri VaishNavA community.
7. Sending the VidvAns to different parts of the country for upanyAsams to help understand one's svadharmams, as the NaasthIkyam grows in the country and AasthIkyam wanes. (This was six decades ago).

Puttankottam Swamy's Tribute HH The 42nd Jeeyar announced the appointment of a great Scholar, Sri U.Ve. PutthankOttakam SrinivAsAcchAr Swamy as His Minister to help accomplish these noble and poineering tasks.

The PutthankOttakam Swamy was deeply moved and read a special poem consisting of 8 slOkams that he had composed for the PattAbhishEkam Occasion. The special words of respect that Sri PutthankOttakam Swamy selected to salute his New AchAryan are: Aajanma Sudhda Charitha: (One of blemishless conduct from birth on), Akhila SathguNADya: (abode of all auspicious GuNams), KamanIya Seela:(Of the noblest of achAram and anushtAnam), MunIndhra: (King of Sages).

In one of the Slokams, Sri Manthri Swamy described how HH The InjimEttu Azhagiya Singar Spends His days and nights:


(meaning): This noblest of souls spends his days tasting the makarandham of Swamy NammAzhwAr's Sri Sookthis, swimming in the nectarine ocean of Sri BhAshyam of AchArya RaamAnujA and soaks in the amrutha showers of Swamy Desikan's Sri Sookthi vAkyams.

The poet/admirer of HH The 42nd Jeeyar says in the next slOkam that there is no one equal to this king of sages (nissamOyam MunIndhra:).He compares the different noble aspects of the Jeeyar to Sage VyAsaa, Bhaktha PrahlAdhan and sage Sukha Brahmam in this slOkam.
