About the Teacher
Know More about the Course
Gadya (Prose) form of Stotra literature is a unique genre of Samskrita kaavya, popular for several centuries. It is characterized by long compound words (samastapadas) which bring out emotions forcefully and are suited for grand descriptions of deities. Raghuveera Gadyam (Mahaveera-Vaibhavam) of Sri Vedanta Desika is one such majestic prose stotra which describes the valour and majesty of Srirama, incomparable in battlefield. The opening sambodhana addresses Rama as “Mahaveera'' – the great warrior. The text is actually a series of sambodhanas (epithets) addressing Srirama. As a part of these epithets, Sri Desika also weaves the incidents of Srimad Ramayana in the same order of Valmiki Ramayana. There are about 94 such epithets in the text, which summarize the entire story of the Ramayana. As a result, the parayana of this short text is believed to grant the punya of reciting the entire Ramayana.
The composer, Sri Vedanta Desika, is a highly venerated Acharya of the Srivaishnava Paramparaa, popularly titled “कवि-तार्किक-सिंहः'' – A Lion among poets and logicians. A prolific composer, he has authored over 120 works in Sanskrit, Tamil and Manipravalam (mixture of languages). These include various stotras, kaavyas, chitrakaavyas and works on Vishishtadvaita philosophy.
Each line / epithet of the Gadyam will be explained by the teacher, giving the split (padavibhaaga) of the Samastapada and the meaning of each component in simple Sanskrit. Overall meaning will also be given in English.
