    Re: Sudarshan Slokam

    Dear Friends,

    I am giving below my translation of Sudarshana Ashtakam by Vedanta Desika.

    Sudarshana Ashtakam
    By
    Vedanta Desika
    Translated By
    P.R.Ramachander
    (Sudarshana is the holy wheel which Lord Vishnu uses as his chief weapon. There is a story that the daughter of Viswa Karma, who was the architect of the God’s, was married to the sun God and she left him because of his immense heat. It seems Viswa Karma put Sun God in a cage and churned him to reduce his heat. The heat was reduced and Sudarshana Chakra, Trishoola and Shakthi, respectively the weapons of Lord Vishnu, Shiva and Subrhamnya were born out of the churning. Sudarshana Chakra is given the status of God by the followers of Ramanujacharya. He being a prime devotee is called the Chakrathazhwar. (Sage of the wheel) and worshipped by Vaishnavas .
    Venkata Natha or Vedantha Desika is one of the greatest savants that Visishitadvaitha produced ,after Ramanuja. He lived about 140 years after Saint Ramanuja and has written several books. The prayers he wrote are immensely popular among the devotees of Vishnu. Raghavabhyudhyam, one of his greatest works has a commentary written by Appayya Deekshitha who was a savant following Advaitha .Though there were several great teachers in the Visishtadvaitha devotees, Desika(Meaning teacher) is only used for denoting Vedantha Desika.
    This octet on Sudarshana by Vedanta Desika is a great work of devotion. It is extremely musical and full of meaning. It is normally recited when there is an illness at home, to get rid of it.)
