Śrī Stuti | Swāmi Deśikan
It is believed that reading and studying Śrī Stuti can bestow many kinds of riches to devotees – both spiritual and material. It is also filled with profound philosophical and devotional meaning.
While there have been several texts known as Śrī Stuti, this is the one-handed down through Swami Vedanta Deśikan, one of the most revered Gurus of Śrī Vaiṣṇava paramparā of 13th century.
The story tells that once a very poor Brahmachari visited Āchārya Vedanta Deśikan and told about his not being successful in gaining the hand of a suitable bride because of his poverty.
The most compassionate Vedānta Āchārya took him to the mūrti of Perundevi Thayar, the divine consort of Lord Varadarāja and composed a Stuti on this Arcā Mūrti of Śrī Devi to receive Her blessings for the Brahmachari.
At the conclusion of the recitation of this new Stuti for Śrī Devi, a rain of gold coins poured in front of Swāmi Deśikan. The Brahmachari collected the coins, offered his Vandanams to Swāmi Deśikan and Perundevi Thayar and found a suitable bride to enter Gṛihastha Āśrama.
