The Sri Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Mutt was founded at Kanchipuram in 1338 by Sri Brahmatantra Swatantra Jeeyar, one of the foremost disciples of Swami Vedanta Desika. Inscriptions at the Varadaraja Perumal temple of Kanchi record the Lord's charge to him: to keep the worship of the deity unbroken, to look after the library, and to spread the teaching of Sri Ramanuja.

The worship of the Mutt centres on Sri Lakshmi Hayagriva, the Lord of learning, worshipped by the Acharyas as handed down from Swami Desika. From Kanchi the Mutt came in time to Mysore, where its Acharyas are the gurus of the royal family, and it has branches in Bengaluru, Tirupati, Srirangam, Hyderabad and beyond.

The line of Acharyas has continued without a break for nearly seven hundred years. The present Acharya, the 36th, Srimad Abhinava Vageesha Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Maha Desikan, ascended the peetha in 1992. Through the year the Mutt celebrates the Thirunakshatrams (birth stars) of its Acharyas and its utsavams; this page gives their dates for the year and city you choose.

लक्ष्मीनाथसमारम्भां नाथयामुनमध्यमाम् ।
अस्मदाचार्यपर्यन्तां वन्दे गुरुपरंपराम् ॥
lakṣmīnāthasamārambhāṃ nāthayāmunamadhyamām |
asmadācāryaparyantāṃ vande guruparaṃparām ||
"I bow to the line of our Acharyas, which begins with Lakshminatha, Lord Sriman Narayana, has Sriman Nathamuni and Sri Yamunacharya in its middle, and reaches down to our own Acharya."
Guru Parampara Taniyan
पर्याय भाष्यकराय प्रणतार्तिं विधून्वते ।
ब्रह्मतंत्रस्वतंत्राय द्वितीय ब्रह्मणे नमः ।।
paryāya bhāṣyakarāya praṇatārtiṁ vidhūnvate ।
brahmatantrasvatantrāya dvitīya brahmaṇe namaḥ ।।
"Salutations to Brahmatantra Swatantra, a second Brahma, like another Bhashyakara (Sri Ramanuja), who removes the sorrow of all who bow to him."
Taniyan of Sri Brahmatantra Swatantra Jeeyar, founder and 1st Acharya (text as printed by the Parakala Mutt)
