Branching Off of parakAla mutt

We have already mentioned how Brahma Thanthra Swathanthra Swami, the junior contemporary of Swami Desika became the disciple of NainArAchAriAr. While NainArAchAriAr continued the tradition of Swami Desika without establishing a separate line of ParamparA, Brahma Thanthra started one by establishing the ParakAla Mutt, also following Swami Desika Darsanam and worshipping the ArchA Murthi of Sri Lakshmi Hayageevar granted to him by Swami Desikan himself. The Swami moved to Mysore and the Royal family became ardent devotees of the New Mutt and continued to make huge grants for the sustenance of the Mutt for over several centuries until the monarchy was displaced by the Constitution.
