Sri Mahaveera Vaibhavam or Sri Raghuveera Gadyam is a prose-stuti or gadyakavya of Sri Nigamantha Mahadesikan. Sampradaya says this stuti was composed by Sri Desika on the archa murti of Sri Rama of the divya kshetra Thiruvendipuram. Consisting of 94 churnikas the stuti begins with the words ‘jaya jaya mahavira’. Swami Desikan has himself named this stuti as Mahaveera vaibhavam vide the line ‘pathata mahaveera vaibhavam sudhiyah’ in the concluding verse of the work.
Adiyen, with whatever meagre knowledge in Sanskrit that has been acquired, has attempted to narrate the meanings of this wonderful piece of prose-poetry with special emphasis on the basics of Sanskrit.
The recordings are done in parts. The link to the audio file of the first part that contains the introduction and meanings of the first 19 churnikas is as below

Sreeram.
Feeling blessed to be able to experience the virtues and description of our beloved God Sri Ramar through the eyes and words of Swami Vedanta Desikan.
Thank you sir for taking this up.
This is indeed such a great service. Came across this site while looking for word by word meaning for Raghuveera Gadyam. I’m more than happy to have found this. Cannot express in words how much this is of help. Can now fully relish the work of Swami Desikar Heartfelt thanks.
Thank you so much Sreeram ji…we are blessed to hear such nectarine words of wisdom by Swami Vedanta Deshikan and also we are extremely grateful to you for handing down such treasures to us seekers. This is true paropakaram.
Your explanation of Hayagreeva stotram was life changing…
Made me look at Lord Hayagreeva from a completely different perspective.
