Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Dear BhakthAs: I am enclosing mail from SrIman Navalpaakkam Ananth Swamy who is known to all of us through his joint Kaimkaryams for dhivya dEsams and Dhivya prabhandhams with Driman Ramadurai Venkat of Bahrain . Sriman Ananth has created a special web site for His Veda AgrahAram (SrI AgrahAram) that is steeped in the tradition of great SrI VaishNavite AchAryAs . All their efforts have been blessed by SrI AlarmElmangA SamEtha SrinivAsa Parabrahmam , who presides over this village , where Parama VaidhikAs reside and protect our ancient traditions and impart knowledge to the next generation of aasthikAs. Our dear SrI MaadhavakkaNNan of Sirirangam and Singapore has posted an excellent article on NaavalpAkkam today in the lists and I refer you to that posting for more details on this extraordinary village , which is like an oasis of tranquility and scholarship amongst all the turbulence of modern day India and the world . The address for the new web site is: http://navalpakam.tripod.com In this beautiful web site , You can have the darsanam of the Dhivya dampathis but also can hear the audio clippings of Ghanam rendering of Veda Manthram , two verses from the Adhikaraa Sangraham of Swamy Desikan , Manthra Pushpam and most importantly the Swamy Desika SthOthra Paatam clippings from the 9 year old son of SrI Ananth Swamy , Master N.A.Sundaravaradhan It is stimulating to know that at such an young age, Master Sundaravaradhan has learnt the complete set of the SthOthrams of Swamy Desikan and recite it by heart. He is setting an example to all Vishnava youngsters.Please listen to his renderings . In the SrI Saila Vamsam ( Periya Thirumalai Nambi Vamsam) was born Pancha Matha Bhanjana Thaatha DEsikan ( 1509-1591 C.E) . He was the Raaja Guru for Vijaya Nagara kings at Chandragir i. The Pancha (Five) mathams that he defeated in religious debates to celebrate the glories of Bhagavath RaamAnuja Darsanam are : Kapila , KaNAtha, Sukha , Jaina and Saiva Mathams.He performed many Yaj~nams and had as his key sishyar , SrI RangarAmAnuja Muni , who is revered as "Upanishad BhAshyakArar " by us for blessing us with VisishtAdhvaithic intrepretation of the Upanishads .Pancha Matha Bhanjana ThAthAcchArya Swamy was unexcelled in thre areas of our Darsanam : (1) Veda Maarga prathishtApanam (2) Para Tatthva NirNayam and (3) AachAra anushtAnam . In this lineage came many Vaishnavite AchAryAs like SrI Lakshmi KumAra ThAtha Desikan ( 1572-1632 C.E) , the SveekAra Puthran of Pancha Matha Bhanjana ThAtha Desikan , Thirupputtkkuzhi Swamy ( B1823 C.E), VilliyampAkkam Swamy ( Gopala ThAtha Desikan ), SrI AyyAtthu Swamy ( Ayyaa SrI KrishNa ThathArya Swamy ) , Thirupputtkkuzhi Nrusimha ThAthArya Swamy and others. The Moola Purushar for the NaavalpAkkam Vamsam was Ayyaa KumAra ThAtha Desikan .He had mastered the adhyayanam of the four VedAs and had performed hundred yaj~nams and hence was revered as " Chathur Veda Satha Krathu " . He was the Minister for the Naayak king of Tanjore (Achyutha Naayak) and it was in his time the Temple for Lord SrinivAsa was built and consecrated at NaavalpAkkam . In his 8th generation was born another Chathur Veda Satha Krathu, SrI SaThakOpa KrishNaswamy ThAthArya MahA Desikan (SKTD) in the year 1904 C.E. His centenneray was celebrated by HH Sri PeriyANDavan of Srirangam on March 18,2004 at NaavalpAkkam in a grand manner . The only son of SrI SKTD Swamy ( Sri U.Ve N.S.R Swamy ) and his son SrI N.S. SrinivAsa RaghavaacchAr Swamy ) conducted the SathamAna Uthsavam in the company of great Veda VidhwAns of ThAtha Vamsam . The incredibly scholarly publications of Great scholars with links to NaavalpAkkam are assembled in the special Web site created by SrIman NavalpAkkam Ananath Swamy. Thus goes the tradition at NaavalpAkkam . All of us should make it a point to visit this SrI AgrahAram. The BrahmOthsavam for the dhivya dampathis of NavalpAkkam is scheduled this year to commence on May 3 . The Uthsavam program is available at the web site . Please plan to attend and meet some of " the living legends " of this scholastic village , who continue to contribute so much for our ancient darsanam blessed by Bhagavath RaamAnuja and His PoorvAchAryAs in an untiring manner.
