He has named his two sons as Parthasarathy and Vishnuvaradan. I am reminded of the unique life of our own Thirumangai Azhwar when I read these words. In Srivachana Bhushana, Pillai Lokacharya elucidates on how the Lord, out of his nirhetuka katAksa, uses even the slightest hint of good on the part of an individual as an excuse to bestow His Salvific Grace. Mr. Satyamurthy's choosing of Perumal over Siva, and his adorning his Deity with the stolen jewels suggests to me that the Lord is very much a part of his life. Humanity may have its sense of justice and moral order, but the Lord has His own plans. I am interested in knowing more about the Mylapore Srinivasar Koil. I have visited several temples in Chennai, but have not had the opportunity to visit this one. I first heard about it from one of my office's former computer consultants, who participates in the Veda Goshti there. How did it come to be known as "Desikar Temple?"
