Need Info : Gostipuram Svaami

[Guest guest]

Dear Sri Gopalaswamy :

 

ThirukkOshtiyUr ( Sri GOshtipuram )

Sowmya NaarAyaNAchArya Swami lived for

65 years on this earth from 1878-1943 .

He is one of the legends of his times and today too

for his illustrious contributions as an

authority on Sri Kosams of Sri VaishNavism .

 

He was born 19 years before Abhinava Desika

Sri UttamUr VeerarAghavAchArya Swamy ,

( Grandfather of our Sri Anand ) , the savant

who tirelessly examined the Sri Kosams of

earlier AchAryAs to establish the authenticity

of texts before commenting on them .UttamUr Swamy used

Sri Goshtipuram Swami's tradition as one of the most

authentic one .Such is the greatness of this

Swami from GOshtipuram .

 

Dr. S.M.S. Chari , the author of many clear

texts on Sri VaishNavism is a disciple of

Sri Goshtipuram Swami and had kalkshEpam

of Sri Rahasya Traya Saaram under Goshtippuram

Swami . Regarding the latter's AchArya parampara ,

it is traced in the AchArya Vamsa Vruksham ,

a chronology released during the occasion

of UttamUr Swami's centenial celebration

this January .Some one , who has that text can

trace the paramparai .
