TN of H.H. Rangapriya Mahadesikan Swamigal

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhaktas,

 

Maasi Makham is the tirunakshatram of H.H. Swami Rangapriya Mahadesikan

of Bangalore. I thought of sharing this information

on this forum since several members of our group are his

Shishyas or have been associated with him (formally and informally).

H.H. Swami Rangapriya Mahadesikan is a an extremely learned scholar

in the three schools of philosophy. He is a recognized expert in

Yogabhyasa. His Asramam in Bangalore is called AshtAnga Yoga VigyAna

Mandiram.

 

In his PurvAshrama, Swami served as the Chairman of the Sanskrit

Dept. at the National College, Basavanagudi. He was a model

instructor-extremely caring and concerned for his students in class-he

imparted pearls of wisdom about a number of issues in one-on-one

discussions outside the classroom. Adiyen has the good fortune of being

associated with Swamigal for more than twenty years. Swamigal has

written prolifically about our Sampradayam. His work on VishNu

Sahasranamam in the Bharata Darshanam is a masterpiece. The recently

published

Sandyavandanam book (by the Tillastana Swami Kaimkarya Sabha and

reprinted by Sri Ahobila Matham) contains an excellent foreward by

Swamigal in which he beautifully explains the significance of the three

Arghyams offered while performing Sandyavandanam.

 

His discourses are a pleasure to hear. Invariably, he has extremely

interesting anecdotes to narrate. He uses excellent analogies to

make a point. I am sure members of our group like Sri KrishNa KalaLe,

and Sri Tatachar who have been beneficiaries of his Pravachana Sevas

will vouch for this and have information to add on this subject.

 

During a recent visit to India, Adiyen was previleged to attend

Swami's morning Tiruvaradhanam at the Asramam on two occassions.

Following the Aradhanam, Swami gave an excellent Pravachana Seva

on Gadya Trayam for half an hour. All attendees were visibly moved

at the end of it. I wished that Swami kept on speaking

endlessly on this subject. Such was the interest he evoked.

 

Swami Rangapriya Mahadesikan TiruvadigalE SharaNam,

 

Muralidhar Rangaswamy

Dear friends,

 

having benefitted enoromously from H.H Rangapriya swamy, I thought I would

add a few lines. One should visit him definitely to get a feel for

calmness and at the same time worldly wise view points. One person who

bridges the ancient orthodox system of philosophy and the turbulent modern

times with equal poise in dealing with both issues! This great person is a

"problem solver" by just his presence. So many folks go to him with so

much on their minds and these problems disappear as irrelevant before even

they talk to him.

 

I wish I had the capacity to understand his message and follow a few of

them in my daily life.

 

My heartfelt pranamams

 

Adiyen

Krishna Kalale
