Sri Vaishnava adiyaargaLukku adiyen Thirumalai Vinjamoor Venkatesh

Dasan ThaaLum ThaDakkaiyum kooppi thendan samarpikkiraen.

 

First I would like to thank Sri Mani for including me in the list of

the most privileged Sri Vaishnavas.

 

My poorvikam is Kanchipuram and my Grandfather (paternal - maternal

grandparents are still at Kanchipuram) settled in Thiruvallikkeni

about 60 years ago and from then on we are continuing there.

 

I belong to the clan of Sri Arulala Perumal Emberumanar one of the 74

simhasanadhipathis, established by Sri Ramanuja.

 

I did by B.E degree in Mechanical Engineering from a private college

near Kanchipuram. It was at this time, while I was at Kanchipuram with

my Grandparents (maternal) I started developing interest in, let me

not say our sampradhayams, but , going to the temple.

 

I used to reside in the Vadakku Mada Veedhi of Sri Varadarajar Temple.

In fact I started going to Temple just because my grandpa asked me to

do so. But due to the Kadaksham of Sri Varadarajar I slowly developed

interest in our religion and started learning the Divya Prabhandams

from one of the highly rated Scholars Sriman U.Ve Thirupathi

Krishnamachariar Swami.

 

 

When I completed my degree and came back to Thiruvallikkeni, I started

my Kainkaryam at Sri Parthasarathy Swamy Koil.

 

Sri Varadarajar in fact brought me to the right path and handed me

over to Sri Parthasarathy and Sri Narasimhar at Thiruvallikkeni.

 

At present I have completed learning about 1600 Verses in the Divya

Prabhandam and I am attending all the Ghosti's regularly while at

home.

 

I am also doing the Sri Paadham Thangi kainkaryam at Thiruvallikkeni.

In fact, we have an association for this cause and it is doing well

since it was started 3 years ago.

 

I am presently working as a Senior Sales Engineer in Fisher-Xomox

Sanmar Limited a company in the Sanmar Engineering Group which is the

sister concern of Chemplast in Chennai. I am a bachelor and was born

in Year 1972.

 

I am sending this introduction about me from Iowa state where I am now

put up on an Assignment with our collaborators. I will be going back

home by end August / early September 1998

 

As a matter of fact, I would like to go back much earlier as I am

missing a lot of Utsavams at our temple in Thiruvallikkeni.

 

Well, I only know to recite the Prabhandams that I have learnt and

since I wanted to know more about our Philosophy I have d in

this Bhakti list, which, I consider after going thro' the archives, is

the best one.

 

I will be sharing all that I know - Not much (AdiyEn siria gnanathan)

with all our members and would like to learn a lot about our

philosophies from all the scholars in this list and elsewhere.

 

 

My residence address back home is

 

T.V.Venkatesh

No. 54 Singarachari Street,

Thiruvallikkeni,

Chennai 600 005

 

Residence Phone Number is 8529852

 

I think I have given a fairly understandable introduction about me.

Once again I gratefully thank Sri Mani for including me in this list

 

Sri Man Narayana Charanau Sharanam Prapattye

Sri Mathe Ramanujaya Namaha.

 

Thirumalai Vinjamoor Venkatesh Dasan.
