Sri Uu Ve VELukkuDi KrishNan

[Guest guest]

Dear fellow bhAgavathas

 

It is truly a matter of great AchArya kaTAkshAm and our mahA bhAgyam

that we will have the opportunity of learning from someone as erudite

as Sri Uu Ve VELukkuDi krishNan on the Bhakti forum. His presence

amongst our midst is a reinforcement of the nirhEtuka krupa of the

lord that our dear nammAzhwaar aptly refers to as vidhi vAyppu (in

kaiyyar sakkarathukkaru maaNikkamE). It cannot be attributed to

anything else.

 

Sri KrishNan's expansive knowledge of our sampradAyam and his

tremendous mastery, nay fluency, with Aazhwaar/AchAryAl aruLiccheyals

as well as an incredible ability to communicate (the vaagvaibhavam

that is unique to our Acharyas) cannot be overstated. It is truly a

pleasure to listen to his upanyasams. While it is not surprising

that (in listening to Sri KrishNan's upanyasam's on tiruppavai,

thirumAlai, acharya hrudayam etc) one born into such illustrious

antecedents (After all, Sri Uu Ve VELukkuDI varadachar swamy is a

legend) can only be so talented, it is both heart-warming and

uplifting to come into contact with such divine and inspired

outpourings of gnyAnam and bhakti.

 

This auspicious association can only be characterized in terms

equivalent to that Sri Parasara bhattar in Sri Ranga rAja stavam

refers to as "sambhandhAth swaathma laabhaha".
