Dear Bagavathas

Sri. Mani wrote in his brilliant Bio-graphy of our Swamy Desikan

 

'With the invasion of the temple came the need for Desika himself to

leave Srirangam, so he took his family and the sons of Sudarsana Suri

and headed northwest, settling down first in Satyamangalam, in present

day Karnataka'

 

 

It is Indeed a n Unique Experince for me when adiyen With Sri Vidwan U Ve

Thirunagai Veera raghavachar Swamy of Madras visited the Place Sathya

Kalam (Shakthimangalam) near Kollegalam of Mysore Dt. on 26th sep1999. on

the upper reaches of River Cauveri. This the Place where our Swamy has

settled down along with his family and the 2 sons of Sri Sudarsana Suri.and

other bagavathas.

 

Our swamy Performed Pancha samaskaras to Sri Sudrasana Suri's Kumaras and

edited the Srutha Prakasikai , the commentary on sri Bhashya. Also the

stotra Abheedistava was composed here for the restoration of Nithyya

Aradhana of lord Sri Ranganatha at srirangam.

 

The Unique Sri koormasanam naturally formed in granite on which Our

Swamy sat and performed his Nithyanushtanams on the Banks of Cauveri is

still preserved and the sme has been installed in Desikar sannidhi. for

posterity.This is the place where Swamy Desikan 's Archa Vigraham is in a

standing posture.

 

Sri Vara dar Sannidhi installed and worshipped by our swamy during his

sojourn here is in utter despair and in crying need of Maintanance. When

Adiyen along with Vidwan Swamy visited the site no one was around and we

took the temple keys from the local Shepherd (doubling up as watchman)

and had darshan of the divya Mangala vigraham of our Swamy.We recited the

Abheedistavam and Vidwan Swamy Narated the events from Sri Desikan's life

connected with this Place. and we had the sri paduka theertham of our Swamy

Desikan

 

It is my humble request that all our Desikan Bhakthas must visit this

Unique place during their visit to Karnataka and do our best to preserve it

for future generations. Visitors may contact the Archagar at Sri

Madhyarangam temple in Shivanna samudram village for any assistance for

their visit .
