Srimathe Gopaaladesika Mahaadesikaaya Namaha

 

Dear Sri.Madhavakannan & Sri.Anbil Swamin,

In your reference to our Acharya

Sri.Gopaaladesikar Swami, you had mentioned his compassion in limiting our

Dhandasamarpanam to our capability, during Baranyaasam as well as Swami's

kindness in hastening us to take food, inspite of the great Mahaan himself

remaining hungry to complete Maadyanika Snanam, Maadyanikam, Bhikshai

Saathithal etc, we witnessed exactly the same during our Prapatthi with

this great Acharya.

 

In fact after our Baranyaasam was over(11.30am), I finished Maadyanikam and

we all happily ate, the great food Thaathu maama and family had served us.

I was under the impression, the Swamin is eating seperately, when I heard

that food had to be made seperately for him(Sanyaasi's regulations) and he

has his own course and it would take upto 2pm before Swami touches the

first grain of food.

 

Swami's Vairaghyaa taught me one great lesson, our body may age and falter,

but our strength at heart(will) has to be strong which can overtake the

bodily limitations. To this day I have not felt any pain, in not eating

Para-Annam or doing the Trikaala Sandhya Vandanam, merely emulating a millionth

of our Acharyaas footsteps.

 

His compassion to his sishyaa's is boundless, that he was sleepless

in not hearing from us of our return from Sethu, as well as his warm

enquiries of others who are here.

 

We should celebrate our Acharya's Thirunakshathiram in a good manner,

truly befitting the Kalyaana Gunaas of our Great Acharya. Swamis should

champion this, and involve all his disciples rightaway.

 

By this posting I request Sri Gopaala Desikan Swami Abhimaani's

forward their name, email & other contact information to

Sri.Madhavakannan(srivaishnavan), so that we can coordinate

this great Acharya's Thirunakshthiram celebrations in an elegant manner.

 

Sri Gopaala desikan thiruvadigalae charanam!

 

Adiyen Raamanuja Daasan,
