Sri Koorathazhvan

[Guest guest]

Dear Smt. Praveena and Sri. Anand:

 

Thanks to both of you for a wonderful summary of Swami

KooratthAzhwAn (SrivatsAnka miSrar)'s life. I have also

had the bhAgyam of listening to the two upanyAsam tapes

by Velukkudi Krishnan Swami - every time I do, my eyes

brim with tears... especially the part where Sri. Velukkudi

Krishnan mentions that:

 

"vEdham enRa peNNukku --

 

vEdaanta vEdangangaL ellaam aabharaNangaL thaan,

Itihaasa puraaNa SaaStramellAm aabharaNangaL thaan,

AzhwAr aruLiccheydha divya prabandham ellAm AbharaNangaL thAn,

AchAryaLudaya vyAkhyAna stOtrangaLellAm AbharaNangaL thAn,

----

aanaal, vEdham enRa sthreenudaya kazhutthukku kattuva

thirumAngalya AbharaNam vandhu --

 

swaami kooratthAzhwAn udaya Sri sookthigaL than !!!"

 

Sorry if the above rendering is not accurate; I am just writing

from memory. I will appreciate it very much if you can help

me locate the TEXT of these panchastavams either in

Sanskrit font (preferably) or in Tamil. If not, I will be most

willing to reimburse costs to anyone who can mail me a copy

to my home address:

 

530 Buckingham Rd. # 1126

Richardson TX 75081 U.S.A.

 

Truly,

-Srinath C.
