Mukkoor swami

[Guest guest]

Bhaktas:

Adiyen,Srinivasa Sarangan, joined the Bhakti group

last October.It has been a great experience

in knowing so many aspects of Vaishnavism from

several learned scholars. I only wish I had joined

the

group much earlier.

It was indeed a shocking news to hear about the

passing away of Sri Mukkoor swamiji. I have heard

a

lot about him and read some of his articles in Sr

Nrisimha Priya. It was indeed a great privilage

for me and my wife to see the great scholar when

he made an unscheduled visit to Balaji temple

complex here in Nerul,New Mumbai early last month.

The occasion was the Samprokshanam of the

newly-built

Sri Laksmmi Nrisimha temple in the Balaji temple

complex, which incidently is developing fast into

a

magnificent religious centre. The swamiji gave a

discourse on Lord Lakshmi Nrisimha for about an

hour

and the big gathering of devotees was spellbound

by his command over Tamil and Sankrit. The swamiji

 

went into trance at the end of discourse and was

in that state for more than an hour in front of

perumal sannadhi. Many of us felt that Sri

Lakshmi Nrisimhsa Himself had descended over the

new temple to bless the devotees. My wife and I

can never forget the incident. We were looking

forward to some other occasions to listen to his

discourses. Hence the news of the swamiji reaching

 

Acharyan Thiruvadi suddenly last week at Kakinada

is stunning. Strange are the ways of God

and we can only hope and pray that we will

continue to have the blessings of the great soul.

Adiyen,
