Vedic scholars honoured

 

 

SIX candidates who participated in the annual Sadas held by Sri

Poundarikapuram Swami Asramam at Srirangam have been conferred the

title ``Vipaschinmani''.

 

At the `sadas' aspects of Sri Bhashya are discussed.

 

This activity was the one dearest to the heart of Sri Ramanuja, who

when he was on his death bed specifically gave as the first of his

famous five mandates to his disciples some nine centuries back.

 

Sri A.V. Gopalacharyar, veteran scholar and the doyen of the Tiruchi

Bar started it in 1935. He called it `Sri Srinivasa Mahahdesikan

Vidwat-Sadas'.

 

The present Pontiff of the Asramam, Sri Gopaladesika Mahadesikan (Sri

Paravakkottai Andavan), thought it appropriate to institute a special

award of a title `Vipaschinmani' (meaning a gem of a scholar who

possesses special perception in Vedantic knowledge).

 

The six candidates, who were conferred the title and awarded a medal,

a scroll and a cash purse this year at the sadas held from July 29 to

August 4 are: Prof E. Devanathacharya (Tirupati), Dr. E.

Govindacharya (Tirupati), Dr. N.R. Kannan, Principal (Guruvayur), Dr.

T.S.R. Narayanacharya (Tirupati), Dr. N.R. Srinivasan, Professor and

Dean of Sanskrit Studies (Varanasi) and Dr. V. Vasudevan, Professor

(Thiruvananthapuram).
