Fwd: A question on Swami Desikan's biography

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

>turn out creative output shifted to a lower gear?

 

Interesting question. Although it appears he did not compose (m)any openly,

I guess he probably continued his works secretly to avoid unnecessary

attention from the marauding Muslim forces. Sri AbheetiSthavam might be just

one such.

 

Therefore, my take is it was a tactical decision by Swami Desikan to

temporarily limit 'publishing' and maintain a low profile, while

contemplating/researching for his later works, planning for setting- up Sri

ParaKala Matam, bringing up Sri Sudarasana Suri's sons, etc.

 

Respectfully,

Sriram
