Dear BhakthAs:

 

It is very good news indeed to learn about the release of

one of the five great Sthavams of Swamy KUrEsar on

His forthcoming Thirunakshathram by Dr.NSA Swamy of

Bangalore .

 

The extraordinary kaimkaryam of Dr.N.S. AnanatharangAchArya Swamy

is a very special one. With vigor and devotion , Swamy has blessed

us with monographs without let so that we can gain an understanding of

the great SrI Sookthis of our PoorvAchAryALs , Veda Manthrams,

NaalAyira Dhivya prabhandham et al. Wish I could read Kannada

to benefit from the comprehensive set of Monographs of Dr.NSA .

As always, this new release would contain marvellous insights

into the purport of this Grantham of KurEsar and will benefit

the followers of Bhagavath RaamAnuja Darsanam immensely .

 

While speaking about "SrI Vaikunta Sthavam " of KUrEsar,

I wish to invite the attention of BhakthAs to another

kaimakryam that Dr.NSA is engaged in . Thanks to the efforts

of Sriman Krishna Kasyap of San Diego and Srimathi Nagu Satyan

of Denver , we are blessed to recieve the Tele-upanyAsam of

Dr.NSA on one of the most important works : SrI SaraNAgathi

Gadhyam of AchArya RaamAnujA . Because of the importance of

the performance of SaraNAgathi in SrI VaishNavite Tradition ,

AchArya RaamAnujA performed Svanishtai Prapatthi in front of

the Dhivya Dampathis of Srirangam on a Panguni Uttharam day ,

when They were together(sErthi sEvai).The Dhivya Dampathis of

SrIrangam accepted Their dear AchAryan's Prapatthi and asked him

to stay at their side in Srirangam until his dEha VyOham and

subsequent ascent to Parama Padham .

 

Srutha PrakAsikAchArya , Periya VaacchAn PiLlai and Swamy

Desikan have written brilliant commentaries on SaraNAgathy

Gadhyam of AchArya RaamAnujA inview of its extraordinary importance

to us. Each of these AchAryAs have provided brilliant

insights into the key words and passages of this Gadhyam.

 

Dr.NSA is giving a series of lectures for BhakthAs using

the Telebridge on these three commentaries and is kind

enough to answer Questions and Answers on the day's

upanyAsam and general matters pertaining to SaraNAgathi.

These lectures are simply brilliant and deeply scholarly.

SrI KrishNa Kaasyap can provide more details for those

who wish to benefit from these upayAsams.

 

Right now, Dr.NSA concluded the Poorva KhaNDam portion

of Dhvaya manthram elaborated in the SaraNAgathy Gadhyam

and is about to begin the Utthara KhaNDam section of

the Dhvaya Manthram . Dr.NSA's upanyAsam is

in English. Please join these most insightful

UpanyAsams on SaraNAgathy Gadhyam and the different

and yet complimentary approaches of the above three

great commentators on this grantham.

 

Oppiliappan Sannadhi is known as ThiruviNNagaram,

Aakasa Nagaram , VyOmapuri or the abode of

Vaikunta Naathan. adiyEn hopes to set up a small

trust to have SaraNAgathy Gadhyam recited on

Panguni Uttharam days at Oppiliappan Koil from

this year on in celebration of Bhagavath RaamAnujA

and His illustrious Sishya Paramparai that includes

KurEsar in the front row. It was SrI KUrEsar that

showed the way for SrI ParAsara Bhattar and Swamy Desikan

to compose many sthOthra granthams .

 

adiyEn will write a brief introductory note on

SrI Vaikunta Sthavam of KurEsar through a separate mail

in rememberance of the release of this important

monograph by Dr.NSA and pray to SrI VaikuntanAthan

to bless Dr.NSA with long life engaged in such

kaimakryams , perfect health and happiness born

out of the sharing of his extraordinary , SampradhAyic

Scholarship in a tireless manner thru grantha

nirmANams and UpanyAsams.
