Completion of Sri Padhuka Sahasram Kaimkaryam

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

 

It gives adiyen immense pleasure to complete the Padhuka Sahasram

summary on

this most auspicious day-the Tirunakshatram of Swami Desikan and

Lord

Srinivasa. This kaimkaryam began more than 5 years ago on the

Tirunakshatram

of ChakrathAzhwar in 1999 and has reached successful completion only

on

account of the boundless compassion and munificent grace of the

Padhukas,

Swami Desikan, and Our Acharyas. A number of Bhagavatas wrote

supportive

notes and offered words of encouragement during the course of this

Kaimkaryam. Adiyen specifically wishes to acknowledge the support of

Srimans

Sadagopan Iyengar Swamin, Anbil Ramaswamy Swamin, Anand Karalapakkam

Swamin,

M.S. Hari Swamin, Mukundan Swamin, Madhavakkannan Swamin, Srinath

Chakravarthy Swamin, Jaganath Bharadwaj Swamin, Sampath Rengarajan

Swamin,

Shyam Sreenivasan Swamin, Poondi Vijayaraghavan Swamin, Venkat

Kanumalla

Swamin, Murali Tirumalai Swamin, G.V. Prasad Swamin, Sunder Kidambi

Swamin, Mani Varadarajan, Malolan Cadambi,

and Chakrapani Swamin.

 

A special note of thanks is due to Sriman V. Sadagopan Swamin, who

worked

tirelessly to add succinct summaries from the exhaustive source

commentaries

of Mahavidwan U.Ve. Uttamoor Veeraraghavachariar Swamin and Srimad

Periya

Andavan Ashramam as well as a brief note on the fine points of each

verse

from his own extensive knowledge of Sanskrit.

 

A number of errors occured during the course of the Kaimkaryam on

adiyen's

part. However, as Swami Desikan fittingly describes it, "the

melodious

sounds of the Padhukas and the dazzling sight of their inlaid gems

masked

all the shortcomings (and made the offering acceptable to Bhagavatas

from

around the globe)".

 

Adiyen dedicates this aNil Sevai to the gem bedecked Padhukas, and

the

Lotus

Feet of Swami Desikan and asmadhAcharyan.
