Fw: E-journal "Purna-kumbha"

[Guest guest]

Dear BhakthAs : For your Information & Follow Up.

Dear members of the group,

 

Please go thro' the forwarded mail of Sri Sadagopan Swamy about the

availability of the e-journal “Purna-kumbha”, released by HH

Rangapriya Swamigal, on the occasion of the centenary celebrations of

Sri U.Ve, Parankushacharya, the revered father of Veda Varidhi, U.Ve.

Dr. P.Ramanujan, the asthana vidvan of Ahobila Mutt.

 

Dr. Ramanujan doesn’t need any introduction. When sage Valmiki asked

Naradar, “kOnvasmin sAmprataM lokE guNavAn kashcha vIryavAn

dharmajnashcha krtajnashcha satyavakyOdrDhavrata: ……”, the answer

then, was “ RAMA”. Same way, if anyone were to question as, “is there

anyone, who is an authority in the field of Vedas, vedangas etc etc?

who is a master of divyaprabandhams, a doyen in the field of

dharmashastras? a strict follower of Vaidika anushThanams ? a kind

guru who takes pleasure in teaching his disciples any time without

bothering about his own convenience? an unparalleled scholar of

Sanskrit,Tamil etc? and many more like this, THE ANSWER WOULD BE

“Sri. RAMANUJAN”.

 

There is a slokam in Kalidasa's Raghuvamsha mahakavyam, which talks

about the greatness of King Dilipa, as the one who attained

vrddhatava (old age) in his youth, thro' his limitless knowledge,

being unperturbed by the worldly pleasures and always indulging in

dharma, "anArkshTasya vishayai: vidyAnAm pAradrshvana: tasya

dharmaratE: asIt ""vrddhatvam jarasA vinA"". The same applies to Dr

Ramanujan also.

In a nutshell, it is not at all an exaggeration, if I say, like Swamy

Vedanta Deshika, Dr Ramanujan is a doyen in all fields. He is

blessing the people of Bangalore thro’ his unparalleled kalakshepams,

while also contributing extensively to our sampradayam in many ways

including thro'CDAC, where he is heading a division.

This souvenir “Purna-kumbha” is a collection of beautiful articles by

the greatest scholars of the day, including the current day Srikaryam

swamins and asthana vidvans, vidvans like Dr NSA, Vidvan Ramanuja

Tatacharya, Vidvan K.S.Varadacharya and many others. Dr Ramanujan’s

foreword speaks the contents of this. Those who wish to acquire a

copy of this may do so by paying an amount of US $ 5 online and get

this as an email attachment.

 

Many thanks to Sriman Sadagopan swamy and Sri Sriram for their help in

getting this uploaded and making available online.

 

For more details, please read the forwarded mail of Sri Sadagopan swamy.

 

Pranamams,

Ramanuja dasi,
