Mukkur legacy preserved

MUKKUR SRI Lakshminarasimhachariar Swami needs no introduction to Asthikas and

it will be presumptuous to detail the life and achievements of a person who was

a one-man institution and an acknowledged authority on the Ubhaya Vedanta

scriptures and tradition. The devout fraternity is still trying to cope with

the harsh reality that he is not in their midst today. They will find solace in

the rich legacy that he has left behind in the form of the idol of Lord

Lakshminarasimha, which was instrumental in the performance of more than 100

Swati Mahayajnas all over the country, audio-visual recordings of his

inimitable discourses and writings which have been published as books. More

than anything else a dedicated group of devotees has pledged to carry on the

mission had undertaken. Towards this end the Sri Swati Narasimha Maha Yajna

Trust has been instituted by his family and devotees at New No. 34 (Old No.24),

Venkatesan Street, T. Nagar, Chennai-600017. Tel: (044) 4353704 The Trust has

been founded with the main objective of continuing the daily Aradhana of the

Lakshminarasimhan idol and that of other Divyadesa deities he personally

worshipped. It proposes to also publish Mukkur Swamy's works in other

languages, construct a Yajna Vatika at Mattapalli Maha Kshetram, Nalgonda

District, Andhra Pradesh, promote Vedic research and build a library to house

his personal collection of rare books. The Trust solicits support for these

activities. CD-ROM

For the benefit of those who wish to relive their first-hand experiences of the

Swami and his discourses and also for those who may not be familiar with them,

the Trust has brought out a multimedia CD-ROM (PC compatible) entitled Sri

Mukkur Nruhari Hrudayam, which was released on the day of Swathi Nakshatram,

September 20, at Sri Narasimha Swami temple at Sri Mattapalli Maha Kshetram.

(For copies contact by e-mail: vayasya (AT) indiainfo (DOT) com & trust (AT) mukkur (DOT) org) This

CD can be used only in a computer with a CDROM, sound card and speakers and

cannot be viewed in a home VCD system. A Java-enabled web browser, audio player

and PDF reader are the software necessary to use this CD. Within the limitations

of the memory available (700 MB), this CD attempts to encapsulate the lifetime

achievements of Mukkur Swami and hence one hopes will be a precursor to more of

the kind. It contains over 600 minutes of the Swamy's mellifluous voice

glorifying the Lord and His Consort, his Acharya, the Vedic tradition and

preceptors, besides his discourses in Tamil, rendition of Ghanam, Vedas and

some esoteric hymns in Sanskrit and Telugu composed by him spontaneously on

numerous occasions. There are more than 500 photographs vividly capturing his

multifaceted personality besides 100 pages of text that includes the

Sthalapuranam of Mattapalli Kshetram which was the nucleus of the Swami's

multifarious religious activities. Altogether a veritable treasure trove made

available free of cost with the sole intention of sharing Mukkur Swamy's

spiritual legacy with one and all.
