Question on biographical details of Swami Venkatanathan

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

 

I would be grateful if anyone could please throw some light on a

little known detail about Swami Desikan's life.

 

When Swamy left SriRangam to escape the occupation/invasion of the

Ghazni marauders, it is known that he lived quietly for over a decade

in the village of Satyaakaalam (near Melkote, Karnataka).

 

Did Swami's 'dharma-patni' and 'tirukumArar' also live with him in

Satyaakaalam during that period or did they live in Thoopul? If Swami

was living alone in Satyaakaalam, is there any historical account of

his days there -- where he lived, what was his daily regimen, who

looked after him etc.?

 

Will be grateful for any references to extant biographical works

also.

 

Thanks and regards,

 

dAsan,

Sudarshan
