Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Dear Bhagavatas: After posting the above issue, I noticed a couple of omissions in the Report on my trip to India. 1. I requested Sri Sadagopan Iyengar Swami, Srikaryam Swami of SDDS to bless me with his company for Saatrumurai Darsanam at Tirumalai. In deference to my request, in spite of his busy schedule, he came all the way from Coimbatore and arrived around 3.30 am at Tirumalai to be right in time for the Sevai. Because it was still dark, he had an accidental fall in the ditches excavated in front of the main Gopuram and had a sprained foot. Despite this he stayed on for the Seva and hurriedly left for home immediately thereafter. 2. Another omission was my attending a marriage at T.Nagar during my extended stay on 18th August 2005. What is so special about attending a marriage? And, it is this: The wedding was for the grand daughter of Sri A. Rangarajan, my colleague in Loyola College, Madras. He was a Co-editor with me in the Manuscript magazine called "KalaivaaNi" that we were running during our College days way back in 1940s Sri Nadodi, the famous Journalist of the time was the President of Tamilnadu Manuscript Magazine Editors of which we were members.We were also running a Social service youth organization called "Mambalam Forum" for several years conducting free Hindi Classes with the help of Sri Bahukudumbi Srinivasaraghavan, (who passed IAS and was serving in United Nations) and also Free Adult education classes for the rural poor with the active help of Sri Sundaravadivelu, (who was then Educational Officer of Corporation of Madras and later became Education Secretary of Tamilnadu Govt.) This is not all. Not only did I attend the marriage of this Sri A. Rangarajan but also the marriage of his son Gopi with the daughter of another colleague of mine in the Office (Sri Kannan) and now his granddaughter witnessing the weddings of three generations in a row! A kind of hat trick, this? Dasoham Anbil Ramaswamy ========================================================== .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
