Sri.U.Ve Karapankadu Swami Part 18 : PARAMAPATHA VAASAM

[Guest guest]

sri:

PARAMAPATHA

VAASAM

Due to Kali’s

vengeance, Swami’s second son-in-law reached Acharyan’s thiruvadi on the

last day of the Sashtyapthapoorthi celebrations. This unfortunate

incident was a big blow to Swami. After this, Swami started facing

various difficulties in his life.

Inspite of all this, Swami stood firm. His radiance of knowledge

never dwindled. Even though Swami is a very tender hearted person, he had

a will power of iron. He never wilted under sorrow or pain. His heart

withstood everything and surged ahead. However, Swami’s thirumeni could

not handle the stress. Disabilities started overtaking our Swami and over

a period of five to six years, his health deteriorated greatly. Even then

he did not give up his practices. With extreme difficulties he still gave

kalapshepams. Swami took grantha kalapshepam as the medicine for his

illness. He used to conduct Geetha Bhashyam and Sri Bhashyam lectures in

his own thirumalikaai even during his last days.

Swami’s son Ramanujan stayed near him all the time. Swami’s devigal, in

spite of her own illness attended to Swami’s needs. Dr. Rama Iyengar of

Bangalore left his practices and stayed in Mylapore to take care of our

Swami. However, our Swami lost his mobility and was bed-ridden. On

07/08/1971, Saturday morning 4.30 a.m. our Swami reached Acharyan

thiruvadi.

The

sun of knowledge settled in the depths of ocean. A great soul of gnana,

bhakti and vairagyam left this world to continue kainkaryam to Divya

Dhampathis along with all the Acharyans and Nithyasooris in Paramapadam.

Let us all remember the glories of our Swami and strive to realize his

dreams.
