A Grand New Web site for Thooppul (AvathAra Sthalam ofSwamy Desikan ) by SrI L.Sridhar

SrI:Today is the sacred day of SravaNam , SrI VishNu Nakshathradinam . The auspicious Yogam today is Siidha and Subha yOgams .At Oppiliappan Sannidhi , the SravaNa dheepam was lit and takenaround the PrAkArams to the accompaniment of MangaLa Vaadhyams ;anna dhAnam for sEvArthees was completed .On this auspicious day , it gives me great pleasure to announce the release of one of the most beautiful web site that I have seenfor Swamy Desikan . Emphasis in this web site is on the avathAra Sthalam of Swamy Desikan (viz)., ThUppul , an agrahAram not far from Lord VaradarAjan's temple at Kaanchipuram .Swamy Deikan was born here on 1268 C.E some 736 years ago.SrI L.Sridhar , the talented web site designer from Bangalore has designed this beautiful web site , which is a must to see for all SrI VaishNavAs . Sri Sridhar has already created number ofinformative and lovely web sites for KarnAtaka Vishnavite temples (Sathyagalam , DoddanallUr et al). He is busy designing another beautiful web site for Melkote , where AchArya RaamAnuja spent12 years of HIs life worshipping ThirunArAyaNa PerumAL and Yadhugiri NaacchiyAr . Melkote also happens to be the avathArasthalam of Sri Adhi VaNN SaThakOpa Jeeyar , the first Jeeyar ofAhobila Matam , who was initiated into SanyAsa Aasramam byLord Lakshmi Narasimhan Himself .Now coming back to the Thooppul web site createdby SrI Sridharand announced on this SravaNam day , the URL is:http://www.thooppul.comPlease enjoy these web pages , which have the following 12 sections :1.
