EDITORIAL:

Dear Bhagavatas:

 

“Athimaanusha Sthavam”- Part 2

 

We continue to cover “Athimaanusha Sthavam” of Koorathaazhwaan

 

As already acknowledged in the Introduction to this series, the writes up on

the Pancha Sthavams (including Athi Maanusha Sthavam) are based on the

scholarly exposition in Tamil by Sri U.Ve. Vidwaan S. PaiyambaaDi Setlur V.

Srivatsaanka charyar Swami in his monumental work “Pancha Sthavam” published

by Sri VisishTaadvaita PrachaariNi Sabha, Mylapore, Chennai during its

Silver Jubilee celebrations in 1986.

 

Most of you will remember my talk on “Athi Maanusha Sthavam” (based on this

work) during the Second Worldwide SrivaishNava Conference organized by Swami

Desika Darsana Satsangam (SDDS) at Pomona 0n 30th August 1997. The present

series is a reiteration of that talk. Though started earlier, the series

could not be continued due to various reasons,. Thanks to the reminders and

encouragement of Bhagavatas, we have resumed the series and this is the

second posting on the Sthavam.

 

Part 1 covering Slokams 1 to 5 appeared in SRS Vol.6.13dated 03/12/05

Part 2 appearing in this issue covers Slokams 6 to 10

 

“VilakshaNa mOkshaadhikaari NirNayam” - part 5

 

The other series, namely, “VilakshaNa mOkshaadhikaari NirNayam” of Sri

Erumbiappa, one of the AshTadig GajangaL of Sri MaNavaaLa Maa MunigaL is

based on the book “VaikunTam pugum MaNNavar yaar?” by Dr. R. Rangarajan M.A

PhD. Madurai, published by AzhwaargaL Amuda Nilayam, Komaleeswaranpet,

Chennai in 1994.

 

This has also been duly acknowledged in the Introduction for this series.

 

This series is also in reiteration of my talk (based on this work) at

Livermore temple, San Jose, California during the ManavaaLa Maa

munigaLTirunakshatram conference on 13th and 14th November 1999 organized by

Sri Mani Varadarajan Swami of the famous Bhakti list, the pioneer in the

world of Internet journalism.

 

The credits for anything correctly stated go to these illustrious authors

and any deficiencies are due to my own lack of understanding and lack of

expression and I crave your indulgence for the same.

 

Hope you will enjoy reading these series and please favor me with your

feedback.
