Guest guest Posted May 16, 2000 Report Share Posted May 16, 2000 krishNa bhaktas, All of us are deeply saddened by the demise of sri phalimaru swamiji. As many of the writers had described, he represented the best in our tradition and in humanity in scholarship, spirituality, devotion, kindness, and compassion. He has shown by example, the kind of spiritual level, a person can raise to in this world. It might be possible that (as others have said) the lofty levels attained by him are possible because he was a " devAmsha sambhuta " ; but it is goal for all of us to aspire to. VMS directors will be sending a letter to sri pejawar swamiji expressing our sadness. The letter is reproduced below. Regards, Vasu Murthy ==========-===================-====================-================= Sri Vishwesha Theertha Swamiji, Sri PejAwara MaTha, Udupi On behalf of the devotees of Vishwa Madhva Sangha, we would like to offer our humble sAshtAnga namaskAragaLu to your Holiness. All of us are extremely saddened to learn the passing away of Sri Sri VidyAmAnya Theertha Swamiji of Phalimaru MaTha. MAdhva and Hindu communities have lost a veritable giant of mAdhva and Indian philosophy, one of the most spiritual and humble persons on the earth. His holiness was a beacon of spirituality, kindness and devotion. We were all inspired by his many lectures, discourses, his sharp intellect and his tireless efforts to teach his devotees. MAdhva and Hindu communities have been orphaned by his demise. The best way to honor his memory will be to rededicate ourselves to lead the life of devotion and service to Sri Hari as specified by Sri MadhvAcharya. Humble sAshtAnga namaskAragaLu to your Holiness again, Directors of VishwamAdhva Sangha -- ================================= Vasu Murthy vmurthy ================================== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
