Tiruvenkatamudiyan Avathara Nakshatram also HH Swami Desikan

[Guest guest]

Dear Sriman Srinivasan :

 

Ghantaa MaNi is a very unusual name

that was given by the great Scholar ,

Vaikunta Vaasi Sri Seva SwamigaL

to His son out of His matchless reverence

for Swamy Sri Desikan ( 1268-1369 C.E) .

 

Ghantaa MaNi stands for the temple (hand) bell

of Lord SrinivAsan's sannidhi at Thirumala.

Swamy Sri Desikan is considered as a sacred

avathAram of that bell to chase away

inauspiciousness and spread the Bhagavad

RaamAnuja SiddhAntham .

 

Even today , there is no hand bell inside

the sannidhi of Thiruvenkadamudayan

for that reason . There are two huge bells

outside the sannidhi near the dhvAra Paalakaas .

 

Ghantaa means bell . MaNi means also a bell

( MaNi ringing during Bhagavad AarAdhanam) .

Ghantaa is also the name of a very beautiful

Raagam in Carnatic Music . Mani also

means a precious gem . Ghantaa MaNi

thus means the precious bell linked to

the avathAram of Swamy Sri Desikan .

The auspicious sounds emanting from

that bell chased away false doctrines and

established the unassailable Vedantic

Doctrines on a sound footing for all of

our benefits .

 

The 56th ebook is a powerpoint presentation on

Swamy Sri Desikan's avathAram as the amsam of

the temple bell of the Lord of Thirumala and His

divine works . Please refer to this ebook for

a pictorial representation of Swamy Sri Desikan's

Glories :

Extensive coverage of Swamy Sri Desikan's stOtrams

and Philosophical works are covered in English

in other ebooks of the above Sundarasimham

series and two more series of ebooks :

A Major Web site on Swamy SrI Desikan

will also be announced on Oct 9 by Sri Sridhar

of Bangalore to celebrate this Year's

Birth day ( Thiru Nakshatram) of Swamy Sri Desikan .

My dear friend Sridhar is also the author of

Chitra Desikeekeeyam , the Power Point

Presentation of the Life of Sawmy Desikan .

 

Our humble prostrations at the sacred

feet of the incarnation of the divine bell

of the Lord of Saptha Giri !
