Thiruppavai Meanings series :: Acknowledgements

[Guest guest]

Respected bAgavathAs,

 

It was by the causeless mercy of Srirangam dhivyadhampathis that

aDiyEn got to write this small piece of work on thiruppAvai, which is

considered the essence of all vEdhAs. AdiyEn would love to mention

that if at all the readers see something good or interesting in it, it

is through my kAlakshEba AchAryan, Sri. U.Ve. K.B. Devarajan swAmis

krupai. Swami with all His patience helped me learn a little about the

commentaries on AndAL's thiruppAvai. I owe Him my life and more.

 

The credit also goes to Sri. Murali Bhattar swami, the chief priest of

Srirangam Periya Koil, who has inspired me by his simple style of

writing and also encouraged me by publishing this thiruppAvai series

on his website sriranga pankajam. It was actually for this swami that

I started writing.

 

I should definitely thank Sri. VAnamAmalai PadhmanAbhan swAmi, who

amidst all his busy schedule, read through the lines and helped me

correct my mistakes then and there. I bow to his concern and vast

knowledge particularly on the commentaries of our poorvAchAryA's.

 

To all those great srivaishnavAs who published this in their

groups and orkut communities, I am always in debt. Last but not the

least to all the readers, you encouraged me to continue and keep

moving through all the thirty pAsurams.

 

Let NamperumAL, by His causeless mercy bless us all with service at

His divine feet.

 

aDiyEn,

azhagiya maNavALa rAmAnuja dAsan

Madhusudhanan.
