adiyEn was fortunate to be there during the release.

 

SrI PuriSai swAmi, the dowhitra of SrImad InjimEttu

Azhagiyasingar and the editor of SrI Nrusimha Priya

Magazine released it and spoke about this excellent

work by SrI PerukkAranai swAmi (SPS). SrI SEva -

SrInivAsarAghavAchArya swAmi while praising this new and

valuable contribution, conferred the title " abhinava SudarSana

Bhattar " to SPS. This was because, while learning from SrImad

InjimEttu Azhagiyasingar, SPS recorded the daily kAlakshEbam

as notes and wrote them in an organized manner by referring to

many other source books as well during each night. It was well

appreciated by SrImad InjimEttu Azhagiyasingar as SPS would read

them out the next day. Similarly, the next H.H.Jeeyar SrImad

DEvanArviLAgam Azhagiyasingar also was very happy listening

to this entire manuscript. We know that, SrI SudarSana Bhattar

wrote SrutaprakASika by recording the kAlakshEbams of SrI

NadAdUr ammAL.

 

 

SPS then developed the manuscript by adding some more

new arguments and insightful informations. It has now

come out in an excellent form.

 

SrI PayyambAdi VEnkatavaradAchArya (disciple of UttamUr

SwAmi) recalled the way SrI KOzhiyAlam swAmi praised the

efforts of his own disciple SrI abhinava dESika UttamUr

SwAmi, through the publications under the banner " Ubhaya

VEdAnta GranthamAla " . SrI PayyambAdi swAmi then praised

the efforts of SPS and said that those words of SrI

KOzhiyAlam swAmi (a sanskrit verse) is also applicable to

SPS who has undertaken this very important publication.

 

SrI VillUr KarunAkaran swAmi lauded this commentary to be

an excellent addition to the sampradAya literature. In a

brief glance through the commentary (while he was in the

dias), SrI KarunAkaran swAmi(SKS) read the portion on

" apahata pApma " vichAra by SPS. SKS lauded that such an

in depth analysis on that issue, if were written in either

English Or tamil will by itself yield a Ph.D. degree in the

academic circles. SKS also remarked about the valuable

information in the commentary by way of explaining the

salient features of SrutaprakASika and references to

SrI BhAshyArtha Darpanam of SrI UttamUr SwAmi.

 

 

SrI MannArgudi RAjagOpAlAchArya said that the release of

this lucid and excellent commentary is certainly an " Historical

Event " . After a brief glance over the commentary, SrI MannArgudi

SwAmi was praising in many ways SPS has made intellectual

arguments in certain issues. He particularly stressed and praised

SPS's expertise in NyAya SAstra and the ability to perform

" tarka " (logical arguments). By the way, SPS was well trained

in NyAya SAstra by none other than the undisputed giant of that

field viz. SrI abhinava dESika UttamUr VeerarAghavAchArya

SwAmi.

 

Few days later, in a private conversation, SrI MannArgudi SwAmi

(SMS) told me that, this commentary is an outstanding addition

to our Philosophy. The main feature of the commentary is the

lucid way in which many difficult passages/texts of esp.

SrutaprakASika are explained in a very simple sanskrit. He

remarked that, this commentary might as well be used in

kAlakshEpas henceforth due to its clarity by explaining the

difficult concepts in a very simple sanskrit, apart from

giving the salient features of previous commentaries.

Please don't miss this oppurtunity. Its certainly a very

valuable addition. Please do send your commitments to

SrI Dileepan.

 

By the way, SrI PerukkAranai SwAmi is in the process of

publishing the second (and final) volume of his commentary.

Please do contribute towards it, by sending a cheque in

favour of " P.M.Chakravarthi " and send it to :

 

Sri Desika Bhavanam,

27, Venkatesa Agraharam,

Mylapore, Chennai 600-004.

India.

 

SPS is also publishing an excellent commentary on ThiruppAvai.

It will get published within a month. It is also an outstanding

work in very simple tamil running to more than 550 pages. Even

the padavurai for swApadEsams are given. More on it later when

it gets published.

 

Thus, even if you are not highly motivated to have a " Sanskrit "

book, however great the contents might be, please do send your

contributions to SrI PerukkAranai swAmi in recognition of his

great service to SrI Bhagavad RAmAnuja DarSana. Thanks.
