Respected Bhagavatals,

 

adiyEn's namaskarams to all the learned Bhagavatals of this group. It is

indeed some great Purva Janma Punya which has got me into the group of such

distinguished and learned Bhagavatals. Special thanks are due to Sriman

Madhava Kannan and Smt. Praveena for introducing me into the group and to

Sriman Deelepan for considering an useless person like me fit enough to join

the august group.

As a brief introduction, adiyEn was born in Mysore on 09.08.1958 to Smt.

Sharada and Late Srinivasa Iyengar. That day happened to be Rohini

Nakshatram, Astami Thiti when the whole world celebrates the birth of our

Lord Kutti Kannan and hence adiyEn was named as Ananthakrishna. We belong to

Hebbar Srivaishnava community with most of our relatives settled in

Karnataka. I do not know much about our ancestors or how they settled down

in Karnataka except that our Kula Devata is Yoga Narasimha at a place called

Shanti Grama near Hassan in Karnataka.

Presently I work in Jakarta, Indonesia where there are around 20

Srivaishnava families. My wife, Hiranmayi and our two children have been

living here since 12 years.

adiyEn had the bhagyam of having samshrayanam done by HH the 44th Jeer of

Ahobila Matham, SrIvaN SaThakOpa SrivEdhaantha DhEsika yatheendra

mahadEsikan several years ago at Bangalore and recently Sharanagathi under

HH the 45th Jeer of Ahobila Matham,SrI Lakshminrusimha divya pAdukA sEvaka

SrIvaN SaThakOpa - SrI nArAyaNa yateendra mahAdESikAn at Alwar Thirunagari.

The great joy was to be introduced to HH by one of the shisyals as a friend

of Sriman Dileepan simply because of having browsed the Ahobila Madam page

to see Jeeyar's tour program and immediatly thereafter to receive a mail

from Sriman Madhava Kannan introducing me to Sriman Dileepan and to the net

membership!!.

So adiyEn considers the membership to this net as a divine sankalpam to

educate this ignorant person. Even though adiyEn cannot contribute anything

useful to the group, the postings are thoroughly enjoyed by me. The recent

serial on A day in Sri Sannithi is so enjoyable that it is like a slow

motion video of the day spent at Alwar Thirunagari during adiyEn's last

trip.
