SrimathE RaamAnujAya nama:

 

Dear Srimans Ananad and Hari:

 

I am delighted to welcome your valued inputs

in the spirit of kaimkaryam of sharing the beautiful

insights of Sri PerukkAraNai Swamy built upon

the foundations of PoorvAchAryAs in general and

Abhinava Desika Sri UtthamUr Swamy in particular.

 

Please continue to share your views to clarify, amplify

the brief references to complex subjects written

under time pressure and also space pressure.

 

adiyEn had made a promise to some of the supporters of

the ThiruppAvai monograph release project (back in

October,2000)that adiyEn will translate excerpts from this

GodhA SudhAsvAdham for the benefit of BhakthAs,

whose mother tongue is not Tamil as well as

for those , who speak Tamil , but can not read

Tamil as a result of growing outside Tamizh Naadu.

That is the reasoning behind my humble postings.

Although adiyEn strives to write in a simple ,

easy-to-understand manner , there are times , the depth

of meanings behind the commentaries will require

brief references to lofty doctrines unique to our

siddhAntham. adiyEn requests your bearing with me.

The subject is too deep and my understanding is meager.

ANDAL will accept this samarpaNam done with humility.

 

Hopefully , these postings will also be useful

to those BhakthAs , who wish to quench their

thirst for the nectar of ANDAL's Sri Sookthis

not only in Marghazhi month but also throughout

the year and in all days of their lives on this earth

(Rangam/LeelA VibhUthi) of our Dhivya dampathis

of Srirangam . Hopefully, these postings celebrating

Bhagaavth-AchArya -Bhaagavatha Bhakthi will induce

those , who have not carried out their Prapatthi at

the sacred feet of a sadAchAryan to hasten to complete

this " life-giving " anushtAnam and have their loads

lightened .
