Loss of great mAhAns of our time

[Guest guest]

Dear bAgawathAs,

 

adiyEn is saddened by the news that our great mAhAn Sri sEva sWami

have attained thirunAdu. Sri sEva swami and his service to swami

desika darsanam has no parallel and comparison in this century.

He has never sought for any reward or recognition for himself

and was serving Swami desikan with an eternal interest. It is very

important and great to note that though many vyAkyAnams can be

written by one or the other. But only a few can write vyAkyAnams

that even a sAmANyAL and a child can understand. This is a divine

ability Sri sEva swAmi possessed and his granthams are unique and

can never be compared with any. That shows his deep desire to

reach out everyone and spread swami desikan darshanam. " thAn

Arinthathai thAN unArntha padiyE sonnAr " .

 

Sri Villivalam SrInidhi SwAmi and his excellent commentaries and

granthams are a great treasure to us. His wonderful grantham on

Sri BoomidEvi thAyar of Oppiliappan sannithi is remarkable and

brilliant. His love for Sri Oppiliappan boomidEvi thAyar is

something that we all may want to follow and learn from. As a

fellow Oppiliappan and BoomidEvi thAyAr bhakthA adiyEN and other

Oppiliappan bhakthAs will miss this swAmis blessings through his

divine granthams and upanyAsams. We will definitely miss this

mahan. adiyEn has family relationship with this mAhAn and heard

this news yesterday. It was very shocking. These two mahans are

like two eyes of our present sampradhayam. They were providing the

key insights of our desikan sampradAyam through their divine

abilities. We were actually cherishing our samprAdAyam through the

divine eyes they gave us through their granthams. It is as if we

all lost our sight and left in darkness.

 

Finally the thunder came down on our head (thalaiyil idi

vizhunthathu pOl irunthathu) when we heard of Sri Mukkur Lakshmi

nrusimhAchAriar as well. adiyEN longed to meet this mAhAn and

receive his blessings during adiyEn's planned trip to India this

summer. Now, how will I ever see him ? As said by Sri Anand, we

should not wait around to see these great mAhAns of our times. Let

us plan on serving them in whatever way without waiting for long.

For all of us in Srivaishanava sampradhAyam, the passing away

of Sri Mukkur Yagna rAja sWamy is as similar to how one of the

main pillar has fallen. It is as if the entire sampradhAyam has

been shaken hard due to this fall. His simplicity with which he

was available to everyone and the depth with which he was doing

yAgnA in such a great detail was matchless. By doing so he took

our sampradhAyam to great new heights and many came to know of

the important principles of Srivaishnavam. His long service to

Srisannithi can never be forgotten. His loss indeed is a loss that

struck deep and wounded our souls. His " kuRai onRum illai " will

live for several centuries to come.

 

These are all losses that can never be replaced.
