Guest guest Posted August 3, 2001 Report Share Posted August 3, 2001 Dear BhakthAs : Srivaikunta Vaasi Sri Srirama DesikAcchAr's centenary celebration is planned for Aug 15-16 . AdiyEn received an invitation to participate in the festivities from my dear friend and Classmate , Sri V.N.Gopala Desikan of Oppiliappan Koil yesterday. Sri Srirama DesikAcchAr Swamy , His Father NavanItham KrishNamAcchAr Swamy and thge other members of this illustrious family , Dr.V.N.VedAntha Desikan , Sri V.N.Gopala Desikan have and are contributing immensely to enrich our dearest SampradhAyam . Sri Srirama DesikAcchAr Swamy has been my MaanasIka Guru from my childhood .His simplicity , prolific creativity , depth of knowledge about Sri Bahgavath RaamAnuja Darsanam are legendary . One point that I want to bring to your attention is that he was born when Punarvasu Nakshathram was in ascendance on that Aadi day in the year 1901 CE and hence he was named Srirama Desikan . He has been a true Desikan for all of us . Sri Srirama DesikAcchAr Swamy named his son Sri GopAla Desikan and gave him the nick name of KaNNan , because of his devotion to Swamy NammAzhwAr and his veneration of KaNNan.Sri Gopala Desikan is carrying on the magnificient traditon of his family thru his pravachanams , AchAryakathvam and publications in Sri Nrusimha PriyA ( Swamy NammAzhwAr ThiruvAimozhi and SatakOpan anthAdhi of Kambha NaatAzhwAr). On this day of Swamy AlavandhAr 's Thirunakshathram , let us give our grateful thanks for the blessings of such great AchAryAs like Sri Srirama DesikAcchAr Swamy . Oppiliappan Koil VaradAchAri SatakOpan ..
