Excerpts from Srimad Azhagiya Singar's upanyaasam -

----------

--

Srimad Azhagiya Singar was extremely delighted to be recieved by a huge

bhagavatha goshti. Srimad Azhagiya Singar started with an invocatory note on

Sri Lakshmi Nrusimhan ( Lakshmi Nrusimha tavapaada ...). He then continued

with a popular shlokam from the works of Sri Madhusudana Sarasvathi. The

purport of this shlokam is that Madhusudana Sarasvathi who was a staunch

advaitin and shaivite, says in one of his shlokams - " Though my lips chant

Shiva panchaakshari, and though I believe in an attributeless brahman, my

mind is always fixed on that small kid of Yashoda's who is divine with all

auspiscious attributes and my mind always meditates upon him " .

Swamy then elaborated upon certain aspects from Sribhashyam and the

defieiencies in the system of Advaitha and brought out as to how the system

of Vishishtaadvaitha excels all the other systems in every aspect. He also

insisted upon the importance paramekaantyam for a Srivaishnava. He then

continued glorifying the most noble efforts of all the poorvacharyas in

safeguarding such a great and accurate philosophical system.

He then praised the most noble efforts of Dr. NSA in propagating Ramanuja

Sampradayam, especially in the land most beloved to Ramanuja and Deshikan.

He said " Anantharangacharya swamy has been a great friend of mine for many

years and though swamy is very well versed in Sanskrit and Tamizh including

Kannada and English, he has written many great works of our poorvaacharyas

in Kannada to enable the people of Karanataka to take advantage of these

divine srisooktis that would help them follow the path prescribed by our

poorvacharyas " .

H.H further continued saying " A great maharshi Sriman Anantharangacharya, a

great bhagavatha, atmagunapraripoorna and satsampradaya bhushaNa. It has

been my privilege to release this great Srisookti of our dear Sri Swamy

Deshika " Deshika prabandham " in Kannada. I request that everybody read these

divine works and to make the purpose of their publication worthwhile. "

 

This was followed by Srimad Azhagiya Singar honouring Dr. NSA, for his

monumental service to Sri Ramanuja sampradayam.

 

Excerpts from Sri Dr. NSA's upanyaasam -

-----------------------------

Sriman Dr. NSA who spoke on the occassion, paid his respects to Sri Vedanta

Deshika Yatindra Maha Deshikan and to the prakrutam Azhagiya Singar. Dr. NSA

shared some of his notable conversations with Srimad Mukkur Azhagiya Singar

and also with Sriman Villivalam Narayanacharya (prakrutam Swamy's brother in

poorvashramam).

Speaking about Srimad Azhagiya Singar, he said that it has been his great

bhagyam, that Srimad Azhagiya Singar has blessed his house with his paada

sparsham.

Dr. NSA then respectfully acknowledged Kannan's and Srimad Azhagiya Singar's

anugraham.

Speaking about the book he said that just as we offer a small cup of milk as

small service to the sampradayam to bring about more awareness amongst

people with regards to the sampradayam.
