Dear Sri Matam SishyAsand AbhimAnis:

of writing about the Life and contributions of HH Srimath

InjimEdu Azhagiya Singar in the context of the forthcoming

celebrations of " AchArya Vaibhavam " at Sri RanganAthA Temple ,

Pomona , NY on August 18, 2001 and the AchArya Vaibhavam Celebrations

at Chantilly , VA on September 1-2, 2001.

This will be the concluding article on the series that has

already appeared on the Sri RanganAtha MahA SamprOkshaNam

Souvenir issue that covered the Vaibhavams of HH The 43rd

Jeeyar ( Sri DevanAr ViLAgam Azhagiya Singar ), HH The 44th

Jeeyar ( Sri MukkUr Azhagiya Singar , the Founder of

the Sri RanganAthA Temple here ) and HH The 45th Jeeyar ,

AdiyEn will be drawing heavily from existing publications

in BahudhAnya Samvathsara Nrusimha PriyA , AchArya Vaibhavam

articles by U.Ve. Purisai Swamy , the direct grandson of

HH Srimath InjimEttu Aazhagiya Singar .adiyEn will be mainly

organizing this information and make them available to those

The greatness of this MahA Desikan is beyond imagination

or description. His Athma GuNams , Scholarship, piety,

anushtAnam , vision and dedication are exemplary. In this

effort to capture some of these adhbhutha guNams and

contributions of Srimath InjimEttu Azhagiya Singar , who is
