Fwd: Two GPP texts

[Guest guest]

Swamins:

Sorry forgot to mention this;

Whatever I wrote on this posting is just a matter of fact and not to show any

disrespect towards any Acharya or any sampradhayam. As Sri Dileepan said while

ago, if we share something backed by facts, it would be a great learning

experience. As I have written many times I have equal respect for all the

Acharyas and sampradhayam and want to learn all their great works.

>As far as the first one (reg. Desika Prabhandham) I am not sure when it was

stopped. But as far as the second thing is concerned, that is " no one after

Vedanta Desikan must be intalled as Archa " is still true. In SriRangam Swami

Desikan was the last Acharya to have an archa inside the temple. Even Sri

Mamunigal's sannidhi is on the Uththra Veedhi(at the Pallvaraya Madam) and not

within the temple complex. There are several arguements over this issue of Swami

Mamunigal's sannidhi outside the main temple complex. Whatever the arguements

the fact remains that Swami Desikan is the last Achaya to have an Archa and a

sannidhi inside the temple complex who used to have all the temple honors during

the major uthsavams. And until 18th century or early 19th century temple records

are there at Srirangam (even Sri Thennacharya sampradhayam people will accept

it) that Swami Desikan was the last Acharyan to get the temple honors during the

Adhyayana Uthsavams and other uthsavams. But when t

h

>e kalai fights started involving Swami Desikan's Sannidhi(sometime early

Nineteenth century) the temple honors were stopped for Swami Desikan in

Srirangam.
