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

EDITOR’S NOTE:

(The “Yaksha Prasnam” is an important topic in which very many esoteric

truths are discussed in a conversation between Dharma in the form of a

Yaksha and Dharmaputra-Yudishtira. Though Yaksha’s questions and

Yudishtira’s replies may appear on the face of it simple and

commonplace,there is deeper philosophical significance beneath them. There

are about 125 Questions and Answers that reveal these in a subtle manner but

with deep undercurrent of practical wisdom. The author who has done intense

research on the subject brings to light these aspects in simple, clear and

understandable English, for our benefit)

Shri Anbil Ramaswamy

 

Esteemed Sir,

 

 

After a gap of two years, I am writing this letter to

appreicate your efforts in propagation of Sri

Vaishnavam with special reference to Sri Desika

Sampradayam.

 

I had made an attempt to see you, at Karolbagh

SriNrisimha temple when you visited Delhi last time.

But we could not meet each other. Actually, I am in

search of a biography of the Great Acharya - Swami

Desika. As regards Bhagavad Bhasyakara, there are

plenty of books available in Sankskrit, English and

tamil. During the life time of Bhagavad Bhasykara,

many of his disciples wrote his biographies.

 

Surprisingly, no such work was written about Sri

Desika, who also lived for 120 yrs. Was there any

attempt made earlier by any of his sishyas like the

first pontiff of Parakala Matam. Did any one try to

write the history of the Great Acharya in

choronologial order in tamil or English.

 

Looking forward to hear from you.

 

 

with regards,

 

 

R.Parthiban

 

(Ps: Although, I know the traditional vaishnava

paribasha, like Dasan, dashom etc., it looks

artificial for me to use in English mails. Hence, I

opted for simple way of writing)
