===========================================================

EDITORIAL:

Dear Bhagavatas:

By the grace of Divya Dampathis and Asmad Acharyan, the Upanayanam of my

grandson, Chi. Pradhyumnan went off very well. We had the baaghyam of having

darsanam at close quarters at almost all the Divyadesams visited and had

been blessed with audience of almost all Yathivaras,Acharyas and Scholars.

 

Some interesting details will be posted later on.

 

An important highlight of this visit was that H.H. Srimad Andavan of

Poundarikapuram Swami Ashramam, Srirangam initiated the undersigned into

“Sri Lakshmi Hayagriva Mahaa Mantram” as he did into “Sudarsana Mahaa

Mantram” on an earlier occasion.

 

On 9th August 2002, we returned safe to Cleveland, where I will be staying

for sometime for giving instructions on Sandhyavandanam to a group of kids

in this place who had Upanayanam recently and classes on Tiruvaaraadana

kramam and Swmi Desika StOtrams and Prabandams to those interested to learn.

(Prasnam 34 & 35)

(By Sri M.K. Ramaswamy Iyengar Swami - Retired Senior Officer of Govt. of

India)

-------

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 Dharma – putra -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)

5. SRIMAD RAHASYA TRAYA SAARAM –

THE PEERLESS PRECEPTOR- PART 12
