PoorvAchArya Sthothra Granthams : Swamy Desikan and Swamy ParAsara Bhattar 's Sri Sookthis : Part II

[Guest guest]

SrI :

 

Dear BhakthAs of Swamy Desikan :

 

The SthOthra Granthams of our PoorvAchAryAs are treasure houses of

PoorvAchAryaas are built upon the foundation of Vedic authority and

PrasthAna Thraya : Upanishads , Brahma SoothrAs and the Lord's own

Bhagavath GithA . They derive further inspiration from Tamil Vedams( MaRais)

and one can spend a life time learning them , reciting them and reflecting on them

and nurturing them as our Kula dhanams and pass it on to the next generation .

 

adiyEn seeks asmath AchAryan's anugraham to write about this series ,

which will introduce two releases by Sri Vilakkoli PerumaaL VedAntha

Desikar Charitable Trust (VPVDCT) formed with the twin goals of :

 

(1) Raise Funds to conduct uninterrupted NithyArAdhana Kaimkaryam

at Swamy Desikan's Sannidhi at His avathAra Sthalam .

(2) Conduct special uthsavams like AnushtAna KuLa Uthsavam

and Sri AppuLLAr Thirunakshathram every year with Veda PaarAyaNam

and traditional SaaRRumuRais in front of Lord VaradarAjan and

AchArya RaamAnuja , who travel to Swamy Desikan's sannidhi at

ThUppul avathara Sthalam .

 

Sri P.V.Satakopa TatachAr Swamy ( Phone : 094475 and 73942 at Kaanchi )

is well known to many of You as a Member of the Board of VPVDCT Trust

located at 14 SBI Officers Colony , Aynavaram , Chennai 600 023.

 

The above Trust has joined with Sri Sookthi PrachaariNi Sabhaa of

Singapore to release the following two most recent audio CDs :

 

1) A set of Two Audio CD ROMs on 25 of the 28 SthOthra Granthams

bequeathed to us by Swamy Desikan . That covers all but three sthOthrams

of the 28 sthOthrams of Swamy Desikan ( NyAsa Vimsathi , Achyutha Sathakamand Garuda PanchAsath ). They may be released seperately as third volume later .

 

2) A VCD about Swamy Desikan's annual BrahmOthsavams at ThUppul .

 

The Officers of Sri Sookthy PracharaNi Sabha of Singapore , the co-sponsor of

these two audio CD ROMs of Swamy Desikan's SthOthrams has introduced

the Stothra Paatam CD ROM release this way :

 

" Swamy Desikan's unparalleled genius and His services to humanity need

no introduction to AasthikAs . The profound and highly philosophical meanings

embedded in his stotras ought to be learnt and enjoyed by Asthikas within

their lifetime , as they have the potency to lead us towards unblemished and

unending joy , both during our stay in this materialistic world and beyond .

Considering the fast paced and global life that we all lead today , where many of us

are unable to learn these stotras directly from an Acharya , the need to have

these stotras in paatam (santhai) style was felt When thsi request was made to

Sri . U. Ve . Satakopa Tatacharya Swamy just a month ago , he took up this project

and with unbridled enthusiasm , working day and night , to come up with this

invaluable treasure within such a short span of time . Credit also goes to his

colleague Dr.O.R. Vijayaraghavacharya , who enacted the role of the learner for

the effectiveness of the recording .

 

Sri Vilakkoli Perumal Thuppul Vedanta Desikar Charitable Trust , together

with Srisukti Pracharani Sabha , humbly offers this small effort at the Divine

lotus feet of our Thuppul KUla Mani .

 

Recommended donation of US $ 20 ( or Rs.300 in India) the stotra Paatams .

All donations will go to build up the corpus fund of Swamy Desikan NithyAradhanam

at His avathara sthalam of Thuppul agraharam . "
