Guest guest Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 SrI: Dear AasthikAs : Swamy Desikan's magnum opus among MaNipravALa Granthams is undoubtedly Srimath Rahasya Thraya Saaram . It is required to undertake KaalakshEpam of this grantham as Grantha Chatushtayam for all Vadakalai SampradhAyins . Sriman Svacchandham S.AarAvamudAcchAr Swamy has released a 140 page book in easy to read Tamil on the Quintessence of the Essence of Srimath Rahasya Thraya Saaram for the benefit of many of us , who may not have either the time for traditional KaalakshEpam under the sacred fee t of a SadAchAryan or would find it difficult to comprehend the Original MaNipravALam work of Swamy Desikan. Svacchandham Swamy is the retired Professor of Sanskrit at the A.V.C College at MaayUram and is a retired Research Scholar of the famous AdayAr Oriental Research Library . Swamy hails from a traditional Sri VaishNavite Family known for its piety and Scholarship in SampradhAyic Sri Sookthis . Svacchandham Swamy has presented us with an eminently readable Monograph , which summarizes the essence of essence of the Thirty two individual chapters of Sriamath Rahasya Thrayam . He has eschewed the Sanskrit and Tamil verses of the Original Sri Sookthi and focuses on " the salient features only for the appreciation of ordinary aspirants " . No important point is missed from the individual chapters of Srimath Rahasya Thraya Saaram of Swamy Desikan . This monograph is ideal for some one who is unfamiliar with Sri VaishNava doctrines and the purport of the three rahasyams ( Moola Mantram, Dhvayam and Charama SlOkam) leading upto the anuhstAnam of SaraNAgathy as the MokshOpAyam. The simplicity of style and the provision of clear defenitions of the key words in an easily assimilable form are the strengths of this Monograph . adiyEn recommends this book highly for all . It is modestly priced at $2.99 and 60 Rs. in India. Srimathy Sumathy SarangapANI of NJ copied on this note will be able to send you a copy .
