[Guest guest]

Dear Swamy Desika BhakthAs:

 

The MahOpakArams done for us by ThiruvEnkatamudayAn's GhaNDAvataran , Swamy

NigamAnta Desikan are limitless .

 

He incarnated on the PurattAsi SravaNam day , the avatAra dinam of the Lord of Seven Hills at the Thuppul AgrahAram , which is the sannidhi street of ThiruttaNkaa Maragathavalli SamEta Sri ViLakkoLi PerumAl's dhivya dEsam . He was named Sri Venkatesan . As a young boy of five, Sri Venkatesan recieved the benedictions of the great NadAthUr AmmAL to become an AchArya Mahaa Ratnam and spread far and wide the Bhagavath RaamAnuja SiddhAntham .

 

Swamy Desikan's life and Vaibhavam have been beautifully captured by Sriman Sridhar

Lakshminarasimhan of Bangalore in the form of pictures :

In a subsequent portal on Swamy Desikan , Sri Sridhar Lakshminarasimhan has assembled a huge amount of information on the dhivya Desams ( Kaanchi . Srirangam ,

ThiruttaNkaa, Thiruvaheendhrapuram , ThiruvEnkatam ) and abhimAna stalams ( Satyagalam in Karnataka).The links of Swamy Desikan to to the EmperumAns of these

One needs many lives to study and comprehend the deep tattvams that have come to us as UpadEsam from this great AchAryan , NigamAntha Mahaa Desikan . Our Guruparamparaa Saaram is that Moksham can be gained only through the compassionate help of a SadAchAryan ( AchAryavattayaa muktou tasmAdh-AchAryavAnn bhavEt). Sruti instructs us to approach an AchAryan to comprehend the nature of Brahmam ( tadhvijn~Artham sa gurumEvAbhigacchEt ; AchAryavAnn PurushO vEdha).The rahasyAmnAya BhrAmaNam states that we should know the ascending order of one's AchAryans starting from prakrutam AchAryan upto BhagavAn Himself ( sa AchArya-vamSO jn~EyO asaou asaou iti AabhAgavata:) . In Tamil , this has been described as "anta AchArya Paramparai mElE mElE innAr innAr yenRu Bhagavaan varayil vidAmal anusandhikkappada vENDum).

 

With these introductory remarks , let adiyEn share with you the excellent news on the

status of the SwarNa Kavacha SamarPaNa Kaimkaryam to Swamy Desikan at His ThUppul Sannidhi with the participation of many AchAryaas of our time such as Srimath Azhagiya Singar,Srimath SrimushNam Andavan and other Desika BhakthAs . adiyEn is happy to announce that 90 % of the total budget (~51 Laks of Rupees) has been assembled as of today and the Kaimkarya committee needs only 5 Laks of Rupees , the remaining 10% to complete the Kaimkaryam . This once in a life time Kaimkaryam can start next week on Panguni Uttiram day and the completion of this Swarna Kavacham will take few more weeks .

 

This is an opportune time to join in this Kaimkaryam . You can designate your samarpaNam to the right hand holding the VyaakyA ( UpadEsa) mudhrai and /or for the left hand holding the Sri Sookti of Srimath Rahasya Traya Saaram or His sacred Thiruvadis .

 

At Thiruvaheendhrapuram Swamy Nigamantha Mahaa Desikan adorns the most Beautiful RatnAngi each year as He ascends the Oushadagiri steps to perform His MangaLAsAsanam of Lord Hayagrivan on His avathAra dinam . Let us all join in this SwarNa Kavacha Kaimkaryam now and adorn our MahA Desikan'a archaa at ThUppul with this AabharaNam as He visits His Lord on top of Hastagiri on this year's PurattAsi SravaNam day .

 

Please write to adiyEn , so adiyEn can provide you the details on how to send your

samarpaNam for this Mahaa Kaimkaryam .

 

As for adiyEn's part , adiyEn will provide my modest samarpaNam and also select one slOkam and one SeyyuL per day from Swamy Desikan's Sanskrit SrI Sooktis such as Sankalpa SooryOdhayam ,AdhikaraNa SaarAvaLi , Srimad Rahasya Traya Saaram , Stotra Grantams and Tamil Sri Sooktis like ChillaRai Rahasyams for the next 45 days ( One MaNDalam) to energize ourselves to take part in this Kaimkaryam .
