Guest guest Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Sri SrimathE nigamAntha mahadesikAya namaha Dear Members, Swami Desikan (1268 - 1369 CE) spent a long time in Satyakalam near Kollegal close to Mysore. There, Swami Desikan sought refugee from the Moslem invaders of Srirangam. Swami Desikan composed Abheeti Stavam for removal of fear and quick restoration of Srirangam. Swami Desikan's Abheeti Stavam encouraged Swami Vidyaranyar of Shringeri Peetam, who in turn was the Raja-Guru of Harihara and Bukka, the founders of the Vijayanagar Empire. Vijayanar, as it was, the richest and the most powerful empire of it's times. Needless to say, it was the richest and the powerful empire that Indian history has ever seen. There is a small Varadarajar Temple in Satyakalam today. Plans are underway to revive daily worship under the blessings of HH Sri Rangapriya Mahadesikan. Sri K R Krishnaswami of Bangalore, India is at the forefront of this noble task. I will post more information as and when I receive the same. Devotees in and around Bangalore are encouraged to contact Sri K R Krishnaswami at (80)-6767528 I have a small request for those of you in the list who contact Sri KR Krishnaswami. Please do let us know his email address and his plans in detail so that devotees across the oceans have an oppurtunity in participating in this once in a lifetime event, which has immense historical significance.
