EDITORIAL:

Dear Bhagavataas:

1. HAPPY PARTHIVA SAMVATSARAM!

May the Divya Dhampatis shower their blessings of peace, prosperity and

mutual amity upon all humanity.

 

Let us all be happy, healthy and prosperous and engage in greater kainkaryam

to Bhagavaan and Bhagavatas in the year ahead.

 

Kindly accept my heartfelt greetings on the dawn of the New Year.

 

Sri Seva Swamigal has composed a Stotra, “Akshaya Aaraadhanam” in which he

has used the names of all the 60 years of our almanac to pay tributes to

Swami Desika. Here is the one dedicated to “PARTHIVA” Samvatsaram.

 

Paarthiva sthuti vidaayi naatataa

Paarthivam cha vachasaa anugrunhataa /

Paarthivaasraya sukham nigrunhataa

vEda mouLi guruNaa drutaa vayam //

MEANING:

”Paarhiva: he praised the Paaarthiva (King); He blessed another King through

his UpadEsa; He renounced the Royal gifts and pleasures offered. We are

saved by such Sri Vedanta Desika”

 

The traditional Panchangams, of course, give their “veNbas” that do not

instill much of sanguine prognosis of the year ahead. More often than not,

the frightening prospects or the more welcome scenario predicted therein

normally do not come true. But, one thing is certain. The prayers to Swami

Desika as contained in Seva Swami’s Akashaya Aaraadhanam” are sure to

guarantee us a worry free and pleasant future. So, we are not referring to

the traditional VeNbaa” in our New Year greetings.
