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.
