Dear AastikAs:

 

adiyEn was at Swamy Desikan's sannidhi during last week and Dr. SatakOpa Tatachaar was there with me . He briefed me on the ongoing efforts to present an unusual AabaharaNam , Makara KaNdi to our most revered AchAryan during the upcoming anushtAna KuLa Utsavam , when Lord VaradarAjan with His Ubhaya NaacchiyArs and Acharya Raamanujaa come to visit Swamy Desikan at His avathAra stalam to shower their anugrahams .

 

The Noothana AabharaNam , Makof ara KaNdi, is a ruby necklace of unusual design , which is presented to a victor in a great contest , where such a victor defeats soundly all the contestants . It could be for a King , who vanquishes the mighty armies that oppose him . In the case of Swamy Desikan, He won over all Paramatha Vaadhins at Srirangam , Kaanchipuram and Thiruvaheendhrapuram and established the unassailability of AchArya Raamaanuja Darsanam throroughly grounded on Vedams and Upanishads . He composed more than 125 Sri Sooktis in three languages ( Sanskrit, Tamil and Praakrutam ). He blessed us with many StOtrams and Kaavyams . For all of these incomparable , priceless and immense Kula dhanams bequeathed by Swamy Desikan for posterity , any number of Makara KaNdis would not be sufficient to show our reverence Him .

 

adiyEn will send you seperately the image of the Makara KaNdi , which is being constructed at Bangalore and pictures from my most recent visit to Thooppul Swamy Desikan Sannidhi by separate mail .

 

May adiyEn invite you to take part in this Kaimkaryam yathaa sakti ? Two thirds of the total funds have been assembled as of now. All samarpaNams are Tax deductible both in India and USA . adiyEn will be happy to send you the addresses in USA and India , where You can send Your samarpaNams . Please let. adiyEn know of your interests in participation .

 

adiyEn will post a series of articles from tomorrow from selected Sri Sookthis of Swamy Desikan to recall the greatness of Swamy Desikan .
