Dear BhakthAs : For your Information & Follow Up.
V.Sadagopan
 
----- Original Message -----
 

Dear members of the group,

 

Please go thro' the forwarded mail of Sri Sadagopan Swamy about the  availability of the e-journal ?Purna-kumbha?, released by HH Rangapriya Swamigal, on the occasion of the centenary celebrations of Sri U.Ve, Parankushacharya, the revered father of Veda Varidhi, U.Ve. Dr. P.Ramanujan, the asthana vidvan of Ahobila Mutt.

 

Dr. Ramanujan doesn?t need any introduction.  When sage Valmiki asked  Naradar, ?kOnvasmin sAmprataM lokE guNavAn kashcha vIryavAn dharmajnashcha krtajnashcha satyavakyOdrDhavrata: ???, the answer then, was ? RAMA?. Same way, if anyone were to question as, ?is there anyone,  who is an authority in the field of Vedas, vedangas etc etc?  who is a master of divyaprabandhams, a  doyen in the field of  dharmashastras? a strict follower of Vaidika anushThanams ?  a kind guru who takes pleasure in teaching his disciples any time without bothering about his own convenience? an unparalleled scholar of Sanskrit,Tamil etc? and many more like this, THE ANSWER WOULD BE ?Sri. RAMANUJAN?.

 

There is a slokam in Kalidasa's Raghuvamsha mahakavyam, which talks about the greatness of King Dilipa, as the one who attained vrddhatava (old age) in his youth, thro' his limitless knowledge, being unperturbed by the worldly pleasures and always indulging in dharma, "anArkshTasya vishayai: vidyAnAm pAradrshvana: tasya dharmaratE: asIt ""vrddhatvam jarasA vinA"". The same applies to Dr Ramanujan also.

In a nutshell, it is not at all an exaggeration, if I say, like Swamy Vedanta Deshika, Dr Ramanujan is a doyen in all fields. He is blessing the people of Bangalore thro? his unparalleled kalakshepams, while also contributing extensively to our sampradayam in many ways including thro'CDAC, where he is heading a division.

This souvenir ?Purna-kumbha? is a collection of beautiful articles by the greatest scholars of the day, including the current day Srikaryam swamins and asthana vidvans, vidvans like Dr NSA, Vidvan Ramanuja Tatacharya, Vidvan K.S.Varadacharya and many others.  Dr Ramanujan?s foreword speaks the contents of this. Those who wish to acquire a  copy of this may do so by paying an amount of US $ 5 online and get this as an email attachment.

 

Many thanks to Sriman Sadagopan swamy and Sri Sriram for their help in getting this uploaded and making available online.

 

For more details, please read the forwarded mail of Sri Sadagopan swamy.

 

Pranamams,

Ramanuja dasi,

Padmini
