SrI:
Today is the sacred day of SravaNam , SrI VishNu
Nakshathra
dinam . The auspicious Yogam today is Siddha and
Subha yOgams .
At Oppiliappan Sannidhi , the SravaNa dheepam was
lit and taken
around the PrAkArams to the accompaniment of
MangaLa Vaadhyams ;
anna dhAnam for sEvArthees was completed
.
On this auspicious day , it gives me great pleasure
to announce
the release of one of the most beautiful
web site that I have seen
for Swamy Desikan . Emphasis in this web site
is on
the avathAra Sthalam of Swamy Desikan (viz).,
ThUppul , an agrahAram
not far from Lord
VaradarAjan's temple at Kaanchipuram .
Swamy Deikan was born here on 1268 C.E
some 736 years ago.
SrI L.Sridhar , the talented web site designer from
Bangalore
has designed this beautiful web site , which is a
must to see
for all SrI VaishNavAs . Sri Sridhar has already
created number of
informative and lovely web sites for KarnAtaka
Vishnavite temples
(Sathyagalam , DoddanallUr et al). He is busy
designing another
beautiful web site for Melkote , where AchArya
RaamAnuja spent
12 years of His life worshipping ThirunArAyaNa
PerumAL and
Yadhugiri NaacchiyAr . Melkote also happens to be
the avathAra
sthalam of Sri Adhi VaNN SaThakOpa Jeeyar ,
the first Jeeyar of
Ahobila Matam , who was initiated into SanyAsa
Aasramam by
Lord Lakshmi Narasimhan Himself .
