Sri: Srimathe Rangaramanuja Mahadesikaya Namaha Srimathe Gopalarya Mahadesikaya Namaha [Image] Today (Purattasi-Pooradam) Oct 3, 2003 is the 304th Thirunakshatram of Srimath Thirukkudanthai Desikan (1700 - 1781) also known as Gopalarya Mahadesikan. He is an important Acharya in the Munithraya sampradayam. His thanian reads as Sri Krishna dEsika PadAmbuja Brunga rAjam VEdAntha lakshmana muneeindra kripatha bOtham Thraiantha dEesika yatheendra satAri moorthim Gopala dEsika sikAmanim Aasrayamaha Srimathe Gopalarya Mahadesikaya Namaha Meaning of Thanian: Like a bee which goes after the lotus for nectar, He went after the feet of Sri Krishna Desikan (who was his Father) and had his Pancha Samskaram and Veda Adyanam under him. He absorbed Vedhantha gnanam from Vedhantha Lakshmana Muni (Sakshath Swamy). He is an embodiment of three great acharyas Swami Desikan, Sri Ramanuja and Swami Nammazhwar. We seek refuge and prostrate such a great acharya Srimath Gopalarya Maha Desikan. Adiyen compiled a three part series on Srimath Thirukkudanthai Desikan's Life history and Vaibhavam and posted last year in ramanujamission yahoogroups. The links are provided for those interested. Part I covers the early year of Srimath Thirukkudanthai Desikan and his compositions.
