SrI:
Dear Swamy Desika BhakthAs:
On November 13 , 2003 , the 150th
anniversary of the birth of one of
the greatest Sholars/AchAryAs and authorities of
Swamy Desikan's
and AchArya RaamAnujA SrI Sookthis will be
celebrated at Kaanchipuram .
This great AchArya of blessed memory was born in
Thirupputkkuzhi
dhivya dEsam .He belonged to the Taata Desika
Vamsam.
Dr.SaTakOpa TatachAr Swamy , who has devoted his
life to
NithyArAdhana Kaimakryam at ThUppul Swamy Desikan
and
Lord DhIpa PrakAsan Sannidhis is taking the
initiative to have
Veda PaarAyaNam for four days, Sadas and
TadhIyAradhanam to
celebrate the blessed memory of this great AchArya
, who
devoted His life to the advancement Bhagavath
RaamAnuja Darsanam
in general and Swamy Desikan's contributions
in particular to
this Darsanam .
Thirupputkkuzhi Swamy took control of Swamy
Desikan's sannidhi
at Thuppul and
restored it back to its former glory after an unfortunate
period of confusion there. His vamsatthAr are
carrying on that important
work all the way down to today .
The traditions behind the MangaLaasAsanam
of
Swamy Desikan at Lord VaradarAjan's temple that
I wrote about last year and this year is linked
with this MahAn . This year on October 5 (PurattAsi
SravaNam day ) , that celebrated MangaLAsAsanam
took place and the SrI Sookthis of Swamy Desikan
selected by HIM for recitation at the
appropriate
Sannidhis and on top of Hasthi Giri were recited
.
Thirupputtkkuzhi ( Thirupuukkuzhi) is the dhivya
dEsam with
SrI Maragathavalli SamEtha SrI Vijayya Raghavan
presiding over
as the dhivya
dampathis . They reside on the banks of
JaDAyu PushkaraNi .AchArya RaamAnuja studied
under
Yaadhava PrakAsar here ; later YahdavprakAsar
became
the sishya of AchArya RaamAnujA. Swamy
Desikan's ParamArTa Sthuthi
saluting Lord Vijaya Raghavan as " RaNa Pungavan ,
Aahava Pungavan
was born here
.SudarsanAshtakam of Swamy Desikan also took its
origin here . Thirumangai's two Paasurams perform
MangaLAsAsanam
for the dhivya Dampathis here . Sudarsana Soori ,
the student of
NadAthUr AmmAL and
the author of Srutha PrakAsika is said to have
resided at Thiruppukkuzhi. All amAvAsyais in general and Adi AmAvasyais
in particular are celebrated grandly here .There is
a separate sannidhi
for JadAyu here. The maNDapam where Yaadhava
PrakAsar and
AchArya RaamAnujA had VedAntha VichAram is near the
ANDAL
Sannidhi in the South West corner of the
temple. This KshEthram is
few kilometers from Kaanchi VaradarAjar
