SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya namah: Dearest srivaishnavas, here is an account of asmadhAchAryan TN celebrations at Srirangam: [by Sri Sudarsan Parthsarathy swamin] Regards Namo Narayana dAsan ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Sudarsan Parthasarathy.S." <sudarsanp@xxxx> To: Sadagopan <sgopan@xxxx> CC: srivaishnavan@xxxx Subject: Re: [SriRangaSri] asmadhAchAryan Thirunakshathram Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2003 00:55:38 -0700 (PDT) Sri RAmajayam SrimathE GopAla DEsika MahA DEsikAya Namaha Dear Sri.SatakOpan Swami (Maama), Very happy to take note of the proceedings of Asmad AchAryan TN at Pomona, NY. AdiyEn had the parama bhAgyam to participate in the TN celebrations at Srirangam.... Short summary: Before TN, there was daily VEda pArayanam, and the day before the actual TN, there were delectable UpanyAsam on Thirvaimozhi with speakers drawn from the younger bastion of Sri Vaishnavite scholars. On the actual TN, Sri.V.N.GopAla Desikan Swamy and Sri.Srikaryam Anantha Nrusimhachariar continued to present the nectar from Thiruvaimozhi followed by AchArya Swamy conferring titles (Virudhu)such as "Desika Darsana ChoodAmani" to stalwarts to our siddhantham like to Sri.ANC Swami, Sri.KarunAkaran Swami..... What some of them had to say, Sri.Srikaryam Swami - AchAryas are like birds who fly on Bhagavad Anubhavam based on their wings of JnAna and AnustAna quoting 6 patthu and Swami DEsika's SthothrAs, to explain to us the importance of AchAryas in our SampradAyam even as explained by our AzhvArs. Finally Swami said we seek 3(Go-PA-lan) to get 8 (GunAs) and we seek 8 (Pa-ra-va-kot-tai An-da-van) to get 3 (Mo-k-sha), and went on to explain the appearance of AchArya as verily Abhinava DasAvathAram going back to the Thiruvaimozhi Anubhavam. Sri.KarunAkaran Swami - Spoke one a few lines, but very profound. Sri. KarunAkaran Swami, with all humility mentioned that even though he is extremly pleased to receive this title from the great AchAryas (Srimad Andavan and Sri Rangapriya Swami), he mentioned he does not deserve it.....however he mentioned that he will accept "Desika Darsana Choodamani" since Paravakottai Andavan is verily the real Choodamani among yathis. Guru-Sishya Vathsalyam: AdiyEn made a vignyApanam for procuring 4 copies of the 2nd volume of Sri RAmapirAnai KarpOm for the benefit of US BhAgavathas (Murali Swami, SatakOpan Swami, Mani Swami, Diwakar Swami), when Swamin said take copies for Murali and SatakOpan, and was extremely happy to take note that AdiyEn was planning to do the same. Overall the function went on extremely well, and on both these days there was good food for thought and consumption (ThadiyAradhanai). AdiyEn Sri RAmAnuja DAsan, Sudarsana Dasosmi
