Dear bhAgavadOttamAs,

adiyEn wish to announce the demise of Srivilliputhur Tamizh vidwan
K. Narasimha Iyengar swamy at Srirangam. He was 97 as he departed us
to attain the lotus feet of Sri Koil Kandadai Annan Swamy for nithya
kainkaryam on Tuesday night 16th of Sep 2008 (Krishnapaksha
Dvitiyai, Dhakshinayanam).

Sri Narasimha Iyengar swAmy was the son of the popular purANam
krishna iyengar swAmy of Srivilliputhur(Chakra kula theru). He was
both a sanskrit and tamil gold medalist in his academics and worked
as a Tamizh pandit, although, his knowledge in sanskrit was equally
commendable. Belonging to Thennacharya sampradayam, swAmy had also
been very popular amongst Vadakalai scholars. His mere presence in
all the vidwad sadas was mandated by the then Srimad Azhagiya Singar
jeeyar swAmy of ahObila madam as well as the present jeeyar swAmy.
Being a voracious reader of all pUrvAchArya granthAs, swAmy was well
versed in almost all popular pUrvAchArya granthams including Sri
bhAsyam, Divyaprabhanda vyAkyAnam, Sri vachana bhUshanam, AchArya
hrudhayam to name a few.

He had very clean habits in terms of his diet, anushtanam and day to
day activities. adiyEn saw him performing Sandyavandam 3
times "every day" until few weeks(he became unconscious) before he
departed.

Though we regret his demise, we are happy that a) He attained the
lotus feet of Sri Koil Kandadai Annan swAmy b) he had been relieved
from all the pains he suffered during his last few months. I have
seen him mentioning that 'dEhAvasAnE mukti:' and that is probably
why the Lord has kept him so long to clear up all his karmAs.

adiyEn is the son of Sri N. Venkatapathy Iyengar, the second son of
Sri K. Narasimha Iyengar swamy. adiyEn is proud to be his grand son
in many ways one of which is that without being born in this family
adiyEn would not have got the sambandham of Sri Koil Kandadai Annan
Swamy's lotus feet.

All the final 10 day rituals are being performed at Srirangam at his
6th Son Sri AzhwAr Iyengar's home at Dasavadara Sannidhi St,
Srirangam. 10th day ritual falls on Thursday and subha sweekAram
falls on this Sunday.

adiyEn,
rAmAnuja dAsan
