Subject: FW: SrI . U.Ve.Sudarsana TatachAr Swamy of Kaanchipuram
Dear Bhagavatas:
It is a sad moment for the Asthika world to learn that the great Sudarsana
Tatachar Swami of Kanchipuram had retired to his eternal abode and will not
be with us anymore physically. But, we should take comfort in the fact that
he will be in the company of Nityasuris for rendering Nitya kainkaryams to
the Lord. I am sure he will bless all of us from his high abode and grant us
the strength to carry on the torch of Kainkaryam to Thooppul KulamaNi.
Here is a write up by our Sriman satakopan Swamy.

Subject: Re: Lord Ganesha
Dear Devotees and friends,
I do not consider myself competant
to answer sri nagarajs query. However from what i have learnt from our
reverened acharyas is that in our sri vaishnava philosophy Lord
srimannarayana is the supreme deity to whom we surrender.The great epic
srimad bhagvadgita also propounds the same.
After a person goes through
samasrayanam and sharanagati through the blessings of an acharya ,it is
acomplete surrender to Sriman narayana and worship of anya devathas is
prohibited. Pl. bear with me for this indulgence.
thank u all.

by SrI L.Sridhar
SrI:
Today is the sacred day of SravaNam , SrI VishNu Nakshathra
dinam . The auspicious Yogam today is Siidha 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 .
Now coming back to the Thooppul web site createdby SrI Sridhar
and announced on this SravaNam day , the URL is:
http://www.thooppul.com
Please enjoy these web pages , which have the following 12 sections :
1. SrI Mukhams of Current VaishNavite AchAryAs
2.Introduction to ( brief about ) Kaanchipuram
3. Location of Thooppul
4.Sthala PurANam of Thooppul
5. Charithram of Swamy Desikan
6. SrI Sookthis (Sacred works ) of Swamy Desikan
7. Anna DhAnam at Thooppul
8. Uthsavams at Thooppul
9. Picture Gallery
10. Sponsors of the Site
11. Creator's secion (Cyber Brahma)
12. Other Vaishnavite Links ( 35 URLs) .
There is a vast amount of important information for
a student of SrI VaishNavam assembled here .
Please access the Thooppul WEb pages (http://www.thooppul.com)
and enjoy them .
The meanings and commentaries of number of SrI Sookthis of
Swamy Desikan are also included in the web sites listed in
the Link Pages . Please enjoy them as well .
There are two CD ROMs released on this occasion :
1) Uthsavams at Thooppul for Swamy Desikan
2) Chithra Desikeeyam , a pictorial life history and
His Vaibhavam .This CD ROM is ideal for the education of
children about the life and glories of one of the greatest
AchAryAs for all times .Details on this CD ROM are included
inside the Thooppul web pages.
Our sincere thanks go to young SrI Sridhar , who is the ELLU
Peran (Great , Great Granson ) of HH Kaadentthi AaNDavan (1829-1909 C.E) ,
an illustrious AchAryan of SrIrangam Andavan Paramparai .
KaadenthEtthi Andavan Himself is the sihsyar of Both the 28th Pattam
ParakAla Matam Jeeyar and the 38th Pattam Srimath Azhagiya Singar .
It is entirely appropriate that these web pages are coming to us from
SrI L.Sridhar with links to such great AchArya Paramparais. Thank you
SrI Sridhar for an outstanding creation with focus on Swamy Desikan's
avathAra Sthalam .
May we be blessed to realize NithyArAdhanam
at Thooppul and ThiruttaNkA conducted without
interruption !

``The Sacred Sayings of our Goddess-SrI ANDAL''
Notes by Sri V. Sadagopan (Oppiliappan Koil)
Translated by Smt. Kalyani Krishnamachari with
additional translations from purvAcArya-s' commentaries
Introduction
The following write-up deals with the mAhAtmyam (greatness) of SrI gOdAdEvi,
who (in spite of having the great honor of sitting by the side of paramapada
nAthan in SrI vaikuNTham) chose to be born under a tulasi plant in SrI vishNu
cittar's garden in South India and found great pleasure in presenting poomAlai
(garland of flowers) and pAmAlai (garland of verses) to rangamannAr.
Many of our acharyas have sung the praises of ANDAL; Sri vedAnta dESikar extols
Her bestowing an importance to South India by Her being born there. A whole set
of verses emanate from him in the form of gOdAstuti. SrI uyyakkoNdAr, SrI
rAmAnujar, SrI maNavALa mAmunigaL, SrI parASara bhattar and tirukkaNNa
mangaiyANDAn have all had divine experiences with ANDAL tirunAmam (holy name).

Dear Bhagavathas,
your question : why an Iyengar Should not worship Lord Ganesha/Vinayaka
Answer:
In my opinion ,
According to Srivaishnava Philosophy , Lord Sriman Narayanan is the only
PURUSHOTHAMAN . HE is the only male and all HIS CHIT creations are female and
we are supposed to marry him through the wedlock of Saranagathi . So after the
performance of Saranagathi with the help of an Acharyan , we should strictly
observe the following . Then only our Saranagathi will have a meaning.
