Dear bAkthAs

Adiyen read a mail posted by Anbil mAmA say a two weeks ago July 31 ( in satsangam group)about availability of Sri BAshyam books at Chennai in that anbil mAmA mentioned about hayagrEva vidhyApEtam.

Adiyen traced that remote place ducked in a corner of tharamani luckily with lesser difficulty as it was closer to IIT Madras where adiyen right now work.

Adiyen met the publisher of "PerarulAlan" monthly religious magazine.The magzine was started by U.VeThitputkuzhi (Narasimha thAthAchAr) swAmi say some 30 years back and the work is carried by swAmi's thiru kumArar U.Ve Dr T.N.AravamudhAchAr.

It is a very humble magazine but carries plethora of information about our sath sampradhAyam and is known to collective vaidhEkAs and AsthEkas(say few hundred??)

ParavakottAi srimadh Andavan swAmi is the current Boshakar of this magazine with U.Ve N.S.Ramanuja thAthAchAr is the editor and U.Ve AravamudhAchAr is the publisher.

U.Ve AravaumdhAchar swAmi is currently working as professor of sanskrit at Raja's College ThiruvayAru and shuttles between thiruvayAru and chennai now and then.

When adiyen paid adiyens's humble pranams an enquired about the publications of HayagrEva VidhyApEtam adiyen came across excellant books about our sampradhAyams and vaidhekam etc and redaily bought whatever thatw as available.

SwAmi also mentioned about Dhesikan sannidhi at Tharamani which adiyen was not aware of until then.

The place is very quiet and away from the hustle bustle of city and so the approach is pretty confusing and the roads are not very proper.

One may not be able to trace this with ease.

Period..

There has been an article about this sannidhi.

http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/fr/2003/04/18/stories/2003041801300800.htm

SwAmi wanted adiyen to spread the message to AsthikAs and avail the help of them to rennovate the sannidhi.

adiyen is also providing the contact numbers of swAmi (thillaisthAnam where swAmi resides)

954362 261516 (Residence) 954362 260263 (College)

The Chennai contact number(HayagrEva vidhyA pEtam and His relative's house) are as follows
22430826, 22432833.

Those AsthikAs who want to take part in this kainkaryam may contact Swami at the above numbers either at thillaisthAnam or Chennai.

Work on at temple complex



Sri Nigamantha Desikar at the temple maintained by the Desika Dharsana Sabha, at Taramani.

SRI VEDANTA Desikar was one of the greatest preceptors of the post-Ramanuja period, who spread the message of Ramanuja, known as Ethiraja (king among ascetics), in every nook and corner of not only the Tamil country, but Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and other places, in his own inimitable way. He was known for his poetic skill and logical dexterity.

His numerous works in Tamil and Sanskrit give ample proof of the same. Apart from the original works he also wrote commentaries on the Isavsyopanishad, Stotra Ratna and Chatusloki of Alavandar and Gadyatraya of Ramanuja. Many organisations have been set up to spread Desika Darsanan and they have been doing yeoman service.

One among them is the Desika Dharsana Sabha in Taramani, a suburb of Chennai.

Started in 1965, the Sabha, with the help of donations from the public, constructed shrines for Swami Desikar and Lord Lakshmi Hayagriva. They were consecrated on September 5, 1976.

Later a shrine for Dhanvantari, the celestial physician and the preacher of Ayurveda, was constructed and the Samprokshanam was performed on December 7, 1979. The shrines were visited by Mukkur Azhagiyasingar, the present Jeeyar Swami of the Ahobila Math, Srimad Andavan Swami, and Sri Parakala Madam Jeeyar Swami, who offered Mangalasasanams to the Lord and Sri Vedanta Desikar. Many scholars like Villivalam Narasimhachariar, Madurantakam Veeraraghavachariar and Thiruputkuzhi Nrisimha Thathachariar have given their benedictory messages and discourses. The Sabha has been conducting the Sravanam festival for Sri Desikar every month, and also other festivals.

Now the entire temple complex is in bad condition. So it has been decided to repair it and also construct a mandapam, vimanam and kitchen and also dig a well in the temple premises. Besides it is proposed to construct shrines for Yoga Narasimha and Vijayavalli samedha Sudarsana.

All these works are estimated to cost Rs. 20 lakhs. Contributions may be sent to the secretary, Sri Desika Dharsana Sabha, 1, Pandian Street, Tharamani, TTTI Post, Chennai-6000113 (phone no. 2430826 or 2432833.
