SrI:
 
Dear AasthikAs :
 
sRi U.Ve. Injimedu Chetlur Sri RaghavAchar Swamy's SathamAna Uthsavam
will be celebrated by his ThirukkumArars from 31st July to Aug 3 , 2005
at 18 MahAdEvan St, West Mambalam with Veda-dhivya Prabhandhaadhi
PaarAyaNams .
 
Sri U.Ve RaghavAchAr Swamy was born in 1905 just like my Father , whose SathamAna
Uthsavam will be celebrated at Oppiliappan Sannidhi on October 22 , 2005 .
 
Sri RaghavAcchAr Swamy was born on a  day in 1905 Aadi , when Lord RamachandrA's
Janma Nakshathram , Punarvasu was in ascendance. He was therefore given the name of
RaaghavAchArya .  With that sambhandham , Sri RaaghavAchArya will later become Saabdhika Rathnam ,
U.Ve.VidwAn , Sri RaaghavArya MahA Desikan .
 
Swamy 's father (Sri U.Ve KrishNamAcchAri Swamy ) was such an expert in
the VedAs and completed His VedAdhyanam so quickly that he was given
the title of " Soora VedAdhyAyee" . SrikAryam Swamy of Ahobila Matam today ,
Sri U.Ve. GanapAdi PazhavEri Swamy is revered as another " Soora VedAdhyAyee".
 
Sri U.Ve. RaghavAcchAr Swamy's early studies were under the famous Thillaympoor
Swamy . I believe that the village of Thillaympoor  known for its austere scholars in
our sampradhAyam is near the dhivya dEsam of NaacchiyAr Koil . Swamy continued
his further studies at Sri VenkatEswara Oriental College , Thiruppathy under
MahAmahOpAdhya Sri Sethu MaadhavAcchAr Swamy . Swamy showed such talent
in VyAkaraNa Saasthram that he was offered a position of Junior Faculty at the Oriental
College . This college has had many famous faculty such as U.Ve. Vaikunta Vaasi
UtthamUr Swamy . This college had many famous students like U.Ve.VaikuntavAsi ,
Purasai KrishNamAcchAr Swamy , the grandson of the illustrious InjimEdu
Azhagiya Singar (PetAdhipathy: 1929-1953) , who established the MadhurAnthakam
Sanskrit College in 1942 .
 
At the time of founding of the MadhurAnthakam Sanskrit College , U.Ve. Vaikunta Vaasi
Sri GhOshtipuram Swamy was appointed as the FIRST adhyakshar (Principal)
of the College . Sri GhOshtipuram Swamy  was one of the greatest VisishtAdhvaitha VedAnthic
Scholar of all times . The Second Adhyakshar was none other than HH the 43rd Pattam
Azhagiya Singar known as Sri DEvanAr ViLAgam Azhagiya Singar ( reign as SrI Matam
PeetAdhipathy from 1953--1957) . 
 
Sri  U.Ve.RaaghavAcchAr Swamy was appointed as the THIRD Principal of
the MadhurAnthakam Sanskrit College in 1951 , when DevanArvilAgam
Azhagiya Singar accepted SanyAsa Aasramam from HH the 42nd Pattam
Azhagiya Singar  and became Chinna Azhagiya Singar  .  As the third principal,
Sri RaghavAcchAr Swamy  did not serve many years since Sriman NaarAyaNan
had called Swamy early in his life to Parama Padham .Swamy was one of the most
prominent scholar in VyAkaraNam and imparted in his students a great respect for
this Saastheram .  
 
The SathamAna Uthsavam will reach its peak on Aug 3 , 2005 and during that
evening , there will be a Vidhvath Sadas ( Assembly of Scholars ) on Swamy
Desikan's DayA Sathakam . This is a rare treat for those who can attend .
It will be wonderful if a particpant in this Uthsavam would be able to record
the proceedings of the Dayaa Sathakam Vidvath Sadas .
 
AdiyEn's prayers to Prakrutham Azhagiya Singar and MalOlan for a grand
celebration of this illustrious VidhvAn .

P.S : The two sons of Saabhdhika Rathnam Swamy have created an endowment
at MadhurAnthakam Schools for the top student in VyAkaraNam . The founders
of the endowment state : " The Endowment would have achieved its purpose , if atleast
ten students are recognized for their proficiency in VyAkaraNa Saasthram ". This is
a moving tribute by the sons to their Scholarly Father .
