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 .

Daasan , Oppiliappan KOil VaradAchAri SadagOpan
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 .
