Dear AasthikAs :

I have attached an article form The Hindu 
referred to in a sister list .

This article is about Dr. Kannan Swamy ,
Prochancellor of the University of Hyderabad 
and one of the top most Research Scientists in
Mathematics , the queen of Sciences . 

He is the winner of the most Prestigious RaamAnujam Prize in
Mathematics and is a renowned Researcher in Mathematical 
Sciences .

He comes   from one of the villages most reputed for 
its Ubhaya VedAntha Scholars steeped in the study 
and dissemination of Bhagavath RaamAnuja SiddhAntham.
This village is NavalpAkkam near Kaanchipuram and is known 
for Vedic scholars , Aagamaa experts and Ahnikam 
authorities , who have kept our Vedic traditions alive for centuries .

The watch word of the citizens of this noble village is:
" DharmO Viswasya Jagatha: prathishDaa ". The title of 
"ChathurvEdha Sathakrathu " sits easily with these NaavalpAkkam
Swamys such as Sri Yaj~na VarAhAcchAr Swamy , Sri VaradAcchAr 
Swamy and many Mahaa Vidhvaans linked to this villge . 

Dr. Kannan Swamy  maintains the strictest standards of AachAram 
and anushtAnam ,while holding one of the highest academic positions 
in a prestigious Universty in India . He does not travel overseas and 
uses well water in his house . 

His is an extraordinary and exemplary life worthy of emulation !

I am priveleged to know him and he has given me permission to
translate his postings on "Sri Lakshmi Sahasram " , a great kaavyam
by Sri ArasANippAlai VenkatAdhvari Kavi . His postings appear in
Sri RanganATa Paadhuka Magizine belonging to Srimath Srirangam
Andavan Aasramam . 

It is important for us to stop for a minute and reflect on great , exemplary 
souls 
like Professor KaNNan Swamy , who pursue intellectual pursuits relating to
Modern Science at its cutting edge , while steeped in the observance of ancient 
values 
of our Rishis , AchAryaas and AazhwArs . Quitely , they lead  spiritually rich
and fulfilled lives and serve   their communities so very well .They live 
amidst 
the buzzle of modern cities with all its miseries and yet have their deep roots 
in places like NaimichAraNyam (NaavalpAkkam) known for the assembly of great 
seers .
The " maddening crowds " of an urban environment do not faze them
since they are steeped in the tranquility and comfort of our Vedic dharmams .
These Mahaans go about their lives with the conviction  of the mantrams of
Sri NaarAyaNa Hrudhayam :

Yaavath SaamsaarikO bhaavO manassTO bhaavanaathmaka:
thaavath siddhir-bhavEth saadhyaa sarvadhaa sarvadhaa VibhO

NaarAyaNa : Phalam mukhyam siddhir-NaarayaNa: sukham
Hari-NaarAyaNa: Suddhi: NaarAyaNa namOasthu tE 

NamO NaarAyaNaaya,

Daasan , Oppiliappan Koil V.Sadagopan ( SaThakOpan) .

Dear Sriman Mohan,

Only a small correction. The reporter mistook the yellow SrIchUrNam and 
thirumaNN on his forehead to be sandalwood paste.
