Posting on behalf of Sri Nadadur Madhavan, Virginia:

Attached is a rare photo of a mural picture depicting Sri Nadadur Ammal (Vstsya Varada Guru) blessing 5-year old Venkatanathan (Swami Sri Desikan) seen on the ceilings of Kachchi-vaithAn Mantapam of Sri Varadraja Swamy Temple in Kanchipuram.
 

At the age of five, Swami received blessings from Sri Nadadur Ammal (You will establish Vedanta on a firm basis and refute the doctrine of its opponents.  May scholars well versed in the Vedas hold you in great esteem.  May you be the recipient in a great measure of all that is auspicious.) Sloka #6 of  Swami Sri Desika Mangalam composed by Sri Nainaracharya glorifies the event as:

yO bAlyE varadAryasya prAchAryasya parAm dayAm
avApya vrudhim gamita: tasmai yOgyAya mangaLam

regards,
Nadadur Mathavan

PS:  Taken by my uncle Dr. G.N. Srinivasan of Australia and passed on to me during his visit to Washington DC.
