=================================

Dear Swamy Desika BhakthAs:

adiyEn is delighted to learn about the plans for 
the celebration of Swamy Desikan's Thirunakshathram 
at Singapore under the leadership (adhyaksham)of
SrImAn Hari SarangarAjan Swamy . Singapore BhakthAs
can consider themselves truly fortunate to
have a dedicated Swamy Desika Bhaktha in their
midst and to learn about our divine SampradhAya Granthams.

It is very welcome news that there will be special emphasis on 
Swamy Desikan's ParamArTa Sthuthi , a salutation to
the Thirupputtkkuzhi PerumAL , SrI Vijaya Raaghavan.

In This context , the URL for the home pages of Thirupputtkkuzhi
dhivya desam would be of interest to you:

http://members.tripod.com/~vrperumal

This web site contains a full text of SrI ParamArTa Sthuthi
of Swamy Desikan and has in addition sections on
the recorded history of the Temple , inscriptions there , 
the Temple plan and the Ramanuja MaNDapam , 
where AchArya RamAnujA as a young man had 
Poorva Paksham KaalakshEpam with Yaadhava PrakAsA , 
who later became AchArya RaamAnujA's sishya.

Thirupputtkuzhi smaraNam (rememberance) is tantamount to
smaraNam about the great AchAryAs of SrI VaishNava Paramparai. 

Great SrI VaishNava AchAryAs used to live in this agrahAram 
and reinforced the rampart and edifice of SrI Bhagavath
RaamAnuja darsanam in difficult times .

In most recent times , the life histories of great
AchAryAs are linked to this dhivya desam during 
the different stages of their lives. The dust of
the agrahAram of Thirupputkkuzhi is sacred because of
its links not only to the Thiruvadi of Lord Ramamchandra 
but also those of great AchArya Paramparai going 
all the way back to RaamAnujA . Many of the AchAryAs of 
recent times have direct and indirect links 
to Hasthigiri/ThUppul/Thirupputtkkuzhi because of 
their links to AchArya RaamAnujA and Swamy Desikan. 
Here are a few of the AchAryAs of the past 500 years 
upto now and their AchArya Links via SrI BhAshya ,
Rahasya Grantha and Bhagavath Vishaya paramparais:

1.Pancha Madha Bhajana Taata Desikan ( 1509-1591 C.E), 
SrI BhAshyAdhi KaalakshEpam under Sri Vangipuram
venkatAcchAr Swamy , who later adorned the throne of
SrI Ahobila Matam as the HH SrI Shashta PaarAnkusa Swamy).

2. SrI Lakshmi KumAra Taatha Desikan ( 1572-1632 C.E)
known for his devotion and Kaimakryams to Lord 
VaradarAjan of Kaanchi.

3.ArasANippAlai SrI Venkataadhri Swamy , the author of
Lakshmi Sahasram ; a nephew of Pancha Madha Banjana 
Taatha Desikan.

4. Few decades later , Upanishad BhAshyakArar , SrI 
Ranga RaamAnuja Muni , SaakshAth Swamy , Thirukkudanthai
Desikan ( Munitraya SampradhAya pravardhakar), SrIrangam
Andavan Paramparai, SrI PouNDarIkapuam Andavan paramparai
and in a separate line KozhiyAlam , KEdaNdapatti and 
Garudapuram Swamys and their paramparais including
SrI UtthamUr Swamy.

5. Most directly linked to Thirupputtkuzhi in recent 
times are: MahAmahOpAdhya Thirupputtkkuzhi SrI KrishNa TaathArya
MahA Desikan (B 1823 C.E), His primary disciples , 
SrI VilliampAkkam Swamy , PatttappA Swamy (known as
the Manthra Pushpam IyengAr at Hasthi Giri) , Ayyaa
SrI KrishNa TaathArya MahA Desikan , Thirupputtkkuzhi 
Nrusimha TaathArya MahA Desikan (Founder of Kaanchi
PeraruLAlan pathrikai)et al.

On this day (PurattAsi PoorAdam ) special because 
of the avathAram of SrI Thirukkudanthai Desikan ,
let us pay our tributes to the great AchAryAs 
with links to Thirupputtkuzhi.

Daasan , Oppiliappan Koil VaradAchAri SaThakOpan
