SrI:
 
Dear Swamy  Desika BhakthAs:
 
Earlier I had invited your attention to the plans for conducting
the 181st (Third Shastiabdha Poorthy Mahthsavam ) of one of
the most revered AchAryAs blessed by the Dhivya Dampathis of
Kaanchipuram . He is Thirupputkuzhi SrI KrishNa TaatArya MahA
Desikan .
 
This month's Nrusimha PriyA has an excellent artilce on His
Vaibhavam . adiyEn is sharing the highlights of that article to illustrate
how indebted we are to this MahA Desikan for His kaimakryams
for  the protection and enrichment of VisishtAdhvaitha Darsanam ,
the contributions for the enduring NithyArAdhanam at ThUppul
NiigamAntha MahA Desikan Sannidhi , His untiring contributions
to the administration of Lord VaradarAjA's historic temple at Kaanchi.
 
adiyEn invites you to support the forthcoming 181st
Thirunakshathram at Kaanchi .
 
Please send your samarpaNams for the Chathur Veda PaarAyaNam ,
Dhivya Prabahndha PaarAyaNam , Vidvath Sathas and TadhiyArAdhanam to:
 
SrIman P.V.Satakopa TatachArya Swamy
8B-Sannidhi Street
Little Kanchipuram 631 503
Tamil Nadu , India
 
Please attend the Uthsavam during those days at
SrI Thiruppukkuzhi Swamy's aasramam at SrI RangarAja
Veedhi at Kaanchipuram. The next Shastiyabdha poorthy
would be in the year 2063 . Let us join this uthsavam and
celebrate the blessed memory of the great ViashNavite
AchArya from an illustrious kulam and beneficiary of
the extraordinary blessings of Kaanchi dhivya dampathis.
  
Here are some excerpts from that article in Nrusimha PriyA
about SrI KrishNa TaatArya MahA DEsikan:
 
1. AvathAram: SvabhAnu Year , Iypaasi Month, AaslEshA
    nakshathram ( Year 1823 C.E).
 
2. Geneology:The great AchAryan ,  Sri Pancha Matha Bhanjana
Taata Desikan     ( 1509-1591 C.E) belongs to the Thirumalai Nambi
vamsam (SrI Saila Vamsam) , which traces itself to Swamy  Naathamuni  
Himself . The Pancha Mathams (Five  mathams)  that this AchAryan
defeated to establish the superiority of  VisishtAdhvaitham were
Kapila , KaNAtha, Sukha , Jaina and Saiva mathams . His sishyar
was the Upanishad BhAshyakArar , SrI RangarAja Muni , who
gave us the VisishtAdhvaithic commentary of the Upanishads.
 
2.1: The SveekAra Puthrar (adopted son) of Panmcha Matha Bhanjana
Taata Desikan was Lakshmi KumAra Taata Desikan ( 1572-1632 C.E).
He belonged to the 21st generation of Swamy  Naatha Muni.His
Bhagavath Kaimkaryam at Lord VaradarAjan's temple are illustrious
and His descendants carry on those kaimkaryams even today at
the famous Kaanchi Temple.
 
2.2: In the 6th Paramparai of  SrI Lakshmi KumAra Taata Desikan
was born SrI Thirupputkkuzhi KrishNa TaatArya MahA Desikan
(TPK SWamy ) in the year 1823 C.E.
 
3. TPK Swamy 's Jaathaka Vaibhavam: In the astrological chart (Jaathakam)
of  Swamy , Bhudhan and Guru were ascendant and Sukran is at His
own home . That rare combination of grahams were intrepreted to
indicate the birth of a great AchAryan with "SarvathO Mukha
PaaNDithyam " or scholarship in every VidhyA SthAnaam like
Sarva Tantra Svatantra NIgamAntha MahA Desikan of ThUppul.
 
4. Infancy : As a young child , Swamy would listen with intensity to
Veda ParAyaNam , SthOthra recitals and AzhwAr prabhandham recitals
at his home and outside . As a toddler , Swamy will join with joy
the KaalakshEpa ghOshtis and places where Bhagavath AarAdhanam
was taking place.
 
5. Anugraham of Lord VaradarAjan: On completion of its first year of
birth , the father of TPK Swamy took the child to Lord VaradarAjan's
Sannidhi . The infant looked at the Lord and with tears of joy in
his eyes was lost in meditation of the Lord . All devotees around
the child were overcome with emotion at the sight of this future
AchAryan.Through His Archaka , Lord VaradarAjan blessed
the child to gain SarvathO MUkha PaaNDithyam.
 
6. PerumdEvi ThAyAr's anugraham: Next , the child was taken to
ThAyAr Sannidhi.Thechild was lost in meditation of ThAyAr for
more than an hour.As ThiruvArAdhana Samayam approached ,
the father  took the child home. Interrupted from its joyous
meditation on PerumdEvi ThAyAr, the child cried all the way
home and did not stop crying.The Father took the child back to
ThAyAr Sannidhi. There the child was given the milk presented to
ThAyAr . On drinking that sacred milk, the child stopped crying.
People around were moved by that extraordinary sight and called
the child another Lakshmi KumArar ( The original Lakshmi KumAra
Taata Desikan was blessed by MahA Lakshmi presiding at
Thirukkudanthai temple as SrI KomaLavalli ThAyAr ).
 
7. VidhyA  GrahaNam ( acquisition of VidhyAs): The extraordinarily gifted child
quickly mastered Veda , Dhivya prabhandha adhyayanam , Saasthrams ,
SangItham , yOgam , Silpam , Bharatha Saasthram , JyOthisham and
Dharma Saasthram.Many future AchAryAs learnt from this talented
young AchAryan . One of them was the scholar, who adorned the throne
Of AhObila Matam with the nAmam of PiLLaippAkkam Azhagiya Singar.
 
8. Grantha NirmANam: Many brilliant and deep granthams were composed
by TPK Swamy as an AchAryan and He won in many important debates
and vanquished those , who contested the doctrines of VisishtAdhvaitham
as established by AchArya RaamAnuja and Swamy Desikan .Many Tarka
SrikOsams and Poorva MeemAmsa SrIkOsams were blessed to us by
TPK SWamy.Two of the granthams that established firmly the meanings
of NaarAyaNa Sabdham are Nathva Chandrika and Paramukha sapEtikai.
These are recognized as precious treasures . 
 
9. Kaimkaryam at ThUppul Swamy Desikan Sannidhi:The Sannidhi
of our ThUppul KUlamaNi was taken over by ill wishers to our
SampradhAyam and for many years , Swamy  Desikan Sannidhi was
closed and stayed locked without nithya  AarAdhanam. It was a sad
period. TPK Swamy sued the occupiers at the Chengalpat court
and won the rights of administration of our ThUppul Kula MaNi's
sannidhi . TPK Swamy repaired the temple that had fallen into
disuse and restarted nithya aarAdhanams and uthsavams for
Swamy  Desikan.
 
10 . We will always be grateful to this AchArya Saarvabhouman
for many of His Kaimkaryams . One of the most memorable among
them is the MangaLAsAsana Kramam on Swamy Desikan's
Thirunakshathram days at Lord VaradrAjan's Hasthigiri . This was
restarted after 60 years of interruption. At the end of this MangaLAsAsanam ,
Lord VaradarAja and Swamy Desikan arrive at abhishEka MaNTapam 
every year and recieve the shower of flowers (Pushpa Vrushti) and then 
Swamy  Desikan returns reluctantly to His sannidhi in ThUppul.
adiyEn wrote earlier about the order of slOkams from Swamy Desikan's
SrI Sookthis during the occasion of this special MangaLAsAsanam
on PurattAsi SravaNam day at Kaanchi.
 
May we be blessed by the  memory of SrI TPK Swamy and
support the upcoming 181st  Thirunakshathram at Kaanchi !
 
adiyEn appeals to you to contact SrI P.V.SatakOpa TatAchArya 
Swamy at Kaanchi in the context of support for this important
kaimkaryam and recieve SrI TPK Swamy's and Kaanchi
Dhivya Damapthi's blessings on this occasion.
