the only son of Sri SrIrama DesikAcchAr Swamy , is my classmate.
Swamy was my First AchAryan . adiyEn recalls in great detail
the bent head of Swamy writing on the many granthams ( SrImad
Rahasya Thraya Saaram, ChillaRai Rahasyangal, Swamy Desikan's
sthOthrams and Desika Prabhandham ) each time adiyEn stopped by
to talk to my class mate.It is adiyEn's bhAgyam to translate now
