Dear SrIman Sadagopan Iyengar
:
At the outset , it is not my intention to embarass
you with this sincere
note of appreciation for your most recent article ,
"The Crown Jewels".
This essay is indeed a crown jewel. Many people
will be happy to have
presented one such article . In your case , the
thoughts flow like Ponni
at TalaikkAvEri . Our prayers are for the Lord
to keep this nourishing flow
continue for years
to come . I am sure my sentiments are shared
by
one and all , who
are prieveleged to read your essays on SrI SampradhAyam.
Your erudite postings are welcomed and
enjoyed as gourmet items around
the globe . You are a sishyan of whom your
AchAryan would be proud of
for the tireless kaimakryams that you are
performing to spread the tenets
of our siddhAntham .The VaishNava community owes a great deal of debt
for your scholarly ,
pertinent , copious and profound essays that flow touching
both the shores of VedAntham. Thank you and thank you
very much .
Your reference to the ongoing RathnAngi Kaimkaryam
is very much appreciated
by all the participants of this major Kaimkaryam.
Some thirty Six years ago ,
the illustrious seer , Vaikunta Vaasi HH
Thirukkudanthai Andavan presented
the RathnAngi for our AchArya Saarvabhouman ,
Swamy Desikan at
Thiruvaheendhrapuram .
Today , the devotees are in the middle of preparing
the Rathna Kavacham ( angi) for
the DEVATHAA SAARAVBHOUMAN to be presented by THE
ACHAARYA SAARVA
BHOUMAN .
The original estimates for constructing the
kavacham has been far exceeded
with today's price of gold and the PadhmarAgha gem
stones . We are all
struggling to arrive at the finish line for this
Kaimkaryam during the VasanthOthsavam
for Lord DEvanAtha in May-June. We are short
of funds Please join and help .
Please contact me about details on how you can participate.
Daer SrIman SadagOpan IyengAr : Your article

thoughts about the Lord's RathnAngi as niyamanam
from Swamy
Desikan to His Bhaktha Kotis. adiyEn will share
soon additional thoughts from
Swamy Desika RathnAngi Sathakam , a set of
100 verses by Vaikunta Vaasi
SrI Aaasukavi Srinidhi Swamy , the renowned brother
in law of HH the 43rd Jeeyar of
Ahobila Matam in my next posting .adiyEn is
requesting U.Ve. Nadaathur
KaruNAkaran Swamy , the scholarly son of SrI Aasau
Kavi Swamy to
compose a set of illuminating slOkams ( ashtakam ,
Vimsathi , PanchAsath
