Srimathe ramanujaya Namaha
 
Surely this is the time to remember that great mahan and show our humble gratitude for the excellent service swamy has done to the Srivaishnava community.  Sri Karapangadu swami's sathApthi was celebrated in his thirumaligai in Mylapore, chennai on 6th March.  A wonderful book named "BrundAvanam" was released in this occassion with lots of interesting and informative facts (writeups and photos). 
 
Whatelse can we do for the grace these mahans have showered on all of us than saying "talai allal kaimArilOmE"
 
On this occassion a humble request to all bhagavatas. If any of you come across old books or upanyasa cassettes of Sri U.Ve. karapangadu swamy, Sri U.Ve.prathivadi bayangaram anangaracharya swamy, Sri U.Ve.Velukkudi Varadachariar swamy and other great stalwarts, please try to preserve them, convert them to digital copies so that they will stay as a treasure to generations to come.  If any help is required in this regard please let adiyongal know about the same.

Srimath Varavara Munaye Nama:


Dear SriVaishnava Bhagavathas,

Kindly accept adiyen's pranams. Today is Pankuni Punarvasu. Today in addition to being RamaNavami, is the avathara day of a great scholar of our sampradhayam, Nyayaa Vidhwan Sri.U.Ve. Karapankadu Swami. Swami was born on this day in 1906. Today is the 100th thirunakshathram of this great scholar who rode like a simham amongst scholars in the last century. Attached is a doc. which describes the life and works of this great acharyan. This document is also available in http://www.radioramanuja.com/acharyas/karpangadu/

In this month's issue of Geethacharyan a very nice article written by Karapankadu swami (in Tamil) is published. In very simple but precise terms, swami establishes why Divya Prabhandham is also equivalent to Vedhas. His choice quotes of pramana vakyams are very authentic and makes this an article to be treasured. Reading this article will improve one's perception about Divya Prabhandham. Needless to say, it must also improve one's gratitude to all the great acharyas who wrote commentary to the Prabhandhams and gave us all illiterate beings the divine necter of vedhas in such simple way. Adiyen will attempt to translate swami's article in English if time permits.

Adiyen
