Dear Srivaishnavas,
With a heavy heart I am sharing the sad news of the demise of Sri TNS
Narayanan Swamin of Adyar, Chennai. A retired senior executive at a
Private company he chose to dedicate his life to the cause of
Srivaishnava service; he basically walked the talk by contributing heavily for
the VEDICS tsunami project despite his poor health. In fact, he was
instrumental in constructing a Srivaishnava temple in the midst of the
fishermen locality in Foreshore estate, Madras and conducting many
Srivaishnava events for the good of even the fishermen; he enjoyed
tremendous local support, much in the spirit of our poorvAchAryAs.
Adiyen is fortunate to have TNS Narayanan swamin as my athimber. He inspired
me to learn the Divyaprabandam, and used to cite the verse "En amudhinai kaNda
kangaL.." from Amalanadhippiran all the time, the very reason for the
beginning of my attachment to our glorious sampradayam. He swore by the inner
meaning of Saranagathi and was not fearful of anything (including his own
failing health), for he believed strongly in nammAzhwAr,s words.
On the one hand I am happily convinced that Lord Sriman nArAyaNa will have the
best plans for his committed devotee while on the other hand, I am terribly
feeling the loss of a good relative (was practically my second father) and a
great Srivaishnava.
adiyEn,
kidAmbi Soundararajan.
AzhwAr emperumAnAr jeeyar thiruvadigaLE Saranam.
ps: I have attached some of pictures of the Srinivasa temple constructed
in the slums of Foreshore estate, TNS Narayanan swamin can be seen in one of
the pictures holding a fishing net.
