Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

Dear Bhaktas, 

Adiyen had the mahabhagyam of participating in the grand 
Tirunkashatram celebration of H.H. Srimad Paravakottai Andavan Swami, 
the present Pontiff at Srimad Poundarikapuram Ashramam. Adiyen is at 
a loss of words to appreciate the outstanding efforts of Sriman T.R. 
Govindarajan Swamin for his superb organization of the celebration. 
His attention to every minute detail of this celebration was 
remarkable and this ensured a smooth flow of events. Adiyen cannot 
find sufficient superlatives to describe the Acharya Bhakti of 
ParamaIkanti SarvaBhouman, Sri Venkat Kanumalla Swamin. He took great 
pains to make available all the resources of the Ranganatha Temple 
for this sacred occasion. His performance of the Sudarshana Homam in 
strict accordance with the dictates of the Shastras was a sight for 
the Gods to see! Thank you is too small a word for the magnificent 
contributions of Sriman Venkat Kanumalla Swamin. Adiyen wishes to 
thank Sriman Sadagopan Swamin for leading the Parayanam of Sri Desika 
Dhivya Sahasranamam. Adiyen is most envious of the Desika Stotra 
Parayanam skills of Srimans Shyam Sreenivasan Swamin and Venkat 
Srinivasan Swamin. They did a magnificent job of leading the Ghosti 
under the watchful eyes and guidance of their father, U.Ve. Sri 
Srinivasan Swamin. It was a great honor to have the participation of 
this elderly and most scholarly Bhagavata for this blessed event. 
Special thanks are also due to to Sriman Prasad Swamin for leading 
the Veda Parayana Ghosti and Sriman Poondi Vijayaraghavan Swamin for 
the Desika Prabandha Parayanam. 

Adiyen is most thankful to all Bhagavatas, who took great pains and 
travelled considerable distance to take part in the celebration. It 
was most touching to see the participation of Shishyas from all the 
Matams/Ashramams (Parakala Matham, Ahobila Matham, Periya Ashramam, 
Poundarikapuram Ashramam, and Ashtanga yoga vigyAna mandiram-the 
Ashramam of H.H. Sri Rangapriya Mahadesikan Swami). Special thanks 
are due to Sri Krishna Kanumalla Swamin and Sri Aravamudhan Swamin 
for their tireless efforts of Kaimkaryam at the Madapalli. 

Even though all of us are located more than 8000 miles away from 
Srirangam, the limitless compassion of H.H. and the munificent grace 
of the Divine Couple enabled shishyas and abhimanis to partake of the 
Vaibhavam of H.H. in a fitting manner at Sri Ranganatha Temple, 
Pomona, NY.

DhanyOsmi,

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan
