----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Bhagavathas:

The most eagerly awaited celebrations of Sri Ramanuja Jayanthi are 
just around the corner and what could be a better occasion than this 
to recognize the dedication and devotion of an academically, 
professionally, and spiritually well accomplished scholar. This 
bhagavatha has a doctoral degree in electrical engineering and is a 
leading researcher at a renowned institution, holding two patents and 
numerous publications, and a true practitioner of Sri Vaishnava 
Sampradhayam.  Above all, his commitment to promote the awareness of 
Ramanuja philosophy through the electronic medium is unparalleled. 

This young scholar is an ideal role model for all generations to 
come. On the occasion of this year's celebrations of Sri Ramanuja 
Jayanthi (which falls on Chithirai, Adhirai ? Sunday, April 22, 
2007), Sri Ramanuja Mission Inc., of Srirangam Srimath Andavan 
Ashramam (SRI) is pleased to recognize the outstanding services of 
Sri Muralidhar Rangaswamy Swami for his authentic transliteration of 
numerous works of Purvacharyas.  A special mention must be made of 
his compilation and translation of various Purvacharyas' 
commentaries  on the magnum opus of Swami Sri Desikan's Padhuka 
Sahasram. In recognition of his efforts in providing authentic 
commentaries and also making them easily accessible throughout the 
world via the web, we confer the title of "Kainkarya Rathnam" on him. 

This title carries with it an honorary plaque and blessings from HH 
Sri Rangaramanuja Mahadesikan and will be presented during Sri 
Ramanuja Jayanthi celebrations at SSVT, MD, on Sunday, April 29th in 
the presence of Udayavar, Sri Venugopala Perumal, Sri Nrusimha 
Sudharshana Chakrath Azhwar, Poorvacharya Padukas and fellow 
bhagavathas with full honor.  SRI president Sri Poondi Vijayaraghavan 
will be presenting the award.   

We request fellow bhagavathas to join us in honoring Sri Muralidhar 
Rangaswamy Swami and in praying to Sri Ranganatha Divya Dampathi and 
Poorvacharya Padukas to bestow upon him and his family a long life 
and continued service in the years to come.

A brief biographical history of Sri Muralidhar Rangaswamy is 
presented below: 

Sri Muralidhar Rangaswamy received his Ph.D. degree in electrical 
engineering from Syracuse University, NY. Sri Rangaswamy is employed 
as a senior electronics engineer at the Air Force Research 
Laboratory, where he is responsible for leading research and 
development efforts in the area of radar signal processing. He has 
over seventy journal and conference publications in this field, in 
addition to two U.S. patents.  He is also a Fellow of the Institute 
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. 

Sri Rangaswamy was introduced to the Srivaishnava tradition by his 
grandfather, U.Ve. Sri K. Srinivasaraghavachariar Swami. H.H. Sri 
Rangapriya Mahadesikan Swami (in purvashramam) was responsible for 
initiating him into Sanskrit and Vedas. His association with the 
Sampradayam was nourished by the blessings of great luminaries such 
as H.H. Prakritham Jeeyar Swami of Parakala Matham (in his 
purvashramam), Vaikundavasi (late) U.Ve. Sri K.V. Santana 
Gopalachariar Swami, Vaikundavasi (late) U.Ve. Mukkur 
Lakshminarasimhachariar Swami, and U.Ve. Mahamahopadhyaya and Dr. A. 
Ananthanarasimhachariar Swami. 

Sri Rangaswamy remains forever indebted to and a humble servant of 
his Acharyas and HH Srimad Paravakottai Andavan Swami, the present 
pontiff at Srimad Poundarikapuram Andavan Ashramam.
