SATABHISHEKA RATNAMALA: Pub. by Srimad Andavan Sri
Poundarikapuram Swami Asramam, 43-A/13, Asram Road, Srirangam-
620006.

Rs.100.THE BOOK under review was published as a souvenir on the
occasion of the Satabhishekam (80th birthday) of Sri Gopala Maha
Desikan, also known as Sri Paravakottai Swami, of Sri
Poundarigapuram Ashram.

He belongs to the Acharyas of the Munithraya sect of the
Srivaishnava tradition, which is an offshoot of the Srirangam
Srimad Andavan Ashram.

The book is a treasure house of Visishtadvaita philosophy
comprising essays contributed by acknowledged authorities in the
field.

The book begins with the benediction and pearls of wisdom of the
pontiff. Photographs and rare portraits enhance the book.

The articles of Srimad Azhagiya Singar of Ahobila Math and
Srimad Rangapriya Swami contain profound and rare thoughts.

Sri N.S.Ramanuja Thathacharya Swami's essay explains the
Brahmasutras of Vyasa with simplicity.

The life of sages and the similarity between the philosophies of
the Tamil and the Sanskrit traditions have been pithily explained
by Sri U.V.Purisai Swami and Dr. Ananthanarasimhachariar
respectively.

An informative article on Thirukudanthai Desikan, meaning of
"Tattvamasi" by Sri Navalpakkam Varadachariar and the glory of
Sakkarathazhwar by Sri Koshtipuram Swami add to the wealth of
information in this volume.

The significance of customs and rituals has been clearly spelt
out by Sri Yagnavaraha Thathachariar.

Sri Kothimangalam Gopalachakravarthiar has expounded on
"Archavatharavaibhavam". Sri V.S.Karunakaran has given the
quintessence of the Sri Bhashya. Other scholars have dealt with
more than 40 subjects lucidly.

The gist of many of the important essays has been given in
English and a comprehensive essay in Kannada included for the
benefit of those who do not know Tamil.

The poems written by Sri Paravakottai Swami and the accounts of
the experience of those who have closely moved with him overwhelm
the reader.
The inclusion of Sri Thirukudanthai Desikan's monumental work,
"Srivathihamsambudacharya Stotra", which has not been printed so
far adds to the value of the book.

The research article on the Taittiriya Upanishad by Dr.
Anatharangachariar in English will be useful. Sri Narayana
Hiruthayam and Sri Lakshmi Hiruthayam from the Uttara Kanda of
Atharvanarahasya, included here must be learnt from preceptors to
benefit from them.

A supplement is also given along with the book containing few
articles.

The compiler of this volume Sri D.Rajagopalachariar and Sri V.N.
Vedantadesikachariar who saw it through the press deserve all
praise and gratitude for the neat get-up.

V. SRIVATSANKACHARIAR
