SrI:

 " VakthA SrOthA Vachana Vishaya: preeyathAm VENKATESA: "

 Dear Sri Vaishnavaas & Vaishnava AbhimAnis:

 Satyagalam is a beautiful village in Karantaka state on the banks of
 the sacred Cauvery river as she gently flows towards Her Lord at SrIrangam
.

 Swamy  Desikan (1268-1369 C.E)  chose this idyllic and peaceful village of
 Sathyagalam twice to stay during times of severe stress in his life . He
spent
 number of years there with His DevikaL , KumArar and prime disciple ,
 Brahma Tantra Svatantra Swamy performing grantha kaalakshEpams
 and worshipping Lord Varadaraja and PerumdEvi ThAyAr , who preside over
 the ancient temple at Sathyagalam. Perhaps Swamy  Desikan was reminded of
 His native place of Kaanchipuram , where Athtigiri AruLALa PerumAL
 ( Lord VaradarAjan ) and  MahA DEvi (PerumdEvi ThAyaar ) have
 their aasthAnams ,when he chose Sathyagalam for extensive stays .

 In Swamy  Desikan's sacred life ThUppul , Kaanchi, Thiruvaheendhrapuram ,
 Srirangam , SATHYAGALAM  and Melkote (ThirunArAyaNapuram)
 served as major anchor points. The vaibhavams relating to Swamy Desikan's
 stay at KarAtaka (mEl Naadu) are not familiar to many Desika BhakthAs.
 Here in KarnAtakA were born the powerful AbhIthi Sthavam and YathirAja
Sapthathi. > Here in Karnataka were born the two of the Five Taniyans that
we use ,
 when we salute Swamy Desikan . These two are : (1) SrI RaamAnuja DayA
 Paathram Jn~Ana VairAgya BhUshaNam---and (2) SrIman VenkatanATArya:
 KavitArkika kesaree----- .

 HH SrI Rangapriya Swamy of AshtAnga Yoga Mandir , Bangalore
 and HH Prakrutham ParakAla Matam Jeeyar of Mysore have dedicated
 themselves to glorify the Vaibhavam of Swamy Desikan  during His stay
 at Sathyagalam also known as as Sathyamangalam and Sakthimangalam
 during Swamy  Desikan's time .

 The power (Sakthi ) aspects of the combination of Upanishadic word Sathyam
 (Sathyam Jn~Anam Anantham Brahma " and MangaLam aspects
 celebrated in Maangalya Sthavam are profound , when one reflects on
 the name of this kshEthram as Sathya Mangalam .

 Both HH SrI Rangapriya Swamy and HH ParakAla Matham Jeeyars are patrons of
 many kaimkaryams at Sathyagalam , where Swamy  Desikan blesses us all
 in an unusual  standing posture ( ninRa ThirukkOlam ). The Aswattha tree on
 the banks of the river Cauvery , where He performed His daily anushtAnam
 (NithyAnushtAnam ) , the Koorma Peetam on which He sat  for His manthra
Japams
 are all at Sathyagalam from Swamy  Desikan's time until now for us to
connect to
 this great AchAryan .

 There was not much information available until now for the larger public
 about Sathyagala KshEthram .SrIman Lakshminarasimhan Sridhar,
 scion of two great AchArya Paramparais ( SrI Ahobila Matam and
 Srirangam PeriyANDavan Aasramam ) of Bangalore has aceepted
 the niyamanams (commands ) of HH RangapriyA Swamy and
 HH ParakAla Matam Jeeyar to construct a web site for Sathyagalam.

 The URL for this beautiful and informative web site is:

 http://www.sathyagalam.com

 The many images of the dhivya dampathis of Satyagalam worshipped by
 Swamy Desikan and the Ninra ThirukkOlam of Swamy Desikan and His
 Thirunakshathra Uthsavam celebration  attended by HH SrI RangapriyA Swamy
 and HH Parakaala Matam Jeeyar are beautiful to enjoy . The text assembled
there
 with clarity and creativity are remarkable.

 On behalf of the Aasthika Community of SrI VaishNavAs and abhimAnis,
 it is my pleasure to thank Sriman Sridhar for a most enjoyable web site
 on Sathyagalam KshEhtram ! We wish him success in creating many
 such web sites for the aasthika community !

 Please visit this delightful web site and recieve the blessings of our
AchAryAs  ,
 Swamy  Desikan , Lord Varadaraja PerumAl and PerumdEvi ThAyAr of
 Sathyagala KshEthram !
