Dear Swamin:
Sri Balaji has sent a mail informing us about the demise of Sri GhOshTipuram 
Ramanujachariar Swami.
drafted the following message for "Sri Ranga Sri". I do not wish to rush 
with a write up before getting the news confirmed. Please let me know if the 
information is correct. I would appreciate an early reply.

If true, please also convey my condolences to the breaved family.
You may want to post a write up about the Swami.

Proposed draft
===========
Dear Bhagavatas:
In the recent past, we had to conted with the loss of great savants like
Sri Mukkur Lakshmi Narasimhachariar Swami, Sri Seva Swami, Sri Srinidhi 
Swami
in quick succession and more recently of Sri Purisai Krsihnamachariar Swami.

Today, we got the shocking news about the demise of another stalwart of
our Satsampradayam Sri GhOshTipuram Ramanujachariar Swami.

I have had the bhaghyam of attending Kalakshepams of all of them while in
India and once again feel the pangs of personal loss.

Sri GhOstipuram Ramanujacharya Swami was a great scholar, held in high
esteem by all Yathisreshtas (of both Kalais) and others alike. His depth
of knowledge and the excellent manner of explaining the intricate nuances of
our Satsampradayam, to the understanding of even lay folks like us, were
matched only by his humility and and an almost a self - effacing demeanor.

His contribution at the "Aagama Conference" held at the Madras University
a few years ago was an eye opener for most of us. His in-depth knowledge of
the "Aagamas" was stunning, to say the least!

It is said that Vidya (knowledge) and Vinaya (humility), though expected
to be complimentary to each other, never go together.

Sri Ramanujachariar Swami was a living example of one who combined in his
personality both of them in an exemplary manner.

We, at "Sri Ranga Sri" feel the poignancy of his departure as much as the
members of his family do, also because he was adorning our Board of
Advisory Consultants (BAC).

He was for sometime in Mumbai and returned to his Coimbatore residence
only a while ago.  He was a great source of support for us. Sri Sadagopan
Iyengar Swami (Srikaryam Swami of our BAC) was in constant touch with him to
secure clarification of doubts referred to him.

Though we can take solace in the thought that these mahaans are only
joining the company of Nityasuris in Paramapada for rendering eternal 
service
(nitya kainkaryam) to the Lord, so far as we are concerned, it is 
unfortunate
that we are losing, one by one, such literati who can guide us through.

This only points to the urgency and need for us to rush to some of the
living legends, before it is too late, to seek the means for our own
emancipation through Prapatti.
