Sri:
Dear RasikAs of
ThiruppAvai of ANDAL:
Dharmika Ratna Pradheepa
Sri U.Ve. N.R.
Krishnaswamy IyengAr lived amongst us from 1886-1966 C.E. He was an advocate in the City
of Maturai known for its cultivation and growth of Sanga Tamizh . He was
proficient in Sanskrit and in Tamil as well ;He served both as the Head of the
Maturai Tamizh Sangam and the Maturai Sanskrit Academy . He was a great
upanyAsakar in VaishNavam topics . His devotion for AruLiccheyalkaLs of AzhwArs
and Kavi Chakravarthy Kamban's RaamAyaNam and SatakOpar AndhAti was legendary
.
Dr.Hema Rajagopalan of
Bangalore is Swamy's grand daughter and asked me to translate the two books
released by him so that other students of TamiL can enjoy them . Inspite of
my shortcomings to handle such scholarly treatises , I accepted
Dr. Hema Rajagopalan's
invitation and here I am . adiyEn will do my best to highlight the
anubhavam of Maturai Sri NRK Swamy .U.Ve. Dr.V.N.Vedanta Desikan Swamy
has added special
commentaries in these two books as a rasikar of Sri NRK Swamy's scholarship
in ubhaya Vedantam . adiyen will cover them too .
The second book is the
anubhavam filled commentary of Swamy on Kavi Chakravarty Kambar on "SatakOpar
AndhAti " , a devotion-laden tribute of Kambar to Swamy NammAzhwAr composed in
one night in response to the command of the Lord of
Srirangam . Sri NRK Swamy
was introduced to the nectar of Kamba RaamAyaNam at the tender age of Seven
and memorized the whole text . Later in life , Swamy released a book on his
anubhavam of SatakOpar AndhAti . This is another scholarly
treatise , which brings
out the deep bhakti that Poet Kamban had for Swamy NammAzhwAr . Sri NRK
Swamy's book covers the esoteric meanings of the individual verses of SatakOpar
AndhAti .
adiyEn will post articles
on both these books of Sri NRK Swamy in the New Year !
