Sri RAmajayam
SrimathE GopAla DEsika MahA DEsikAya Namaha


Dear BhAgavathAs,
                 AdiyEn would request BhAgavathAs to
attend the 87th TN completion celebrations of Acharya
Sarva boumar Parvakottai Srimad Andavan, Sri GopAla
Desika MahA DEsikan Swami, at Srirangam on 10th April
2008 (Sarvajit-Panguni-28-Rohini, Thursday).  

Greatness of an AchArya
------------------------
In the 3rd Athikaram of Thirukural, there are 10
Thirukkurals which talks about DinAcharyas and
SadAcharyas (verses 21 to 30).  AdiyEn have sampled a
few below, to extoll the greatness of an AchArya

Ozhukatthu NeethAr Perumai Vizhupathu
VEndum panuval thunivu! (21)

The purpose of Spiritual literature is to extoll the
greatness of a SanyAsi who is stooped in cleaniness 

ThuranthAr Perumai ThunaikUrin vaiyathu
IrantArai Enni Kondarru (22)

It is not possible to measure the greatness of a
SanyAsi, it is like an attempt to count the number of
births and deaths on Earth.

Irumai vagaitherindhu Indhu PUndAr
Perumai PiRakirru Ulaghu (23)

One who has researched the nature of mortal and
immortal worlds (Immai-Marumai, Loka-Moksha) and
undertakes Dharma is the greatest!

The rivers are sacred not just because of their
association with the sacred feet of the Lord, but its
association with AchAryas who sanctify and bathe in
such rivers.   Even our temples are called Divya DEsam
due to Mangalasasanam by Nityasuris who came for us as
AzhwArs and AchAryas and showed us the Lord and how to
attain "true & eternal" happiness.

Such being the greatness of the AchAryas to think of
them, and presenting ourself at their feet/service for
katAksham, consuming Sreepadha theertham will not only
remove us of sins but provides us the strength to
pursue a life of happiness with "JnAna, AnushtAna &
VairAghya".

AdiyEn have received the greatest joy in associating
myself with this "MahAn" and "NadamAdum Deivam"
ParavakOttai Srimad Andavan, and would like to request
Bhagavathas to experience this MahAn's blessings on
Swamy's 87th TN completion.

AdiyEns Pranamam and eternal gratitude to SampradAya
Prachara Durantharar U.Ve.Sri Madhavakkanan Swamy (and
outstanding Bhagavathas AdiyEn had been blessed to
experience).....Lets make advance reservations, and
looking forward to your joyous presence at our MahAns
TN MahOthsvam.....

Vachika Dosha Kshanthavya

AdiyEn Sri RAmAnuja DAsan,

Sudarsana DAsOsmi
(Vankipuram Innamboor Parthasarathy Sampath Sudarsan)
