SrI: 

Dear Swamy Desika BhakthAs: 

Today is a Subah Dinam .Today, we will start together 
to study the most sacred Paasurams of Swamy Desikan's 
Tamil Prabhandhams. The highest quality of Tamil poetry ,
the deep VaishNavite doctrines housed in these paasurams
are intermingled in them. To learn about them is a rare
SoubhAgyam . 

The entire Desika Prabhandham has been transliterated by 
Thirukkudanathai SrIman Sampath Rengarajan and 
SrIman ParthasArathy Dileepan few years back . This text
prepared by them has been housed by SrIman Venkat Raghavan
in his comprehensive archives (SrI Vaishnavam.com) . The URL is:

http://www.srivaishnavam.com/desikaprabandam/dp_index.html 

SrIman Venkat Raghavan of Bahrain has provided brief introductions
to each of the Desika Prabhandhams . He has also broken down 
the compound words of the Prabhandham to individual units for 
easy reading . Besides the Tamil Text , Romanized, Sanskrit, Kannada ,
Telegu and MalayALam versions of the text have also been added by 
SrI Venkat Raghavan. 

In the above URL, You will have the BhAgyam of the Sevai of 
Swamy Desikan in His magnificent RathnAngi with 12 Urdhva PuNDrams , 
brilliant gem-studded crown , Sacred thread and rathna Kavacham . 
This is the RathnAngi presented some 35 years ago by Thirukkudanthai 
HH SrImath Andavan. If one is fortunate to be at ThiruvahIndhrapuram on 
PurattAsi SravaNam day ( October 5 this year) , You would be blessed with 
the darsanam of Swamy Desikan adorning this RathnAngi and hear all 
SrI Sookthis of Swamy Desikan as He enjoys His Thirunakshathram celebrations. 

Such a RathnAngi is now being prepared for Swamy Desikan's dear Lord ,
SrI DevanAthan. 

In the next posting (108th in the series of ThiruvahIndhrapuram RathnAngi
Kaimkaryam postings) , adiyEn will start the translation of the individual
(405) Paasurams of Desika Prabhandham .

May the Dhivya Dampathis of ThiruvahIndhrapuram bless this Kaimkaryam
and bring it to completion ! 

Swamy Desikan ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam ,
Daasan , Oppiliappan KOil VaradAchAri Sadagopan
