>> The wealth bequeathed to us by our poorvacharyas is
>> measured not in cash or kind, but in gnyaanam.  And
>> it is not just ordinary gnyaanam, it is knowledge of
>> the absolute, that which delivers us from samsaara.
>>
>> gnyaanaat mokshah it is said, and lest we forget the
>> immortal words of vedanta desika - astime hastishaila
>> agre, vastu paitaamaham dhanam.  Our present day
>> acharyas are the guardians and transmitters of this
>> great "poorvaachaaryaaLudaya sotthu".
>>
>> Sri Sadagopan has correctly pointed out how dear the
>> satyamangala kshetram is to sri Rangapriya swami, and
>> prakrtham sri Parakala swami.  Vedanta Desika is not
>> with us in vibhava avatara today, but pilgrimage to
>> the lands where he spent several years of his long
>> life is the closest we can get, to experiencing his
>> avatara vaibhavam.  Surely, none of us here lived
>> during the time of vedanta desika and came into contact
>> with him, for if that were so we would have attained
>> moksha and not been reborn into this present janmam!
>>
>> Satyamangalam is the way to experience desika, just as
>> thirunarayanapuram is the way to experience ramanuja.
>
>> Satyakalam, where swami desikan spent over 12 years of
>> his illustrous life, where is found the sacred srikoorma
>> peeTham (seat of desikan's anusthanam and upanyaasams),
>> where is found the shrine of swami's beloved deva perumaL,
>> and wherefrom emerged desika's testament to courage and
>> faith - the abheetistavam... may this satyakalam continue
>> to be a place of inspiration for succeeding generations
>> of srivaishnavas, and may we show our generous support
>> to the kainkaryams towards this kshetram and to the
>> acharyas who lead those efforts.
>>
>> rangapriyam mama gurum Saranam prapadye
>> srimate rangapriya mahadeshikaaya namaH

>> sri Rangapriya daasan,
