" In this Mechanical
world , we have choices in all walks of life ,
starting from education
to life style . The life of the person ,
who chooses the best ,
is full of happiness and prosperity .
If such is the case for
materialistic life , is it not necessary for
one to choose the best
way to attain salvation ?
Our PoorvAchAryAs have
shown the right and best way for Mukthi ,
after thorough analysis
of various choices , i.e., Prapatthi
Yogam
( Total Surrender ) .
This is the gist of the articles written by Sri
K.Satakopan
Iyengar . He has chosen
to emphasize these views to the modern and
younger generations in aform that they would like
.
A layman , who wishes
to choose the best book to know about
our sampradhAya in a
simple manner but authoritative way would
choose this book only .
As such the choice is yours .
"
HH
Srimath Poundarikapuram Andavan : Sri GopAlArya MahA
Desikan:
******************************************************************************************
" It is very difficult to write such an
elaborate treatise without having
a deep knowledge in every aspect of our Sri
VaishNava sampradhaya ,
which has won universal acclaim as the best
.
The divine grace of Acharyas acquired
by Sri Satakopa IyengAr has given
him extraordinary spiritual strength to
write such a valuable treatise giving
a treaure of information to the readers .
His Acharya Bhakthi can be
compared
to that of Sri Madhurakavi and Sri
KooratthAzhwAr .
His deep devotion towards his Acharyas has
conferred on him invaluable
deep insights into
our scriptures and this
has been eminently reflected
in his treatise and the vocabulary adopted
by him in this book is marvellous
and unique . He desrves congratulations and
admiration of every SriVaishNava."
HH Srimath Srirangam Andavan
: Srimath Sri Ranga Ramanuja MahA Desikan
*****************************************************************************************************
" It is heartening that our
youngsters , especailly abroad , have started
questioning what our
Sampradhaya is . We need not go into the question
what it isd ue to . The fact
is that our boys and girls are very particular
about knowing our Sampradhaya
.
But the old timers , who have
mastered the subject , are unable to quench
the thirst of our children
due to the lack of mastery over the modern universal
medium . Hence finding a
person , who is a master in both the subject and English
,
is the need of the hour .
Sri Satakopan Iyengar Swamy
is one of the rare scholars , who is proficient both in
English and in the
SampradhAya as well . His Holiness Srimad Andavan feels happy
that a person has come
forward to guide our youngsters on the right path . HH is
doubly glad to know that Sri
Satakopan IyengAr Swamy is publishing a book with
55 articles on our
SampradhAya in English . We are sure that such a publication
will go a long way to
enlighten the modern readers ".
