SrI:
Dear BhakthAs
:
Karnataka is a special region
for SrI VaishNavaas due to
the association with the
Thiruvadi dust of AchArya RaamAnuja ,
Swamy ParAsara Bhattar ,
Nanjeeyar , Swamy Desikan ,
Brahma Tantra ParakAla
Matam Jeeyar I , KumAra VaradAcchAr
Swamy and SrI Adhi VaNN
SaThakOpa Jeeyar of Ahobila Matam
and other present day
AchAryAs .
The fabled Karnataka Region
has wonderful Sri VaishNavite Temples
from one end to the other ,
many of which are not well known . The Ones
at Thiru NaarAyaNapuram (
Melkote) , Uduppi , Chenna Kesava PerumAL
Temple near Hasan ,
AprEmaya
Temple at Doddanallur attract many
devotees . The ArchA
Murthis worshipped
at these temples are most beautiful and the alankArams done for them by the
Bhattars are a treat
for the eye . Located often
on the banks of life giving Cauvery river ,
these temples are
surrounded by extraordinary natural beauty .
We are indebted to Sri
Sridhar Lakshminarasimhan of Bangalore
for introducing us to some 20
Sri VaishNavite temples of Karnataka
in the first pass and create
a web site that contains information on
Sthala PurANam , Images of
the Deities worshipped and Travel directions
as well as the contacts
(Archakars or Trustees ) at these temples for
a visitor .
Hearty Congratulations are
due to Sri Sridhar for his artistic creativity
and tireless work in
assembling all these multimedia Data . More coverage
is being planned by Sri
Sridhar during the coming weeks .
Sri Sridhar has already
created wonderful CD ROMs on Thiruneermalai ,
Thuppul and a pictorial
study of Swamy Desikan's Vaibhavam
(Chithra Desikeeyam)
.
May the Dhivya Dampathis
bless Sri Sridhar with more Kaimakrya Sri and
shower him
with all Their choicest blessings
!
