Dear Sri Balaji Narasimhan :

Your reasoning behind the Single PaadhukA of
HH Sri Aadhi VaNN SaThakOpa Jeeyar  is a great 
anubhavam . 

I thought I should share it with as many aasthikAs as possible .

As Nrusimha Jayanthi approaches , it is a wonderful
thought .

Let us reflect on the Taniyans of MahA KkaaruNika Jeeyar ( 1370-1443 C.E) ,
Sri Adhi VaNN SaThakOpa YathIndhra MahA Desikan , who had
Nrusimha SaakshAthkAram , recieved PrEksha Mantra UpadEsam
from the Lord Himself :

kEsavArya-KrupA-pAthram dheesamAmAdhi-guNArNavam
SrIsaThAri-yahteesAnAm dEsikEndhramaham bhajE 

prapadhyE niravadhyAnAm nishadhyAm guNasamphadham
SaraNam bhava-bheethAnAm SaThakOpa-Muneeswaram 

SrImath Azhagiya Singar Thiruvadi ,
Oppiliappan Koil V.SaThakOpan

Subject: [srivenugopala] Adivan Sadagopan's sole Paduka


> Dear Sadagopan Swamy,

> It is indeed sad to note that we have but one Paduka of our

> 
> As a regular visitor to Melukote, I have a special reverence for
> our founder Jiyar, who hails from this place, and who has
> further sanctified this Kshetram by the fact that His
> brindavanam is also here.
> 
> I was also blessed by our founder Jiyar, who bestowed his
> kindness upon me in 2003 by enabling me to participate in His
> Tadhi Aradanam.
> 
> When I think of the fact that there is but one of His Padukas
> with us, I feel sad, but in a way, this is Bhagavat Sankalpam.
> 
> Of all Gods, Narasimha is the greatest.
> 
> Of all Matams, Ahobilam stands out because it is the closest to
> Narasimha.
> 
> Of all Jiyars, Adivan Sadagopan is the greatest because He was
> the first, and has been blessed by both Malolan and Nammalvar.
> 
> Adivan Sadagopan is one without a second. He stands alone.
> 
> In this context, maybe, Malolan, to indicate this, has ensured
> that we have but one Paduka of Adivan Sadagopan to meditate
> upon.
> 
> Malolan also, I think, has only one Paduka attached to His
> Tiruvadi - at least, I have not been able to see the second with
> my eyes, and maybe you could enlighten me in this regard.
> 
> So, it is fitting that our one supreme Diety, and our one
> supreme Acharya, both sport but one Paduka!
> 
> It is only today I have learnt that there is only one Paduka of
> our founder Jiyar. But, understanding the significance of this
> has doubled my devotion, not halved it!
