Dear Sadagopan Swamy and other Desika Bhakthas
 
With the grace of Swami Desikan we were fortunate to participate in the Thirunkshtharam celebrations at Thoopul , Vilakkoli perumal  Koil and Varadar koil. At Thoopul sannandhi the celebrations had commenced from 24 September though I was able to join only from 1 October. The daily  Thirumanjanam of Swami Desikan (during the 10 days ) and Vilakoli perumal should be witnessed by every Shishyan .It is a great experience and Adeyen has been very fortunate that the Acharya has blessed me with numerous opportunities to partcipate . The  Thoppul Sannadhi Bhattar's Shradda in performing the thirumajanam assisted by Dr Sadagopan Thathachary  and Shri Suresh Sadagopan is something I look forward to witness  whenever I visit India .The kalakshepam after the Thirumanjanam delivered by Dr Sadagopan  on 1 October was moving as we were able to identify ourselves with his emotions for the great Acharya . The Thathiarathanai that followed the Thrirumanjanam was simple as it should be but apt for the occasion reflecting  life style of the Acharya.
On 3 October we participated in the piriya vidai which was grand as usual. In 2005, the rain had shortened the great function . This time around, we were fortunate that the weather was great. After spending a few hours with Lord Varadan, the Acharya witnessed the reciting of strotra mala  by a gathering of over 500 before coming down from hasthigiri for Piriya Vidai. I and others gathered in the temple were witness to the perspiration in Swami Desikan's  thiruumukam  after His eakantham with Lord Varadan .
I would encourage all shishyas of Desika sampradayam to time their visit to India to coincide with the Thirunakhtharam as it is an experience that is not to be missed. It is 10 days of celebration and one is at a loss to decide which Sannadhi to go. . The devotees at kanchi and Thoopul were all i immersed in singular thought and that was our Acharya . What better way to celebrate than be in such company .
 
 Dr Sadagopan Thathachary and his nephew  Shri Suresh are doing great service to Thoopul Sannadhii. I thank them for their efforts which requires sustained commitment for a cause that is difficult in a materialist world.
 
 
with best regards
 
Adeyen Ramanuja dasan
 
Nanganallur Venkatesh
