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
