Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: Dear Sri Venkatesan, Humble pranams to you. Very nice article. No one,following a TennAchArya Sampradayam,can afford to forget(even in dreams)Sri PiLLai lOkAchArya and his contribution. I would say that the entire credit goes to him regarding TennAchArya sampradAyam. Although I got "little" familiar with Sri Vachana BhUShaNam and other works only in the last few months,I have been totally mesmerised by his writings and he always pops up in my mind. But I'm far from writing great/simple posts on his writings(don't have that much experience). But I always wondered how he could write so crisp and sharp and brief yet packing with great doctrines! Wish all the bhAgavathas a Happy celebration of Sri PiLLai LOkAchAryar's Tirunakshatram.
