----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Bhagavathas:
The most eagerly awaited celebrations of Sri Ramanuja Jayanthi are
just around the corner and what could be a better occasion than this
to recognize the dedication and devotion of an academically,
professionally, and spiritually well accomplished scholar. This
bhagavatha has a doctoral degree in electrical engineering and is a
leading researcher at a renowned institution, holding two patents and
numerous publications, and a true practitioner of Sri Vaishnava
Sampradhayam. Above all, his commitment to promote the awareness of
Ramanuja philosophy through the electronic medium is unparalleled.
This young scholar is an ideal role model for all generations to
come. On the occasion of this year's celebrations of Sri Ramanuja
Jayanthi (which falls on Chithirai, Adhirai ? Sunday, April 22,
2007), Sri Ramanuja Mission Inc., of Srirangam Srimath Andavan
Ashramam (SRI) is pleased to recognize the outstanding services of
Sri Muralidhar Rangaswamy Swami for his authentic transliteration of
numerous works of Purvacharyas. A special mention must be made of
his compilation and translation of various Purvacharyas'
commentaries on the magnum opus of Swami Sri Desikan's Padhuka
Sahasram. In recognition of his efforts in providing authentic
commentaries and also making them easily accessible throughout the
world via the web, we confer the title of "Kainkarya Rathnam" on him.
This title carries with it an honorary plaque and blessings from HH
Sri Rangaramanuja Mahadesikan and will be presented during Sri
Ramanuja Jayanthi celebrations at SSVT, MD, on Sunday, April 29th in
the presence of Udayavar, Sri Venugopala Perumal, Sri Nrusimha
Sudharshana Chakrath Azhwar, Poorvacharya Padukas and fellow
bhagavathas with full honor. SRI president Sri Poondi Vijayaraghavan
will be presenting the award.
We request fellow bhagavathas to join us in honoring Sri Muralidhar
Rangaswamy Swami and in praying to Sri Ranganatha Divya Dampathi and
Poorvacharya Padukas to bestow upon him and his family a long life
and continued service in the years to come.

A brief biographical history of Sri Muralidhar Rangaswamy is
presented below:
Sri Muralidhar Rangaswamy received his Ph.D. degree in electrical
engineering from Syracuse University, NY. Sri Rangaswamy is employed
as a senior electronics engineer at the Air Force Research
Laboratory, where he is responsible for leading research and
development efforts in the area of radar signal processing. He has
over seventy journal and conference publications in this field, in
addition to two U.S. patents. He is also a Fellow of the Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
Sri Rangaswamy was introduced to the Srivaishnava tradition by his
grandfather, U.Ve. Sri K. Srinivasaraghavachariar Swami. H.H. Sri
Rangapriya Mahadesikan Swami (in purvashramam) was responsible for
initiating him into Sanskrit and Vedas. His association with the
Sampradayam was nourished by the blessings of great luminaries such
as H.H. Prakritham Jeeyar Swami of Parakala Matham (in his
purvashramam), Vaikundavasi (late) U.Ve. Sri K.V. Santana
Gopalachariar Swami, Vaikundavasi (late) U.Ve. Mukkur
Lakshminarasimhachariar Swami, and U.Ve. Mahamahopadhyaya and Dr. A.
Ananthanarasimhachariar Swami.
Sri Rangaswamy remains forever indebted to and a humble servant of
his Acharyas and HH Srimad Paravakottai Andavan Swami, the present
pontiff at Srimad Poundarikapuram Andavan Ashramam.
