Srihi:

Respected Bhagawathas,

Humble pranams to you all. Today is 7th Feb 2004 and Thirunakshatram of H H 
Rangapriya Swami Ji of Ashtanga Yoga Vigyan Mandiram, Bangalore.It is being 
celebrated today at Srimath Srirangam Andavan Ashram situated at Jayanagar, 
Bangalore.

H H is well known figure among our acharyas and I can say he is a bond between 
all acharyas of our Vaishnava Sampradaya , He is present on all occasion let it 
be the Thirunakshatram of H H Srimath Andavan Swami of Srimath Srirangam 
Andavan Ashram or H H Parakala Swami of Parakala Muttham or H H Azagiasingar of 
Ahobila Mutt.

I had heard about this Acharyan but did not have opportunity to meet him until 
July last year. As you all know I am the resident representative of Tamil 
Religious Magazine Opera Darussalam, I was covering asked by my father in law 
that will I be interested in covering an event at my Mother in Laws native in 
Kathenahalli in Hassan District in Karnataka. The event was Five Lakh Gayathri 
Japam Homam to commemorate the Completion of 50 Lakh Gayathri Japam done by an 
Individual Sriman Srinivasa Iyengar of Kathenahalli. And my Joy knew no bound 
when I came to know that HH Parakala Jeer and HH Rangapriya Swami are gracing 
the occasion.
We travelled in Car and reached Kathenahalli and then immdiately met H H 
Parakala Swami and took few snaps of HH doing aradhani to Hyagreeva, then asked 
the people for HH Rangapriya Swami. I was told he is not well and yet to 
arrive. Then finally he arrived in spite of his ill health. I was drawn towards 
swami ji's Divya Tejus, Introduced my self and he blessed me .Both acharyas 
participated in Poorna Ahuthi and they gave beautiful Anugruha Bashanam. I was 
drawn by his bashnam. Then the event was published in magazine and I wanted to 
meet Swami Ji and present him the article written by me.  I took my wife's 
maternal Uncle Sri Sampath Iyengar of Hanumanth Nagar ( He has a Iyengar's 
Bakery ) and is know to Swami, Me,Sampath Mama and his Vedaparayan Guru Sri 
Sridharan ( Incidently he is the bother in law of HH Mysore Anadavan and Uncle 
of Mr. Sundar Kidambi of Boston USA, Sundar anna is identified by his useful 
site www.prapatti.com( where in you can find all Shostrams housed a
nd I can tell this site is a treasure house of Shostarams). Then swami Ji read 
the article and blessed me.

Then I visited the ashram frequently. Even though I am a Ahobila Muttham shysya 
I am known to Rangapriya Swami as   H H KaTandethi Anadavans Ellu Peran.

Then My bhandhu from Singapore Sriman Haresh wanted to get his Panchsamskaram 
done and when we broached the subject Swami readily agreed. Then on 24th of 
January 2004, He did Panchsamskaram to Haresh. I like his teachings and I can 
call him Modern day Ramajua ( Sorry If I have hurt anybody by giving this 
statement).

Every Muttham has web site and H H Rangapriya Swami did not have dedicated web 
site, Then I Haresh and Mr.Mani Varadharajan decided to dedicate a web site for 
HH Rangapriya Swami. Then Haresh  told me register the domain name only, since 
I was leaving for Chennai on official work , I instructed my Service providers 
for domain registration and to my surprise  they also allotted the web space 
from my resellers account. Haresh checked for web space in Singapore and it was 
costly  and I informed Haresh that web space is also allotted by the company 
due to communication gap and Haresh told that it is Perumal and Acharyas 
thiruullam so yesterday night Haresh uploaded the site after I sent the 
password etc.

On the of H H Rangapriya Swami's Thirunakshatram I , Haresh if Singapore and 
Mr.Mani Varadharajan of USA dedicate the site www.rangapriya.org. 

The site is not fully loaded as time was short and we wanted to launch the site 
today it self.

I was supposed to cover this Thirunakshatram for the Gopura Darisanam Magazine, 
unfortunately I am still struck at Chennai. I have one appeal any of the Swamis 
shysya who is attending the function and has taken Pictures of the celebration 
, I request to lend me the pictures , I will scan and return the pictures. Also 
can give the brief description of the function I will be grateful.

As usual your Flowers or Brickbat is welcomed.
