SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama:

Dearest all,

asmadhAchAryan His Holiness Srimad PaRavaakkOttai
Andavan Sri Gopaladesika Mahadesikan Swami is
completing his 25th year of SanyAsa Ashramam this Feb
14th 2007. This divinely glorious function is being
celebrated at Srirangam at the Ashramam. 

Maasi pooraadam Dwadasi day in the year 1982 we were
blessed to have Our Swami ascending the Peetam of
Srimad Poundarikapuram Andavan Ashramam. He has been
our guiding Pole Star in respect of Saasthric
behaviour, religious conduct, Scriptural learning, and
Vedic observances. He has encouraged the propagation
of Vedas through SaasthrAs, Sampradaya, and literary
publications and has been duly honouring the vedantic
scholars deserving recognition. 

We the numerous sishyas and abhimaanis deem it a
greatest privilege to celebrate this Glorious day of
25 years completion on this day that culminates as a
Silver Jubilee day on the 14th Feb 2007- with
festivities like Veda PaarayaNam, Honouring of
VidwAns, religious discourses, and release of
invaulable publicatis, etc... 

As Swami Desika says, we can not pay pack for what
Acharya has done to us- in fact, even the Lord can not
pay back for acharya has done to us... Let us just pay
our obeisance, praise his kalyANa guNAs, utter his
name and adhere to His teaching to the best extent
possible. 

One for sure- is Trikala sandhyAvandhanam- If we need
to show our gratitude to Swami, it is mere performance
of daily thrikala sandhyAvandhanam without fail. 

I am attaching under files section- the Invitation...
which is a feast to the eyes. I received the
invitation yesterday from our Sri Muralidhar
Rangaswamy Swami and Sri Anbil Ramaswamy Swami who are
the erudite sishyas of the Ashramam. 

Please make yourselves available to attend the
celebration on the 14th February.

The file is under the name - "Swami's Ascent to the
AsthAna Silver Jubilee Celebration"

We owe it to ourselves; we owe it to the Great hoary
traditional lineage of the Acharyas, in whose line our
present Acharya has come, strictly adhered to it, and
illuminated it to be the light house to all of us, the
ordinary souls, needing enlightenment. 

One can only drop tears of joy and anubhavam immersing oneself in
Swami's divinity, glorious kalyANa guNAs, ansuhtAnam,
jnAna, bhakti, vairAgyam and above all His tremendous
compassion, vaasthsalyam and dhayALu guNA on even on
incorrigble erring sishyas like adiyEn... 

One can imagine His dayA, if He showers His dayA even
on adiyEn... rest assured you are saved as well.


adiyEn would like to conclude with VaikuNtavaasi, Sri
Seva Swamy's sthothra on His Holiness:

He is firmly rooted in Satsampradaaya (Sat sampradaaya
Siddhah)

Dhishnah)

He is like a long standing friend and relative (
