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 dasan
Nanganallur Venkatesh
