Dear Prapatti Group Members: That Swami Nigamantha Maha Desikan has a special place in all our hearts is indeed a fait accompli. Just the mention of Swami's name brings an exhilaration that is indescribable. Swami's life exemplified the true spirit of Vedanta viz. simple living and high thinking. Oftentimes I wish I had lived during Swami's time and had an opportunity to serve him directly. Any amount of reading or listening about Swami does not reach a level of satiety (Thevittadha Inbham). Just the mention of Swami's name draws eager ears. In that respect Sadagopan's article on Swami has proved yet another fountain of joy that drenched all of us in happiness. I would like to join Bharadwaj and P. Dileepan in praying to the Lord that He inspires all of us (like Sadagopan) so that we continue to dig the treasure hidden in our Acharya's life and teachings and thus enrich our lives in Lord's service.
