Dear BhakthAs of AchArya RaamAnujA :
Sri Ramanuja Mission is doing yeoman service
(release of Swamy Desikan's shtothra CD ROMs
and many other kaimkaryams)in supporting many
Sri Vaishnavite causes dear to Sri Bhagavath
RaamAnuja SiddhAntham .
The anchor AchArya Purushan for this great
Munithraya SampradhAyam is Thirukkudanthi
Desikan .His devotion for Sri KomaLavalli
SamEtha Sri AarAvamudhan is exemplary .
Out of that devotion was born the great
"Sri AparyApthAmrutha DhyAna ShOpAnam "
modeled after ThiruppANAzhwAr's AmalanAdhipirAn
and Swamy Desikan's own Sri Bhagavath DhyAna
ShOpAnam .
The rare Sri Sookthi on Lord AarAvamudhan by
HH THirukkudanthai Desikan was given to me by
Thirukkudanthai Sri Rengarajan , whose uncle is
a descendant of Thirukkudanathai Desikan .
AdiyEn had the bhAgyam of posting a series of
articles on the 13 slOkams of HH Thirukkudanthai
Desikan's auspicious Sri Sookthi in Bhakthi archives
over a time period of October 1997 to May 30, 1999.
May I refer the readers to these postings to
pay reverence to HH Thirukkudanthai Desikan
on this Thirunakshathram day ? The HayagrIva
Archai worshipped by HH Thirukkudanthai Desikan
is currently at PoundarIkapuram Aasramam .
Sri Rengarajan has written (Oct 20, 1997 )
archives about this venerable ArchA Moorthy
and his family connections to Thirukkudanthai
Desikan .
Here are the references in the Bhakthi List
on the postings on Sri AparyApthaamrutha
dhyAna shOpAnam of HH Thirukkudanthai Desikan
for those , who wish to browse the Bhakthi archives :
1. Introductory Articles : Part 1&2
( October 19, Nov 25, 97) & SlOkam 1
2. SlOkam 2: ( Jan 22, 98)
3. SlOkam 3: ( Jan 29, 98)
The many delectable anubhavams of HH Thirukkudanthai
Desikan are covered in later posts during 1998-99
and concludes with the final posting on the 12th and
13th slOkams that appeared on May 30, 1999.
