anything untoward happening, the VairamuDi was safely deposited in the Treasury at
Mandya and I returned to Mysore mutt to report the success of the mission. Acharya was
mighty happy. I was flabbergasted by the amount of confidence the Acharya had in me –
rather in Lord Ramapriyan who in reality accomplished the task.

This time, His Holiness was camping at Bangalore branch. When I went to offer my
obeisance there, he was very busy in a discussion with his close associates. We waited for
quite some time. Finally, H.H granted his Darsan. He explained the reasons for making me
wait as some very important and urgent matters were being discussed. After meeting with
him, we took leave and were about to leave the premises. He had asked Sri Nandu swamy,
to call me back. I was wondering why the Pontiff should be beckoning me after sending me
off. As I went back in response, I was agreeably surprised when H.H. with his own hands
wound on me a shawl containing the name of Parakala Mutt inscribed in golden letters - by
way of honoring me! I cannot forget this benign gesture of our Acharyan.
Srimukham blessings for “Swami Desika Darsana Satsangam”, its Electronic Journal “Sri
Ranga Sri” and my books.
His Holiness has been blessing SDDS when it was established in 1996, when SRS was started
in 2000 (which today have over 5200 members from all over the world). You know that I
have been publishing over 10 books every year from 2004 onwards - on our Sampradaya
philosophy (Siddhantam) and practices (AnushTaanams). H.H has been kind to bless all my
efforts and has granted Srimukham blessings over the years. And had given some of his
books for presenting in “Sri Ranga Sri” I am deeply grateful for his continuous
encouragement and blessings which is the sustaining force for us.
May our Acharya H.H. Abhinava Vaagheesa Brahma Tantra Swatantra Parakaala Swami live
VedOkta Dheergaayus and in excellent health and grant us his NirhEtuka kripa on all of us.
