On May 10th 2015, Chithirai Month Thiruvonam day, being the monthly Thirunakshatram of Swami Desikan, special purappadu was conducted at Srirangam Poundarikapuram Ashramam. Swami Desikan was taken in procession in palanquin across Uttara vedhi.
Swami Desikan incarnated as the amsam of Srinivasa Perumal’s divine ghanta (bell). All the mortal words and also the immortal words of Sruti are not sufficient to express the greatness of Swami Desikan. Desika is a Sanskrit word which means “Acharya”.
“Seeronru Tooppul Tiruvenkata mudaiyan Par onra chonna pazhamozhiyul |
OronRu thane Amaiyado Dharaniyil Vazhvorkku Vanerap Pomalavum Vazhvu ||
ஸ்ரீரங்கம் ஸ்ரீ பவுண்ட்ரிகபுரம் ஸ்ரீமத் ஆண்டவன் ஆஸ்ரமத்தில் மாச ஸ்ரவண நட்சத்திரத்தினை முன்னிட்டு, சுவாமி தேசிகன் உத்திர வீதி புறப்பாடு கண்டருளினார்.
