Hey Bhagawan! Another tragic demise!

Brahmasri Kaimukku Raman Akkithirippad, the great Jyotishyacharya who had predicted #Covid, succumbed to the dreaded virus!

This is so sad! 😔

Atma Shanti 🙏 Image
This article below had some of his predictions. Apparently he did foresee his end too, and informed some of his family and friends. 😔🙏 Image
A great scholar of Yajurveda and ancient Shrouta rituals, he was a Nityagnihotri who performed regular Ishti and special Ishtis on other occasions.

This loss is terrible 😞😭🙏 Image
Too many wonderful memories of him.

Sigh! 😞🙏 Image
Raman ji conducted the 2012 Athirathram in the Pakazhiyam Sampradayam Which was revived after 112 years! A handful of experts know this Shrauta Yajna Prayogam upto Athirathram. He was an authority! He also knew the Ashtamangalaprasnam like the back of his hand!

Sigh! 😞🙏 Image
He was the Yajamani for the Somayagam in 2006. Such a phenomenal scholar on various subjects! I only hope his legacy is continued by his disciples.

His demise is such a huge loss! I am still unable to believe! 😞🙏
Will remember my friend, Shri Raman ji, in my prayers on this auspicious Ekadasi. He would observe it strictly. Only a couple of Pakshams earlier, we had spoken on the phone! Sigh!

Everything is unpredictable these days!

Bless his soul! 🙏 Image

Stop all foreigners from entering, temporarily. Make tests compulsory for all international travellers! @DHFWKA

God save Bangalore! This is so scary!

Just as we thought 2021 would end peacefully!

Yikes!
I think we are heading towards another massive public health emergency!

Ugh! 😶 Image

Today is Avani Hastam on the traditional Tamil calendar. The Thirunakshatram of HH, the 44th Azhagiyasingar Sri Satagopa Vedantadesika Yathindra Mahadesikan.

If you want to learn how to revive Dharma in this day and age, his life is a real inspiration!

🙏😀🙏😀🙏 Image
Popular as 'Mukkur' Azhagiyasingar, he got the construction of the grand Rajagopuram in Srirangam.

It was under his strong will and able guidance, such a mammoth project was achieved! The story of its history still gives goosebumps!

🤩🙏🤩🙏🤩 Image
In the long and illustrious spiritual lineage of his Parampara, only he was addressed as 'Vedanta Desika', in honour of the original Saint.

His achievement in the modern times is no lesser than Swami Desika's in his era!

Both fought for the upliftment of Dharma!

🙏🙏🙏

The great Srivaishnavaite scholar Shri MA Lakshmi Thathachar swami attained Sadgati today. He was 84. He ran that brilliant Sanskrit library in Melukote till it ran into unfortunate problems. I remember meeting him in Thiruvaiyaru and later in his home in Blore.

Atma Shanti 🙏
He was the President of the Samskriti Foundation in Mysore and a wonderful orator. You can listen to some of his lectures on YouTube. Check this :

I will never forget this scene. He stood in Thirumanjana Veedhi in Thiruvaiyaru, holding his palm to his face, sobbing and wiping his tears looking at an empty space before him. They had torn down what was the home of Sadguru Tyagaraja Swamy. He was heartbroken!

Another auspicious #AkshayaTritiya here, today. Let's pray everyone is blessed with good health! 😀🙏

An older thread here 👇
Let me add to the old thread, #AkshayaTritiya is also the annual Chandanotsavam for Sri Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy in the ancient temple of Simhachalam in Andhra! 😊🙏

#AkshayaTritiya
In many Vaishnav Kshetrams, they take the lord out in a grand procession on the Garuda Vahana Seva today. This beautiful silver Garuda of Simhachalam is ❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely in love with this! 😍🙏

Move over Panna cotta! Long live Ragi Manni!

🤩🤩🤩 Image
For all those curious, it is a delicious pudding made from Ragi, coconut milk and jaggery. Mostly popular in coastal Karnataka.

Long tedious process of preparation! Especially if you want to get it perfect! 😅

But good time pass in lockdown! 🤷🏻‍♂️
Soak Ragi for 5 hours, grind, put into muslin cloth and extract the milk. Extract coconut milk. Add jaggery powder. Put these three on low flame and keep stirring. It will turn thick and pastey in an hour. Take off stove, pour into dish greased with ghee. Sprinkle cardamom powder

With great sadness we got the news that the dreaded virus took our dear friend, eminent Sanskrit scholar Shri Venkataramana. Venkata, as we fondly addressed him, was serving as the principal of the Medha Dakshinamurthy Sanskrit College in Gokarna.

Atma Shanti 🙏 😔
Venkata studied Vyakarana from the great Brahmasri Kompella Satyanarayana Shastri Garu in Rajamundry. He passed the Tenali and Rajamundry Maha Parikshas. He went on to study Nyaya Shastra from Prof KE Devanathan in Tirupathi. He wrote numerous research papers.
He was blessed by the Sringeri Jagadguru with the honour of 'Vyakarana and Nyaya Vidwat Pravara'. He was also blessed by Pejawara Shri for his extensive research on Dwaita. He was born in 1980! Not an age to go! 😭

This is such a shock! Condolences to his family.

Atma Shanti 😔
