SrI: Sri MahA Devi SamEtha PeraruLALan ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam Dear BhakthAs:There is a wealth of Sri Sookthis realting to Lord VaradarAjan of PerumAL Koil at Kaanchipuram. In this ancient dhivya Desam , AzhwArs and PoorvAchAryaas and prakrutham AchAryAs have stood at the Lord's sannidhi on top of Hasthi Giri and received instructions from Him about how they can strengthen the Parama Vaidhika Matham ; they have performed their Prapatthi to Him in His role as the PrathamAchAryan of this world. During the Vikrama Kaarthikai anusham celebrations of Koti KannikA Dhanam Taatha Desikan's 428th Vaarshika Uthsavam , ( November 26, 2000) the descendants of this illustrious vamsam of Pancha Matha Bhanjana Taaatha Desikan had a SamarpaNam of RathnAngi for Varadan .Tatha Desikan and His Devi have their archai in a sannidhi at PerumAL Koil . In addition to the RathnAngi samarpaNam , the family members released a scholarly monograph entitled " Varada GuNAmrutha Vaibhavam" as a souvenir of the occasion. Sri Nadadur Vijayaraaghavan , Sri Kaaryam of Srimath Andavan Aasramam will be sending a copy of this treasure house of information about Varadhan soon to me . adiyEn will share at this time a gist of the contents of that monograph supplied to me by Sri Vijayaraghavan Swamy that will help me a great deal in the composition of the future postings on Varadhan in this series on Sri varadarAja Sthavaam .
