DARSANAM
ARANA DESIKAN
Series of articles about Swami Desikan collected / published
by Sravana Samithi, Muscat
during the holy month of Purattasi, Sarvadhari.
Our Swamy is a great personality. He was great in thought, word and deed. His
accomplishments are so varied, so many-sided and so glamorous that
even today, his very name is alluring and
inspiring. Above all, he lived his life in God and
so he lives eternally in greatness.
His writings cover all fields of
knowledge and they are so prodigious
and so prolific both in content and
style. His variegated knowledge in
art, science, religion, philosophy and
even in handicrafts is so amazing
that even the elite are compelled to
admit that he is a rare combination of
all the highest powers bestowed on
man. Usually, God grants these merits,
sporadically with restrictions and Swami Des ikan, Sr imad Ahobila Muth
reservations. But, Sri Vedanta Desika was an exception
and he had God's grace in abundance and his life was so richly blessed and great in many
ways and in many respects.
1. Was there anyone great, who was free from egoism and attachments, who was free
from pride and prejudice and who was free from the pursuit of power, pelf, name and
fame?
Yes. There was one. It was Sri Vedanta Desika.
2. Was there anyone great, who considered a clod of earth and a bar of gold as equal in
value?
