In 1973, Sri Ka:nchi Annagara:cha:rya Swami eulogized the glory of Sri Pedda Jeeyar Swamiji through a heart-felt outpouring poem on a huge stage in a meeting. Back then, the two verses of the poem were printed in a famous magazine. In view of the thiru nakshathra maho:thsava, great celebration of Sri Pedda Jeeyar Swamiji’s appearance day, let us take a few moments to reflect on what the two verses mean.

There is an interesting special feature in this writing. Read the coloured letters in the order as per the arrow and put them together. See what you get…

The verses say…

  • He is the one who took upon a lifelong deeksha, penance, to deliver the teachings and philosophy of Sri Bhagavad Ramanujacharya.
  • He is the one who appeared on the earth for the purpose of uplifting those drowning in the ocean of ignorance.
  • With sathya sankalpa, divine pure will, He is the one able to conduct numerous great social and spiritual programs for the benefit of all the world.
  • He is the one with unique capability to enlighten those who turned against God and transform them into God-loving souls through his lifestyle, practices, and speeches.
  • He is the one with extraordinary ability to launch and complete mega programs within less time which many can’t dream of despite planning them in a number of ways.
  • With an inspirational divine past, He graced the world as a role model and a worshippable personality.
  • Let us embrace the eternal divine presence of Sri Sri Sri Tridandi Srimannarayana Ramanuja Jeeyar Swamiji in the glorious form of his number of disciples across the world.
