|  Welcome to Sadagopan.org - a SriVaishnava Portal conceptualized by Sriman Oppiliappan Koil Varadachari Sadagopan. This portal houses commentaries in English, of Sri Vaishnava Sampradayic texts on topics like Vishistadvaitham, acharyas, sthothras, Divya Deshams and many rare granthams that cannot be found anywhere else. The commentaries were written by Sriman Sadagopan and other eminent scholars and complied from their contributions for over a dozen years and released in the form of over 360 e-books with beautiful, rare images and in some cases audio files.
Sriman Sadagopan's primary goal was and continues to be vidya daanam - to educate the interested readers in the greatness of our illustrious sampradayam. He believes that these commentaries in English will be a bridge for the younger generation, as well as those not conversant or comfortable in Sanskrit or Tamil to access and enjoy these great works of our Acharyas and rare granthams. He has received accolades and grateful appreciation from bhaagavads, scholars and bhaktas for the intricate and subtle details of philosophy - such is the power of his writings.

| SrI
Dear SrI AhOBila Matam SishyAs and AbhimAnis, This year’s ChAturmAsya Vratam will be observed from July 3 – October 10 over 90 days by both the Azhagiya Singars at the DasAvatAra Sannidhi at Sriranga Dhivya desam. It will be the 614th ChAthurmAsya vratam to be observed by the Azhagiya Singars of SrI Matam founded in the year 1399 C.E by Lord Lakshmi Narasimhan Himself at AhOBilam.The Number of Vratam days are 90 this year instead of the 60 days as in previous years due to the occurrence of “AtimAsam” during the Vratam period this year.
 AdiyEn requests all sishyAs and abhimAnis of Sri MaTam to choose special days of interest to them during the July 3- October 10 time frame for their sponsorships of their prefered Vratam day . These could be EkAdasi, DhvAdasi, PradhOsham, SravaNam, Adi Pooram, GokulAshtami, AchArya Thirunakshatram days, your own and your family members’ birthdays, anniversaries of your SamASrayaNa/BharanyAsams and other special days in your life.
The detailed information relating to Sri Matam ChAthurmAsyams in general, and this year’s Vratam in particular, are assembled in the following informative PDF for your reference: http://www.ibiblio.org/sadagopan/Miscellaneous/2012CMasyam.pdf .....

Swarna Kati-Sutram Kaimkaryam for Swami Desikan at Thooppul
|
|
|  SrI
Dear BhaktAs of Swamy VedAntha Desikan
AdiyEn is very happy to brief You this Kaimakaryam with Vedic links for Trayyantha Desikan, our Tooppul Kula MaNi, SrI Vedantha Desikan. The heart of the Kaimakryam is to have a samarpaNam of a MekhalA or golden munji belt that is used by VaidhikAs, when they perform their daily ArAdhanam. Swamy Desikan in His vibahvam used to adorn such MekhalA or Waist belt or arai Jn~ANN kayiru, whose origin goes back to the ancient Rg Vedam.
You can see Lord VaradarAjan adorning such a golden waist band with a front piece (muhappu) in the pictures of Him here http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/7138778/1065764058/name/Thooppul-katisUtram-kaimkaryam.pdf . The Vedic significance of Bhagavad ArAdhanam and the role of the MekhalA Bandhanam during that ArAdhanam is covered here http://www.ibiblio.org/sadagopan/Miscellaneous/thooppulkaimkaryam.pdf .
We need 100 grams of 22 Karat Gold, a central Pacchai (emerald) and few kempu (rubies) to surround the Pacchai as you see it in the AabharaNam for Lord VaradarAjan. Our Lord is an avApta samasta Kaaman and He does not need to do anything for Himself. He adorns the Urdhva PuNDram, Mekahali (Kadi Sootram) and YajnOpaveeta Sutram to remind us of the need to adorn them to make ourselves eligible to perform Vaidhika karmAs like nityArAdhanam, Yaagam and Yajnam.
