The Annual Conferences have laid down standards of perfection for the musicians of the future. The Academy has my best wishes on the occasion of their Annual Music Conference this year.” Messages had also been received from Sri K. C. Reddy, Minister for Works, Housing and Supply, and Sri Mehar Chand Khanna, Minister for Rehabilitation and Minorities. Sri V. T. Krishnamachari, Deputy Chairman, Planning Commission, said in the course of his message : “ I send my best wishes on the occasion of the 33rd Annual Music Conference organised by the Music Academy, Madras.

The Academy also organises research in Karnatic music and discussion of problems relating to it. In these and other ways the Academy stands for high standards in Karnatic music and keeps traditions alive.

Dr. Sir C. V.

I am writing to send my heartiest good wishes for the success of this year’s functions.” The Hon’ble Mr. Justice P.V. Rajamannar, President, Central Sangeet Natak Akademi, said in his message: “ I send my best wishes on the occasion of the 33rd Conference and Music Festival of the Music Academy. The Conference with which the Music Festival is integrated has become an important event in the history of Music in South India. One cannot adequately com­ mend the good and great work done by the Music Academy in the preservation, fostering and development of Carnatic Music in particular. I believe that this achievement has been possible because it has all along been run not as a department of the Government, but as an independent institution by a band of devotees to Music.

This image is very unique. Here, one can see Ramanuja with the gnyAna mudra (the sign of a teacher; see his right/left hands); usually, Swami Ramanuja’s images always present him in the anjali mudra (offering worship, both hands together in obeisance). Our elders say that Swami Ramanuja’s image at Thirumala shows the gnyAna mudra, because it is here that Swami Ramanuja gave his lectures on Vedarta Sangraha, his insightful, profound treatise on the meaning of the Upanishads. It is also said that Swami Ramanuja here is considered an Acharya to Lord Srinivasa Himself, and that is why the hundi is located right in front of swami Ramanuja at the temple (as a mark of respect to an Acharya). In Thirumala, other than Lord Srinivasa, Varaha, Narasimha and A VEDICS JOURNAL Varadaraja, the only other accepted shrine is that of Swami Ramanuja.

  • The Sacred Presence of the Guru: the Velala Lineages of Tiruvavatuturai, Dharmapuram, and Tiruppanantal
    THE SACRED PRESENCE OF THE GURU THE SACRED PRESENCE OF THE GURU: THE VELALA LINEAGES OF TIRUVAVATUTURAI, DHARMAPURAM, AND TIRUPPANANTAL By KATHLEEN IVA KOPPEDRAYER, B.A., M.A. A thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University (c) Copyright by Kathleen Iva Koppedrayer, May 1990 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (1990) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (Religious Studies) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: The Sacred Presence of the Guru: The Velala Lineages of Tiruvavatuturai, Dharmapuram, and Tiruppanantal AUTHOR: K. I. Koppedrayer, B.A. (McGill University) M.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Paul Younger NUMBER OF PAGES: xi, 363 ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines a set of Saiva religious institutions, the Tiruvavatuturai Adhinam, the Dharmapuram Adhinam, and the Kasi Matha of Tiruppanantal, all located in Tamilnadu, India. Preliminary research indicated that models of monastic retreat and seminary yield incomplete and sometimes distorted pictures of the institutions in their social setting. Mindful of the dynamic character of these institutions, this thesis endeavours to construct a better model of understanding the institutions' basic structure. This work used a variety of sources to gauge the institutions' scope of activity. These sources ranged from classical material, inscriptions, hagiographies, doctrinal and ritual writings, to contemporary records, first-person observation and interviews. In addressing the question of basic structure, the thesis argues that though these three institutions are conveniently called Saiva matas, the matam and the religious institution represent two different abstract entities. The work suggests that the religious institution is structured around the concept of lineage. The institution is above all an aggregate of religious individuals tied together by "fictive kin" ties.
