Sri U.Ve. Puttur Krishnaswa:mi Iyengar (Sudarsanar Swa:mi)

Sri. U.Ve. S.KrishnaSwamy Iyengar swami , also called as Sudarsanar, Puttur Swami and well known as "Sudarsanam Iyengar" by one and all in the SriVaishanava Community. He is a eminent scholar and a living authority in the Sri Vaishnava Sampradayam.  Born to Sri. U.Ve. K.Srinivasa Iyengar swami(SriVaishnava Simham) founder of journal "SriVaishnava Sudarsanam" , Sri. S. KrishnaSwamy Iyengar, has got himself  a post graduation degree and a degree in Law and started his religious dedication at his very early age under the auspices of his father. The family has dedicated itself to the service of SriVaishnavism  for over a period of more then 50 years through this journal and several other publications. If to speak the qualities/ services of swami it may need a separate portal to deal with.

The family has dedicated itself to the service of SriVaishnavism  for over a period of more then 50 years through this journal and several other publications. If to speak the qualities/ services of swami it may need a separate portal to deal with. Sri S. Krishnaswamy Iyengar swami is adorned with various scholarly titles viz., 'Divyaarththarathnanidhi' , 'Vishistadvaithasamrakchakar', 'Thirumal neri noorkavalar', 'srithathvanirdharakar', 'vidhyavisaratha' . etc. He is the Editor of Publisher - Sri Vaishnava Sudarsanam , Journal, Manager  - Srinivasam Press, Patron - Bharatheeya Poorvasikha Srivaishnava SSabha,Srirangam, Vice-President - Sri Bashya Bhagavadvishya Acharya Peettam, Srirangam and Vice-President - Koil Thennacharya Sampradaya Samrakshaana Sabha, Srirangam. All the above titles and the social standings can very will give Swami's qualities and his contributions to the Sri Vaishnavism. Even with all this outstanding qualities , swamiji is simple and approachable by one and all at any time with a courtesy intimation. Swamiji has already completed 80 ThiruNakchatrams and still he is continuing his services to the vaishnavite community with the same old spirit what he had when he took up the task.

When I met him with the proposal of going to net on vaishnavism he immediately pledged his whole hearted support and also has started providing inputs to the philosophy section. He has happily taken up the job of replying our member's questions on vaishnavism and other religious matters of importance. More surprisingly to the first set of 10 questions which I sent to him as received from members he gave his reply at once and that too in his own hand writing (Please imagine a man at the age of 80s doing this), this itself will prove swamiji's  mentality to serve the SriVaishnava Sampradayam from the bottom of his heart. I really felt into tears to have blessed with his able support to this portal.

Let us all pray Sriman Narayana to give swamiji a very long life (innumoru Nutrandirum)  and also enough physical strength to continue his services to the community.

Even though all the services of swamiji are personally funded through the family trust it is the duty of every sri Vaishnava to contribute the maximum possible from his side and for the details please look into the details of appeals link in the philosophy main page.
