India is a country known for its tradition, culture, religion, philosophy and literature, all of which date back to centuries.

Volumes of books on Hindu religion, the Vedas, the Puranas and Literature speak about Lord Vishnu's avatars (or incarnations) upon the Earth. It is said that God also manifests Himself by appearing in the form of artists, teachers, scholars, musicians or spiritual personalities to save Hinduism and Dharma. One, among the many such manifestations of the Lord, was Sri Vedantha Deshika who was born in the post Ramanuja period. He was considered a great Sri Vaishnava teacher and scholar who contributed to the Sri Vaishnava School of theory and thought, opposing the rival schools.

Several books in the form of commentaries have been published over the centuries touching upon his scholarship in the compositions of his poems, dramas, stotras, etc. Also his Gadyams have been eulogized and his school of thought argued and discussed at length.

In the present book titled "Vedantha Deshika" being published by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam, Tirupati, the author K.S. Mohan Kumar has dwelt with the life history, the personality, and the compositions of the great acharya. Besides this, the book stands apart from other books on Vedantha Deshika as the author has focused on the unique qualities of a manager in Vedantha Deshika. It discusses elaborately his skills as in masonry, magic, etc, put to test and challenged by the common men of those days.

History of several countries of the world has revealed that God, from time to time, chooses men and women of good character, to spread the message of divine love and spirituality among people. "God carefully chooses people to highlight his presence and his deeds". It is true in the cases of Ramanujacharya, Vedantha Deshika and many others.

These people set very good examples to others through their personal life and work. They create history by their perfect wisdom and spotless character. They also live a purposeful life and become role model to others.
