Sri:

Sri MalOla Dhivya PaadhukAbhyAm nama:

Dear BhakthAs of Sriman NaarAyaNa PaadhukAs (Swamy NammAzhwAr) :

adiyEn would like to share with you recent communication
between adiyEn and Sri Sriram SrinivAsan , the creator of
Sripedia archives to house the postings of Oppiliappan , Raama Bhakthi
and Sri Ranga Sri (http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia ) and Microsites on
Yajur SaakhA SandhyA Vandhanam , Sri VenkatEswara AshtOttharam et al
( What is New section in the above URL )   .

Sri Sriram SrinivAsan has been exceptionally generous with his time and
computer expertise to help archive source material for the aasthikA
community . It is my bhAgyam to work with him and benefit from his
significant experience with " Know How " to serve our community of
AasthikAs through Computer (Emerging Internet ) Technologies .

Sri Sriram and adiyEn concur now that the release of a Monograph
to bring out the genius of Swamy Desikan as a poet in creating
Chithra Paddhathi for Lord RanganAtha with its matchless Syllabic
and Geometric Mastery would be a valuable Kaimkaryam .

The current postings on Sei RanganAtha PaadhukA sahasrams
1008 slOkams including the FOUTY SLOKAMS of CHITHRA PADDHATHI
are already there in the Sripedia archives :

http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia/ebooks/vdesikan/rps

We plan to add to the current content of Chithra Paddhathi there with
AchArya anugraha BhAshaNams, detailed comments on the brilliant
(audacious) geometrical matrix frame work behind the words of
the 40 slOkams of the Chitra Paddhathi :

http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia/ebooks/vdesikan/rps/chitra.html

The leaps of poetic imagination and the incomparable skills in
constructing the slOkams in different kinds of Chithra paddhathi
by Swamy Desikan would be of interest not only to our SampradhAyins
but also to modern day Scientists and Engineers as well .

We need help in three specific areas to execute this project :

1. A skilled Graphic artist in India or overseas with Photoshop
    skills to construct the Chitrams (Yanthrams) .

2. An Editor in India with excelent  editing skills and knowledge of
Sanskrit
    to edit the prepared texts , fix any errors in writing , spelling and
syntax .

3. An  India-based aasthika familiar with the publishing world , who could
     present proof read galleys to appropriate publisher and get them
     published in the book form .

Please let me know of your interests to take part in this kaimkaryam in
any one of the above three areas to bring this book out . Your financial
support for realize this book would also be welcome .
