Respested Subhashini
It is my submission that the books of great people like Uttamur Swami 
are put on public domain by their familiesfor free access as quickly 
as possible . Alerady very few people buy, read such books and 
treating these books as family property is right yet does not serve 
the very purpose for which they were written by such scholars. I 
request you to take the lead in this and let others follow. we rarely 
see the threats to our traditions and Hindusim in geenral and making 
good books available  free to the  "few"  now interesed can make 
access possibel for "many" in due course. even the  Geetha Press of 
gorakhpur has started subsidsing hard copy books.

an electronic format of the book titled 'Upanishad Artha Sangraha' by 
Sri Uttamur Swami.

appreciate your efforts to do so for your personal use. And I would 
have appreciated more if you have got the permission of the 
persons owning the Copyright of the above mentioned book and then 
started sharing your portal to the public.

> But, when the same goes for the circulation of the public, without 
the people concerned's permission, then its my duty to condemn this 
because as you are aware, the book that you have uploaded has a 
copyright owned by Sri Uttamur Swami's sons.

> This whole act of yours, am presuming you being born and brought 
up in the highly held kula and the Ramanuja Sampradaya, looks like 
one of the shameful and cheapest things to do. May be, many people 
will be benefitted from this pdf being circulated all over but i 
think people who do so are also the heartless and shameless ones who 
have no sense of the so called Ethics of a Srivaishnavite first of 
all, and not an ounce of gratitude for the efforts put by Sri Swami 
in publishing the book, second of all. 
>  
> Am surprised to see people talk of the Sampradaya so much but the 
basic things like ethics and codes of life is washed out in the drain 
with no or less conscience, which in turn is reflected by such deeds 
of PIRACY, taking advantage of the few cyber ignorant people. 
>  
> Are we really helping the Sampradaya and the people who really 
struggled for the Desika's Sampradaya this way? Is this the right way 
to show our gratitude to them who have thrown us the light on the 
paths of Sri Ramanuja and Swami Desika? And is this the way of life 
prescribed in the book that you have uploaded which gives the gist of 
all the Upanishads, Sir?

preceptors, your true conscience will tell you your next steps.

> In case you are not one, then I want you to remove the Pdf files of 
Sri Uttamur Swami's books and also the other copyrighted material 
that you have hosted without the owner's permission and a letter of 
apology for doing the same to all the ones you have forwarded the 
link of Sri Swami's book.

> My humble submission to you Sri. Adisesh Iyengar, is if we cannot 
do something good to the community, lets not spoil and set an example 
for a series of wrong deeds. If your noble intentions are to help the 
Srivaishnavas around the world, Please help them the noble way, the 
right way!!
