Sri :
Dear BhakthAs
:
(1) You might recall that few
years back we ( Professor M.A. Alwar of
Melkote and myself ) prepared
and distributed an
informative CD on
the Life and the Nine divine
Sri Sookthis of
AchArya RaamAnujA .
The nine divine
compositions (Sri Sookthis) of our most
revered AchAryan
( Sri Bhaashyam , VedAntha Saaram , VedAntha dheepam
,
VedArtha Sangraham , Geethaa
BhAshyam , Gadhya Thrayam and
Nithyam ) were
covered in that CD ROM , which was well recieved
.
That year was
1999 and Microsoft Operating System 98
was
still in vogue.
Two years later , we found
that Microsoft had released new Operating
Systems that made our CD
incompatible . All that unique effort in
creating the marvellous CD
ROM came to nought . Now , We have to reformat
all the data relating to
AchArya RaamAnujA CD so that it can be played
across all OS platforms .
We need your active particpation & Support
to
realize
this objective .
(2) Dr. M.A. Alwar &
myself prepared next , one of the most
information-packed
introduction to
the Lives and Sri Sookthis
(AruLiccheyalkaLs) of
the 12 Sri
VaishNavite AzhwArs . The date was
around 2003 . The medium
is English and the
focus was at a a level
for youngsters as well as all
family members to learn about the glories
of our blessed AzhwArs
.
The first
of these planned two volumes covered the life history ,
the dhivya dEsams that they
performed MangaLAsAsanam ,
their Prabhandhams and recitation of those Prabhandhams
by
the Melkote AdhyApAka GhOshti
.The Life History and the divine
works of 7 AzhwArs ( Mudhal
AzhwArs, PeriyAzhwAr , ANDAL ,
Thondaradippodi and
ThiruppANar ) were covered in that First
Volume , which was also well
recieved because of the significant
still and video images and
acoustic files covering the recitation of
the Prabhandhams of all those
7 AzhwArs . This Volume is still
available for those , who did
not acquire it sofar .Please contact me .
Now we are planning to
complete the Second Volume of
the Life and AruLiccheyalkaLs
of the remaining 5 AzhwArs
( Kulasekharar ,
Thirumazhisai , Swamy NammAzhwAr ,
Madhura Kavi and Thirumangai
Mannan ) . Together , these
5 AzhwArs alone have
contributed 9 Prabhandhams with more than
2,500 Paasurams . In view of this extensive/ precious content , the second
volume will be a challenge to
create . With Bhagavath anugraham
and your support , we are
determined to complete this Kaimkaryam
and release it along with the
reformatted AchArya RaamAnujA
CD ROM in English .
Estimated Cost for
completion of the two Projects Is $
2,000.
Sole Support by a single
philanthrophically minded
Sri VaishNavar or (2)support
by 4 BhakthAs at $500
level each or (3) assistance
by 10 BhakthAs at the $200
level or (4) by 20 Sri
VaishNavAs at the $100 level
will help us reach the
funding target to launch quickly
and successfully conclude
this project of great
importance to Sri VaishNavite
Families .
Please
contact adiyEn to raise these tax deductible funds
to initiate this twin Kaimkaryams as the
First of
the important
Kaimkaryams for the year 2005 .
Thank you for
your help ,
