Dear Sriman Sadagopan swamin

Dasasya vignapanam


adiyen wants to know whether the Acharya Ramanuja CD-ROM for bhagavath Aradhanam is available and whether it can be sent to adiyen.  If so, what is the cost?
 
Originally , this CD ROM was  recorded in Microsoft 98 (MS98).
It worked well . When the new MS Operating Systems came about ,
there was some incompatibility in the video play areas and
that made it difficult to play the CD ROM in new machines .
Some bhakthAs , who are knowledgable about these system
compatibilities have fixed the problem and it works for them.
 
In view of  the precious content of the AchArya RaamAnujA CD ROM ,
both Dr.M.A.Alwar and myelf plan to bring the older version play on
the new machines and we are looking in to it for release in few
weeks .
 
We wish to combine it with the completion of work on Part II of
AzhwAr Vaibhavam ( Life and their Prabhandhams ). The First
part covered the Vaibhavam of the three Mudhal AzhwArs ,
PeriyAzhwAr , ANDAL , ThiruppANar and Thondaradippodi
in a multimedia format . The remaining five AzhwArs and
their Prabhandhams ( NammAzhwAr , Madhura Kavi ,Thirumangai,
KulasEkharar and Thirumazhisai ) have to be covered in
the Second Part . We need some funds to complete this work
and I have appealed to BHakthAs to support this Kaimkaryam .  

Regarding adiyen's doubt about bhagavath Aradhanam:

Adiyen when came to this country 18 years back, did not bring salagramam due to obvious reasons and also was told that salagramam should not be taken beyond bharatha kandam - "kadal thAndi koNdu pogakoodathu". 

Adiyen had the bhagyam of Baranyasam performed by HH Srimad Azhagiya singar almost exactly a year back. When adiyen asked HH jeer about taking salagramam, HH was kind enough to tell that salagramam can be taken overseas and that there is no such restriction.  Adiyen now had the bhagyam of getting a salagramam just a week back from my relative who has gone to India and will be coming back after 6 months or so.  For the time being, adiyen is reciting Purusha sooktam, Sri Sooktam, salagrama dhayana slokam, Daya sadhakam, Swamy Desikan's Sri Sthuthi etc. and then does naivedhyam.
 
I am very happy to know that you have Saalagraama Moorthy at your house.
Please try to get one or two dhwAraka silAs since together , they form a formidable
prsence of Bhagavan in the house . As I mentioned elsewhere , the sanctity of
the house having Saalagramam extends upto 2 miles radius. Having 12 Saalagramams
make your house a Dhivya dEsam . Thanks to the munificence of a devotee in
Chennai , adiyEn's  Saalagraama Moorthams went upto Twelve along with 2 DhwArakA SilAs .
As Srimath Azhagiya Singar has stated , SaaLagramams can travel overseas
and provide immense happiness for us thru performance of AarAdhanam
for the Lord thru Nithya Saanidhyam.

Adiyen was told that the procedure for the Aradhanam - lagu or ghana  is first to be learnt (or initiated) by a knowledgeable person. One of adiyen's friend who does regularly bhagavath Aradhanam and who is fairly well versed on anushtanams, said  that as long as one had pancha samskaram, one can perform the Aradhanam and there is no need to wait and no need to be initiated by some body.  Adiyen will be much obliged for swamin's advise on this.  Adiyen is having the books -  Sri Vaishnava Dinacharya, SriVaishnavam published by Sri Thillaisthanam Swamy kainkarya Sabha, Bangalore and lagu thiruvaradhana kramam by Lifco book.

Your Friend is correct in his views . Anyone , who has had Pancha SamskAram can and should
perform Nithya AarAdhanam . These days , it may be difficult to recieve face to face instructions
from qualified anushtAthAs . AarAdhanam should not be left out for that reason .
Srimad Azhagiya singar thiruvadigale saranam
