SrI : SrI Raamachandra PasrabrahmaNE Nama: Dear Raama BhakthAs : Back in 1990 , adiyEn authored a 360 plus page book analysing the mood of Parama Bhakthi housed in the Five Ghana Raaga Pancharathnams of the great Raama BhakthA , Saint ThyagrAja . This book was released in 1990 at Chennai by Sangeetha Kalaanidhis and MahA VidvAns , ( late )Semmangudi SrinivAsa Iyer and PalaghAt K.V.NaraayaNa Swamy . The first release copies were sold in a couple of years and I forgot all about it thereafter and moved on to other things . This year , a devout native of Tanjore , Sri B.Sreenivas , wrote to me and asked for permission to bring this book as second release and to use modern multimedia Technologies ( Text plus Images and Audio of the rendering of the 5 Krithis by an eminent Musician) to enrich the content of the first release of 1990 . I was moved by the enthusiasm of Sri Sreenivas and agreed . In a remarkably short time , Sri Sreenivas created the online version of the e-book in PDF Format and also created the CD ROM version of it . I was very much impressed by the quality and care that went into this new release . This 2006 version was released at the SamAdhi of Saint ThyagrAjA at ThiruvayyARu on His Aaraadhanam day this year ( Bagula Panchami , Jan 19, 2006) . The book is in Tamil . The CD ROM is constructed in such a way that you can read pages , hear the music , see the notation for the krithis and appreciate the Vaibhavam of Saint ThyagarAja as a BhagavathOtthma , who had the bhAgyam of seeing Lord Raamachandra and his family with his own physical eyes in His life at ThiruvayyAru . The proceeds from the sale of this book has been reserved for supporting the well known RaajA's college for Sanskrit , which is now being managed by Bharathi Daasan Univerisy and Srirangam Srimath Andavan Aasramam under the leadership of Professor AarAvamudhan . Those who are in India , who wish to acquire a copy of this TAMIL Book or the CD ROM version are requested to contact Sri Sreenivas at Bangalore at the following address: Sri B.Sreenivas 102 Ranka Manor 2/9 Artillery Road Ulsoor Bangalore 560 008 or send e-mail to him at : pancharatnakirthis@xxxxxxxxx Those Raama BhakthAs and Sangitha RasikAs in USA and outside India are requested to contact me at: sgopan@xxxxxxxxxxxx I can send you copies of the CD ROM version of the book for your use. The book is written in Tamil and I have seperate audio tapes of the Book read by me. Those can be used , when you drive and listen to tapes instead of sitting before a computer to read the e-book .
