SrI: Dear All : I have been working with Dr.Advitheeya Dixit , a young and dedicated VaishNavite belonging to Ahobila Matam from Bangalore . He is a Medical Doctor interning now in Rochester . He is the author of a brilliant book on Annamacharya and His Sankeerthanams , a Book in English with the Bard's Krithis in Telegu , He has been assisted by a telegu poet & Scholar , Smt.Ambika . This book consisting of 200 plus Sankeerthanams of the Saint from TaaLapaakkam has been released by Thirumala Thirupapthi DevasthAnam , which is an indication of the quality of this book . As you know , the TTD Book release dept has a rigorous standard for releasing any book under their auspices . The uniqueness of this book is in the coverage of Sankeerthanams related not only to Lord Venkatesa , the poet- composers' Ishta dhaivam but also about his AchAryan, Adhi VaNN SatakOpar and Ahobila Narasimhan . I am working with Dr.Adviteeya to create a CD on selected songs of Annamayya with emphasis on (1) Bhagavath RaamAnuja (2) Lord Venkatesa (3) Nava Narasimhars of Ahobilam and (4) Adhi VaNN SathakOpa Jeeyar . TalapAkkam Annamya had Grantha ChAthushtya KaalakshEpam from Adhi VaNN SatakOpa Jeeyar, the founding Jeeyar of Ahobila Matam , while He was performing Naadha NaivEdhya Kaimakryams to Lord VenkatEsa and AlarmEl Mangaa ThAyAr . We hope to have an anugraha BhAshaNam from Sriamth Azhagiya Singar for this CD to be released in June 2007 . Dr.Dixit will be providing the commentary on the individual songs . Sri Amrut of Bangalore will be singing these sankeerthanams of Annamayya . The one day recording is to be done at Bangalore in the first half of June . On the funding side of this kaimakryam, the recording will be done at Bangalore by SrI Amrut with Violin , Mrudhangam and VeeNaa (?) or Flute . The total cost for the recording , creation & distribution of this CD is approximately $600 or 24,000 Rupees . I will start with adiyEn's modest contribution of $50 . Any support from you would be welcome and it could be sent to me for helping us to cover the recording of the Sankeerthanams and have it distributed among the BhakthAs of Lord Venkatesa . . My address is : V.Sadagopan Apt 6B-1 , Sacrborough Manor P.O Box 307 Scarborough , NY 10510 Dr. Adviteeya Dixit will send us the Bangalore address to which India Based devotees' samarpaNams could be sent . Thank you all for possible support for this Kaimkaryam the budget for which is $600 or Rs.24,000 . Srimath Azhagiya Singar ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam , V.Sadagopan Yahoo!
