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 ,
