SrI:

SrI Lakshmi Nrusimha parabrahmaNE nama:

asmath GurubhyO Nama:

Dear SrI Thirukkuruhur Sadagopan Raghavan and All AasthikAs:

namO NaarAyaNAya !

adiyEn welcomes your pledge of support .Thank you.

Since you are in India , the DD can be sent to:

Dr.P.N.Sridharan
Honorary Secretary
Sri Ahobila Muth Educational Institutions
Madhuranthakam 
Tamil Nadu 603 306 

With links to RaashtrIya VidhyA Peetam in Sanskrit
at Tiruppathi , Dr.Sridharan and his committee has ambitous plans 
to implement many timely projects including the expansion of 
electronic access of the Guru Kulam students and the faculty
to the outside nodal centers in India and abroad.
adiyEn can visualize a day , when this center
would become one of the key nodes in the nation
for the collection of rare manuscripts and preservation of
them in digital forms instead of the current media 
with limited-life like palm leaves and paper. By the way,
the Sanskrit Academy of Melkote under the leadership of
Dr.Lakshmi TatachAr is doing yeoman work in the use of
computers for the research area . 

Since you are the first aasthikA to respond to 
adiyEn's appeal , let me share with you and fellow
aasthikAs some thoughts that adiyEn has about
the ways that we all can contribute to honor 
SrI Bhagavath RaamAnuja SiddhAntham through 
the reinforcement of this Center of excellence at 
MadhurAnthakam as it spreads its wings to build 
the first computer Center for the students of 
a premier GURU KULAM STYLE institution committed to
the advancement of SrI VaishNavite Theology,Religion 
philosophy and its practise at its five schools. 

Most of us who have been blessed to use electronic media 
and new media technologies and appreciate the enormous benefit
such access confers on us. It will be a dream come true 
to this pioneering Educational Institution in MadhurAnthakam
to lead the way and forge ahead in this area to link the students
to the invaluable treasures of our timeless sampradhAyam 
in old and new media and at the same time enhance their potential 
to serve the Aasthika Community and stabilize themselves economially
as well after graduation. 

Besides the traditional uses of computers for instruction
(Face to face and asynchronus learning ) and information search , 
it appears that the digitalization of the valuable publications 
housing priceless articles by our revered AchAryAs and 
great SrI VaishNavite scholars that appeared in the past 
720 issues of Nrusimha PriyA and the past issues of
SrI RanganATa PaadhukA , HayagrIva PriyA and other scholarly 
journals of interest to our community on every aspect of
Our venerable siddhAntham .

This could be a research project . Future generation of 
scholars , wherever they are, can access these archives 
for instruction and research.The priceless material
housed in these journal issues are diffiuclt to access 
today by students and scholars alike. 

These are just adiyEn's thoughts ; adiyEn is sure 
that Secretary SrIman Sridharan will welcome your
active particpation , feedback and support that would shape 
the agenda and programs of the MadhurAnthakam Schools in 
the 21st century.

Dr.Sridharan's e-mail address is:
PNSridhar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 

In conclusion, the Funding needs to inaugurate this Computer
center is modest ($4,000 ). Half of that has already been 
raised . With an active particpation from India and abroad , 
we as a community with our respective AchAryA's blessings 
should be able to complete the task of raising the remaining $2,000.

In USA and India , the funds donated are Tax free.
Please help generously. 

Thank you all !
