 SrI:

 Dear All :

A serious effort is being made by a team of us to create a central site to
identify , register and print various VaishNavite Source literature ,
which might  be languishing / vegetating in private houses
of Acharyans and Scholars .

For instance , many Jeeyars of Ahobila Matam have blessed us
with their Sri Sookthis (Divine Books ) . Many of them are in
the format of Palm leaves document or books on acid paper .
These rare  perishable  treasures that need to be brought to light
and published or stored digitally  .

 To that extent , Sriman Sriram has created the following web site
 which can be useful to "unearth" as it were books and TaaLa Kosams
 that may be hiding in " the attics " . We need your cooperation to locate
 them , borrow them , scan them and return them . Some might get printed .

 In parallel , we are trying to complete the project that we started
(viz) to  scan  the pages of Sri Nrusimha PriyA issues going back to
the year of its  founding ,  1942 by HH InjimEttu Srimath Azhagiya Singar .
Before that , there was a  journal  by the name of VedAntha Dheepikai ,
where the articles of AchAryans and  Scholars  appeared regularly  .
We would like to locate them as well .

 The URL for your use for registry of these treasures is :

 Let me illustrate the situation with the Granthams created by One Azhagiya
 Singar :

 PillaipAkkam Srimath Azhagiya Singar ( March 1845-Dec 16 , 1899 C.E)
 ************************************************************************
He ascended the AchArya Peetam on Jan 31, 1899 and reigned until Dec 16 ,
1899 ,  barely ten and half months . He was a well known Scholar before
and spent  most of HIs time in and around ThiruveLLUr performing
Kamkaryams for  Sri Vasumathy SamEtha Sri Vaidhya VeerarAghava
PerumAl .

 He blessed us with 26 Sri  Sookthis . Some are tributes to PoorvAchAryAs
 and dhivya dEsa EmperumAns :

 (1) VedAntha Desika Vaibha Chandrika ,

 (2) Aadhi VaNN SaThakOpa YathIndhra Vaibhava chandrika ,

 (3) AchArya Sapthathy

 (4) YathirAja BhOga: ( Sri PerumpUthUr VaLLal)

 (5) GhOshtinATa Sthava: ( ThirukkOttiyUr PerumAL)

 Some of the others are difficult Saasthra Granthams :

 6) VedAntha KOusthubha Saaram

 7) MakAra RakshA

 8) NyAya SiddhAnjana grantha gandha:

 9) VAADHA TARANGINEE (  I am fortunate to have a copy of this grantham)

 10) arkaLa panchakam  .

 Sixteen more granthams were bequeathed to us by HH PiLLaipAkkam
Azhagiya Singar .

 We have to find out who has these copies and where these are .

 The Manuscript/Book Registry should be of help in this context .

Soon , adiyEn will list  all the books known to have been written by
all the Azhagiya  Singars . Some of the Azhagiya Singars concentrated only
on  KaalakshEpams . Others were prolific in writing .

Please remember paper came in to use for wriitng and printing
only around 1850 C.E. in India .

 AdiyEn is positive  that there are significant libraries at ParakAla Matam
,
Poundarikapuram Andavan Aaasramam and PeriyAsramam , Purisai
Swamigal's ThirumALikai , UtthamUr Swamy's ThirumALikai and VaanamAmalai
Matam Jeeyar's library , MadhurAnthakam School Library et al .

We have to catalog them and start the process of bringing to light these
treasures  for the benefit of future generations . A team of devotees are
needed to  gain  momentum . Please contact me for additional details .
Thanks .

Our plans are to release the first batch of these Sri Sookthis in Decmber ,
2006 ,  the grand occasion of the 80th birthday of the Prakrutham Azhagiya
Singar  at SelayUr Sri Matam .

adiyEn seeks your participation in this significant project .
