Dear BhakthAs : For few months now , both Dr.Murali Rangaswamy and myself have been releasing one slOkam a day of the powerful kaavyam of Swamy Desikan eulogizing the PaadhukAs of SrI RanganAtha , which are Swamy NammAzhwAr . We have to cover the rest of the 89 slOkams before Purattasi SravaNam this year to reach Kaimkarya Poorthy stage . Those BhakthAs interested in recieving these postings on the Paadhukais of Lord RanganAtha , the SRI RANGA SRI are requested to contact me . There is an excellent a web site created by SrI Achutharaman of Bangalore especially for SrI RanganAtha PaadhukA Sahasram . Please let me know if you need the URL for those web pages containing the postings on the 480 of the 1008 slOkams sofar . SrI MadhavakkaNNan of Singapore has also housed these postings in Swamy Desikan Home pages maintained by him and SrI AchutharAman . May the auspicious dhvani of the Lord's Padhukais sound in your homes ! NamO SrI RanganAthAya Daasan , V.Sadagopan ************************************************************** > Sri: > > SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, > > Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N.
