"SRI RANGA SRI"
FIRST ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2000-2001 A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
=============================================================================================================================================
Dear Bhagavatas:
You might have noticed that the last "Regular" Issue of "Sri Ranga Sri" 
was # 15 of Vol.2 dated 13th August 2001 
(after the 27 issues in Volume 1 released earlier)

This is due to the following facts:

1. When "Sri Ranga Sri" was launched on Swami Desikan's 
Tirunakshatram day on 8th October 2000, we planned weekly releases 
working out to 52 issues in a full year from 8th October 2000 to 7th 
October 2001. 

2. Vacations taken for attending the Sathabishekam celebrations of 
H.H. Srimad Andavan of Poundarikapuram Ashramam, Srirangam, and for 
attending series of Conferences like Sri Ramanuja Jayanthi at New Jersey, 
Samprokshanam of Sri Ranganatha Temple at Pomona, Ahobila Matam 
Acharya Conference at Washington DC and the 5th Anniversary 
Conference of SDDS to celebrate the Tirunakshatrams of 
Tiruvenkatamudaiyan and Swami Desikan plus the first Anniversary 
of "Sri Ranga Sri" at Buffalo, New York contributed to limiting the 
number of issues. 

3. Computer virus during the year frequently played havoc to the 
system and this also slowed down the releases.

4. In spite of all these, within less than 10 months from 8th October 
2000 to 13th August 2001, as many as 54 issues had actually been released 
(42 "Regular" issues plus over 12 "Special Issues"), that is, more 
than the 52 planned besides other postings mentioned below.

5. However, we have been approving over 600 postings on Tele-Upanyasams, 
Tele- Stotra classes. announcements regarding release of Audio and Video 
Cassettes, CDs, Appeals for funds for various Kainkaryams etc 
besides a few other discussions (so long as they were not repugnant 
to the stated objectives of the Journal) 
? all with a view to encourage "Reader participation" 

As you know, all these have been archived for public view at
"http://groups.yahoo.com/group/srirangasri";

6. Recently, due to developing Cataract, the undersigned could not 
keep staring at the monitor for long hours. My surgery is scheduled 
for 18th October 2001. With the prayers and blessings of Bhagavtas 
like you, I hope to be able to resume a more active role after the 
surgery. 

7. The scholarly materials granted by Acharyas and erdite Vidwans(
both in India and elsewhere)for exclusive publication in "Sri Ranga Sri" 
will keep us going for at least another couple of years, 
- even assuming we can resort to daily issues!

8. We requested our members and members of the other yahoo group 
fraternity to enroll as many members as possible or at least 
one new member each by encouraging them to send an email to -
SriRangaSri-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 

In the alternative, we also suggested to them that (provided they were 
satisfied with the form and contents and the usefulness of the journal), 
to recommend those who may be ?REALLY? interested in joining, for directly 
including them in our mailing list. 

Thanks to their help and cooperation, and the interest shown by new members
on their own volition, our membership has risen to about 750 
WITHIN THIS ONE YEAR!


9. INVITATION FOR SUDARSANA HOMAM

I have great pleasure in cordially inviting you with 
your family and friends to attend `Sudarsana Homam" at my Atlanta 
home on Saturday, 3rd November 2001. This will be an auspicious 
occasion for all of us to have a get-together. 

Please mark your calendar, finalize your travel plans early and 
inform us -RSVP- for our making necessary arrangements for 
picking up / drop off, accommodation etc. (of outstation attendees) 
and for providing you directions and other details.

Looking forward to meeting you soon and thanking you for your continued support.
