Dear BhakthAs : This welcome announcement would 
be of interst to many of you . For those , who want to
practise to learn these Sri Sookthis of Swami Desikan 
with the right pronunciation and stops , these tapes will 
be invaluabale .THEY COME FROM THE LIPS OF 
A GREAT ACHAARYA , WHO PERFORMS AARAADHANAM 
FOR SRI RANGANAATHA PAADHUKHAAS . 

I had the good fortune to study PaadhukhA 
sahasram and the three Gadhyams earlier .
It will be a bhAgyam now to listen to Sri Ranga 
RaamAnuja MahA Desikan recite Swami Desikan's 
marvellous and holy Sri Sookthi and invite those
auspicious Naadham into our houses . I have placed my 
request for purchase of the casettes with Sri R.Srinivasan
has kindly agreed to send the tapes and CDs for those who
wish to purchase them through his son , who is now in India 
and will be returning to Dallas on April 19.

I recommend these rare tapes to you for your
private collections and nithya anusandhAnams .
Nothing but MangaLam can come our way , when 
we hear these PaadhukhA sahasra slOkams
full of Maanthric power .Please write directly 
to Sri R.Srinivasan to get your copies . 

Today is Pangnui kEttai and the day of 
Hanumantha Vaahana Sevai at Oppiliappan Koil 
( panguni Uthsavam ) . On this day , I had
the BhAgyam of being born under the shadow of 
Sri Oppiliappan's Thiruvadi carried by the Chinna 
Thiruvadi ;I take the pledge today to write on two most 
important granthams dear to Sri VaishNavAs before the
arrival of another birthday .Those are :

(1)Prapanna PaarijAtham of NadAdhUr AmmAL,
the prAchAryA of Swami Sri Desikan to
understand better the SaraNAgathi Saasthram
with all its PramANams . Abhinava Desikan ,
Sri UtthamUr Swami has commented on it 
in Tamil , English and Hindi earlier .
adiyEn will try to share with you additional
details and connect it to the Vedic roots
of SaraNAgathi .AdiyEn will release those postings
in SaraNAgathi journal. 

(2)Sri Ranganaatha paadhukhA sahasra sthOthram
of our own Swami Sri Desikan : I am glad 
that Dr.V.N.vedantha Desikan's book on
this sthOthram has been released by LIFCO.
I will record in future articles the paddhathis
that I have not covered so far in greater depth
following the brilliant commentaries of 
the Srirangam ANDavan sanyAsa Paramparai and 
Param padha Vaasi Abhinava Desika Sri UttamUr Swamy .
Sri RanganAtha Paadhukhai is the most important
object of worship for Srirangam ANDavan paramparai.
Let us reflect on SatakOpa Muni, who is 
the RanganAtha Paadhukai . 

If the AchAryAs and Sri Lakshmi HayagrIvan bless me 
to complete this kaimkaryam and bring the following 
kaimkarya ThEr to nilai in partnership with fellow bhakthAs , 
then I would feel like a krutha krithyan 
(Janma Saapalyam )and feel blessed by this
Sri VaishNava sathsangam :

(1) AchArya RaamAnujA CD ROM ( in Beta test stage now)
(2) 108 Divya Desam Web pages and CD ROM 
(3) Swami Desikan Life and works : CD ROM
