SrI:
Dear BhakthAs :
 
Number of You have written to me about how to acquire the above set of
Two CD ROMs . Here are some additional comments in this context :
 
(1) Before adiyEn provides that information , adiyEn would like to invite
Your attention to  the Tamil Text and the English Meanings of the three
Gadhyams of AchArya RaamAnuja provided by Our Sri MadhavakkaNNan
of Srirangam and Simhapuri . Before you listen  to the excellent recital of
Sriamthi Nagamani  Srinath , it will be good to familarize yourself with the meanings
of the ChoorNikais of the three gadhyams .The URL for Sri MadhavakkaNNan's
translations is :
 
http://www.srivaishnava.org/sv/rama/gadya.htm
 
(2) Sri V.Srinivasan , the National organizer of Smt.Nagamani's 2005 concert Tour
in USA and Canada has kindly agreed to send you the CD ROMs of the three gadhyams .
These two CD ROMs have been priced at $20 per set .$5 from the sale of each of
these sets will be donated to Lord RanganAthA's Temple at Pomona , NY
( http://www.Ranganatha.org) .
 
(3) You can contact Sriman Srinivasan at Sashti@xxxxxxxxxxx  with your requests.
Your check should be addressed to " Optimight Consulting LLC". His mailing
address is :

Garland , TX 75043-2246
 
(4) adiyEn has heard the two wonderful CD ROMs , which show musical 
craftsmanship , the correct Sanskrit UccharaNam of Complex passages ,
the proper sandhi bhEdhams and brilliantly intutive selection of many 
RaagAs to suit the spirit of the different SoorNikais .
 
(5) Twenty Nine RaagAs are elaborately  developed step by step to accompany
the different gadhyam passages (M) .  The Svaroopam of Few more RaagAs are
given in between in the humming form(H)  without elaboration to provide link and
continuity . This combination of rendering the brief and long svaroopams /
LakshaNams of the RaagAs to pause /parse according to the Bhaava and
the meaning of the gadhyam passages(Saahithyam here) is clever. This is deliberate
because the detailed elaboration of all of the 45 raagAs would interfere unduly
with the meaning of the Saahithyam ; hence only glimpses of the RaagAs are
given without divulging their full svaroopam .
 
(6)Approximately  Seventeen Raagams are hummed or hinted by the Flutist or
Violinist .The remaining 28 RaagAs are developed elaborately during the rendering of
the three gadhyams . These 28 RaagAs slelected with exquisite taste are :
 
SaraNAgathi Gadhyam : (1) Bhouli (H)   , (2) PanthuvarALi (3) Sudha DhanyAsi
(4) Kaamavardhini (H) , (5) KalyANi , (6) AtaaNaa , (7) Varamu , a rare Raaga
used by Saint AnnamAchArya , (8) KeeravANi , (9) SoothradhAra , (10) SarasAngi
(11) HamsAnandhi , (12) MadhyamAvathi (13) BhoopALi .
 
Sriranga Gadhyam : (1) Aarabhi , (2) LathAngi , (3) Mohanam , (4) Nata Bhairavi .
 
Vaikunta Gadhyam  : (1) Vaasanthi (H) , (2) HindOLam , (3) Durgaa ,
(4) ShaNmukha PriyA , (5) AbhOgi , (6) Madhuvanthy , (7) Hamsadhwani ,
(8) Subha-PanthuvarALi (9) Chandra Kouns , (10) Kaanada , (11) KedAra GouLa
and ( 12) Surutti .  
 
In summary , this set of CD ROMs should be in the house of
every Sri VaishNava and should be heard as often as possible
to get closer to AchArya RaamAnujA's anubhavam of
SaraNAgathi performed before Srirangam Dampathis
on behalf of all of us .
