SrI:

Dear Raama BhakthAs :

Back in 1989 , adiyEn wrote one essay on each of the Five 
Ghana Raaga Pancharathnams set in Naattai , GhouLai , Aarabhi ,
VarALi and Sri Raagams .The purpose  was for the Musicians 
and Musicologists to enjoy the krithis with additional  knowledge
of the meaning of the divine Saahithyams . 

During 1990 , thse essays were released in a book format with
forewords from HH Kaanchi SankarachArya of Kaama Koti PeeDam ,
Sangeetha Kalanidhis (Late ) Semmangudi SrinivAsa Iyer and 
K.V.Narayanaswamy , Composer Dr.Svarna VenkatEsa Dikshithar
of Chidambharam .

The annotated commentary came to 336 Pages and contains
many references to Raama Bhakthi of Saint ThyagarAja , AzhwArs 
and quotations from VedAs relating  to SaraNAthy Tatthvam .

These five essays are in Tamil with extensive quotations in Sanskrit 
and  English . The essays discuss Raaga LakshaNams , bhakthi-laden
Padha prayOgams found in these magnificent Krithis . 

We made  1000 copies of the book and only one is left with me now ,
here in New York . Back in India , My sister may have a copy or two .
As the BaguLa Panchami day approaches and the Annual AarAdhanam
festival takes place  

I am thinking of scanning the original  book ( 336 pages of tem all )
and place it as a scanned document for world wide availability .

I will be happy to lend this Library copy to a Volunteer , who may
wish to take part in the scanning of these pages and create 
the digital document .

Are there any volunteers ? Please contact me if interested 
to join in this Kaimkaryam to the Carnatic Music world ?

Thanks in advance ,
