Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:
Srimathe Vara Vara Munaye Nama:
Srimathe Anantharya Mahagurave Nama

After reading Sri.TCA Venkatesan's article, I thought I will inform the
members of the list that I have been maintaining a website on Thirumalai
Anathazhvar at http://ananthazhvan.freeservers.com . My father has written
few articles in Tamil on Ananthazhvar Vaibhavam which are available both in
the HTML and pdf format. I will be very grateful if you can visit and give
your comments.
