For people in India, where do we get the CDs from? We can get the
books from Sri Vaishnava Sri. Can you please help us out?

Pillai Lokachariar (Ulagarian) in the year 1205 CE. He fulfilled His
salkalpam (mission) by writing 18 Rahasya granthas. We can proudly
claim that He is our "Mudal" (first) Acharya to preserve these Rahasya
granthas for future generations in written document. He stayed on this
BhuLoka for 106 years and He ended His avatara after protecting Lord
Ranganatha from muslim invasion in the year 1311 CE.

confirmed the basics of Sri Vaishnava sampradayam in his 18 works
popularly known as Ashtadasa Rahasyangal. Every small detail of
Rahasyatrayam, Tatva trayam and the doctrine of unconditional
surrender (Saranagati) are explained in His divine works. This
collection of 18 works is a godsend to everybody and a must for every
jeevathma who wants to be released from the bondage of samsara. These
works are the oars and guiding lights that help us cross the vast
ocean of samsara. (We know we can not cross it by ourselves.)

> The purpose of life for every SriVaishnava is to attain eternal
bliss (constant service to Lord Srimannarayana). The Ashtadasa
Rahasyas leads us to this goal. This is why Swami Pillai Lokachar gave
us these written Granthas that were previously passed on only orally
from Acharya to Sishya. He wanted to preserve and share this knowledge
with all of us (the future generations). This shows his concern and
love for us. For all that he has done for us we should try to learn
these Rahasyas in our life time.

Pillai Lokacharya's 800th Tirunakshatram (Aippasi- Thiruvonam) soon.
Let us take the first step in learning the Ashtadasa Rahasyams, by
reading all 18 Rahasyas and listening to few that are readily
available. (10 rahasyas out of the 18).

introduction. He is honored with many titles by illustrious scholars,
including major Universities. His simple, but eloquent discourses
keeps the audience captivated. Now Vedics Foundation is previlaged to
bring these discourses by Sri U. Ve Krishnan Swami on 10 Rahasyas with
a total talk time of 126 hours being released in mp3 format. This CD
set comes with a 800 page book containing the Ashtadasa Rahasyams
published by Srivaishnava sri / Sudarsanam.

to learn Ashtadasa rahasyas at least once in their lifetime. Though
the mechanical mundane world tries to rule us, we should find time to
learn these Rahasyas. The language used in the text and audio is Tamil.
