srImathE rAmAnujAya namah.

 

dear bhAgavathAs,

 

We are glad to report some progress that has been

made regarding the Library project.

 

We recently purchased a lot of

very very valuable books (dating from 1920 -

1960) for the library. These include about 200

issues of the invaluable periodical "rAmANujan"

published by svAmi. {In kAnchipuram, we use

the word svAmi to denote just one person -

srI PBA svAmi; now we have around 350 issues of

this magazine; there are bound to be many

duplicates that we intend to sort out in the next

few weeks; we believe that there are a total of

630 issues}. Among those books are a few of

his commentaries and a copy of his autobiography.

One of these days, we will start summarizing

pieces of his extensive biography that contains

details about the AchAryAs that our religion

had in the first half of this century as well.

 

A request to members of the group. Please spread

the message that we are collecting sampradAya

books for a public library project. We either will

buy the books (if the owner wants to sell them,

as in the cases above), or xerox the books and

return the original if the owner wishes to retain

them. svAmi's books are especially welcome.

He had written 420 books (excluding the monthly

periodicals - rAmAnujan and vaidika manOhara)

by 1956! He was in this world till 1982 or so.

We can only imagine how many works he did

in his lifetime.

 

We are dutibouond to collect and maintain as

many of his works as available today. To

give an example of His divine abilities, we

have a copy of a commentary he wrote on

rAmAnuja nUrrandhAdhi when he was 12! - That

commentary is incredible in its depth and its

content.

 

Please help our sampradAyam by spreading the

message to your relatives. Most of these books

are in a very dilapidated state and will last

only a few more years. We have to digitize them

somehow so that we can preserve the content.

Anyone known to you that used to get svAmi's books

are a potential source {especially if you

have seen old wooden almyrahs in their homes :)}.

 

AzhvAr emperumAnAr jIyar thiruvadigaLE saraNam,

Srimathe Ramanujaye namaha

Dear Srivaishnavas

Adiyen wish to convey my special Thanks to Varadhan in this reg and also at

the same time wish to bring to your notice that the magazine earlier

published by Swamy is now getting reprinted by SriVaishanava Sri ,

Krishnamachariar and its getting a new look.

At this time I wish to inform you that I have d initially 4 copies

for myself and others at US and got the first package from him also.

So, now if any one wants to for that magazine pl let me know. The

articles from Swamy are so beautiful even Adiyen can understand and learn

progressively.

 

Our initial aim is to learn through the various Upanyasam tele-lectures, I

am sure that US Srivaishnavas are more fortunate than any one else to hear

such wide variety and knowledgeful Upanyasams from great Acharyas who are

taking so much of strains(though they never feel so) in explaining to us

including QA session at late hours, I could see His Nerhethuva Kripa in this

reg., nothing more can suit this case.

After doing so much of home work , I think we should progress further and

should read monthly magazines and get ourselves clarified with all

information and knowledge. Any clarification that we need while reading can

be posted to mailing list or raise during QA sessions.

 

 

Sorry for the detailed message, Adiyen wish to inform US resident

Srivaishnavas to just mail me if they are interested in getting the

follwoing magazines

 

Ramanujan- The magazine getting republished by SriVaishnava Sri

 

PanchaSanyam and Thiruvarangan Nagar Ula

- Monthly magazine from SriVaishnavaSri

 

YathirajaPaduka- By Dr.VV Ramanujam (publishing for last 2 decades)

 

Pl note that I am also talking to Dr.MA VenkataKrishnan Swamy to get

Geethacharyan magazines here.

 

By subscribing, we are not only getting enriched but also serving various

SriVaishnava Kaimkaryam which I will mail later.

 

I would request feedback from Srivaishnavas residing in US in this reg.

 

Thanks to Varadhan for laying a good platform for me.
