Guest guest Posted November 19, 1995 Report Share Posted November 19, 1995 Krish makes some good points about a paper publication versus a CD-ROM. I too would like to publish a nice, glossy monograph on the architectural splendor of the divya desams, incorporating the religious history of each site including the poetry of the Azhvaars. However the cost for such an endeavor would be prohibitive for this small group, and would involve *far* more coordination, time, money than I think is fair for our members. Furthermore, the CD-ROM is permanent. Sure, you cannot curl up with it, but while books can quickly go out of print, a CD-ROM can easily be reduplicated if the need arises. It is not so easy with a paper publication. Plus, children can be made aware of the entire multimedia experience -- the gosthi chanting prabandham and vedas, the utsavars and possibly moolavars, the architectural details, etc. In short, it is more practical for us to do the CD-ROM, unless one of us happens to be a publisher. In which case, I would encourage that person to take on the task of publishing a glossy book for us. Mani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
