an appeal to asthikas

[Guest guest]

Dear Prapannas, I recently received an appeal from the Andavan Asramam

requesting donations for the publication of the third volume of Chillarai

Rahasyangal of Swamy Desikan. I would like to bring this to your kind

attention.

 

the text of the appeal follows :

Srimathe Nigamantha Mahadesikaya Namaha

 

An Appeal to Asthikas

 

We have great pleasure in bringing to your kind notice that Srimad Andavan

of Srimad Poundareekapuram Swamy Asramam, Srirangam, has been kind enough to

fulfil the long-cherished desire of Srivaishnavas by taking up the publication

of the third volume of Chillarai Rahasyangal of Swamy Desikan with the notes

and summary (in Tamil) prepared by the well known scholar Vangeepuram

Navaneetem Sriramadesikachriar Swamy of Oppiliappan Koil. This is the last

volume in this series. His Holiness has entrusted the execution of the

publication to a committee consisting of the following members :

 

1. Srimad Andavan, (President)

Srimad Poundareekapuram Swamy Asramam, Srirangam

 

2. Sri R.Krishnan (Vice President)

 

3. Dr. S.Parthasarathy (Secretary & Treasurer)

 

4. Sri U.Ve.T.E.Ranganathachariar Swami

 

5. Sri C.R.Srinivasan

 

6. Sri P.A.Ranganatha Thathachariar

 

7. Sri S.Rajagopalan

 

Such an ambitious project cannot be executed without generous contributions

from institutions and individuals with a philanthropic bent of mind. Given

the nature of the work, we have to depend on patrons' contributions rather

than sales. We therefore appeal to you to join this noble endeavour by

way of generous contributions which may be sent through A/C payee in the

name of S.Parthasarathy and thereby earn the blessings of Swamy Desikan

and Sriman Narayana.

 

S.Parthasarathy

(Secretary & Treasurer)

Sri Desika Sadanam

I am told that they need Rs.30,000 to complete this project in the next

two months. If you plan to send $50 or more, your name will be included

as one of the donors. If it is for a lesser amount, it would be better

of one single person to collect these cheques (I can do this) and send

a consolidated DD to Dr.Parthasarathy.

 

thank you

[Guest guest]

this is a follow-up on my previous mail. for people who plan to send

less than $50, i think it would be worth while to send your cheque

to me (in my name) and i will send the consolidated amount to

Dr.Parthasarathy.

 

my address is : 1024, Wharton Drive, Newark, DE 19711
