Guest guest Posted September 1, 1998 Report Share Posted September 1, 1998 Dear Bhagavadh RaamAnuja SiddhAntha SampradAyins : I am moved beyond words to have seen the fruits of the extraordianry efforts by the AnanthA Research Foundation to develop and deliver against unbelievable time pressures the above CD ROM of high artistic and spirtual content as a tribute to AchArya RaamAnujA .Sriman NaarAyaNA and MahA Lakshmi have blessed this kaimkaryam . Please remember that it is an extended demo focussing on two areas : (1) AchAryA's Nine granthams (2) Sri VaishNava AarAdhanam as prescribed by AchAryA RaamAnujA in his Nithya Grantham . Lot more details on the individual granthams will be added in the complete version under the sub-sections " Tell me more ". When it is finished , this CD ROM will be a mini-reference manual at one level and most pleasing to look at (images ) and wonderful audio on the slOkams and Vedam as well as Divya Prabhandha Saatthumurai . Thus it should be of interest to BhakthAs at every level in their spiritual pursuits . If the appropriate desk top equipment ( Mutimedia Computer) is avialable , those of you attending the 600th anniversary of the Founding of Ahobila Mutt at Stirling , NJ can see it on Sunday , September 6 in the afternoon . I want to thank now the 22 BhAgavathAs , who came forward to provide $3,275 support against the needed $4,000 for preparing the Extended Demo Version as a taste of things to come . $1,008 of the above funds came from a group of Nine BhakthAs from Bahrain , another $1,008 came from one BhakthA in USA and the remaining $1,259 was contributed by Twelve BhakthAs of the Bhakthi List from USA and Singapore . My salutations to all of these 22 BhagavathAs for such generous response . Although I am surprised at the lack of adequate response from this group devoted to the understanding of Sri VaishNavism and the works of AzhwArs and AchAryAls , I continue to believe that they will come thru during the next few weeks to help raise the remaining funds needed to complete this unique Kaimkaryam .I am one of those eternal optimists in BhagavAn's anugrahams . He has gotten us this far and he will guide us thru the rest of the way . Please send your contributions and pledges , if you have not already done so to Sriman Dileepan . I thank you in advance . The MahOpakAram done by the group of Scholars in Mysore and Melkote affilaited with the Anantha Research Foundation is some thing that we can not repay . When you see the images of ThiruvenkatamudayAN and ThirunArAyaNA of Melkote and see the steps of Bhagavadh AarAdhanam demonstrated step by step , you will agree with me about the need for all of us to rally to support this type of kaimkaryam to the best of our abilities .Please contact me , if you need addiitonal information on this project .

Guest guest Posted September 3, 1998 Report Share Posted September 3, 1998 Hare Krishna. I have some questions regarding the CD ROM title that is being described. As it is focusing on Raamaanuja Aachaarya's granthas, does it contain the full Sanskrit texts and English translation? What Sanskrit scriptures or commentaries can we expect to see in the final product of the CD ROM? How much will the CD ROM be sold for? When will the final product be available? I apologize if these questions have been covered in the past. My level of participation in the bhakti list has waned recently owing to school pressures, and I realize I may have missed this information if it was presented in an earlier post. Nevertheless, I would definitely appreciate the clarification. adiyEn, Krishna Susarla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
