Dear BhakthAs :

 

1 . One of our dear members had the following

query addressed to me . I have coverd this

subject in my January , 1996 posting , which is

archived in the Bhakthi list archives .

Others , who might be interested

in this topic are welcome to refer to it.

 

2 . I am delighted to read the posting from

Sri MadhavakkaNNan on his plans to cover

kaliyan"s P{eriya Thirumozhi.

 

It is most welcome news in the context

of the efforts to publicize the greatness

and beauty of our Divya prabhandhams referred to

in Sri Mani VaradarAjan's posting .

 

Srimathi KrishnamAchAri , Sriman Sampath Rengarajan

are bringing us insights in to ANDAL's aruLiccheyalkaL

in addition to Sri Mani VaradarAjan's own efforts related

arumpadha URai on individual paasurams of ThiruppAvai .

Sri MadhavakkaNNan has completed his coverage

of ThiruvAimozhi and Naanmuhan ThiruvanthAdhi .

Hopefully ,we will have the rest of the prabhandhams

covered gradually for the sake of completeness .

We need these postings at numbe rof levels to

reach people at many levels .

 

I am delighted to hear that Sri Thirumalai ANDAn Varadhan

will soon start a Kaimkaryam on the most significant

Prabhandham of Madhura Kavi AzhwAr . This is a

kathavya Prathignai on his part and it can not be

more timely inview of the emphasis

on AchArya Nishtai by Sri Madhura Kavi AzhwAr.

the Bhakthi List archives.The dates
