>Dear BhakthAs:

>

>Thanks very much for your patience during the past few weeks,

>when the release of the new issues was not possible due to number

>of other pressing matters that required the attention of the

>Board Members. Sri Anbil Swamy, Srimans Sampath Rengarajan,

>Venkatesh Elayavalli and adiyEn sincerely appreciate your

>continued interest in the SaraNAgathi Journal. We have heard from

>some of you about the relevance of our effort and its usefulness

>to You. Please share your views with us to serve you better.

>

>Few timely items that took time away from our well-intentioned

>efforts to release the SaraNAgathi issues earlier are:

>

>(1) The enormous effort that went into the design and production

>of the first of its kind CD ROM on AchArya RAmunujA's Life and

>Sri Sookthis. With the AchAryA's blessings, the project has been

>completed and the CD ROM is ready for release on Swami Desikan's

>Thirunakshathram day (PurattAsi SravaNam). This kaimkaryam fits

>well with the central objectives of Swami Desika Darsana

>sathsangham, whose electronic journal is " SaraNAgathi ".

>

>(2) The time needed by V.S to help the creators of the Audio CD

>ROM version of Swamy Deasikan's SthOthra MaalA. The 28 SthOthrams

>have been recorded by Sri.Nadadur Madhavan of Sri RAmAnuja Kootam

>of Virginia with sampradhAya Suddham and high degree of audio

>fidelity. There are 6 volumes of audio CD ROM cassettes recorded

>by 2 ardent Desika BhakthAs from New Jersey. The first 3 volumes

>of these Sri Sookthis were earlier released in April 1999 and the

>remaining 3 including the Achyutha sathakam in Praakrith language

>are being released on September 19, 1999 at Sri RanganAthA temple

>at Pomona, NJ. Please contact any one of us regarding details on

>these interactive, audio and Multimedia cassettes on the Sri

>Sookthis and lives of AchArya RaamAnujA and Swami Sri Desikan.

>

>(3) Sri Sampath Rengarajan has been extremely tied up with fund

>raising efforts for the Once-in-a-lifetime Kaimkaryam of Sri

>KomaLavalli SamEtha Sri AarAvamudhan's SamprOkshaNam at Thiruk

>kudanthai. He raised a substantive amount of funds from fellow

>BhagavathAs from all over the world for this SamprOkshaNam. The

>most satisfying part is the allocation of the majority of these

>funds for a SvarNa kavacham for Sri AarAvamudhan. Sri Rengarajan

>was blessed to take part in this MahA Uthsavam at Thirukkudanthai

>and he used the occasion to visit number of Divya desams. He just

>returned from his trip.

>

>Let me stop here and state that we are very happy to restart this

>Kaimkaryam of publication of SaraNAgathi issues and seek your

>inputs, recommendations to serve you better in the months ahead.
