A Big Thank you to all the supporters of the AchArya RaamAnujA CD ROM Kaimkaryam

[Guest guest]

Dear BhakthAs :

 

Let me take this opportunity to thank every one of

you , who have supported this new Kaimkaryam (i-e)

the Use of New Media for the growth of our sampradhAyam

and the release of the First CD ROM in this series.

 

It is very important to take the time to thank you all because

there should not at anytime be even a fleeting impression

that Your magnificient upakArams to bring these Kaimkaryams

to fruition are forgotten or taken for granted . This goes for

all of us, who raise funds for different kaimkaryams.Appropriate

and timely acknowledgemnts from AchAryAs or from the temples

are a must. Unless , a donor wants to keep his or her privacy ,

which happens some time, the name of the particpants should be

recorded in public and thanked . The AchAryAs should also be

appraised of their SishyA's help .

 

Now that we have started the distribution of the CD ROM

after a lot of trials and tribulations in managing a new project ,

it is time to extend our sincere thanks to every one

of you .If we have left out any one due to our inefficient

book keeping , please correct us .The support came from

BhakthAs here, Singapore and Bahrain as well as in India.

 

First & foremost level of thanks and gratitude is to Srimath

HH the Current Jeeyar of Ahobila Mutt , who blesses us all

thru a video anugraha BhAshaNam at the beginning of this CD ROM .

The help of the Ahobila Matam officials of North America

in supporting this program in sending the collected funds to

the Tax Free Foundation in India twice is very much appreciated .

The CD ROM expressly has two screens at the begining and

one at the end that acknowledges their valuable support .

Our thanks are to Sriman Raghavan Rajaji , the President of

the Sri Matam here and Sri P.Dileepan ,the secretary of the Mutt

and other members of the Board for enthusing us to create

the Vadakalai version of this CD ROM. The Tennkalai version is

just about ready with support form an Indian philanthropher ,

who has advanced the funds as a loan to produce 500 copies

for Tennkalai SampradhAyins and pay him back later from

the successful marketing of that version to AasthikAs .

 

Here is a "complete List " of the Donors in no

particular order , who have generously supported

this kaimkaryam and stood by patiently for extended

periods of time , as we made the many revisions

to the CD ROM during the past 12 months almost

as we meandered thru a lot of trials and errors.

 

Those BhakthAs ,whose copies have been mailed in

the first round have an asterik next to their names (*).

Those supporting BhakthAs , whose addresses are not

available to me at this time are requested to send me

their addresses to send the CD ROM . A dollar sign( $ )

after their names idnetifies them . I request all BhakthAs

who have received the CD ROM to acknowledge receipt

and to let us know of your kind comments/observations

on the design and conetent. The "Complete list "
