As highlighted by Sriman Sadagopan, there are multiple ways to learn

Swami Desikan Sookthis some of which is highlighted below for the

benefit of all bhagavathas interested to learn with contact details.

 

1. Weekly Sthothram & Prabhandham classes on the tele-bridge (free)

with the comfort of learning from your home with a teacher.

Information can be obtained at www..org. We have

completed teaching 5 prabhandhams and 5 Desika Sthothrams in the

class. Bhagavathas of all ages (including those attending school )

are also welcome for this class.

 

2. Online Santhai materials (as taught in the traditional class in

Saturdays' tele-bridge) in real-audio format. You can learn at your

own pace and your convenient time. Available both at

www..org

 

3. Listen and Recite together (not santhai) in mpeg format. Available

in www.prappatti.com

 

4. Sthothras document in various languages (english, tamil, sanskrit,

telugu, kannada, hindi, bengali etc). www.prappatti.com

 

5. Audio CD Roms of all Desika sthothrams in 6 volumes. Available for

purchase at www..org

 

6. Meanings of many of Swami Desika Sthothrams are available at Bhakti

Archives. You can access them at

http://www.ramanuja.org/sv/bhakti/about.html

 

7. There are many knowledgeable bhagavathas in various areas thorought

out the world who I am sure would be willing to teach and impart our

sampradayam to seeking bhagavathas and we should utilize their

proximity to us to our benefit.
