Dear SrIvaishNavAs,

nUtana samvatsara SubhAsamsa!

A Very happy Paartiva Samvatsaram!

It is very essential that everybody has to learn SampradAya Stotrams

by heart. It's for Elders and for yound ones alike.

When it comes to Svami dESikan stOtram we have have an extraordinary

passion towards them. Not only SrIvaishnavAs, it is well known that

these stotrams are learnt by all kinds of Asthikas.

Considering the fast paced and global life which we lead nowadays, do

we have enough time to learn them in traditional manner and without

mistakes in pronunciation. We don't!

If we learn them in Gurukula style how nice it would be!

With this wish, we approached SrI. U.vE (Dr) PV Satakopa TatachArya

svami of Kanchipuram, an ardent dESika bhaktar.

Svami took it with all earnest and unbridled enthusiasm and fulfilled

our wish in a lightning speed of less than 15 days time.

With his Colleague, SrI.U.vE. (Dr) O.R Vijayaraghavan enacting the

role of a learner, svami recorded almost all of Svami dESikan

stOtrams in Traditional PaaTam style. (25 stotrams+dESika Mangalam+

4 slokAs of DivyadESa MangalAsASanam)

Now a small group of learners in Singapore find this CD an invaluable

treasure (we are using it as a tool in our Stotra-pATam session). We

requested SrI. Tatacharya svami to release the same for the whole

world of AstikAs, which svami readily accepted.

And today, the auspicious starting day of a new Samvatsaram,

Sri.Vilakkoli Perumal Thooppul Vedantha Desikar Charitable Trust and

SrIsUkti rachAriNi sabhA-Singapore humbly release this treasure to

all of you and offer this small effort at the lotus feet of our

AchArya sArvaboumar, Svami dESikan.

While we are readily equipped to distribute the CD in Singapore,

Indonesia and India (For Gulf countries and UK, please write to us),

we will let you know the details of contact in the USA, in a day or

two.

You may wish to acquire a copy for you and your children. Please

contact srisukti (for southeast asia) and SrI.Satakopa

Tatachar svami at: tatacharya (for India/ Gulf/ UK). Also

you may wish to donate yataSakti towards a noble kaimkaryam, although

a nominal Rs.300 (or US$15) is recommended for this wonderful

Collection of Stotra PaaTam.

Please take a look on the CD-cover at:
