Abouit Myself

[Guest guest]

Namsthe

Till recently (i.e., up to July 2000), I was a Senior Systems

Engineer specialized in Telecommunications, providing technical

support in the Telecommunications Network Design and Implementation

of emerging new Technologies for the national and international

Communication Networks. I took early retirement from professional

jobs.

I moved to USA in 1973 where I came across SrI vishNu sahasranAma

samkIrtana, M. S. Subbalaksmi's audio tape. That was the first time,

I heard SrI vishNu sahasranAma samkIrtana in musical form on a small

tape recorder and I got hooked on to it. Thus, I started chanting SrI

vishNu sahasranAmamulu.

In 1981, I moved to Ottawa, Canada and I was persuaded to become

executive member of the South India Cultural Association in 1983 -

1984 time frame. During that time, I collected several audio music

concert tapes and bought a good audio system. I started hearing

classical music for several hours every day at home or at the office.

I regularly chant and read SrImadBagavadgIta SrI vishNnu Sahasra

nAma samkIrtana, lalitA sahasra nAma samkIrtana and SrIrudram. I also

participate and organize these events on a regular basis in the Hindu

Tempe of Ottawa, Canada.

I started composing lyrics (SrI haridAsa samkIrtanamulu) with the

Grace of the Lord on different deities in spite of my awfully busy

office schedules in North America. It took almost two years to

develop the desk top version of Telugu manuscript.

These lyrics bear "haridAsa" as the "mudra" and they are organized

into four parts: Recently, the SrI haridAsa samkIrtanamulu lyrics

(Parts 1, 2, 3 & 4) were transliterated into English and Hindi

transliteration, (using ITRANS version 5.23 scheme). By the Grace of

the Lord, I published these lyrics on the web for general access to

the public and a CD was also released..
