I would like to give my introduction to the group, as I am a new member. Born in Kerala (the erstwhile Travancore State) as the only son of a Sanskrit scholar by name Mahopaddhyaya K.G. Vancheswara Sastry, I had my formal education at Mavelikara and Trivandrum. My career was made in Bombay when I joined the Esso Refinery (Stanvac at that time), had 15 years of service in the operations and left to take up a more senior job in Madras Refineries, Madras. Here also, I was in Refinery operations, and retired as a Senior Manager in 1989. My father had co-authored a Malayalam commentary on Narayaneeyam, which was published in the 1930s, and was very well-received at that time, and had won appreciation of all intellectual giants of that era. It was named " Bhaktaranjini commentary " and was an exhaustive commentary, the like of which had not been attempted by anyone else in the past. As the readership of this scholarly commentary was limited to the Malayalam reading devotees, a few like-minded friends including me, thought of creating an English version of the same and present it to posterity. . Shri. S.N. Sastri, who had himself written a book on Narayaneeyam in 1988 and published thru the Chinmaya Mission agreed to edit the Vedanta aspects of this book also. After 6 years of toil on our home pcs, we published the book in July, 2005. Swami Dayananda Saraswati of the Arsha Vidya Gurukulam, who was deeply impressed by the book, wrote the Foreword, and His Holiness Himself released the book in Bangalore in July 2005. The book is a no-profit venture and aims only at philanthropy if any profit accrues by chance. The literary review on the book in three volumes, running over 1500 pages, appeared in the Hindu of the issue of 14th June 2005. The book is moderately priced at Rs. 800/- for a set of three volumes. There have been many buyers from India, United states and other countries, and they all have appreciated the book. If anybody would like to see the commentary, he can access the web-site www.narayaneeyam.com which gives all details of the book, and four chapters of the commentary, dasakams 1, 34, 35 and 100, as specimens. I have settled at Bangalore. I actively participate in Bhagavatam, ..Narayaneeyam, Bhagavadgita, Vishnu Sahasranamam, etc., which is my only preoccupation in life. Spreading the importance of Bhakti-yoga is my ambition in life. Radhe Krishna! Regards K.V.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Dear Shree Balagopal, Ganapathy Raman and other respected members of the group, Radhe Krishna! My sincere thanks to you all for the kindness shown to me by admitting me into the group. Dhanyosmi; Anugriheethosmi. That is all I can say. As an ardent devotee of the Lord and the dasa of all dasas of Lord Guruvayoorappan, I am here, in all humility to obey the command. I do not how and what I can contribute to the group, except singing His praise which I am doing all the time. Comparing me to Mrs. Saroja Ramanujam is like comparong the firefly to the effulgence of the sun. The name Balagopal brings to my mind all the time, the form of the Lord Madana-gopala-murthy, whom the poet Bhattatiri was picturising in his mind all the time and who was the central figure in all his writings, whether it is Narayaneeyam or Prakriya-sarvaswom. I pay my humble obeisance to that form of Madana-gopala-murthy, with prayers to him to shower an abundance of Ayur-arogya-soukhyam on all his devotees, why only devotees, on all living beings, and convert them, those non-devotees also into devotees, by showering His grace. Yours, in devotion, K.V. Gopalakrishna. balagopal ramakrishnan wrote: > HARI AUM > > Dear Shree Gopalakrishna, > > We are really proud and fortunate to have you in our > group.
