> ANNOUNCEMENT

> ------------

>

>The " Tiruvenkatam Group " , Kuwait, is happy and proud

>to announce the forthcoming publication of " Hinduism

>Rediscovered " authored by Sri.Anbil Ramaswamy.

>

>In his capacity as the owner-editor of the electronic

>journal " SriRangasri " , Sri Ramaswamy over the years

>has written several excellent articles on Hindu

>scripture, philosophy, theology and religion with

>especial accent on the Vedantic school of Sri

>Ramanujacharya which today has come to be known as

>'SriVaishnavam'. These articles remain till today

>archived in digital format at the " Sri Ranga Sri " and

>other Internet web-sites on the worldwide Internet.

>

>The members of the Tiruvenkatam Group, Kuwait, had for

>long regarded these archived articles of Sri Ramaswamy

>as a very valuable and well-researched source of

>information and reference on many important topics of

>SriVaishnavam. As we all know Sri Anbil Ramaswamy not

>only brings scholarly depth and thoroughness to bear

>on the subjects dealt with but also presents it all in

>simple language and idiom appealing both to the lay

>and modern sensibility.

>

>It is for the above reason that the Tiruvenkatam Group

>felt that the archived articles at 'SriRangasri'

>should find a much wider and more popular audience of

>readers and students of SriVaishnavam than at present.

>We have therefore decided to publish them as a

>handsome book so that eventually " Hinduism

>Re-discovered " truly assumes the form it deserves viz.

>as a concise but comprehensive encyclopaedia of

>SriVaishnavite thought on Vedanta.

>

> ****************

>

>The " Tiruvenkatam Group " is a non-institutional,

>non-profit and non-formal 'satsangh' of persons living

>and working in Kuwait. The Group comprises of NRI

>(non-resident Indians) professionals, who along with

>their families, have been brought together by common

>religious devotion and attachment for the Deity of

>Tiruvenkatam, Lord Venkateshwara. The Group engages

>itself in both religious activities and charity work

>in Kuwait. The activities include:

>

>„h organizing community 'satsangh'

>„h enable forums for learning Vedas,

>Divya-Prabhandhams and other Vedantic scriptural works

>

>„h raise charity for religious institutions in

>India such as temples, 'veda-pAtashAlA', Mutts and

>Ashrams.

>„h cooperate with other religious-minded

>associations, both in Kuwait and elsewhere in India or

>abroad, in support of endeavours that seek to promote

>and further the cause of Vedic worship and Vedantic

>faith.

>„h publish in order to popularize the rich,

>ancient literature of the Vedantic faith (the

>'itihAsa', 'purana', Upanishads, the works of Vedantic

>'achAryAs' and seers etc.)

>„h maintain the Group's own web-site at

>Tiruvenkatam

>

>The small band of men and women in Kuwait that today

>calls itself the " Tiruvenkatam Group " thus vigorously

>pursues its above goals in quiet but constructive

>ways. The publication of " Hinduism Re-discovered " is

>an example of the Group's continuing commitment to its

>stated goals.
