Dear Sri Krishna Bhaktas,

 

As far as I know, the total pledges have grown to $958. The gap remaining to the

target is $542.

 

Please come forward and provide your support, however small it may be, as a seva

to our Lord Hari.

Providing support to publication of a good book merrits a lot of punya in the

eyes of our Lord

since such a seva helps dispel ignorance in this world. Firm spiritual

advancement is possible

only thru acquisition of correct knowledge. A small seva offered to our Lord is

returned back

magnified many times over to us by our ever kind Lord.

 

In the true spirit of giving, one of our scholarly VMS members included the

following Dasa

mahaniyaru's amruta vaani with his generous financial pledge:

 

" Kereya Neeranu Kerege chelli, Varava Padedavarante Kaaniro

Hariya Karuneyolada Bhagyava Hari Samarpane Maadi Badukiro "

Dear Sri Krishna Bhaktas,

 

Thanks for the many private e-mails to me informing me of your pledges of

support. VMS and

sajjanaru around the world are greatful to all of you for your generous support

to this noble

cause. So far, the total of the pledges to my knowledge is $600. Still, there is

the gap of $900

for the total of the target of $1500 and time is rather limited to initiate the

printing process

in India this month itself. Hence, please hurry up and provide your support,

however big or small

be the amount of your contribution.

 

As communicated in the previous mail, please make checks payable to " Vishwa

Madhva Sangha " and

mail to the following address:

Your contributions are tax free since VMS is a tax exempt organization in the U.

Dear Sri Krishna Bhaktas,

 

Thanks for your individual, private mails to me asking for the mode of payment

and the address to

which the payment should be sent.

 

Please make check payable to " Vishwa Madhva Sangha " and mail to the following

address. Checks can

be in any national currency. I am doubtful about Indian rupees though whether

the bank where VMS

account is held can handle checks in rupees (probably the handling charges or

Bank commision etc

may be prohibitive).

> On this auspicious Ekadashi day, when our mind is on our Lord, I am placing

before you an

earnest appeal for your generous financial support to our Vishwa Madhva Sangha

(VMS) for

sponsoring the re-publication of the classic " Life and Teachings of Sri Madhva "

by Late Sri. C. M.

Padmanabachar. This publication is being brought out by the venerated SMSO

Sabha (Sri Madhva

Siddhanthonnahini Sabha, Thiruchanur) for marking the continueous, yeomen

service provided by the

Sabha to sajjanaru over the past 125 years!!

>

> SMSO Sabha is the prestigious, scholarly organization devoted to our Madhva

cause and our VMS is

most honored to render support to the Sabha in the republication of this classic

book in English

(currently out of print). SMSO Sabha has published quite a long list of well

written books by the

contemporary as well as past scholars. His Holiness Sri Sugunendra Theertha

Swamiji, Puthige

Matha, Udupi and Honorary President of the VMS has provided congradulatory

message to the Sabha on

behalf of our VMS which will be published in this book. The book is ready for

printing this month

in India as soon as VMS provides the funds, $1500, to the Sabha. A total of

1000 copies is being

planned for publication in this edition.

>

> The first publication of this book was in the year 1909!! The author was a

very erudite scholar

and was a lawyer. This book was one of the very early works in English. The

presentation of the

doctrines in simple but elegant style, the flow of the language, the scholarship

of the author had

made this book a true classic. VMS believes republication of this book will

largely help

propagation of Madhva doctrines among the English literate public in India and

abroad.

>

> As you all know, VMS is not a cash rich organization since our structure is

quite informal to

facilitate free spirited discussions for understanding of and cherishing Sri

Madhva's philosophy,

mainly thru internet. Our focus remains " spiritual " and hence the funds with

the VMS are quite

modest. Current funds with the VMS are as a result of largely unsolicited

donations from

gatherings of our members in a few of our active centers in this country (USA).

It is our fond

hope and prayers that our members, spread all over many continents, will come

together and support

VMS for worthy projects, such as providing support for republic> ation of this

book. Just as few

drops of water from each of many sources make a river or an occean, even modest

contributions from

many of us, blessed with more valuable currency than Indian rupees, can make

projects, such as

this republication of this book, successful. All of us in this VMS have been

brought together by

the Divine Grace, we all feel like we are in one single " spiritual " family every

day, thirsty for

spiritual betterment, and how nostalgic and blessed our feelings will be when we

hold a copy of

this book in our hands in the next couple of months, made possible by our coming

together,

offering our humble financial support. Your financial contributions to VMS are

tax free in this

country (USA) since VMS> is a duly registered non-profit organization in the

USA.

>

> I humbly pledge $100 to our VMS for this project. Please come forward and

announce your pledge,

however large or small it is, which can stimulate and motivate others too to

come forward and

provide their support. Total target is $1500, to be raised in the next few days,

by the Grace of

our Lord.
