Sudha Sourabha Project

[Guest guest]

Dear Hari Bhaktas,

 

We would like to bring to your attention a momentous project, called Sudha

Sourabha, currently underway in Bangalore and we would like to appeal to you for

your kind and generous financial support for this worthy project.

 

The main objective of this project is to publish (I think 7 volumes) in easy

Kannada the various facets of Sri Nyaya Sudha, the magnum opus of Sri

Jayatheertha Maha Prabu, so that even lay public can understand the grandeour of

the logic and tattva in this magnificient work. Many, many Swamijis of various

mathas and scholars are contributing their individual articles for publication

in this project. This is truly monumental when we realize that study and

understanding of Sri Nyaya Sudha is reserved for the very late stage in the

traditional study of Madhva philosophy.

 

It is expected that publication and distribution of these volumes in easy

kasturi Kannada will significantly enhance the awareness of the Madhva

philosophy among our own uninitiated Madhva circles and also has the potential

to reach the spiritually inclined (Kannada speaking) masses in other communities

as well. Potential also exists that such volumes can be later brought out in

English and/or other local languages for study and appreciation by world-wide

audience but the current scope of the project limits to publication of the

volumes in Kannada.

 

We are told that the printing of the volumes are set to start by end of this

month. Currently, the financial requirement of the project is Rs 17 lakhs (Rs

1700000). The Madhva community leaders in India are mustering support for this

project reaching out to as many Madhva circles in India as possible and are

looking to Madhvas residing abroad for their generous support as well.

 

Vishva Madhva Sangha (VMS) wishes to be a part of this momentous movement and

would like to appeal to all readers of this e-mail note world-wide to offer

their financial support. As we all know, many small drops ultimately make an

occean, even small contributions will ultimately provide the sustenance to the

projects of this kind. Please send your contributions by check to the following

in the VMS and we will consolidate all the contributions and send one single

check from VMS to the Sudha Sourabha project in Bangalore.Your financial

contributions to the VMS are tax free (federal tax free) in the U. S. A. Please
