Comments from Sri Keshava Rao Tadipatri:

It is hard to think or to say what is going on in a prestigious institute, Sri Vyasaraja MaTha, which should have been a matter of pride, but deteriorated to a state, which makes one and all very depressed. Many might have been aware of that. The only shocking thing is that the deterioaration is not just in the past one decade, but the downward slide started a few decades ago, but the descent had been steep in the past one decade, I guess.

I am attaching a Word document giving you the details about this. Sri Vyasaraja Seva Samithi is doing its best to improve the situation. Those who wish to help in any way, cando so. The information is available in the document. Please feel free to distribute the document and the panchanga.

Extract from Sri NAPS Rao's letter:

"The Sri Vyasaraja Seva Samithi has issued the Panchanga in Kannada for the new year Sarvajith samvatsara and is being distributed for a nominal price of Rs. 10 in India. Perhaps Vyasaraja matha devotees in USA may like to download copies of this Panchanga. I have attached the concerned files leaving out the Graphics-rich files of the cover pages to avoid email restrictions. If any one would like to voluntarily contribute to our noble purpose or ideals, pls advise them to contribute it to Sri Vyasaraja Seva Samithi (regd) in Bangalore. For the time being my email address can be used for correspondence, if needed and the postal address is again mine - No. 23, Ramaraoa layout, kathriguppe, Bangalore 560085.
