Guest guest Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Sri KrishNAya namah, sri mukhya prANAya namah, Dear KrishNa bhaktas, I have attached a brochure from Sri Mukund that gives some more details about the sarvamoola waferfiche along with some pictures. Sri Mukund has done outstanding service to srimadAchArya and the mAdhva community over the years with his tAra prakAshana publication. His devotion, focus, dedication and humbleness are extraordinary. He is a living proof that one person can make a difference and accomplish great things with devotion, dedication and focus. Sri Mukund spent a large portion of his time and money to take couple of world class experts in imaging and manuscript restoration to Udupi to scan the sarvamoola gramthas. These people had worked on the restoration of Dead sea scrolls and other ancient works in the Western world. Normally they charge lot of money for their services. Sri Mukund convinced them about the unique nature of this manuscript and they agreed to work for free. Sri Mukund covered their travel expeneses. Through their efforts and working their unique scanning and restoration technology, large portion of the Sri Hrishkesha Theertha's manuscript has been preserved. The manuscript is never opened because each time it is opened, there is a danger that some portion of the manuscript will deteriorate. It is fortunate that the priceless magnificent manuscript has been scanned and enhanced with infrared imaging so that the writing is more clearly visible even compared to reading the manuscript itself. Sri Mukund and his students have come up with a innovative methodology to store ancient manuscript. Most of the digital media that we use today have a very limited shelf-life. CDs, DVDs that we use have a shelf life of 20-30 years. Sri Mukund and his students have come up with technology to store images directly on a Silicon wafer. These will last a minimum of 500 years under extreme conditions. They have applied for patent for this technlogy. This is ideal technology to store these manuscripts for long periods of time. They have stored the sarvamoola gramtha images that they have scanned on a silicon wafer. This is the sarvamoola waferfiche. The concept is very similar to how documents used to be stored on microfiche before. The images are on silicon wafer instead of being on a film. Sri Sarvamoola gramtha is said to have sannidhAna of Sri madhAchArya and sri lakshmi devi. Waferfiche also has a very thin layer of gold on top of the Silicon wafer. It is very auspicious to have it in the house for pooja purposes. The waferfiche picture is shown in the attachment. It is a disc of about 6-7" in diameter. Sri Mukund says that you can see the manuscript if you use a high power magnifying glass. This manuscript is not meant for reading as the script of the manuscript is in old malayalam script. Very few people can read the script now. The waferfiche is an ideal form for all mAdhvAs to have a copy of the original manuscript of sri Hrishikesha theertha in our houses for pooja purposes. We should be grateful to sri krishNa and sri madhvAcharya that something that was not possible for 700 years is possible now i.e. we can have a copy of the great manuscript in our houses. We should thank Sri Mukund for making this available to all of us. He correctly says with great humility that he is not the karta. Sri Mukund has even greater plans for manuscript restoration. He has found that British museum has huge number of very ancient manuscripts from India. For example, they have a 1000 year old manuscript of sri mahAbhArata and ancient manuscripts of the purANAs. British Museum has agreed to make digital copies of these as long as their cost is reimbursed. Sri Mukund wants to use the proceeds from the sarvamoola waferproject and from his company to get the copies of the manuscripts to scholars in India. First batch of the copying of the ancient manuscripts of the 18 mahapurANas is supposed to be ready next year. Sri Bannanje GovindAchArya will be using some of these mahAbhAratha manuscripts in his upcoming works. I request every mAdhva to make use of this great opportunity to have a copy of the sacred manuscript in their houses.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Namaskara It is worthwhiel mentioning here, one more remarkable work done by Prof, Mukund and team. Sri Sripadarja mutt has the original manuscript of Sri padamanapa theertharu written Geetha bhasya. it is around 60 pages written on both sides of thalegari. The lipi is in sanskrit. This manuscript is presered in the mutt and is availble along with samsthana prathimas of Sri Sripadarja mutt. Hence daily pooja is done along with Sri gopinatha devaru. Prof. Mukund and his team completely digitilised the entire pages, spending around 12 hours in the muttt. Prof Mukund's contribution to the madhwas society, by preserving these old manuscripts is by the paripoorna anugraha of Sri madhwacharaya.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Dear Krishna bhaktas, There is one error in the report that I would like to correct. Sri Mukund clarified that travel expenses to Udupi for experts in imaging and restoration were paid by Rochester Institute of Technology. I regret the error.
