SrI:

Dear Smt Mythili

Swami commentaries back in 2004 Aug-Sep... You may browse in archives. If unable

to find, let me know I will send you the same

website. But the online store does not seem to sell this tape.

" The subject matters of these five works associated with Sri Alavandar and Sri

Ramanuja (Sri ChathuslOki, Sri SthOthra Rathnam, Sri Saranagathi, Sriranga and

Sri Vaikunta gadhyams) are the core of our Sri Vaishnava sampradhAyam . The

doctrines covered by these two AchAryAs are profound in scope and supremely

relevant to our everyday life. I have no doubt in my mind for the need for every

Sri Vaishnava to acquire a copy of this tape produced with a high degree of

devotion and professionalism and listen to them and recite along with them.

> The sampradhAyic way in which Sri SaranAtha Bhattar of the Pittsburgh Sri

VenkatEswarA temple recites the slokams and the Gadhyams is a testament to his

depth of Sanskrit scholarship and Bhakthi. The padacchEtham (splitting of the

sandhis and word groups) as well as the breath control behind this blissful

delivery is remarkable. "  - Sri. U. Ve. Dr. V. Sadagopan

Alavandar and Sarangathi Gadhyam by Sri Ramanuja. Could you please guide me as

to where I can get word-for-word meanings, translation and pronunciation guide

for these three masterpieces? Also, I tried to check at svtemple.org if the

above-mentioned tape by Sri Saranatha Bhattar is available for sale. They don't

seem to have it. Can anyone tell me where I can get this tape from?
