Guest guest Posted December 21, 2001 Report Share Posted December 21, 2001 Sri Mattapally NaaTam PranathOsmi Nithyam Namaha Dear Friends, On behalf of the members of Sri Mukkur Swamy's Nrusimha Kudumbam adiyEn is pleased to share with you The HINDU's review of "Sri Mukkur Nruhari Hrudhayam" - CDrom on Sri Mukkur Swamy that was released by the TRUST. The review was featured in today's (Friday Dec 21,2001) issue. With Kindest Regards adiyEn Rajagopalan, Srinivasan ------- Mukkur legacy preserved MUKKUR SRI Lakshminarasimhachariar Swami needs no introduction to Asthikas and it will be presumptuous to detail the life and achievements of a person who was a one-man institution and an acknowledged authority on the Ubhaya Vedanta scriptures and tradition. The devout fraternity is still trying to cope with the harsh reality that he is not in their midst today. They will find solace in the rich legacy that he has left behind in the form of the idol of Lord Lakshminarasimha, which was instrumental in the performance of more than 100 Swati Mahayajnas all over the country, audio-visual recordings of his inimitable discourses and writings which have been published as books. More than anything else a dedicated group of devotees has pledged to carry on the mission had undertaken. Towards this end the Sri Swati Narasimha Maha Yajna Trust has been instituted by his family and devotees at New No. 34 (Old No.24), Venkatesan Street, T. Nagar, Chennai-600017. Tel: (044) 4353704 The Trust has been founded with the main objective of continuing the daily Aradhana of the Lakshminarasimhan idol and that of other Divyadesa deities he personally worshipped. It proposes to also publish Mukkur Swamy's works in other languages, construct a Yajna Vatika at Mattapalli Maha Kshetram, Nalgonda District, Andhra Pradesh, promote Vedic research and build a library to house his personal collection of rare books. The Trust solicits support for these activities. CD-ROM For the benefit of those who wish to relive their first-hand experiences of the Swami and his discourses and also for those who may not be familiar with them, the Trust has brought out a multimedia CD-ROM (PC compatible) entitled Sri Mukkur Nruhari Hrudayam, which was released on the day of Swathi Nakshatram, September 20, at Sri Narasimha Swami temple at Sri Mattapalli Maha Kshetram. (For copies contact by e-mail: vayasya & trust) This CD can be used only in a computer with a CDROM, sound card and speakers and cannot be viewed in a home VCD system. A Java-enabled web browser, audio player and PDF reader are the software necessary to use this CD. Within the limitations of the memory available (700 MB), this CD attempts to encapsulate the lifetime achievements of Mukkur Swami and hence one hopes will be a precursor to more of the kind. It contains over 600 minutes of the Swamy's mellifluous voice glorifying the Lord and His Consort, his Acharya, the Vedic tradition and preceptors, besides his discourses in Tamil, rendition of Ghanam, Vedas and some esoteric hymns in Sanskrit and Telugu composed by him spontaneously on numerous occasions. There are more than 500 photographs vividly capturing his multifaceted personality besides 100 pages of text that includes the Sthalapuranam of Mattapalli Kshetram which was the nucleus of the Swami's multifarious religious activities. Altogether a veritable treasure trove made available free of cost with the sole intention of sharing Mukkur Swamy's spiritual legacy with one and all.
