SrI :

 

Dear BhakthAs:

 

There are two e-groups that I am particularly involved:

Oppiliappan and SaraNAgathy .There are 243 members in

the Oppiliappan group and 400 plus members in the SaraNAgathy

group.

 

Oppiliappan group was started on March 8, 2002 and

SaraNAgathy group was started during September 1999

on Swamy desikan's and ThiruvEngadamudayAns' birth day

( PurattAsi SravaNam).

 

I have been seeking inputs on future directions of these

two lists in the context of number of other lists serving

SrI VaishNavA community in their own special ways.While

waiting for these inputs , let me share with you some

thoughts on my mind:

 

1. Every day identify a Veda Manthram relating to

SaraNAgathy , a dhivya prabhnadha paasuram relating

to AzhwArs' anubhavam of the dhivya dampathis , One sthOthra

slOkam from Swamy Desikan and His PoorvAchAryALs in addition to

the current series on Sri ViLakkoLI PerumaL (Sri SaraNAgathi

DhIpikai , Sri VaradarAja Sthavam of KurEsar and SrI GuNa Rathna

Kosam of Swamy ParAsara Bhattar; these three appear aperiodically .

With three more slOkams , Sri GuNa Rathna Kosam series will

soon be completed ). These will appear in Oppiliappan List.

 

2. Maintain SaraNAgathi Journal for two key kaimakryams:

a. Swamy Desikan' ChillaRai Rahasyangal by V.S

b. Desika prabhnadham by Sri S.Rengarajan

c. Other contributed or invited articles from scholars

on RaamAnuja-Desika SampradhAyam.

 

I encourage cross-registration by members of the two

groups , if they are not already enlisted in either

of the groups. Members from other groups are invited

to join these groups .

 

adiyEn will set the process in motion as of tomorrow

by releasing the first of the series on Veda manthrams ,

AzhwAr Paasurams and PoorvAchArya sthOthra slOkams .

Please remember that these postings is to pay homage to

the matchless SrI Sookthis of our AchAryAs , Rishis and

AzhwArs and not to settle fine points about VedAntha VichAram

in Oppiliappan Home pages . SaraNAgathi Journal will attempt

a more detailed analysism with the help of VidvAns from India .

 

Please let me know of your comments at the formative

stage of evolution of these two journals ,
