[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Sri Lakshmi Nrusimha ParabrahmaNE Nama :

 

Dear BhakthAs :

 

Today is Marghazhi Kettai , the Thirunakshathram of

Thondaradippodi AzhwAr .

 

adiyEn is pleased to share with you a great SoubhAgyam

that has happened to me two days ago , when adiyEn's

AchAryan appointed me to serve as a Member of

The Board of Trustees of the sacred Sri Nrusimha PriyA Trust .

 

Although adiyEn is not qualified , it seems to be Srimath

Azhagiya Singar's ThiruvuLLam that adiyEn join the Board

and serve Him and MalOlan .

 

The sacred Journal of Sri Nrusimha PriyA was created by

SrI InjimEttu Azhagiya Singar , when HH ascended the throne

of Ahobila Matam back in October 24, 1941. Sri InjimEttu Azhagiya

ascended to Parama Padham on January 3 , 1953 . From its inauguration ,

Sri Nrusimha PriyA has grown by leaps and bounds and is the archive of

the writingds of great Sri VaishNavite AchAryAs including Azhagiya Singars

and reputed Sri VaishNavite Scholars .

 

The Tamil Version has 64 Volumes with 12 issues per month starting

from 1941 . It has 777 issues todate with an average of 80 pages per

issue .

 

With the support of many Sri Matam SishyAs and the blessings of Srimath

Azhagiya Singar , we have digitized almost all issues of Sri Nrusimha Priya

going back to 1945 . Scanning of individual pages in a browsable mode

has been completed . Four CD ROMs will be released on Thai UtthirattAdhi day

from the sacred hands of Srimath Azhagiya Singar . The intent behind this kaimkaryam

is to preserve and protect these treasures of Sri Nrusimha PriyA for future

generations of AasthikAs , Scholars and UpanyAsakAs .

 

HH INjimEttu Azhagiya Singar gave the Svasthi Vachanam at the time of

founding of Sri Nrusimha PriyA as part of His Kathavya PraTij~nA :

 

Sri Nrusimha PriyA Sri Nrusimha KaruNOttithA

Nrsusimha BhakthAnAm gEhE gEhE sadhA vasEth

SrI Nrusimha KaDAkshENa jeeyAdhAchandra-tArakAm

Sri Nrusimha PriyA hEyshaa Nrusimha PriyayA saha

 

(Meaning) : May the Journal of Sri Nrusimha PriyA arising out of

the KaruNA KaDAksham and Sankalpam of Sri Nrusimhan thrive

and prosper as long a sthere are the Moon and Stars in this world .

May this Sri Nrusimha PriyA stay permenently with Nrusimha Priyai

(MahA Laskshmi) in the houses of the Bahktha KOtis of Sri Nrusimhan .

 

The English version of Sri Nrusimha Priya was started most recently by

the Prakrutham Azhagiya Singar , Sri Narayana YathIndhra MahA Desikan .

It is equally well recieved by the English speaking bhaktha kOtis , who may

not be very familiar with esoteric terms (VaishNava ParibhAshai ) .

 

Both these versions -Tamil and English - need to reach more homes

of AasthikAs to enjoy the MahOpakArams of our AchAryAs in

spreadign our Ubhaya VedAntha SampradhAyam starting with

the First AchArya , Sriman NaarAyaNan .

 

The annual subscription for each of these Versions is just 50$.

Life time subscription is $500 . Please recieve this MangaLa

Pathrikai in your homes and be blessed with the many auspicious

messages housed in the essays including Acharya anugraha

BhAshaNam.
