Sri VishNu Sahasra Naamam - Release Announcement

[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Dear Sri VishNu BhakthAs :

 

Today is SrI Nrusimha Jayanthi .

 

You might have performed your Sri VishNu Sahasra

Naama PaarAyaNam and observed the Vratham as

requested by adiyEn for the well being of our AchAryAs.

 

It is with a great sense of Joy , adiyEn presents

now the monumental work of the Commentaries on

Sri VishNu Sahasra Naamams by Sriman Narasimhan

KrishNamachary , Thiruvadi of SrimushNam Sriamth

Andavan of Srirangam PeriyAsramam.

 

As the Chief Editor of the Sundarasimham and

Ahobilavalli e-book series , it gives me great pleasure

to release the five e-books on Sri VishNu Sahsra

Naamams by Sriman KrishNamAchari . He has spent the last

ten years to assemble content from a dozen commentators

on Sri VishNu Sahasra Naamams , which is dear to

all AchArya paramparais . He has focused on Swamy

ParAsara Bhattar's and Aadhi Sankarar's commentaries for

the 1000 NaamAs and Phala Sruthi slOkams .Swamy

ParAsara Bhattatr's commentary known as Bhagavath

GuNa DharpaNam approaches the commentary from

Bhagavath GuNa Soulabhyam , whereas Aadhi Sankara

approaches it from the Parathvam of VedAnthic Brahman .

The conclusion that both come to following BhaishmA's

counsel is : na tE yaanthi parAbhaavm " ( The reciters of

Sri VishNu Sahasra Naamams will never meet any disgrace

or dishonor ) and attain VishNu Paadham and be blessed to

perform nithya Kaimkaryam .

 

Sriman Murali DesikAchAri and his Dharma Pathni ,

Srimathy Jayashree Desikachari have spent untold hours

to format these 1479 pages of text and add appropriate

and eye-filling divine images of the Lord created by our

artist in residence , SoubhAgyavathi ChitralEkhA ,

Tanjore School of painters and Sri Nedumtheru

Srinivasan Mukundan , the owner of Pbase Image

archives . I am indebted to the Desikachari Dampathis

for their enthusiastic and tireless support of

the Kasimakryam .

 

It is a red letter day in the annals of Sundarasimham

and Ahobilavalli e-books kaimakryams .Thank you all ,
