Guest guest Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Dear Sriman Kannan : You are absolutely right about the free meals part . After a lot of appeals , we were able to raise the needed significant funds to scan and digitize all Monthly issues of the Tamil Sri Nrisimha Priya from the year 1945-2005 C.E. Many came forward to sponsor years of significane interest to them during the time slice of 1945-2005 C.E. We have now archived 60 years of contributions from great Sri VaishNavite Scholars on subjects dear to our heart . This was released as a queryable Data Base . Copies are available at Sri Nrisimha Priya Office . Any sales from these DVD are reserved to preserve and protect the release of Future issues of this sampradhAyic magazine .We do not expect a great rush to purchase these DVDs . We are happy that serious scholars and "thirsty" souls with access to computers acquire them .It will be there , when devotees are ready . We just completed the scanning and digitalization of the English issues of Sri Nrisimha Priya inthe form of another DVD . That will be available soon at Sri Nrisimha PriyA Office . All of this work was also supported thru appeals and likhitha Kaimkaryams . There are outstanding content in Sri Ranganatha PadhukA . These could also be valuable content for access by present and future generations of Sri VaishNavAs . Issues of PeraruLALan , Sri Hayagriva Priya are other source literature of interest to many but funds should be found to help them come out with future issues . Monthly sponsorships to cover the costs of release , increased subscriptions are needed .The Editors of these magazines would be happy to recieve such support . Sriman Velukkudi KrishNan's prolific releases on many Sri Sooktis in the firm of DVDs are great treasures that are to be welcomed . We have released now close to 250 ebooks in the Sundarasimham , Ahobilavalli and Sri Hayagrivan series with focus on our AchAryan's and AzhwAr's Sri Sooktis with original text and comments , images and audios. These are all in English with supporting Tamil and Sanskrit references . We have a lot of talented Multimedia experts , who are ready to help with digitization of authorized content from the copy right point of view . We have created with the dhivya dampathi's anugraham number of web sites sofar and will be creating new ones on Sri Lakshmi Sahasram , NadhOpAsana et al in the next few weeks/months. Digitization of Vaidheeka anushtAnams besides the thrikAla SandhyA Vandhanams release needs attention . The adhikAris who contribute to the creation of these need to be honored with appropriate sambhAvanais . There is in short a lot of work that needs to be done at chennai and elsewhere to relaize these dreams and strengthen our community. Let us work together and deflect even a small portion of our earnings , whenever opportunity presents itself . Sri VaishNava community is small in size and we can accomplish a lot if we are united to carry out these tasks. Srama dhAnam is an important ingrdient in this equation . One more item: We have got the permission of the family of the great SampradhAyic Scholar , VaikunTha Vassi Sri U.Ve.D.Ramaswamy Iyengar to digitize and release his publications . Respecting copy rights is a clear mandate in these efforts .
