English TV channel on Ramanuja's philosophy

By Our Staff Reporter

 

 

 

CHENNAI, SEPT. 9. A new satellite television channel in English, Sri Vaishnava

Channel, is to be launched on January 5 to propagate the philosophy of Sri

Ramanuja.

 

P. Sundararajan, one of the promoter-directors said that initially the channel

would function as a joint venture with Sanskar channel, New Delhi, till it gets

its own transponder.

 

The channel is the brainchild of Sri Prasanna Venkatacharyar Chaturvedi Swami.

Its goal is to spread the Vaishnavic dharma and culture as followed by rishis

and sages for thousands of years, and to achieve a worldwide resurgence in `Sri

Vaishnavism' by reviving, restoring and rejuvenating the Vaishnava heritage.

 

The channel will cover exhaustively the `Sthalapuranas' of all ``108 Divya

Desams', holy places for Vaishnavites. It will cover all the important

celebrations and utsavams conducted in the temples and bring the `Utsavamurthys'

of far-away temples to the drawing hall.

 

The channel will portray stories from Srimad Bhagavatham, Ramayanam and

Mahabharatham and also serialise the biographies and anecdotes from the lives of

the legendary Alwars, Acharyas and rishis.

 

Thematic dance presentations from Vaishnava epics and Puranas will be presented.

Musical compositions of saints such as Thyagaraja and Purandharadasa and

devotional `Abhangs' and Bhajans by saints from the North rendered by renowned

artistes. There will also be talk shows and quiz competitions. The Sri Vaishnava

Media Creations Private Limited will manage it.
