Dear BhakthAs of our PurvAchAryas : Srimathi Satyan sent me a note recently about the most satisfying experience that she gained from listening to the wonderful tapes on AlavandhAr's sthothrams and the three gadhyams of AchArya RaamAnujA . I am attaching her note. I can not agree more about the points made by her and I can only attest to the high quality of recording in the most chaste manner by Sri saranAtha Bhattar of Pittsburgh Temple , who has been trained at the Ahobila Matam school at MathurAnthakam and by Sri Thirukudanthai Andavan ( KaNNan Swami ) . His facility with Sanskrit , his breath control thru stopping at the proper sandhis and his soulful rendering are a delight to listen to . These are some of the greatest sthOthrams from the Pre-Swami Desikan era and I strongly recomemnd the acquisition of this modestly prized tape by every Sri VaishNavA home and hear it as often as you can .Listening to this Recitation on SravaNam,EkAdasi and Panguni Uttaram days will be most auspicious .Proceeds from the sale of it will be used by both the RaamAnujA Mission of Virginia and the Ahobila Mutt . I have been advised that the Ahobila Mutt is so pleased with this rendering that they plan to help distribute this tape in India . Thanks to Sri Nadadur Madhavan in spearheading this project and working on the sequel to this tape (Viz)., recording of the SthOthrams of Swami Desikan .
