> It is a matter of general acceptance that the Vedas form the
> foundation of sanatana religion now called Hinduism. The Vedas are
> universal. The Nalayira Divya Prabandam and Thevaram are regarded by
> Vaishnavas and Saivas respectively as the Vedas in Tamil.
> Irrespective of the subdivisions, the tenets of the Vedas serve as
> the unifying bond of our Sanatana religion.
>
> There is an urgent need for providing knowledge of our Vedic
> Heritage, Devotional Literature and allied areas of knowledge in
> English because a substantial section of our people, especially
> youngsters, are able to understand these things better in English.
> This trend is likely to grow further in future. Unless we provide an
> instrument of communication in English for the specific purpose, the
> vital linkage may be broken very soon.
>
> Apart from this, there is one more important consideration. The Vedas
> are universal. Even the Plant Kingdom has a right to be benefited by
> it. It is our duty to share what we have inherited with all the
> peoples of the world. So presenting them in English becomes a moral
> obligation to us.
>
> There are of course some general religious books and magazines in
> English. Not all of them do justice to the universality of the Vedic
> spirit. Trying to live within a shell created for us, however
> comfortable it may be, is not adequate. It is not becoming of one who
> has inherited the Vedic treasure by virtue of his birth.
>
> But to provide a concerted effort in this direction, providing
> coverage to all the subdivisions - highlighting the unifying aspects
> of all but without spoiling particular sampradayas - an international
> monthly magazine in English by name 'Nitya Kalyan' has been launched.
> This is not just another magazine but an urgent, sacred mission.
>
> The first issue of the magazine was released by Pujyasri Acharya of
> Kanchi Kamakoti Peetamm on Vijayadasami Day (23-10-04) at Madurai.

> Those interested in this mission may contact

> I request you kindly to forward this message for the benefit of all
> members of our group.

> They are also welcome to
> join http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nityakalyan for better interaction
> with the like minded persons.
>
> If you would agree, it would be in furtherence of our objectives to
> publish an essay on 'Srivaishnava Sampradaya' or any topic connected
> with Vedic Heritage or Devotional Practices, by you, or by any other
> learned member of our group, in Nitya Kalyan for the benefit of our
> readers.
