> 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.

> 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
