Respested Subhashini
It is my submission that the books of great people like Uttamur Swami
are put on public domain by their familiesfor free access as quickly
as possible . Alerady very few people buy, read such books and
treating these books as family property is right yet does not serve
the very purpose for which they were written by such scholars. I
request you to take the lead in this and let others follow. we rarely
see the threats to our traditions and Hindusim in geenral and making
good books available free to the "few" now interesed can make
access possibel for "many" in due course. even the Geetha Press of
gorakhpur has started subsidsing hard copy books.

an electronic format of the book titled 'Upanishad Artha Sangraha' by
Sri Uttamur Swami.

appreciate your efforts to do so for your personal use. And I would
have appreciated more if you have got the permission of the
persons owning the Copyright of the above mentioned book and then
started sharing your portal to the public.

the people concerned's permission, then its my duty to condemn this
because as you are aware, the book that you have uploaded has a
copyright owned by Sri Uttamur Swami's sons.

> This whole act of yours, am presuming you being born and brought
up in the highly held kula and the Ramanuja Sampradaya, looks like
one of the shameful and cheapest things to do. May be, many people
will be benefitted from this pdf being circulated all over but i
think people who do so are also the heartless and shameless ones who
have no sense of the so called Ethics of a Srivaishnavite first of
all, and not an ounce of gratitude for the efforts put by Sri Swami
in publishing the book, second of all.
>
> Am surprised to see people talk of the Sampradaya so much but the
basic things like ethics and codes of life is washed out in the drain
with no or less conscience, which in turn is reflected by such deeds
of PIRACY, taking advantage of the few cyber ignorant people.

> Are we really helping the Sampradaya and the people who really
struggled for the Desika's Sampradaya this way? Is this the right way
to show our gratitude to them who have thrown us the light on the
paths of Sri Ramanuja and Swami Desika? And is this the way of life
prescribed in the book that you have uploaded which gives the gist of
all the Upanishads, Sir?

> If you are a true Srivaishnava and a true follower of our
preceptors, your true conscience will tell you your next steps.

> In case you are not one, then I want you to remove the Pdf files of
Sri Uttamur Swami's books and also the other copyrighted material
that you have hosted without the owner's permission and a letter of
apology for doing the same to all the ones you have forwarded the
link of Sri Swami's book.

> My humble submission to you Sri. Adisesh Iyengar, is if we cannot
do something good to the community, lets not spoil and set an example
for a series of wrong deeds. If your noble intentions are to help the
Srivaishnavas around the world, Please help them the noble way, the
right way!!
