SrI:

Dear SrI VaishNavAs:

After months of dedicated effort , 
the First Volume of the glorious lives of
the 12 AzhwArs in the Interactive Multimedia CD ROM 
format has been completed. 

Number of You have provided seed money for 
the project Many months ago. All of those , 
who have provided support for this kaimakryam are 
requested to contact me so that I can send 
you a copy of the informative and aesthetic
CD ROM in English in September or sooner .

The first Volume covers the Lives and dhivya
Prabhandhams of FOUR AZHWAARS as well as the dhivya dEsams ,
which were the object of their MangaLAsAsanams
(Euologies ). Each of their Paasurams of these are 
recited by Tamil Prabhandam experts from 
ThirunArAyanapuram temple , Melkote in the same
style as was recited during AchArya RaamAnujA's time. 
The entire 5 centums of Periya Thirumozhi of 
PeriyAzhwAr , ThiruppAvai and NaachiyAr Thirumozhi 
of Andal , ThirumAlai and ThiruppaLLiyezucchi of
ThoNdaradippodi AzhwAr and AmalanAdhipirAn of
ThiruppANar are recited in a majestic and delectable
manner by the Dhivya Prabhanda AdhikAris from
ThirunArAyaNa Puram .It would be invaluable
to follow them and learn about the palces to stop 
in traditional recitation.

The narration of the authentic taxt on the lives 
of the AzhwArs is by profesisonal voice-lending 
artists. The Text of the lives was composed by a 
Srirangam Scholar , SrI Thirumanjanam SundararAjan 
Swamy. 

The colorful and beautiful graphics and the easy 
interactive navigation is under the direction of
Dr.M.A.Alwar of Melkote/Mysore . The special
effects like the joining of Andal's jyothi joining
RanganAthA are beyond description. Andal's svayamvaram
where the Lords of many dhivya dEsam compete for her hands 
and the beautiful bridegrom, Sri Ranganaatha. 

VeeNA Sunaadham is always in the background , when
one moves from one page to the other in the CD ROM.
Rendering of beautiful raagams like AabhEri , Poorvi-
KalyAni et al are heard a t the approprioate gaps .
PraNava naadham pervades elsewhwere. VeeNA rendering of Veda
Manthram SahanAvavathu is thrilling to listen to.

The focus of the First Volume of this CD ROM 
is Lord RanganAthan of SrIrangam . PeriyAzhwAr 
is the father-in-law, Andal the bride , ThOndaradippodi
is RanganAtha pathivrathai and ThiruppANar merged with
the Lord like Andal at Srirangam. 

Both Dr.Alwar and Myself as project Directors are
happy to recieve Lord RanganAthA's blessing to bring 
this project to this stage of release. 

We need your help to cover a deficit of $1,000 to
provide sambhAvanai to adhyApAkAs ( reciters of 
the Dhivya prabhandham , graphic artists and 
printing expenses for the cover and reproduction of
the CD ROM copies.

This CD ROM like the earlier AchArya RaamAnujA CD ROM 
and the twin audio tapes on the lives of AzhwArs in 
English for use during car travels will be a valuable
addition to your libraries to teach children and adults,
who may not be familiar with our great SrI vaishNavite
Darsanam. 

May I request all of You to contribute waht you can 
to bring thsi kaimakryam to the very final stage.
One devotee has already pledged $100 from Florida .
I look forward to all fot he aasthikAs from around
the globe to take part in this important kaimkaryam 
relating to Ubhaya VedAntham . 

with praNAmams to one and all devotees of 
SrIman NaarAyaNa ,
