SrI:
Dear Sri
VishNu BhakthAs :
Today is SrI Nrusimha Jayanthi .
You might have performed your Sri VishNu Sahasra
Naama PaarAyaNam and observed the Vratham as
requested by adiyEn for the well being of our AchAryAs.
It is with a great sense of Joy , adiyEn presents
now the monumental work of the Commentaries on
Sri VishNu Sahasra Naamams by Sriman Narasimhan
KrishNamachary , Thiruvadi of SrimushNam Sriamth
Andavan of Srirangam PeriyAsramam.
As the Chief Editor of the Sundarasimham and
Ahobilavalli e-book series , it gives me great pleasure
to release the five e-books on Sri VishNu Sahsra
Naamams by Sriman KrishNamAchari . He has spent the last
ten
years to assemble content from a dozen commentators
on Sri VishNu Sahasra Naamams , which is dear to
all AchArya paramparais . He has focused on Swamy
ParAsara Bhattar's and Aadhi Sankarar's commentaries for
the 1000 NaamAs and Phala Sruthi slOkams .Swamy
ParAsara Bhattatr's commentary known as Bhagavath
GuNa DharpaNam approaches the commentary from
Bhagavath GuNa Soulabhyam , whereas Aadhi Sankara
approaches it from the Parathvam of VedAnthic Brahman .
The conclusion that both come to following BhaishmA's
counsel is : na tE yaanthi parAbhaavm " ( The reciters of
Sri VishNu Sahasra Naamams will never meet any disgrace
or dishonor ) and attain VishNu Paadham and be blessed to
perform nithya Kaimkaryam .
Sriman Murali DesikAchAri and his Dharma Pathni ,
Srimathy Jayashree Desikachari have spent untold hours
to format these 1479 pages of text and add appropriate
and eye-filling divine images of the Lord created by our
artist in residence , SoubhAgyavathi ChitralEkhA ,
Tanjore School of painters and Sri Nedumtheru
Srinivasan Mukundan , the owner of Pbase Image
archives . I am indebted to the Desikachari Dampathis
for their enthusiastic and tireless support of
the Kasimakryam .
It is a red letter day in the annals of Sundarasimham
and Ahobilavalli e-books kaimakryams .Thank you all ,
