Sriman Sadagopan swamin, In response to your message in the Yahoo groups, about my e-book on Divya desams, there has been spontaneous response from bhakthas residing in different parts of the world. I have been dispatching them the CDs and continue to do the same since some more requests are still trickling in. As suggested by you I priced each CD Rs.50 in India and $5 abroad inclusive of mailing charges. The net proceeds are being donated to small temples in India. Going through the appeal of Sri Pattangi swami,as a token of my service in a small way, I propose to e-mail you in pdf format my e-book on 108 Divya Desams to you with a request to post it in our groups. Members interested in the CD can download the same and send their contributions, direct to the Vedic Foundation towards the upkeep of our ancient temples. Please advise me how I should e-mail the pdf text. Incidentally I have done one more e-book, on 275 Siva Sthalams, which will also be given for this cause.
