                 ANNOUNCEMENT
                 ------------

The "Tiruvenkatam Group", Kuwait, is happy and proud
to announce the forthcoming publication of "Hinduism
Rediscovered" authored by Sri.Anbil Ramaswamy. 

In his capacity as the owner-editor of the electronic
journal "SriRangasri", Sri Ramaswamy over the years
has written several excellent articles on Hindu
scripture, philosophy, theology and religion with
especial accent on the Vedantic school of Sri
Ramanujacharya which today has come to be known as
'SriVaishnavam'. These articles remain till today
archived in digital format at the "Sri Ranga Sri" and
other Internet web-sites on the worldwide Internet. 

The members of the Tiruvenkatam Group, Kuwait, had for
long regarded these archived articles of Sri Ramaswamy
as a very valuable and well-researched source of
information and reference on many important topics of
SriVaishnavam. As we all know Sri Anbil Ramaswamy not
only brings scholarly depth and thoroughness to bear
on the subjects dealt with but also presents it all in
simple language and idiom appealing both to the lay
and modern sensibility.    

It is for the above reason that the Tiruvenkatam Group
felt that the archived articles at 'SriRangasri'
should find a much wider and more popular audience of
readers and students of SriVaishnavam than at present.
We have therefore decided to publish them as a
handsome book so that eventually "Hinduism
Re-discovered" truly assumes the form it deserves viz.
as a concise but comprehensive encyclopaedia of
SriVaishnavite thought on Vedanta. 

                ****************

The "Tiruvenkatam Group" is a non-institutional,
non-profit and non-formal 'satsangh' of persons living
and working in Kuwait. The Group comprises of NRI
(non-resident Indians) professionals, who along with
their families, have been brought together by common
religious devotion and attachment for the Deity of
Tiruvenkatam, Lord Venkateshwara. The Group engages
itself in both religious activities and charity work
in Kuwait. The activities include:
     
  organizing community 'satsangh'
  enable forums for learning Vedas,
Divya-Prabhandhams and other Vedantic scriptural works

  raise charity for religious  institutions in
India such as temples, 'veda-pAtashAlA', Mutts and 
Ashrams.
  cooperate with other religious-minded
associations, both in Kuwait and elsewhere in India or
abroad, in support of endeavours that seek to promote
and further the cause of Vedic worship and Vedantic
faith.
  publish in order to popularize the rich,
ancient literature of the Vedantic faith  (the
'itihAsa', 'purana', Upanishads, the works of Vedantic
'achAryAs' and seers etc.)   
  maintain the Group's own web-site at
Tiruvenkatam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The small band of men and women in Kuwait that today
calls itself the "Tiruvenkatam Group" thus vigorously
pursues its above goals in quiet but constructive
ways. The publication of "Hinduism Re-discovered" is
an example of the Group's continuing commitment to its
stated goals.

              ****************

The proposed publication is presently undergoing
printing at Bangalore, India. The task of overseeing
the printing is being undertaken by Sri Ananth
Narasimhan (son of the respected scholar Sri
N.S.Anantharangachar). Many friends and admirers of
Sri Anbil Ramaswamy in India have kindly volunteered
to share and shoulder the important responsibility of
proof reading the manuscript and helping in the
publication. By all accounts the book should be ready
for printing around the end of February 2004. 

Srimad Andavan of Poundarikapuram Asramam has kindly
consented to release the book under his holy auspices
on the occasion of his Tirunakshatra MahOtsavam
(Panguni Rohini) on 26th March 2004. 

The first edition of this book will be very limited in
number but moderately priced considering the 1000+
pages of the book. The actual price will be announced
once the printing etc. is completed by end of February
2004. It will be distributed on a
first-come-first-serve basis to those who book their
subscription in advance. Members of SriRangasri,
Tiruvenkatam and Oppiliappan Groups who wish to book
