Dear Bhagavathas 🙏

*****வைகாசி – திருவாதிரை***** (Saturday, June 8, 2024) is an auspicious day for Sishyas and Abhimanis of Srirangam Srimadh Andavan Ashramam. With our Achryan’s, HH Srimadh Sri Varaha MahaDesikan’s Anugraham, we celebrate the 90th ThiruNakshtra Mahotsavam of Srimadh Srimushnam Periya Andavan, HH SriRanga Ramanuja MahaDesikan.

First, we pray to our Acharyan with the following Thaniyan conferred on Him and seek His Blessings.

श्रीमद्वेदान्त रामानुज यतिकृपयारङ्गिणि न्यस्तभारं
तत् सम्प्राप्तागमान्तद्वितयमनुगणं शिष्टतापूर्णमग्र्यम् |
श्रेष्ठ श्रीरङ्ग रामानुजमुनि करुणालब्ध मोक्षाश्रमं तं
सत्त्वस्थं श्रीवराहं यतिवरमनघं देशिकं संश्रयामि ||

* SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS *

Srimadh Sri Varaha MahaDesikan is blessing the release of the following 4 titles published by aradhanam.org. There are 16 books in all. Because Srimadh Bhagavatham is a very large body of work, we have a book for each of the Skandha 1- 9 and 11, 12. Skandha 10 with 90 chapters has further split into 2 books. All 16 books and online publications have the sacred texts in the biggest print size (aka font size) possible in each of the 28 languages. All books conform to US Letter Size specifications which is 8.5 inches wide and 11 inches high. The first sample set of 16 printed books was ready on May 16th, 2024 and we had the maha bhagyam to present it to HH Srimadh Andavan the same day. A photo snap of this event is shown below.

श्रीमद् भागवतम् – Srimadh Bhagavatham – 1st Edition
श्रीमद् भगवद् गीता – Srimadh Bhagavadh Gita – 1st Edition
श्री देशिक दिव्य सहस्रनामावळि: – Srimadh Gopalarya MahaDesikan’s “Sri Desika Divya Sahasra NamavaliH” – 1st Edition
श्री देशिक स्तोत्र माला – Sri Desika Stotra Mala – 2nd Edition

We are blessed to receive HH Srimadh Andavan’s Srimugam for the above 1st Edition books. This was made possible with the help offered by U. Ve. Sri Kadandheththi Thiruchcherai Dr. Asuri Ramacharyar. He is a kainkaryaparar like Sri. Jagannathan Swamigal, and he is always seen around with Srimadh Andavan. We thank Sri. Dr. Ramacharyar Swamigal for his timely efforts.

We are extremely delighted to see a growing number of contributors in our collective kainkaryam for our website and YouTube video production efforts. We warmly welcome each and every one of them. There is a big list of content contributions from this blessed group which we will elaborate in the next section below. It is our mahabhagyam to see HH Srimadh Andavan announce this release with all Contributors’ new content. We have included a small, generic video clip capturing HH Srimadh Andavan’s Manthrakshthai Blessings followed by profile photos of the contributors.

* Contributors and Contributions *

Here are the aradhanam.org contributors for this release and their respective contributions. We present the contributors in the order of completion of their efforts over time. To maintain focus on the respective contributions, we are providing profile for each contributor under the ‘amshadhAthRNi’ menu in the header section above. Please check them out.

🙏 श्रीमते श्रीवराह महादेशिकाय नमः 🙏. In all humility, adiyen (Nochalur Kasturi Sarangapani) would like to express my utmost reverential gratitude to Srimadh Andavan. After completing Srimadh Ramayanam in the Year 2020, I immediately sought from our Acharyan as to which project I should undertake next. Shri Jagannathan Swamigal, after checking with His Holiness, told me that Srimadh Bhagavatham should be taken up as the next project. It was such a delightful news to receive. adiyen pressed forward.

The power of Acharyan’s Anugraham is immeasurable particularly when adiyen realizes how the website has grown – 9 years of online presence with now over 30,000 PDF documents across 28 languages, nearing the landmark of personally hand-typing 45000 verses, designing and building a transliterating and publishing software that has matured over the years, extending our Sampradhayam outreach through YouTube channel videos with sub-titles in 22 languages, and above and best of all, inviting a host of distinguished contributors to join hands in this noble service to our Acharyans and our Sampradhayam.

adiyEn hand-typed the entire source text for all the 12 Skandhas of Srimadh Bhagavatham. Once again, like in my monumental Srimadh Ramayanam project, I used the 2-volume set of Srimadh Bhagavatham from Gita Press as reference books for the shlokas in Sanskrit. This is our first edition release. Hence we admit that it lacks a few things like a detailed table of contents with chapter titles, Dhyana Shlokas, Mahatmyam and Mangala Shlokas to bring it out in parayanam-style format. This time around though adiyen has marked off great many portions of Srimadh Bhagavatham in its encoded source text. This will help us bring out many elegant booklets automatically on different, important and special topics in Srimadh Bhagavatham. Hence, please stay tuned and look forward to many exciting announcements that will occur as we prepare the second edition in the coming months/year.

We are bringing out a printed version of all Srimadh Bhagavatham Skandhas in Sanskrit and Tamil with a limited number of copies for Srimadh Andavan’s personal use and His select distribution. It is being presented to His Holiness on June 8th for His announcement.

The online version of Srimadh Bhagavatham is accessible using the ‘Stothram’ menu in the above header and then selecting the ‘Srimadh Bhagavatham (1st Edition)’ drop-down menu option. This epic is available as a single PDF volume in each of the 28 languages. Similarly, it is also available as PDFs at the Skandha level. Further down hierarchically, it is also accessible as PDFs at the chapter level within each Skandha. Please check out the web pages as your navigate down from the volume level in the main web page with the link Srimadh Bhagavatham.

Sri. Sundararajan Swamigal helped with Swami Desika Stotra Mala review and corrections last year. This was a great help in shaping the 2nd edition of this book in large print. Srimadh Andavan is releasing the printed book for this latest edition on June 8th. The first edition was released only as online PDFs on the auspicious occasion of our Acharyan’s 57th ThiruNakshathra Mahotsavam in 2023.

With passionate interest in Carnatic-style devotional songs on our Divya Dampati and Bhagavan Sri Rama in particular, adiyen is launching a new YouTube channel named Bhakthi Ranjani. This new channel now has 49 songs with our video production primarily to offer song lyrics as subtitles in 22 languages. The audio for this collection comes from our old cassette tape collection of the songs of great Saints, Sri Tallapaka Annamacharya, Sri Bhadrachala Ramadasu, Sri Thyagaraja Swami, etc and rendered by stellar Carnatic musicians and great Hyderabad staff A.I.R artists in the 1960s and 1970s. I had to first digitize the songs that I had recorded on very old cassette tapes which were luckily preserved well across 4+ decades. Please listen and enjoy.

Smt. Madhumathi Kasturi hand-typed the source text for the entire Srimadh Bhagavadh Gita. This book includes the Gita Dhyana shlokas at the beginning and the Gita Mahatmyam (2 versions) at the end. The book can be used to perform parayanam. TT28 Publisher generates the book in 28 languages scripts and in English script as well.

Srimadh Andavan is releasing the printed book on June 8th.

Bhagavadh Gita is accessible by clicking the ‘Stothram’ menu in the page header above and then selecting ‘New Set (Others)’ menu option. The link Click here is given here for quick access. Please note that one must first select a language (if not already done) to access a PDF for a specific language.

Smt. Ramya Srinivasan has given her audio rendition for 12 Stothrams from Swami Desika Stothra Mala. With her expertise in Carnatic music and with her great talent and experience, the recordings are truly perfect. The words are crystal clear with the correct emphasis on the aspirate consonants which is so important in Sanskrit language. The recording pace is perfectly suitable for everyone to follow or pray along. The Shruthi background is mild and soft. The video production for her renditions follows a standard presentation style with a standard template, the intent being to lay emphasis on stothram script as sub-titles. With this release and for all YouTube video production going forward, we now have a pretty clean and elegant, boxed format to present the Stothram script as sub-titles in 22 languages with the language preference left to the user. This whole package of rendition and presentation effort as YouTube videos is designed as a 100-percent volunteering kainkaryam to help connect/reconnect with Sri Desika Sampradhayam across the globe with a large audience speaking different languages. We appeal to all Bhagavathas to pass on the devotion-inspiring, divine glory and powerful message of Swami Vedanta Desikan.
