Thiruppaavai in devanagari
From the Bhakti List Archives

srimathE raamaanujaaya nama: ***************************************** Regarding the query by Shri.Venkataraghavan , MSCEB, P O Box: 111, Manama, Bahrain about Thiruppaavai in devanagari script. I am not aware of any Sanskrit version of Thiruppaavai but I have some information about Thiruppaavai available in Hindi. There is an excellent book writen by Sri. Vidwan K.S.Raghavachary of Sri Rangam for the benefit of people who are familiar with Hindi and Devanagari script. I met his son in Sri Rangam last year. From his son I came to know that this project of bringing out this book was initiated by the Late President Shri. Shankar Dayal Sharma and was entrusted to Sri.K.S.Rahavachari who is an exponent in Sanskrit and Hindi. The book was printed with preface written by HH Ahobila Mutt Jeyar (dated 18.05.96) and Justice Sri.M.Srinivasan (dated 1.2.96) of High Court Madras. For lack of promotion and advertisement, the copies of this book could not be sold as expected and a large number of copies are still unsold. He was requesting me if anything could be done about this. I requested him to send me a copy of the book so that I will post this information in the bhakti list and other vaishnava related sites. I received the copy recently and was thinking of posting it in the internet. Bhagavath sankalpam this query came in the list today. I will scan few pages and send them to few sites and also to Shri.Venkataraghavan. The book was priced at Rs.30 ( I don't know now). For copies, please write to Shri.Vidwan K.S.Raghavachary 3, Dashavathar Sannidhi Street Srirangam 620 006 Tamil Nadu, India The press address is : Embar Graphics 27/6 , 1st Street Vivekanandapuram West Mambalam Chennai 600 033 ( I am not sure if it is available here) I hope the hindi version would serve the purpose of reading thiruppavai as the scripts are similar. I also appeal to all through this posting that such a great pioneering work should be encouraged. It is very sad that Shri.K.S.Raghavachary Swami invested his personal money in getting this printed as a kainkaryam and there is a huge loss for him because not many copies were sold. I will be sending few scanned pages of the paasurams and his lucid translaton in hindi to all the popular vaishnavite sites and request them to post this appeal about this publication. adiyEn madhurakavi dhaasan T.A.S.Vijayaraghavan
