Dear Bhagavatas
I have had occasion to listen to Srivatsankachariar's discourses on these 
grand sthavams. In fact, based on these inputs, I spoke on one of these 
called "AthimAnusha Stavam" during the second SDDS Conference at Pomona in 
1997. 

"Pancha Sthavams"- are marvelous in poetry, faithful in bringing out the 
basic esoteric tenets of our Siddhanta, and especially in the "AthimAnusha 
Sthavam" dexterous in challenging the claim of the Lord to be human (AthmAnam 
mAnusham manyE etc) while performing superhuman tasks !. 

The inimitable commentaries of Sri Srivatsankachariar throw new light on 
several aspects which most of us would not have come across and therefore are 
as interesting as they are revealing.

If there is a good demand from Bhagavatas, I would like to summarize all the 
five 
Sthavams with these commentaries in a new series. I already have a few 
requests in this regard.
