Dear BhakthAs:

I am attaching an edited version of a  note from 
Sriman Krishna Kasyap regarding a great kaimkaryam 
by Dr.N.S.A. Swamy .He is about to complete his scholarly,
rare and welcome manuscript on "Upanishads" in ENGLISH
according to Bhagavath RaamAnuja Darsanam .There are
a plethora of books on Upanishads based on Advaitha 
and Dviatha Darsanams . Rare indeed is a book on
Major Upanishads in English , which has been available.
Dr.N.S.AnantharangAcchAr Swamy 's monograph (500 pages)
would follow the classic 16th century work in Sanskrit
by SrI Ranganatha Muni of Srirangam and other AchAryAs
of the SrI VaishNava paramparai that preceded him . 

The Upanishadic Foundations of SrI BhAshyam and 
other major works of AchArya RaamAnujA are unassailable.
This book from Dr.N.S.Anantharangachar Swamy of Bangalore
dealing with such foundations would prove to be an invaluable 
source of reference to us all in times to come.

Please let either Sri Krishna Kalale or myself 
know if you wish to acquire a copy of this rare
book awaiting release.

V.Sadagopan 

" As you all know, the number of  books available in 
English on Upanisads according to the school of 
Visistadvaita are only a few. English books are very 
important for us and our next generation. Hence it is up 
to our generation to what is needed to bring out such 
rare books.

Dr. Anantharangachar, a well known Ubhaya Vedanta Vidwan 
is trying to bring out a book on Upanishats containing 
all important passages along with their translations in 
English according to the school of Vishishtadvaitha. 
Important passages from Mahanarayana, Subala and
Kaushitiki and other principal Upanishats will also be 
included. The book will be about 500 pages .
The manuscript is almost complete.

I personally feel that "na hi jnanena sadrisam 
pavitram iha vidyate - bhagavadgita". 'There is 
nothing more sacred than knowledge here on earth".
Spreading this divine upanisadic message to everyone 
including the next generations is an important 
kainkaryam. 

Thanking you,

for SVSS ,

Krishna Kashyap (Kalale)
