SrI :

Dear BhakthAs:

There are two e-groups that I am particularly involved:
Oppiliappan and SaraNAgathy .There are 243 members in 
the Oppiliappan group and 400 plus members in the SaraNAgathy
group. 

Oppiliappan group was started on March 8, 2002 and
SaraNAgathy group was started during September 1999
on Swamy desikan's and ThiruvEngadamudayAns' birth day
( PurattAsi SravaNam). 

I have been seeking inputs on future directions of these
two lists in the context of number of other lists serving
SrI VaishNavA community in their own special ways.While 
waiting for these inputs , let me share with you some 
thoughts on my mind:

1. Every day identify a Veda Manthram relating to
SaraNAgathy ,  a dhivya prabhnadha paasuram relating
to AzhwArs' anubhavam of the dhivya dampathis , One sthOthra
slOkam from Swamy Desikan and His PoorvAchAryALs in  addition to
the current series on Sri ViLakkoLI PerumaL (Sri SaraNAgathi  
DhIpikai , Sri VaradarAja Sthavam of KurEsar and SrI GuNa Rathna 
Kosam of Swamy ParAsara Bhattar; these three appear aperiodically .
With three more slOkams , Sri GuNa Rathna Kosam series will 
soon be completed ). These will appear in Oppiliappan List.

2. Maintain SaraNAgathi Journal for two key kaimakryams:
a. Swamy Desikan' ChillaRai Rahasyangal by V.S
b. Desika prabhnadham by Sri S.Rengarajan
c. Other contributed or invited articles from scholars  
on RaamAnuja-Desika SampradhAyam.

I encourage cross-registration by members of the two
groups , if they are not already enlisted in either 
of the groups. Members from other groups are invited
to join these groups . 

adiyEn will set the process in motion as of tomorrow
by releasing the first of the series on Veda manthrams ,
AzhwAr Paasurams and PoorvAchArya sthOthra slOkams .
Please remember that these postings is to pay homage to
the matchless SrI Sookthis of our AchAryAs , Rishis and 
AzhwArs and not to settle fine points about VedAntha VichAram 
in Oppiliappan Home pages . SaraNAgathi Journal will attempt
a more detailed analysism with the help of VidvAns from India . 

Please let me know of your comments at the formative 
stage of evolution of these two journals ,
