• May 2, 1999


Dear bhAgavathas,

In continuing with our series of postings under
the banner of Andhra abhimAna sthalam kainkaryam
project, I am happy to share information on the
availability of books in Telugu about our
satsAmpradayam.  These books have been published
by or are available through an organization that
Sri Vinjamuri Srimahavishnu recently visited, the
Ubhaya Vedanta Sabha of Pentapadu, which is
located in the West Godavari District of Andhra
Pradesh.   The Sabha has among its membership two
noted scholars, Sriman N.V.L.N. Ramanujacharyulu
and his  brother, Sriman K. S. Ramanujacharyulu.
Sri Srimahavishnu will be writing about the life
and contributions of both these scholars in the
near future as part of the kainkaryam project.

The books that the Sabha currently has available
are as follows:

1.BhagavadgItA sarvasvam with Telugu translation
to MaNavALa MAmunigaL's
  sanskrit commentary.
2.SrIbhAshya sangraham
3.TaittirIyOpanishat,SikshAvalli,Bhruguvalli,Anandavalli

4.DhanurmAsa sarvasvam.
5.archana with 29 ashtOttara satanAmastOtras.
6.lakshmI stOtra maNi manjari
7.SrI GuNa ratna kOSam with Telugu tIkA.
8.sangraha prapanna dinacharya
9.SrI lakshmI nArAyaNa sahasra nAmam with nAmAvaLi

10.sudarSana Satakam with Telugu tIkA
11.divya dEsa vaibhava prakAsika with 120 color
photos
12.abhIti stavam of VEdanta DESikar

Future works will include a Telugu transliteration
of nAlayira divya prabhandam.  Some of you may
recall our attempts at trying to provide this
transliteration last year, which unfortunately did
not succeed due to difficulties in locating these
texts.  Now that we have direct contact to the
Sabha, this should not pose a problem in the
future.

The minimum suggested donation for each of these
titles (some of them are more than one volume) is
$11, which will cover printing and mailing
charges, as well as provide some donation for the
maintenance of the Sabha.  Checks for the total
amount should be made payable to Thondarkulam and
sent to:

Thondarkulam
c/o Mohan R Sagar
1239 South Boston Street
Denver  CO  80231

Sri Srimahavishnu will make arrangements in India
to ensure that the books are provided in a timely
manner.

I ask those of you interested in one or more of
these titles to please contact me
 with your name and mailing
address, and the names of the books that you will
be interested in receiving.

Thanking you in advance,
