Dear Bhagavathas,

Sri Ramanuja Mission of Srirangam Srimad Andavan Periyaashramam is quite

We would like to follow up our previous announcement with a list of titles
included in the first three volumes.

Volume 1/6: 10 Titles – 126 Sanskrit Slokas (73:36):

The rose color of the jewel case insert has been selected to reflect the
lotus eyes of Sriman Narayana (“sengan thiru mugaththu” - Tiruppavai) and
includes brilliant photographs of Sri Ranganatha Divya Dampathi, Sri Lakshmi
Hayagreevar, and Lord Sri Sudarshana, apart from Swami Sri Desikan and Sri
Ramanujar.  The titles, number of slokas, and time for each title is
included on the back cover.  The following 20 tracks are included in Volume
