Dear friends,

Probably there is no equivalent to directly learning from great vidwans by
attending kalakshapams and serving them in India. However, many of us may
not be able to do that and to help people who do not have direct contact of
such learned pundits, cassettes are definitely very useful. I have been
working on such recordings for years and have collected about 300 or more
cassettes from great vidwans like Sri N. S. Anantha Rangachar, S.M.S Chari
etc.  I have to state with confidence that cassette medium is not a long
lasting one. For example even if we accidentally keep a cassette near a
radio speaker, the information in it may get erased due to magnetic fields.
Hence, it has to be recorded on CDs. I have lost information on some of my
cassettes. I would like to convert all the remaining cassettes into CDs. I
would request others to help since my time is consumed in career or some
such problems. I personally feel that it will be our misfortune if we all do
not come together in protecting and distributing the divine works of our
system of thought. Even if someone gets these tapes converted into CDs in
India by paying some professional, it is worth it. We have to take up this
project in a mega way by pooling all the resources.

SVSS is planning to release the cassetttes of HH Rangapriya swamy,  Dr. N.S
Anantha Rangachar, Isavasyopanisad, etc. We need help in organizing this
activity. Shreyas Sarangan had suggested that he can help. We are trying to
get a committee of people who can pitch in in different ways. I request Sri
Sadagopan to coordinate this activity. I feel that
Sri Sadagopan has done a good job of coordinating several such kainkaryams
and I think it will be good if he can coordinate this activity. This will be
a rewarding project for every one.

Thanks for bringing this up. I am sure SVSS (NAMA Inc.) can extend this
activity to make recording of other acharyas. However, organizations such as
Ramanuja Mission and Ahobilamuth probably will take up these projects
anyway.
