"SrI:
Dear Friend : You have created one of the most informative and absorbing web site for " the clueless anglicized urban Hindus" . You have stored treasures there . May the most compassionate dhivya dampathis bless you with long life and good health to continue these most appreciated Kaimkaryams for the urban elite rushing along totally unaware of our ancient and rich traditions . Yet, there are so many longing to know more about them and do not have the access ; better still are those , who are trying to live a balanced life that benefits from the scientific culture and spiritual pursuits , wherever they happen to be. Having grown up in the rich tradition bound Tanjore District housing world class temples , where great souls worshipped and where legendary NaadhOpAsakAs thrived , I was " away " from them as I advanced my Scientific nad Engineering education at Chennai , Bangalore and Cambridge, Massachusetts . Then I went on to a satisfying global career at IBM Research . Like Yourself, I felt that so many brilliant minds from our PuNya BhUmi are excelling in their fields all over the world but have not much of an appreciation for our spiritual treasures . It is not that they ran away from them but climbing over the hills of Sanskrit language and vernaculars in which these Sri Kosams are treasured is an arduous task . This is when the web sites like Sundarasimham.org ,ahobilavalli.org , srihayagrivan.org , Srialamelumanga.org , Nadhopasana.org , thiruppavai.org were started . Our team is made up of residents of India , USA , Australia , Singapore with similar interests as expatriates wishing to explore these treasures but also passing it on to the family and friends . We are all very happy to see your reference to the Sundarasimham ebooks in your web site . Thank you very much . The style chosen for introducing them is deliberately" casual"so that the would be readers wont be overwhelmed . Of late , we have moved onto a more formal style in our ebook series since there is no way to use casual style for advanced philosophical treasures . Gaining spiritual strength from their hikes , the readers are slowly starting their climbs to experience the anubhavams of great AchAryAs ,who have bequeathed all these treasures to us as inheritors . Thank you again for your tireless efforts to assemble all these contents and providing links for the searching souls ,NamO SrI HayagrIvAya,V.Sadagopan "
