Found Site : acharya.org

When you first visit the site you get a feeling that this is just another site on Sri Vaishnavam which has less content and has not been updated for long. But just dig deeper and you will find an amazingly rich collection of Books, e-Books, Audios, Videos, Photographs, Calenders and even Screen-savers. Dig in and you are sure to find more. Listed below are few amongst the many pages in the site.

Acharyas – Contains Oranvazhi Acharya paramparai. In the list, a few names are links. Clicking these links will take you to a page which contains the list of works of the relevant person, Images and also some of their works in e-book format.

Anandazhvan – Contains many images, Taniyans, Works of Sri Anadazhvan.

Anubhavams – This page contains images of many Divyadesams, Abhimana stalams & Utsavams. I suppose its the photographs taken by the author when he visited the places. The pages are in a blog format.

Articles – Contains many articles (mostly in English) like A Day in the Life of Our Acharyas, Bhattar’s Ten Words, Embar’s Ten Words, Who is a Srivaishnava?, Special Significance of Kaishika Ekadasi and many such valuable articles. 

Kramams – Contains e-Books on Sri Vaishnava Kramams like Thiruvaradhana Kramam at home, Kovil Thirumanjana Kramam & Thiruvaradhana Pasurangal. All these are greatly valuable for people who have not got the opportunity to learn the Kramams from their elders.

Divyaprabandham – This page contains links to e-Books of MudhalAyiram, IrandamAyiram, MundramAyiram, NaangamAyiram, Kovil Thiruvaimozhi and more. Its hard to think how the Site Owner managed to get all these.

I finally learnt about the site owner and was awestruck. The site owner is a descendant of Sri Thirumalai Anandazhvan family who was a direct disciple of the great Sri Ramanuja. He is Sri TCA Venkatesan from Detroit (USA) and he considers his site to be a “little drop in the ocean”. But his liitle drop is a shining large one that stands apart.
