Classified Topic Heads And The Relevant Articles

Dear Fellow-Bhagavathas,

It has been a great privilege and delight to have been sharing with you what little I have known on our Sampradaya on the 1st of every month, for over 100 months now.

The journey began in May 2008 when a need arose to announce the arrival of a new-look interface and design of the website. Subsequently, the Note continued so as to transform into a regular monthly column to include Temple updates and other assorted subjects, topical articles on Azhwars, Acharyas, Important Tenets of our Sampradaya, Divya Prabandham, Desika Prabandhams and Sthothras, among others.

The series titled ‘An Overview Of Thooppul Pillai’s Tamil Prabandhams’ on Desika Prabandham concluded last month. With the time becoming increasingly difficult to manage owing to a variety of reasons, honouring the commitment on the dotted line has become an issue, though it has been managed thus far, courtesy Lord Srinivasa’s and Swamy Desika’s grace.

So, I would like to see if relieving myself of the time-boundness will help overcome the situation. Henceforth, the Editor’s Note may not necessarily be uploaded on the first day of the month and will be a flexi-feature which will be notified on being published.

Since the archives contain more than 100 articles across topics, for the sake of search convenience, a broad classification of the Editor’s Note has been given in the table below. It contains 10 topic heads with the number of articles therein and the Note Nos. Clicking on the number with hyperlink will give access to that particular Note.
