Sri. Sundararajan Swami connected with us @ aradhanam.org in Jan 2023. Since then he has contributed a lot to aradhanam.org.
- He went through the entire 1st Edition of Swami Desika Stotra Mala and helped with fixing all the errors he found in our 1st Edition release. It was his effort that helped us shape the 2nd Edition as a printed book and as online PDFs
- He expressed his interest in reviewing Srimadh Ramayanam epic as well. He has completed the review of the Bala kandam and he is now into reviewing Ayodhya Kandam. All of his recommendations will be incorporated when we publish the 3rd Edition of Srimadh Ramayanam.
- He has produced Srimadh Gopalarya MahaDesikan’s “Swami Desika Divya Sahasra NamavaliH” as a book, as online PDFs at aradhanam.org and, in addition, has rendered audio for the Sahara NamavaliH YouTube video. He did this especially for Srimadh SriRanga Ramanuja MahaDesikan’s 90th ThiruNakshathra Mahotsavam. His diction of Sanskrit words is perfect.
