A handbook on 108 Sri Vaishnava Divyadesams

A handbook on 108 Sri Vaishnava Divyadesams

Time and again, there has been a lot of requests that I have been recieving regarding my Sri Vaishnava Divyadesams website from my readers that I should consider including some publications from where handbooks or guides on various Sri Vaishnava Divyadesams can be purchased. While the website provides all the information, they feel something hardcopy and handy is very useful whilst actually travelling to each of the temples.

I have been guiding them to Lifco Publications since they are world-renown publishers of religious books and literature. But the book on Divyadesams is quite big and I don't think anybody can take it along with them during pilgrimages. It would be an added weight to the luggage. Of late, I came to know of one another handy guide from Shakthi Vikatan from an advertisement of Kudalraagha.

I would like to give in brief the details of their handy guide (as a compilation from thier website and the advertisement) for reader's quick reference.
