Sri Vaishnava Divyadesams website rejuvenated!

Sri Vaishnava Divyadesams, which started as my first and foremost realtime HTML learning project in 1998 and hosted with Angelfire (now Tripod Angelfire) as HTML pages now gets a facelift with HTML5.

I tried to keep the pages updated in Angelfire itself but Angelfire didn't support dynamic scripting support and also after lost password recovery, could not access Webshell. I had submitted a support ticket to them too but no response hitherto.

Anyways  instead of waiting indefinitely I just thought would grab a new host and upload the pages. Thanks to Zymic for generous PHP hosting.

Check out the new homepage here and do share your comments too.

Sri Vaishnava Network weblog crosses Centum Posts

Sri Vaishnava Network weblog crosses Centum Posts

This weblog, Sri Vaishnava Network, has slowly and humbly crossed its one-hundredth (post) a few minutes back. Dedicated to the service of Sri Vaishnava sampradaya and with its single-minded focus on service to devotees, we pray to the Lord that we get more opportunities to serve pilgrims and devotees with more vigor and passion.

It is always a great pleasure to serve His Lord and His devotees. This service is the only thing in the world that gives eternal pleasure and bliss than anything else. We would here like to quote Kulasekarazhwar Pasuram which states that 'Azhwar is reluctant to worldly pleasures even if given the kingdom of earth. He would rather prefer to be born as a fish in the pond of Thirupathi.

Anatha selvatthu arambaiyargal tharsoozha
VAnalum selvamum; mannarasum yaan vendaen
Thenar pooncholai thiruvengadatthu chunaiyil
Meenai pirakkum vidhiyudaiyonavene

Sri Vaishnava Network website in Alpha

Sri Vaishnava Network website in Alpha

Crossing many hurdles imposed by different diversified quarters, our humble Sri Vaishnava network website has been released with little content. Currently it has been branded as Alpha, the first stepping stone. There are lot of content in pipeline. We have more authors distributed across the globe to author it.

My sincere thanks to Aravinthan Narayanan for his affectionate suggestion a couple of days back on the other blog post on Kanchipuram Garuda Seva regarding the 'service to community'. He earns the pride and prestige of having the website shed out of darkness to see the Internet light breaking all barriers and hurdles. My sincere thanks to him for the same.

Also my sincere thanks to Deevalur N Srinivasan, who keep telling me that there is no use waiting for the full release. With good content in hand and we being in the service-oriented website, keep releasing it, instead of waiting for Amavasai and Pournami. My sincere thanks to him for the same.

And not without any say, my thanks to the Lord for His blessings too.

We have a definite release schedule for the different components. I am trying to make a HTML version of the schedule and publish it also. Do send me your feedback and what you would like to see in the website.
