My translations of few stotras of Vaishnavite Literature

P.R.Ramachander

Among my small contribution of translation of religious literature to English , I have also done simple peripheral translation of the following Vaishnavite literature. These have been done without any commentary or deeper meanings

Compared to the huge mountain like work done in this regard by very many great and erudite scholars in the modern times like Dr.Opilappan Koil Varadachari Sadagopan , in various web sites like sadagopan.org , ahobilam.org, sripedia.org , Sundarsimham.orgwhere deeper scholarly commentary is given to almost all the entire Vaishnavite literature, my contribution is just like a small tiny anthill.
