Looking back the last
20 years
I started my
translation of stotras in 2000.One of the first translation I did was
Vishnu Sahasranamam. And my
first online posting , with the
blessing Swamy Jayendra Saeawathy
was in 2002 in a tripod
web site created by my
daughter in law Smt Sangeetha Narayanan .(It still exists) http://members.tripod.com/english_stotras/
I had posted few
of my translations there. I would like
to quote a small verse addressed to Lord Guruvayurappan in that drowned in tears
When will my ears,
Drench in sweetness,
Of thy name, Lord Krishna
After hearing thy name,
When will I drown in ecstasy,
In my tears, my Lord.
I think the time has come. Twenty years after
starting my great attempt, I would like to review
what all I have done in front of my friends
in face book.
