"The Tiruvaimoli of NammAlvar Rendered in English" #by Srirama Bharati and Sowbhagya Lakshmi" [Tyaga Bharati Music Education Mission - 1987]

DOWNLOAD (English, 4MB, OCR-layer):

English annotation by Vishnudut1926: I literally fell in love with this simple English translation. Very plain edition, but with awesome/beatific vibes.

"The Tamil Veda - Pillan's Interpretation of The Tiruvaymoli" #John Carman and Vasudha Narayanan# [The University of Chicago Press - 1989]


DOWNLOAD (English, 12MB, OCR-layer in English):
English annotation by Vishnudut1926: A kind of philological research you can usually find at any major university. 

The research has its riveting moments, for example, the immersion into "Arul, Hetu and Nirhetuka" notions on the page 120 (see the screenshot below or on #flickr, #plurk):

And I liked the idea which is quite seldom mentioned in researches on Vaishnavism - on the page 185 it is correctly noticed, that generally the Western scholars lack training in Tamil, which prevents them from the proper understanding of true Shree Ramanuja-Siddhanta and Tamil Tradition in its entirety (see the quote below or #flickr, #plurk):

"The Cult of Jagannatha and The Regional Tradition of Orissa" #A.Eschmann, H.Kulke, G.C.Tripathi# [1986]

DOWNLOAD (English, 33MB, OCR-layer in English):

English annotation by Vishnudut1926: A compilation of diverse articles about Shree Jagannatha Cult on 576 pages. As usually the parts, written by Western scholars are very mediocre, while the articles written by Indian researchers are awesome with the ones written by G.C. Tripathi being of outstanding quality. 

So, don't miss all the articles written by G.C. Tripathi - they are great from PanchaRatra/Tantra points of view - for example, G.C. Tripathi mentions "Shree Krama-Dipika" of Shree Nimbarka-Vaishnava-Sampradaya and dwells on the complex rituals from Shree Vaishnava-PanchaRatra. 
All other articles from the compilation (written by A. Eschmann, H. Kulke and etc.)  are wishy-washy and generally don't deserve your time to be wasted on.

Shree Andal - 20 pdf scans...

DOWNLOAD (Tamil-Sanskrit-English, 20 pdf scans, OCR-layer in English, 20 separate files - folder view):

DOWNLOAD [all 20 files in 1 RAR-archive - 108MB]: 


English annotation by Vishnudut1926: 20 scans of Shree Andal's Granthas, optimized for Android 10" tablets. As usually I have added OCR-layers in English, optimized the sizes and re-designed books' covers in some cases.  

As a result the entire set of 20 scans occupies just 108MB: 9 scans can boast of excellent quality, while the rest 11 scans have pages with "wavy fonts" and various graphic glitches. 

For this reason I have split the entire collection into 2 groups, see the screenshot below (or on #plurk, #box):


As for the scans with wavy pages, they are usually perfectly readable on 10" Android tablets, but look abnormal on notebook/desktop screens. 

So, if you want to read the group with wavy scans, the recommendation is as usual - use 10" Android tablets and any decent pdf app, for example, ReadEra with sepia mode (#free on googleplay). 

The entire list of scans:
  1. Andal-Nachiyar-Tirumozhi-Tiruppavai-PS-Sundaram-TTD-OCR.pdf
  2. Andal-Thiruppavai-T-Raghavan-2004-Tirumala-Tirupati-OCR.pdf
