We have established a tradition of gurudakshina for Swami Tattvavidanandaji's teachings of Vedanta Dindima in the morning classes in the form of support for Swamiji's book publishing in India. We are gratified to see a large number of Vedantic books by Swamiji (see list on page 8) in English, Telugu and Sanskrit. We, as students of the morning class, have resolved to provide support to Swamiji's book publishing effort, either to defray the complete cost of publishing new books, or at least to subsidize the cost so that book prices are affordable, particularly by the public in India. So far a single donation of Rs 50,000 was made to subsidize Prarthana Satpadi, and $2,600 was sent to publish a book in Telugu called Bhagavata Saptaham.

Once again, we invite all students, particularly attendees of Swamiji's morning classes to give gurudakshina. Please be advised that this donation will only be meant for Swamiji's book work in India, and so will not qualify for tax-deduction in the U.S. At the same time, funds in rupees in India could be utilized as part of the 'Swami Tattvavidananda Book Fund'. For question, please contact Sri Vijay Kapoor begin_of_the_skype_highlighting     end_of_the_skype_highlighting at vijaykapoor108@yahoo.com. May the blessings of Lord Dakshinamurti be on all who listen to Swami Tattvavidanandaji, especially the morning classes.
