Many of our old books published by learned scholars in Dharma Sastram has disappeared.
I tell you an incident.
In 1998 when in Dubai, Mr.Venkat conducted a weekly class for Sandhyavandhanam. We who are all in Vedha class also attended. There were about 100+ peoples in our veshti attair. It really looks like our yearly Avani Avittam. ( That too happened jointly).
In our Vedha class group one person sitting next to me. People brought their own home books plus there was also printouts for the needy.
When the class started I happen to see the old book in my class friend's hand.
It has given me hair raising tremor to my body that the book is from Sri Sri Srivatsa Somadeva Sarma. My friend told this book was given to him by his father.
I took carefully a xerox of the whole book. Because in my kiddy days I went to Mama many times whenever I face some ailments. He used to ""yenakku mandrichu viduva"". But really those times I don't know much about these spiritual things. Those times his son Shri.Jayarama Sarma is also seen at their home. Such a wonderful personality and like my own grandfather like treatment.
It is really needed that old books are supposed to be revived. I know there was only one Publishing company at Tiruvallikeni who published valuable spiritual books.
 
I just came across this page to read about the mourning rituals. I read a few pages of part 1. The age requirement for marriage of girls and boys are stated in part 1, which is completely backward and unacceptable. I don't know why this book is to be published. It is shocking

Great. But I suggest that our Dikshidars in our area where we live be asked to conduct a class either every Sunday's or twice a week on this book. Because mere reading is not easy as many Sanskrit words we don't know it's explanation. Generally we know "Asamanam" and "angavandhanam", pranayamam, Sandhya vandhanam these regular words are our daily happenings so we immediately know it. But many other words we wonder what it means. Because those new words true reason is not in our daily life of everyone. By getting a Dikshidar or Sastrigal if he keep a lecture from this book each topic for an hour we get informations to our knowledge and remembering very easily. We should take our children along so they too understand the culture and start good at the young age by hearing our customs and importance.
