Vishwanandini is a non-commercial project taken up to preserve Samskrutha, and Madhwa Siddhanta for the generations to come in the form of Paathas, Pravachanas and articles. It has a very ambitious goal of creating 10000 hours of audio and 30000 Pages of write-ups. All lessons, discourses and articles are and will be available at no cost through the app and website. It is not possible to complete this massive project without the help of Sajjanas. Vishwanandini never thinks of ads or any such commercial activities to gain financial support. I humbly request you to support only if your financial status is sound enough to offer a donation. My eternal gratitude to the good people who have already been lending their shoulder to this noble cause. — Vishnudasa Nagendracharya No. 2, "Sri Madhwanuja Mandiram" Kaveri Marga, Hemmige Village, Talakadu, T Narasipura, Mysore - 571122, Karnataka, India
