The Saiva Hindu scriptural Fund for the Visually Impaired was originally created by Damara Shanmuga to provide funding to produce Braille scriptural materials by Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami for visually assisted Hindus around the world. The Braille reading world has since changed and what is now being used by the blind is audio recordings. Thus the grants are now directed to Himalayan Academy to help in its production of additional audio books. The first audio book is The Guru Chronicles and is available for download here. Other audiobooks are available here.
