Thanks for the invitation. I have just sent the blank message as reply to

the invitation message.

Just a few words to introduce myself.

I retired, in 1988, as professor of mathematics and Deputy Director of

Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) , Pilani, Rajasthan.

Since 1988, I am settled in Madras. In between from 94 to 97 I had been of KK Birla Academy in Delhi. I am now visiting my children in

the U.S. for the past one year. Right now I am with my son in Portland,

OR. I belong to Bhaskararayapuram in Tanjore District. I was educated in

Cuddalore, Kumbakonam, Trichinopoly and Annamalainagar (M.A. of Madras

aand PhD. of Annamalai) I have taught at Thiagarajar College, Madurai,

at Annamalai University, at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, at

BITS, at the Univrsity of Delaware, Newark, DE and again at BITS.

My father R. Visvanatha Sastri (1882-1956) was in the judicial department.

He was a great advaitic scholar, most close to the Paramacharya, has given

hundreds of lectures on scriptures, written several original manuscripts

and I had the good fortune of having been taught by him in my childhood.

Whatever I am in the area of spirituality it can be traced back to him.

I am the author of

Essentials of Hinduism (foreword by Swami Chinmayananda);

Hinduism for the next Generation; and

The Ten Commandments of Hinduism (foreword by Swami Paramarthananda)

Two books of mine:namely,

Science and Spirituality - a vedanta perception;

Gems from the Ocean of Hindu Thought, Vision and Practice;

are on the web at the address:

I look forward to a possible useful participation in the list.

Thank you.

Regards and praNAms to all devotees of ambAL.

Yours

Prof. V. Krishnamurthy
