Personal Introduction

[Guest guest]

Hello!! My name is Arun Sridharan. I shall now try to give you a brief

introduction to my past and present. I was born in Bangalore in 1976. For

the first 12 years of my life, I lived in Gauhati(4 yrs),New Delhi(4 yrs),

Bangalore (3 yrs) and in Madras(1 yr). In 1986, my parents came to the

United States as graduate students. Having recently completed their

advanced degrees, they are in the process of settling down in Mississippi.

After coming to this country in 1988, I did my High School in Mississippi.

For the past 1 and a quarter years, I have been an undergraduate physics

student at Brandeis University. Brandeis is located about 10 miles west

of Boston, Massachussets.

 

For the last one and a half years, I have become very interested in

Vedic philosophy. In particular, I have done a fair amount of reading on

Gaudiya Vaisnavism. I have visited a few Radha-Krishna temples in this

country and have found my experiences there to be especially enriching and

meaningful. I have had the honor of having the association of a few

advanced Gaudiya Vaisnavites and as a result my attitudes toward life have

changed a great deal. As time went by, I felt an urge to study the

philosophy of the tradition that I was born into, namely Sri Vaisnavism. I

think that my life will be greatly enriched by having some contact and

association with the Sri Vaisnavites in this group. I have already learned

quite a lot in the few days that I have been on this mailing list. Since I

am a neophyte at Sri Vaisnavite studies, I would really appreciate it if any

of you could give some pointers with regards to some reading material.

 

Before I stop, I would like to thank Srinivasan for informing me about

this group. In case any of you would like to get in touch with me, here is

my address.
