Guest guest Posted June 24, 1995 Report Share Posted June 24, 1995 Two articles were mentioned, one on Iyengars and the other on Brahmins. Iyengars are Sri Vaishnava Brahmins. Not all Brahmins are, of course, Iyengars. I'm sure you must be able to search some database somewhere if you are interested in these particular articles. For other information on Iyengars I suggest that you get a hold of a book called Sri Vaishnava Brahmans by K. Rangachari reprinted (1986) by Gian Publishing House 29/6 Shakti Nagar, New Delhi 110007 India. For information on Brahmins, there are so many books, you need to be more specific about exactly the subject matter you require. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 26, 1995 Report Share Posted June 26, 1995 I would also suggest reading "The Saattaada Srivaishnavas" by Prof. Robert Lester, which appeared in the Journal of the American Oriental Society, Jan-Mar 1994, which discusses some interactions between brahmin and non-brahmin Srivaishnavas. Also of interest may be Vasudha Narayanan's latest book, "The Vernacular Veda", a history of the use of Tiruvaaymoli in Srivaishnava religious life.
