SMS chari is in town

[Guest guest]

SMS chari has come to US for a short visit. for those of you who are

interested in some serious questions in visistadvaita or to arrange some

special programs - explanations on visistadvaita or general vedanta or

any kind of discourses you may contact him. his details are given in the

mail below.

 

SMS chari is in town. he will be here for atleast 3 to 6 months.

he completed the book on alwar. I spoke to him. his telephone is 616-566-3681

till end of this month and then 818-348-8182. he has sent that book for

review. in fact he wrote a chapter on moksha views of alwars in that.

He told me that he may send you that chapter for your review and comments.

I am planning to get him for a ubhaya vedanta retreat here for a week or two.

I want to plan this in a very organzed and effective way. and organize the

topics to cover some fundamental texts and views. he may even probably

cover his whole text book on alwars. incidentally he is planning another

text t00,, - Bramhasutras and a comparitive analysis of bhasyas of

Sankara Ramanuja and Madhva. IT will be really great if he finishes that

book. SS raghavachar wrote such a book but he feels that work has to be

done more thoroughly since authors like THibaut have made powerful statements

which are misleading - such as " the sutras seem to go towards Sri Ramanuja

and the upanishads seem to side shankara" - this is quite a damaging statement

both for advaita and visistadvaita!!. I hope he completes several books of

that kind. he is here for a heart check up. hope he gets cleared of all these

quick.

 

I feel that SMS chari is a boon to the whole system of visistadvaita and

present and future generations of aspirants of alwars and acharyas. if anyone

needs a detailed understanding of our system - dont miss his text books

which may or may not be in print today. but according to him it will be

reprinted soon.

 

incidentally, his book on satadushani will be reprinted with an addendum

reflecting his views on - recent advaitic criticisms by N.S anantha krishna

sastriar (Advaita tatva sudha).

 

his other books - fundamentals of visistadvaita which his major contribution

will be reprinted.

 

so folks out there... get these books and read them.
