Guest guest Posted July 12, 1995 Report Share Posted July 12, 1995 Hello! Everyone!! My name is parthasarathy (Ranganathan) and I am a graduate student at Rice University. Thanks to Mr. Mani Varadarajan for introducing me to the mailing list. As I had indicated in my mail to him, I dont think I am too qualified to talk about many of the topics which come up in this mail group, however, I would love to listen to what more knowledgeable people have to say about these and hence my joining this news group... I am from Madras, my father lived in Kancheepuram and my mother lived in Tirupathi. I have been fortunate in that I have had plenty of occasions to visit the temples in these places when I went to visit my grandparents. -->> The GPP 6000 is the oldest biography of the Alvars and Ramanuja -->> we have, and is reckoned by some as a Thengalai version, though -->> it predates any such split. The GPP 3000 is more a Vadagalai -->> version, since it includes some information on Vedantadesika -->> and emphasizes some characteristically Vadagalai philosophical ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -->> positions. ^^^^^^^^^^^ Can someone explain what are the main ideological differences between the vadagalai and thengalai positions. ( I have seen some petty differences during the Kanchi Garuda sevais,...) I hope it is allright if i start another thread while the previous thread is still going on... Thanks Partha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
