[Introduction to Prapatti group from KANNABR@...]

[Guest guest]

Greetings. Thanks to Mani for letting me in to be part of this group and

Dr. Rengaswami who told me about the existence of the group. I belong to a

traditional vaishnava family (somewhere in marriage invitations I have seen

names like Thoopil). My uncle was one of the chief archtiects of the Desika

Sabha in Bombay. I am involved in activites of Sri Lakshmi Temple, Ashland,

Ma. I am also leading a group on vedic chanting. I have been interested in

Vaishnavism and Visishtadvaita from early age and never fully understood

from reading. My current belief is that there is a component of

experientialism which I think could be obtained either by rituals and/or

yoga etc.. I am really happy to see the discussions that are going on and

hope to contribute to the discussions.
