Namaskaaram everybody,

"entharo mahaanu baavulu, anthariki vandhanamu..."

I am a humble new addition to your discussion group, (Thankyou

Mani for adding me on to the list; incidentally I am Lakshmi Gopal and

not L.Gopal).

I am a first year Ph.D student at Syracuse University (N.Y), working in

Chemistry. My interests (besides chemistry) are varied: I listen to any

kind of music starting from Bhavayami Raghuramam to Papa dont preach; am

obsessed with books (Richard Bach to Lakshmi, Vaasanthi or Sujatha); and

am interested in all forms of religious principles, especially

Vaishnavism and the concept of Vishistadvaitam, although Advaitham

fascinates me equally. I dont claim to know a lot in these however, and

thats why when Mukunthan (Cleveland) introduced me to the concept of a

discussion group in Vaishnavaitism, I jumped at it.

I propose to learn as much as possible about Vaishnavaitism, and

strongly believe that being a silent observer would lead me nowhere...so I

might join the discussions, or ask question, which many of you may find

extremely naive or stupid. Please bear with my ignorance, and help me find

the knowledge I seek.
