dear members of the group namaskaram,

i introduce myself as Sudarsan, iam right now doing my second year of Phd in

Thermal and fluid sciences in Univeristy of Arizona, tucson.

 

My Background:

I was born and brought up in Madras .(madavelli). Born in a joint family with

a strong tradition in vaishnavism was a gift of god to me. My father is

working in Lucas TVS padi. My ancestoral town is manargudi and our atthu

deivam is Lord. oppilaappan (thiruvinnagar) one of the 108 divya desams.

Due to blessings of the lord right from a young age i have been fortunate to

visit a lot of temples .

 

I did my schooling in P.S.Senior secondary school,Mylapore,Madras. I

did my Bachelors in I.I.T madras.

 

My serious interest in the great tradition was sparked greatly by listening

to Srimad Bhagavatham,Sri Ramanyanam,Alwar vaibhavam cassetes of Sri.

Krishna preemi maharaj also called anna. The depth and the beauty of what i

heard made me realise the greatness of my vaishnava tradition that has been

made available to us by great alwars and acharyaas. I got to like them so much

that lisening to them has become a part of my routine. This interest

developed in me has increased in me the interest for kathasravanam and

namasangeerthanam. During my initial stages their was a lot of unnecessary

making fun of me by my friends, who dont seem to understand the beauty of our

tradition. At the time when i was looking for sathsangam to hear more and

more about lords karunai, i happen to see from one of the postings in

Vaishnavaa Home page about the prapatti group. I understand that because of

my ignorance in the great tradition of vaishanvism i wouldnt be able to

contribute usefull knowledge to the group, but iam thrilled because of the

new found sathsangam and oppurtunity it will provide me to listen and learn from

a lot of knowledgeable people in the group. Iam eternally thankfull to everybody

for providing me this oppurtunity . Iam eagerly looking forward to the

discussions in the group.
