Introduction

[Guest guest]

Namaskaram,

 

My name is Pradeep Sreekanthan. My entry into this group is thanks to my

friend Sumanth Kaushik.

 

I have just begun my graduate studies at MIT in the department of Materials

Science and Engineering, where I obtained my bachelors. I hail from a

Vadegalai Iyengar family in Bangalore. We are quite religious and active in

many circles -- Andavan Ashram, Chinmaya Mission, etc., and more recently,

we have founded a trust called "Heritage" to explore our rich (Indian) culture

and tradtions. A detailed sketch can be found by visiting my webpages

(http://the-tech.mit.edu/~pradeep).

 

I have been exposed to both Advaita and Vishistadvaita philosophies, though my

background in Advaita is stronger as a result of greater involvement with the

Chinmaya Mission. I'd like to find out more about Vishistadvaita,

Ramanujacharya, and Sri Vaishnavism, in general -- hence, my desire to be part

of this list.

 

Thank you, and I look forward to some interesing discussions.

 

Pradeep
