-Being a Srivaishnavaa, and to learn our core thathvams

-either the commentary on vedaa or upanishad, (someone referred to what Swami

-Vivekananda said about vedas and upanishad), Let it be Swmai Vivekaanandaa or

-any other, left to me I will choose Sri Raamaanujaa as a guru than Swami

-VivEkaanandaa and other such respected Swami's.

 

-Let the Lord decide the course

Dear sir, I have a lot of respect for you as

a man of vast knowledge and your posts are

doing a lot of service in increasing my

understanding of the teachings of Sri Ramanuja.

 

Permit me, as the one who quoted Swami Vivekananda,

to explain why I did so.

 

I know that Sri Ramanuja has a very different

interpretation of the Upanishad from the one

espoused by the Swami. But as far as the bare

facts are concerned, the Swami's knowledge

of the contents of the Upanishads is profound

and thorough; if he says heaven and hell

are not mentioned there, it is so.

 

This is not a matter of interpretation; it

is a question of mere content. This does

not mean we should swallow the Swami's

interpretation; but we can take his word

that heaven and hell are not mentioned

in the Vedanta or the upanishad.

 

Regards,

Raghu Seshadri
