VAsource Part 1

[Guest guest]

Dear Prapatti Members,

 

The following is a list of important material that define and strengthen the

foundation of Visishtaadvaita.

 

This list covers only some sanskrit and Manipravaala works. A while agao, i

maileda list of publications on Sri Ramanuja and his works. Iam in the process

of updating that list based on some additional informations/books that I have

procured in the recent past. I'll post the updated list when it is complete as

VAsource_part2. I coined the term VAsource for VisistAdvaita Source. I believe

these collections and those to be listed in part2 are complete list of

publications related to Visistadvaita and the aachaaryas belonging to the

system. Many of the texts listed here are out of print, and some do not seem

to have publication dates. It would be a great contribution to track down some

of these publications for reprints.

 

Regards,

 

Venkatesh K. Elayavalli
