[Guest guest]

Namaskarams to every one. I am a new member and my name is Ram Sriram.

Recently, I was having a small discussion with a frined, Rangarajan

Iyengar about vaishnavite culture and he suggested that I to

this devoted group. Rangarajan also was kind enough to send me a few of

the items from the archives he had preserved. As a vidhyarthi interested

in learning about the vaishnavite culture, I was very impressed with the

contents and immediately d to the list.

 

I am a professor at Georgia State University, Atlanta. Rama,my wife and I

are actively involved in the Sri Venkateswara temple, Atlanta and do

volunteer work at the temple once a week. We both are also ardent lovers

of carnatic music and particularly Thiagaraja's compositions because he

propounds music as a way to engage in bhakti and surrender to Lord Rama.

 

I am interested in learning from each one of you. Adiyen. Sriram
