Guest guest Posted March 13, 1999 Report Share Posted March 13, 1999 Hello. My name is Kristijan and I come from Slovenia, a small country in central Europe. I'm a linguistics student (russian and french). I've been interested in vaishnava philosophy for some time now, but so far it was only gaudiya vaisnavism. Now I want to learn more about Sri Vaisnavism before I decide through which sampradaya I will serve the Supreme. I already learned many things browsing through the old bhakti archives and Mani's page, but I still have some questions... 1.What sort of sadhana would you recommend to a novice? 2. Is the 8-syllabled Narayana mantra the main mantra for a Sri Vaisnava? 3. Should it be recited loudly, silently or mentally? 4.How important is it to recite it on a japa bead? 5. Which books do you think would be most appropriate for a novice as myself and how can I get them ( being a student I'm especially interested in Indian books as they are usually cheaper )? I'm thinking of books in english, naturally. I would be really grateful if you could answer any of my questions and maybe help me get out of my ignorance.
