Introduction of a new member - A.R. Ramachandran

[Guest guest]

Dear Vaishnavas,

 

I am a new member who has joined this list. I have

received information that I have to introduce myself.

 

I am A.R.Ramachandran, currently employed as Executive

- HRD, TVS Finance Limited, Chennai. I am a dvaitin

(ie. Madhvas) by birth and conviction. However, I am

interested in learning about the larger Vaishnava

traditions, and hence my subscription to this list. I

am also seeking a similar list on Advaita also, but

have not been successful so far. I am a member of

dvaita list which is available at dvaita.org

 

I have come to learn, and I am not sure as yet how to

contribute. I go through English books, and I believe

religious knowledge is possible only by Studies in

deference to Tradition. Therefore, I read books on

religion only by orthodox scholars and do not read

indologists except when my aim is to have some fun.

In this connection, I have read on Visishtadvaita by

P.N. Srinivasachari and found it englightening. I try

to be critical, and do not seek easy ways to

understand our scriptures.

 

Personally, I am learning sanskrit, and would like to

seek some good teacher/other students of Sanskrit with

whom I could study during our spare hours. I find this

difficult going (studying all alone). If readers find

themselves in similar predicament/if there are

sanskrit study groups in chennai already available/if

learned contributors to the list could teach me

sanskrit. I would be eternally grateful. I am also

available for personal correspondence on these topics

at ar_ramachandran

 

 

I have gone through the archives and found it

interesting, and found the section on Sri Vishnu

Sahasranaama very enlighening. I pray to my ishta

devata, Sri Lakshmi Hayagriva to bless the list and

all the people behind it - readers, contributors and

administrators alike.

 

 

Many, Many Regards, Best Wishes and Prayers,

 

 

A.R. RAMACHANDRAN
