Guest guest Posted March 19, 2000 Report Share Posted March 19, 2000 SrI Krishna Kalale: As you might have noticed, I have titled the write-up as a "Review article". It draws from several sources. I have listed some of the major sources below: 1. Vol. 4 of the Agama Series by Kalpataru Research Academy, edited by Ramachandra Rao. 2. pAdma samhita - with foreward by Sudarsanam SrI Krishnaswamy Aiyengar. 3. Agama prAmANyam - General Editor A. N. Jani, Edited by M. Narasimhachary, 1976. 4. 4. SrI pAncarAtra rakshA of SrI vedAnta deSika - edited by M. Duraiswamy Aiyengar, with an Introduction by G. Srinivasa Murti 5. Agama PrAmANyam - Translation by J. A. B. van Buitenen 6. Agamas and South India Vaishnavism - I have only copy of Chapter X from someone, and do not have the author's name. I will find it and share it later. I had a big question in my mind on whether to even share the info I gathered with the list or keep it to myself. I just felt there may be enough readers in the list like me who would want to learn about the Agama-s at least a high level, and so I have tried to reflect the views expressed by many of the above writers without trying to add "my own views", even though inadvertently I might have done it. In general there has been no reaction from the list so far for the four parts I have submitted. I don not know whether this means that the write-up is not adding much value, or too complex or something else. The request to Sri Krishna Kalale and the others in the list is to correct me where I am wrong, so that I can learn in the process. I also would like advice in person or in public on whether I should continue the series, or whether there are enough differences in views that I may not be reflecting the "accepted views", and should stop it. I have started a similar effort on the vaikhAnasa Agama, for which unfortunately I don't even have as many sources. -dAsan kRshNamAcAryan Talk to your friends online with Messenger. http://im.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2000 Report Share Posted March 20, 2000 Dear friend: We are beholden to you for an insightful series on Agamas, which is an eye opener for very many who have no idea of what the Agamas really mean. Please be assured: We believe that you will not misguide us and if anything you will err on the right side only. Please don't be put off by lack of response. It does happen to all writers on the list. Please remember that you have scores of silent readers out there. Please continue this kainkaryam for our benefit. Looking forward to your series on the Vaikhanasa Agamam Dasoham Anbil Ramaswamy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2000 Report Share Posted March 20, 2000 Dear Sriman Krishnamachari : Your articles on PaancharAthram are well researched and are valuable . It is my experience that many times , we do not get as much feedback as one would like to get , when engaging in a serious effort such as yours .Please continue to enlighten us on both the Paancha RaathrA and the VaikAnasa Aagamams and particularly the points of difference . The Melukote Sanskrit Academy has done pioneering work in the study of Aagamaas and you may wish to get in touch with Sri Lakshmi TatachAr , the Director of Sanskrit academy . In a related matter , the Academy is putting together a critical study of BhAshyams for Upanishads follwing the Sri SampradhAyam ( Based on Sri RangarAmAnuja Muni's Sanskrit text ) .These are distinct and clearly defined projects that members would like to support and benefit from . Regarding the Aagamaas , the top study centers are at Melukote and Kaanchi .Even Bhattars from Kaanchi come to study PaancharAthra Aagamam at Melukote . You may wish to get in touch with the Academy thru Dr.M.A.Alwar ( the elder son of Dr. Lakshmi TatachAr , the Director of the Melukote Sanskrit Academy ) for additional sources and critical commentaries.

Agamas and South India Vaishnavism - I have onlycopy of Chapter X from someone, and do not have the author's name. I will find it and share it later. This is the biblio for the last book. This is an excellent book. I have seen it in a library here in the US. Varadachari, V. (Venkatadriagaram), Agamas and South Indian Vaisnavism ..Madras : Prof. M. Rangacharya Memorial Trust : , 1982.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2000 Report Share Posted March 21, 2000 As a North Indian who thinks that his convictions are approached most closely by Ubhaya Vedanta, I really appreciate the posts on Tamil works and also on the Pancharatras. This is because in contrast to the Sanskrit Vedanta works of the Sri Vaishnavas, the other two are not very accessible to us. I have been learning a lot here, to my great delight. As a silent reader, I request you to continue Sri Vishnu's work on the list.
