Guest guest Posted August 11, 2001 Report Share Posted August 11, 2001 Jaya Sriman Narayana "Sri Ramanuja Vani" this is a quarterly journal of Sri Ramanuja Vedhanta Centre.The Editor is Dr.J Parthasarathy and the office is at 10 South Mada Street,Triplicane,Chennai 600005.Phone Chennai 844 1806.Rate of subscription Annual Rs 20/ Life200/. The magazine is in English and comes out with a number of articles by learned and knowledgeable scholors,vidwans profs etc.We were reading the present issue Vols,24&25 and at page 5 there was a book review on the book titled " Tengaliyum and Vadagaliyum" Let me reproduce para two of the review of the book for the benefit of my dear Srivaishnavites. "The present publication from his pen touches the rather sensitivefield of Tengalai and Vadagalai on which passions are easily roused and mind gets befuddled(-dictionary meaning of this word =confuse-this is mine) owing to long-cultivated attachments.It is sad chapter of our history that what started as differences of itrepretations of texts got hardened into social splits and two seperate sects,often at logger heads with each other at different levels,came into being. The age of Western materialism is tending to engulf all our ancient religious institutions and even over throw the foundations of our beleifs.In this alarming situation,it is prime necessity for memebrs of the two sects to understand with love and sympath theological frameworks of their two sects with their essentials unities and their differences in certain view points within the overall set up of doctrines of the religion.Such a sypathetic understanding,cultivated with love reaching out to each other as a common bond will surely prove effective in spreading the Sri Vaishnava spiritual visions appeal to more and more populations. We find a dispassionate expostion in this book of the agreements and the differences of the two sects on Tatva,Hita and Purushavtha(Moksha)........" Every one agrees to the above but act entirly to the contrary. Let Sriyapathi Lord Narayana take us in the right direction of following Emperumanar Darsanam.
