the thiruppallaaNDu

[Guest guest]

Greetings Mani,

 

In rereading your excellent post of March 2, 1995, I came across your

discussion of Merton's familiarity with the thiruppallaaNDu. I would

like to know a little more about the thiruppallaaNDu, especially as

it relates to Ramanuja and to Vedanta in general. If you could shed a

little light on this I would be happy to learn more. Thank you.

 

Also, I read your discussion about Krishna and comparisons to Christ,

and I agree with you that besides a few episodes in the childhood

narratives the two are worlds apart. I have no problems with seeing

Krishna as Krishna and Christ as Christ. That is much better than

mixing things up.

 

Yours, Bill
