Namaskar,

Thank you for enabling me to be a member of this group. My name is John Grimes and I

did my BA mainly under Raimundo Panikkar at UCSB and my MA and PhD under TMP

Mahadevan, R. Balasubramanian, and PK Sundaram at the Radhakrishnan Institute for

Advanced Study in Philosophy at the University of Madras. I have written a number of books

on Advaita including a recent translation of Shankara's Vivekacudamani (Ashgate and Motilal

Banarsidass). At the University of Madras my professors had a special fascination for the

Vivarana school of Advaita and especially Suresvara. I look forward to following the

discussions of the group.
