Hinduism Rediscovered – A monumental encyclopedia relevant and valid for all

times, written by the great Shri Anbil Ramaswamy Swamy one of the best

authors of 21st Century or even the third millenium of Christian era and

sixth millenium of Kaliyuga.

 

A Humble Review and Tribute.

 

There is a famous saying about the epic Mahabharatha “Yad iha asthi thad

anyatra Yat na iha sthi na thath Kvachith”. The meaning of this is what is

found in Mahabharatha is also found else where and what is not found here

cannot be found any where else. This axiom is eminently applicable to the

book Hinduism rediscovered which is under review now. I marvel the author

Sri Ubhayavedantha Vidwan Sri Anbil Ramaswamy for the patience and

perseverance he had in gathering so much of information with intricate

details and present it in an excellent and impressive sequential form.

 

If a real review has to be written to this book it would contain as many

pages as the book itself. So writing a pragmatic review is something

impossible and out of question. It is an encyclopedia on Hindu culture, Sri

Vaishnavite philosophy, religion, tradition, culture and customs.

 

The author has given a brief account of other religions and philosophies

that exist in this world. Barring subjects of physical and natural

sciences, modern mathematics, Engineering and medical sciences everything

under sun has been covered in this book under review.

 

It is still a mystery as to how the author was able to collect so much of

information on various topics presented in this book.

 

If a person possesses a copy of this book in his hand (not in the rack), one

need not go in search of another book for getting the required information.

 

Devotion towards Acharya

This book which can be considered as the eighth wonder of the world cannot

be written without possessing spiritual power and divine grace. The

Spiritual power has to flow only through an Acharya as Lord Sriman Narayana

will not directly confer the spiritual power as per our Sri Vaishnava

Sampradaya. Only an Acharya possessing all the qualities as narrated by Sri

Vedanta Desikan in the first two verses of Nyasa Vimsathi can confer the

above. All these qualities are in full measure in His Holiness Srimath

Paravakottai Srimad Andavan Sri Gopala Desika Maha Desikan of Sri

Poundarikapuram Srimad Andavan Ashramam, Srirangam, which is more than a

century old institution. His holiness possesses remarkable mystic powers.

 

If people take refuge under his lotus feet, His Holiness will confer upon

them the divine grace and spiritual power with which people can do wonders.

The most fitting example for the above is Shri Anbil Ramaswamy swamy who is

a very devoted disciple of his holiness. He did Kalakshepam of many

Vedantha granthas under the lotus feet of his holiness and his holiness did

Prapatti to him. So the divine grace and spiritual power acquired by him

through the above holiness has given him sufficient strength, courage,

wisdom, knowledge and perseverance to write this epoch making book.

 

In addition to the above, the author has studied spiritual texts under the

lotus feet of his holiness the present Srimath Alagia singar of Ahobila mutt

both in the Poorvashramam as well as in the present Sanyasa Ashramam and

also under the lotus feet of the late Purisai Nadathur Krishnamachariar

swamy who are all great exponents of Sri Visishtadwaitha philosophy.

 

So the author has eminently fulfilled the famous saying “Bahubyaa srotavya

bahudhaa srotavya, Gnana vriddha maya rajan bhava parye upasitha:” The

meaning of this is that knowledge has to be gained by listening to the

preaching of many Acharyas who would teach all aspects of a subject matter.

 

The combined and comprehensive knowledge imparted to him by the above

stalwarts has contributed to the complete success of this book.

 

This book is a worthy possession of every man and woman and especially in

Sri Vaishnavite tradition and it deserves being read daily by every

individual just like Srimath Ramayana Paarayana so that valuable and

innumerable ideas contained in this book get fully consolidated in the minds

of the readers. Extracts from this book are worthy of being quoted by those

who deliver spiritual discourses.

 

“Yavath sthasyam thi giraya sarithas cha mahitale thavad Ramayana katha

lokeshu pracharishyethi” was the boon conferred on Sri Valmiki Ramayana by

the Lord Chathurmukha Brahma and every syllable of the same is true even

to-day. The meaning of the above is that Srimad Valmiki Ramayana gets

propagated in this world; so long the mountains and rivers are there.

 

I pray to Srirangam Divya Dampathi and Poorvacharyas to confer the same boon

on this book also and also pray to them to bless this outstanding author to

live for several decades to come, with good health so that many more such

precious books may come out with his tireless efforts and yeoman service.

 

The books can be had at the following address on payment of Rs.480/- per

copy payable in Cash, Cheque or Demand draft drawn in favor of “Sri

Ramaswamy Anbil” and sent to
