Om Namo Naaraayanaaya - Introduction

[Guest guest]

Dear fellow Sri Vaishnavaites,

I found this group after searching on Groups for a Sri

Vaishnava group. Would like to humbly introduce myself with the kind

permission of the moderator.

 

My name is Seshadri Veeraraghavan; orginally from Chennai, I now live

in Houston, Texas. Despite being a Vadakalai Iyengar and having

deeply spiritual parents, I somehow initially did not "connect" with

the concept of the Supreme. Although I'd perform poojai every single

day and dutifully chant various stotrams, I had a lot of trouble

comprehending the idea of the Supreme, and could not reconcile His

mercy and power with the goings-on in this Kaliyuga.

 

However, recently I've started exploring and delving into my roots,

in which my father is helping me quite a bit. It started with a small

contribution to my father's Trust, in order to assist in the

renovation of the "Sri Kamalavalli Thayar Sametha Sri Vijayaraghava

Perumal Thirukkovil" temple in Puduvayal:

I've also started reading various scriptures with attention to

meaning, origin, reason, and purpose. A recent purchase of a book by

Shri SMS Chari, called "Philosophy and Theistic mysticism of Alwars,"

has helped me tremendously in both appreciating our wonderful

heritage and simultaneously made me lament the amount of time I spent

reading useless books and magazines that dealt in transient reality

rather than the eternal.

 

I hope to be able to learn a lot more and come to a firm[er]

understanding of our roots and our true aim in life with the kind

help of the members of this Group.

 

Thank you for your time.

 

Om Namo Naaraayanaaya!

 

Adiyen,

Seshadri Veeraraghavan
