Dear Sri Abhinava,

 

There are good books

Vaishnavism by Sri SMS Chari..

Hinduism Rediscovered by Sri Anbil Ramaswamy

Choice is Yours by Sri Sadagopan Iyengar

 

You may read the biography of SRi Ramanujacharya and Swamy Desikan [that are available in the web]

The wealth of information available in web pages [espeically www.sundarasimham.org]

You may read the Visishtadvaita tutorial available in members.tripod.com/~sriramanuja

 

There are good books: [that you can buy on line] [from www.ramanuja.org]

 

Advaita and Visistadvaita

by S.M. Srinivasa Chari, South Asia Books: reprinted 1998. [$26.00]

 

Comment: This is an outstanding analysis of the philosophical dispute between the Visishtadvaita and Advaita schools of Vedanta. The author bases his work on Vedanta Desika's Satadushani ("100 objections"), which he studied in the traditional manner from several scholars in India.

 

Fundamentals of Visistadvaita Vedanta : A study based on Vedanta Desika's Tattva Mukta Kalapa

by S.M. Srinivasa Chari, Motilal Banarsidass: 1988. [$32.50]

 

Comment: An authentic work, invaluable for deeper study of Visishtadvaita fundamentals.

 

Vaisnavism: Its Philosophy, Theology and Religious Discipline

by S.M. Srinivasa Chari, Motilal Banarsidass: 1994. [$32.00]

 

Comment: An reasonably comprehensive introduction to Vaishnavism. A very good book for those new to the tradition.
