Booklets on sri madhvacharya and sri jayatheertha

[Guest guest]

Hi KrishNabhaktas,

Some time ago there was a talk about producing booklets related

Dvaita philosophy and its

Gurus. I am happy to report that there is an effort underway to make it

happen. I want to thank all the volunteers who have signed up for this

effort.

 

Please note that this effort is different from the effort for CD-ROM on

sri madhvacharya that was discussed here short while ago. Idea to have a

small booklets suitable for children and beginners produced very

quickly.

 

Here is an effort to produce two booklets with some VMS volunteers on

the life history and worksof sri madhvacharya and sri jayatheertha.

These booklets are intended as very

simple things suitable for laymen and children to get information in

English about these two

great Gurus. I have come up with a Table of contents and have

volunteers signed up for

the task. The booklets are in the Q & A format.

 

I would like get this group's input on the Table of Contents for the

document. Please review the TOC and give any suggestion and comments

that you

have. Thanks for your help,

 

Regards,

Vasu

Outline for sri madhvacharya life history

 

Here is outline for booklet on sri madhvacharya that we wanted to do.

Here is the

draft outline. Let us have input from every body before we finalize the

outline.

 

The content of the book is in the form of Q & A. I believe that this

format

(which has been used successfully on other books on Hinduism) make for

easier

reading. People can read the book in small segments.

Suggestions:

 

 

1. I suggest you reword " How did his life end? " . You can take it out

altogether and include one line elsewhere to let readers know where his

Vridaavana is.

 

2. Q1: How did sri madhvacharya came to present a new philosophical view?

Instead of this you should probably say, " According to Madhwa, what is

the correct

philosophical view? "

 

I assume a copy of the material will be distributed to this group for

review,

before it goes to print.
